Dunno where to put this, but since I took the pic myself:



This...this is what I do during my breaks...the doodling, not so much the napping (which would be preferred).

I see the comparison, but have no idea who the second picture is.

He's one of the actors in a British TV show called the Inbetweeners.

Jovolo

Looks more like Chris from Skins, especially the second picture.

The chicken's upside down...so technically not wearing a hat?

Hayte

I am thoroughly confused by the chicken. Is that a puppy potty training pad on top of it?

It's mainly used for whole chickens because these are sealed in a plastic wrap type thing so any juices/blood/oils/whatever fluids they keep secreting won't leak out. Essentially a sanitary pad for meats >_>

Hayte

edit: what do I know about cooking. Nothing. I eat tuna fish or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches 3 meals a day,

Wysteria

Did you know tuna fish come from something called an ocean? Don't go eating just sandwiches it's not good for you!

I had to explain to a customer once that lobsters weren't land based creatures, I file them under the same category of people I had to explain "0" and "12 noon" to.

Hayte

The abuse my body has had to deal with pales beside a few months eating only sandwiches.
Also 12 noon is redundant. There is 0, and there is 12.

Wysteria

I did the whole "it's the middle of the day / 12 o'clock / 1200 hours" but then they only got it when I said "lunchtime". Also, I meant I had to explain what "zero" itself was because when I read out numbers, people think "zero" is the letter "o" despite my specifying no (so if they try to track shipments with letters instead of numbers they will be very disappointed). These were people where English was their first and only language. /rant

I once met a person who didn't know milk came from cows (or other mammals), believing it was some kind of synthetic factory product.

I do not ever want to encounter the type of people you guys do...

How did we come up with the idea to milk cows in the first place?

"Oh look, something white comes from the nipples of this cow if you squeeze it. Lets drink some."

What did I just watch?

Also, have a wet rainbow lorikeet or two from my windowsill:

My dad, who works in a supermarket, had a customer who had no idea that chickens only had 2 legs.  She would buy these pack of whole chickens that would come with 2 extra drumsticks and when she saw a chicken for the first time had to ask what it was and wouldn't believe the person telling her it was a chicken because she was adamant that they had 4 legs.

I've always asked myself that question.  Also, is that Tim Curry narrating that?

Achimrst

Maybe I made it too small....Anyway this is my puppity! Andrew Alexander Maxwellington!
And yes I actually registered him with as much of that name as I could fit into the application!

Hataru

@Achimrst Pickle's name was originally Rupert Alexander Maxwell <my last name>-<dead ex-roommate's last name>

He chose Pickles and I think it is better suited for his derpyness.

Achimrst

Wow that is funny they were sort of similar in names! I wanted to name him Alexander but the person I am with said his friend had a baby and named it Alexander first...so I had to name him Andrew. He is extremely spoiled, he has his own damn toy box...in the living room! and two beds!  not to mention the millions I spend on treats! He is so cute though so it's my fault.

It gets only worse with things like cheese though. "Let's take that white fluid from those cow nipples, let it sit around for a long time until it becomes a solid, possibly moldy lump, then eat it. And if it doesn't go bad quick enough on its own, let's throw some bacteria in there to help the process."

Milk isn't even really good for us, that's why so many adults develop (read: not born with) lactose intolerances later in life. Cause you're ingesting something we're not made to ingest past infancy.

Azi

people develop lactose intolerance because of things made with milk, not from drinking milk itself.. lattes and ice cream man

Hataru

I never specified where the milk people were ingesting came from, I said milk in a very general way, I also never said the word drinking. Any amount of ingesting milk (including that stupid one glass a day myth) contributes to this issue.

People weren't "made" to ingest anything particular at all. We aren't machines built with a specific fuel source in mind, just an organism that has grown to be able to deal with a variety of food sources, some more suitable, some less, as well as the current situation allows. There's no doubt that some kinds of nourishment are healthier for us than others, but all in all our digestive system is quite amazingly flexible compared to most other animals (just think of all the caterpillar species whose survival depends entirely on the existence of a single plant species!).

That's why different cultures of people around the world have so vastly different eating habits, yet still can live rather happily and healthily. You might not grow to live 100 years, but who cares.

Hataru

@Iocun well of course we have flexibility but I was speaking more so about the fact that we're the only species we know of that ingests lactose post-infancy/juvenile years and it doesn't often lead to a negative reaction towards the digestion of lactose.

And even more so, just to casually comment, the fact that there's very popular myths that milk is sooooo good for you and its required to be healthy and all this nonsense. We can of course still drink it/use it in food/etc. and what have you, just that for something that isn't actually, in reality, "suppose" to still be in our diet at those points in our lives we sure have a lot of myths and exaggerations about their benefits.

Summary: our cultural association of milk with health is facepalm worthy but god DAMN do I love cheese.

Aitox

Can you lot please take your shitty topic about cheese, milk, and whatnot elsewhere. At least post a pic of a delicious blue cheese (accompanied by red wine) if you're going to insist. Each time I see there are posts here, I get excited about possible abs.

Edit: Grammar sucks.

Hataru

god damn now I'm hungry.

EDIT: Nvm, don't want to continue derailing!
