1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Out here wondering how some people ever make it to old age.
Our 'society' is geared towards propping up the useless.

 

I watched Idiocracy last night on YouTube. I love that documentary.

 

Go away, baitin.

 

Favorite line of the movie!

 

Yup. I said fuck it and called in. I called in after lunch yesterday too. I think I'm in idgaf mode.

 

My nutsack is bleeding.

You, me, @chrisb and at least one or two others in the same boat.

I'm seeing so much shuffle during this last year. Everyone leaving. My boss just resigned three weeks ago, but has to put in 12 weeks notice because of how high up he is. This means I'll be getting my 4th new boss in 4 years. I'm actively looking at this point. Just need something to get me through another 5 years at or above current rate and hopefully I can kick back and do whatever the hell I want, wherever the hell I want.

 

Snip snip, bud. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Doc appears to've stitched me up internal and external. External stitches gave when I re-gauzed 2nd time. Didn't realize what happened until 2 days later, and by then there was no point in going back to doc to replace the outer stitches. I injure myself a lot, great with wound care, I took care of it. Thought all was good, then this morning, re-gauze and BAM. Managed to pull two edges again, despite being wet w/ointment. Sigh.

Has anyone seen my crown? The king of TMI needs to go lay down now.

 

Well, in honor of @shifty` ... let's change the subject. I fixed the corolla today.

 

All I have to say is make sure to keep it clean. The amount of wounds I see get infected is awful. They may not have added outside stitches to let it drain. Be super cautious with different cleaners most burn

 

Nah, it was definitely external-stitched. I checked out everything after surgery so I'd have a baseline for care.

Wound margins look good. No dark red to indicate infection. Since mid-week, it's pulled together nicely, shrunk to ~1/2 size.
I'm re-applying bacitracin and fresh gauze pad 3x-5x/day. No cleaners - just mild soap and water in shower daily, and bacitracin slather.
No blood, weep, or ooze until I pulled gauze too fast this AM. Kinda pissed, was in a rush to get the kids to school and wasn't careful.

This is the last place I want an infection. Last thing I need is to have one or both main sources of testosterone production removed

 

The king of TMI has risen!!!

 

I work in vet med and er for a year. I’ve heard way worse

 

I have two daughters and two grandsons, I've also heard worse.

 

Circling back to my flickering fog lights. If I were to snag the fog light plugs off lsaami's part's truck, do you think I could re-wire them to my wires? Basically get me back to stock configuration and then use some adapters to run the aftermarket fogs.

@Tundra2 mentioned these adapters a long time ago.

these are just the original plug ends that you cut off to wire in your baja kit. If you threw them out, then yes, you'd need to buy these, or as you mentioned get them from a donor and wire back to stock. Then plug these

into those replaced stock fog light plugs, and wire the other end to the baja kit. In other words, this kit goes inline between your stock fog plugs and your baja kit. And comes with prewired relays so super simple to hook up

 

Rockin' GG now, eh? Heh. I'm shocked anyone remembers who he is.

 

Got no acknowledgment for my cool kid avatar(@Sirfive), but I was informed by someone else that it may have been NSFW. Anyways, yeah I got into punk music at a young age, when he was actually still alive. Never saw him live but I'm okay with that. IYKYK

 

Yeah, I'm with you. I wouldn't have wanted to kit pissed/bled/spat on either

 

Floor lamps are NSFW?

 

I love watching these races

 

I did one better….699, 700 & 701.

 

Nah, the guy in his avatar photo. GG Allin. Notorious for cutting himself up on stage, getting bloody and naked, ensuring bodily fluids got at least three or four rows out from the stage. I never saw him either, had the chance, but noped-out because ... naw.

He had a really famous show from back in the mid-80s, you can find pics of him bloody, naked, in a cage. Dunno. A couple of guys I know at Ink19 did one or more really good writeups on the guy after going to shows etc. Punk rock legend, depending who you ask.

 

I was wondering why you knew so much about Sutures on testicles

 

Pretty sure dodging biological ballistics is part of the rites of passage for young punkers.
Lord knows I've done it, but not at a GG show.

 

There's a lot of truth in that movie. Probably more than some would like to admit.


Nice and toasty here this week:

 

105 degrees is a healthy 30 too many.

 

I help remove testicles daily watch out @Tundra2

 

Living here isn't for everybody. I can't tell you how many people I've seen over the years last maybe a year or two. They usually make the mistake of visiting in Jan or Feb when it's in the 70's and mistakenly believe it's perfect for them. Then they get a taste of summer and invariably move back to where they came from. I personally would love to visit where @Glock 40 lives but I know damn well I wouldn't, couldn't, survive there. Lol!
