Goodbye forever, Jes.
Still, though, I prefer number 8 of this Blink 182 list over those:

Si vis pacem, para bellum
I didn't realize that there were more than 10 on that Blink 182 list. I could've gone all the way to 31 to show how much I don't care for Elvis/Beatles.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
What I saw on the street today, though, was an old lady walking her white fluffy CAT. On a leash.
Did the cat evolve into a dog, or did it descend into the depths of dog?
"They sold you hippies grunge, hip hop, now liberty activism."
Cats are Elvis.
Dogs are The Beatles.
This is why we can't have nice things.
"From German: an attempt to make things better which actually turns things worse than they were."
Barbara, does this word really mean that? Because, man...
"From German: an attempt to make things better which actually turns things worse than they were."
I didn't know they made a word for the story of my life.
That's how I captioned it on Facebook...
I guess this way of compounding words has its perks.
It looks like that word tried to make something better but instead made things worse.
I think it's hilarious how words look like their meanings.
I forget what it is, but the phobia of long words is a really long word.
"From German: an attempt to make things better which actually turns things worse than they were."
Barbara, does this word really mean that? Because, man...
yes, that´s the meaning and yes, that actually is a legit german word, though i never heard anyone use it . concerning the length, nothing unusual, we like adding words to each other to create new one.
Oh, I know about the length. Prepending was what it's called, if I remember correctly. When we were in the 6th grade, our German teacher told us one of the longest words in the language was something that meant the Hottentotten's mother assassin.
Is it Hottentottenstottertrottelmutterbeutelrattenlattengitterkofferattentäter?
Sounds about right.
an assassin out to kill a stupid stuttering mother of a hottentot with an opossum cage, made out of slats and mesh wire.
uhm, yes.
Sometimes I wish we'd had a better teacher or that I'd paid more attention in class. Four years of German and I can only ask for directions, food, and read simple sentences.
BUT I can still help my 7th-grade sister with the grammar. That seems to have sticked.
I would love to learn German.
Barbara should create a thread!
It's not about the length of the word but how you use it.
Breaking news
..Missing schoolgirl Megan Stammers has been located in Bordeaux with her maths teacher Jeremy Forrest, according to Sussex police.
In a statement, police said: "They were found today (Friday 28 September) at 12.15pm UK time. Mr Forrest has been arrested and Megan has been taken into protection."
Police received seven calls about the 15-year-old's possible whereabouts after her father made an emotional appeal on the BBC's Crimewatch programme on Thursday night.
More follows...
DMX googles himself for the first time...
Haha. DMX is everybody's grandfather.
There's also such thing as too big. Those German words are way the fuck too intimidating.

Twice in my life have I needed just this word and did not know it.
This is why we can't have nice things.
And learns he was once in a movie with Tom Arnold called Cradle 2 the Grave.
Regret nothing. Not the cruel novels you read
to the end just to find out who killed the cook.
Not the insipid movies that made you cry in the dark,
in spite of your intelligence, your sophistication.
Not the lover you left quivering in a hotel parking lot,
the one you beat to the punchline, the door, or the one
who left you in your red dress and shoes, the ones
that crimped your toes, don’t regret those.
Not the nights you called god names and cursed
your mother, sunk like a dog in the livingroom couch,b
chewing your nails and crushed by loneliness.
You were meant to inhale those smoky nights
over a bottle of flat beer, to sweep stuck onion rings
across the dirty restaurant floor, to wear the frayed
coat with its loose buttons, its pockets full of struck matches.
You’ve walked those streets a thousand times and still
you end up here. Regret none of it, not one
of the wasted days you wanted to know nothing,
when the lights from the carnival rides
were the only stars you believed in, loving them
for their uselessness, not wanting to be saved.
You’ve traveled this far on the back of every mistake,
ridden in dark-eyed and morose but calm as a house
after the TV set has been pitched out the upstairs
window. Harmless as a broken ax. Emptied
of expectation. Relax. Don’t bother remembering any of it.
Let’s stop here, under the lit sign
on the corner, and watch all the people walk by.
Heh.
This is why we can't have nice things.
These are funny

Especially this one
True story, of the forever alone variety: I was waiting for a certain girl to call me, and I didn't want to miss her call while I was in the shower. No phone near the bathroom (cell phones were 20 years away!), no answering machine...so I put my old cassette tape recorder near the phone, pressed record, and jumped into the shower.
About five minutes later, I jump out of the shower in record time, rewind the tape, and play it back. Couldn't fast forward through it--too easy to miss the phone ringing that way. So I had to sit there, listening to this damn tape for several minutes, and...
...it had nothing but the lonely and distant sound of a neighbor's lawnmower. She never called. FOREVER ALONE!!
Looks like Pizza Hut is offering KitKats wrapped in dough in the Middle East.

My stomach just turned (but it can't be any worse than their dessert pizza)
When I worked at Pizza Hut, I used to like their dessert pizza and their cinnamon sticks. I kinda want to try those KitKat things. Not sure if they would be good or not.
Too sweet for me. I only tried them off the Lunch Buffet bar (everything off that tastes a little off anyway).
Oh yeah, it's way sweet. You can only have one piece.
It's old, but it's still my favorite thing ever.

That pi shit is the stupidest, meaninglessest shit ever. A Darren Aronofsky movie happened because of it but other than that, fuck Pi and all it's stupid number family. It's just another thing for Matrix fans to dork over and play Robot People with.

I don't know why but rabid kittens is funny to me.
I celebrate Pi Day every March 14th heavily. Dressing up and drinking and sometimes baked goods.
It's my birthday but sometimes I think about numbers too.
I know why. You're horrible.
Can those words even be put in that order? Is this even a thing? What does that even mean? Sweet is good.
Too sweet can be good, but usually not when it involves food.
It's my birthday but sometimes I think about numbers too.
I do the same thing for st. patricks day every march 17th.
I definitely think about numbers, and I curse the color green and everyone who ever pinch me growing up.
Bastards abusing me on my birthday.
Did I do something to you? Did I step on your new shoes causing them to become irreparably scuffed? Did I borrow your car to steal an ATM and leave you to take the rap for it? Did I drink the last bit of milk before you woke up? Did I leave the door open, letting all your cats escape into a freedom that they don't know they can't handle? Did I fuck Justin Timberlake last weekend when you were out of town?
If not, stop being such a fucking asshole.
That wasn't for you lol.
Hahahaha.
You didn't post directly below him AND didn't quote?
You deserve every word.
Come on, kittens are wobbly and cute and all they do is run around and play and meow. Now add angry growls and frazzled fur and mean yowls. That's comedy.
.... I gotta say, he's convinced me.
