Same here on both counts due to the passage of time. But back when I was a kid, thongs were footwear in my world. -

Considering it's a male dog, I think saying "neutering" would've been more on point. 😝 HOW DO YOU LIKE BEING NEUTERED HUMAN? NOT SO COOL HUH? -

My parents called them thongs. Any time I was around my peers I was probably wearing shoes and socks. Oddly enough my grandma called them flipflops and I thought THAT was weird. 😆 -
What Are You Thinking About Right Now?

ZzzQuil: Where the varieties are made up and the inactive ingredients don't matter. I don't know how common this is for over the counter medications or food products but this had me absolutely flabbergasted..... A while ago my dad told me was having sleep issues because his doctor told him his recurring rash was dude to an ingredient in the sleep aid he was using, the ingredient being propylene glycol (or something similar). So I asked him if he looked for other sleep aids that don't have that, and mentioned Zzzquil. He told me he can't look at the ingredients because the print is too tiny for his old eyes. So I offered to go look for something the next time I go to the pharmacy. I get a box of Zzzquil Ultra tablets, no propylene glycol listed in the ingredients. He lets me know today that he doesn't like the pills because they have a really horrible lingering after taste that won't go away no matter how much water he drinks afterwards, so he was going to try the liquid version. None of this shit makes sense to me, especially wanting to try the liquid version when your chief complaint is a bad taste. I was convinced I could find a different style of pill (like tablets vs liquigels kinda thing) so I go to the pharmacy to look for something. The variety I got him, the Ultra, was not there in another other pill form or liquid form. I found what LOOKED like, judging by the label as close to a "regular" formula Zzzquil might have. Liquigels, so that's good because the bad tasting ones I got him last time were tablets. But the pills have propylene glycol. So I find the liquid version. I found a 6 oz bottle and a 12 oz bottle. Other than the size of the bottle, they looked completely identical. Same label, same flavor, same dosage. But the 12 oz bottle had propylene glycol listed as an inactive ingredient, while the 6 oz bottle did not have it listed anywhere on the bottle. This confused the shit out of me. They're stocking these at the same time with two different formulas, there must be some kind of difference I'm not seeing, because the only difference being the size of the bottle but one having the ingredient and the other not makes no fucking sense to me. So I take the bottles to the pharmacist and she takes a quick glance and tells me they are the same thing. I tell her about propylene glycol being in one bottle but not the other. She compares the ingredients lists and asks me "Do you want with or without?" I say "Without" and she says, "this one then." Still confused I'm like, "But are they the same product?" She says yes, the same product because of the same active ingredient. Like apparently this is perfectly normal and accepted practice? This makes no fucking sense to me. Differences in inactive ingredients SHOULD be important distinctions because they could have unwanted side effects, such as giving my dad a rash, or something much, much worse. But if the labels are tricking you into thinking well "I know this doesn't have the harmful ingredient but I'd like it in a bigger bottle... ah, here we go!" And it triggers an allergy..... How is this ok? -

This hasn't happened to me yet because I haven't brought this up yet, but it very well could happen..... Having a 20 something balk at you for telling them you remember a time when thongs were a type of footwear rather than a type of underwear. -
When you finally get home from a trip
Doom Metal Alchemist replied to molarbear's topic in Free-For-All
And THAT reminds ME of something ELSE that happened to me that is similar... I was at a metal concert at a bar in the middle of nowhere. All I was concerned with seeing was the headliner. I believe when I arrived the third to last band was playing (either that or second to last). It was a long drive and I wanted to make sure I didn't have to suddenly take a shit while the headliner was playing, so I headed to the bathroom to do my best to get something out so hopefully the urge wouldn't hit when I really wanted to pay attention to the concert. Well, it was in there, but deep in there. Like I could tell I would have to go in a bit, but right now it wasn't quite ready. But I was determined to force it out. While I was shitting, a dude at a urinal and another dude were talking to each other, and when I finally got out of the stall, the dude not peeing gave me a hard time like, "Got any cocaine?" "You were in there a long time you can't tell me you weren't doing coke in there." Weirded me out but I was trying to play it off as haha that's a good joke dude. But it made me uncomfortable, I found it insulting, and thought that dude was really weird and creepy for those comments. But the guy at the urinal hears me running the sink and getting the paper towels to dry my hands and he goes "he's using the towels! Guys doing cocaine don't wash their hands!" And then the creepy guy was like, yeah ok, but damn you were in there a long time. Then later.... I had to take a piss so I went to the urinal (after the concert) and while I was pissing, I heard from the stall, a huge SNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFFFFFF...... AHHHHHHH....... Then the dude (whatever dude it was, my back was turned since I was peeing) left without either flushing the toilet or washing his hands. And then I was like, :"Hmm.... maybe that weird guy had a point...." -

When you finally get home from a trip
Doom Metal Alchemist replied to molarbear's topic in Free-For-All
Back when I was a real shy pooper (I'm not anymore) I had diarrhea at college, I went to a bathroom on like the third floor figuring least chance of anybody in there. I walk in there, looks empty then as soon as I close the door to the stall a couple dudes walk in, and they are having a conversation. A full blown conversation, not small talk. They had no intention of moving this long conversation anywhere but that bathroom. Driving me fucking nuts trying to hold in my diarrhea until they left, I eventually realized They ain't even leaving if the fucking fire alarm is pulled, so I just let loose. They left promptly. Dumb pieces of fucking shit. Why would you choose a mother fucking bathroom as your hangout spot? Fuck you. -

Ah. As far as anime goes, if it was never on AS or CN, chances are I don't know it.
