The one thing I keep on trying to figure out is; if I call sometime in the next time zone over, and tell them to stop me from watching it, will they be able to?
Or is it impossible since if they do stop me, then they’d never have been called, thus making me call them etc?
@RiotDemon That was a rule. The Kia Sorento ahead of us cheated and drove 40 in the straightaways and then zoomed around the turns. I tried to keep up but am chicken. And a crappy driver.
/giphy chicken
@sammydog01 I’d probably of done what the Kia did. I’d love to do a ride along with a race car driver. I’d prefer something that includes right turns as well.
@hotwheels53 When you get old and everyday you see hear about people dying that are younger than you-you watch and savior time very carefully. That is one reason I will probably keep working until I die-as long as my brain holds out.

There are worse things than being semi-retired in Florida. Sit up and watch whatever weird cultural milestones are interesting, and have a great time.
Little work, no winter.
PS there are a bunch of Floridians here. Maybe you should start a “Florida” thread.
@f00l Not complaining (well maybe a little bit). Florida has a little bit of everything. Guess it depends where you live and what you are all about.
Still a little bit brainwashed by memories of visiting my parents in Florida. Have to bribe our kids (as well as pay for their plane fare) to get them down her to visit us.
Living in the nicest house i’ve ever lived in and driving the nicest cars. Still working at the same job I had up North so still feeling useful. Traveling a lot more. I guess not a lot to complain about.
I wouldn’t do it, but it seems every bit as reasonable as watching a ball drop into times square on new year’s. When I was younger I thought it was a free fall and was excited. Huge disappointment.
I fell asleep. It was a few minutes after when I woke up. The cable box was the only thing that changed. The other 3 clocks, that are suppose to be atomic (or whatever it is) took their time. They all figured it out by the next day.
@smilingjack The worst part was, I got what was suppose to be decaf coffee at 8pm and it wasn’t! So I was up all night (because caffeine only works at night) yet fell asleep for a few minutes at just the wrong time!
@f00l I used to drink Mt. Dew constantly. Now I don’t drink any soda, and rarely anything with caffeine. When I do, it actually does something. When I had to work nights a while back, I had a large tea before I started, and that was plenty to keep me awake.
Sometimes I forget that chocolate has caffeine in it, and when I’m staring at the ceiling in the middle of the night, then I’ll suddenly remember if I had a chocolate bar.
no, but it sure as hell confused the shit out of me when it happened. (it’s possible i was highly intoxicated at the time though.) (well, more like probable, not possible.) (actually, i was 23.6 sheets to the wind.)
It’s not useless. I actually needed the extra hour.
@narfcake I’m not in the mood of getting the video which you know I’m thinking of. Care to do the honors?

I still don’t approve of that Elmo gif. It reminds me of when I found out that Elmo is a puppet.
@PlacidPenguin Yeah, that’s why I posted it.
BTW, Irk is a puppet too.
@narfcake
I don’t believe that.
Also, I’m working on something for everybody but you.
It’s taking a bit longer than expected, though it’ll be ready soon.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Yes
a) yes
@Yoda_Daenerys I love that goddamn game, I JUST WISH NIANTIC WOULD LET US HAVE TRACKING I FUCKING SWEAR THESE GODDAMN OLD WHITE BASTARDS WITH NO SOULS
Today I took my minivan to the local Nascar track and drove behind a pace car at 55 MPH. Why? Why not.
@sammydog01 only 55?

@RiotDemon Odysseys don’t corner well. I have a friend with a Camaro convertible- I should have asked her for a ride.
No Felton it just means you like to sit around and watch time fly.

No - it just means you are caught in a time warp repeat cycle
@Felton10
What’s wrong with having no life?
And at least you weren’t stuck is an endless Groundhog Day loop of reliving that time change for eternity
/giphy Groundhog Day
@Felton10
/giphy eternity
@f00l But I am, I am semi retired in Florida. Why else would staying up till 12 AM each night to see what Meh has to offer be the highlight of my day?

@Pantheist Thinking about it so did I (thinking it was a free fall).

@smilingjack
Hint: if you drink caffeine morning till night, nonstop, you become less sensitive to it thru the “overdose treatment protocol”.
