No more sauerkraut for me. No, sir.

Pfft. Peppers I can handle. I'm not whining about a little postprandial capsaicin extrusion, here. No sirree Bob. That's bush league. I'm talking kraeusening on steroids, über-fermentation, ignoble rot, miasma most foul, Orkish delight, flatus corruptus, an ill wind of the something-crawled-up-my-@$$-and-died kind. GAS. Bad gas. Monumentally bad. Nearly three days of it. And it burned my butt-skin, not my rosebud. Tell me you've ever heard of caustic poots like that before. I haven't.sbfluter wrote:Be careful with some of that Indian food, too. That thing that looks like a green bean?

How clear do I have to make this????? Sheesh.
Go back, read my post, and learn the power of literary compression.
I can't believe it. I could eat sauerkraut with impunity before. Aging may have its not-so-pretty downsides, but I had no idea how potentially lethal I'd become. I didn't even ask for superpowers, and THIS is what I get. *sigh*
Oh, well. I was never all that wild about sauerkraut, anyway, so you can all relax.

I don't have perfect pitch, but I do have perfect time and perfect temperature. I always seem to know what time it is and, well obviously, what temperature.
I can, after decades of playing the guitar, including D chords thousands of times, put my fingers on the wrong strings when I am the only one playing on a stage while the rest of my band waits their turn to come in. I am truly gifted that way.

Heh heh. Caustic poots. You have a way with words. I believe THAT is your true superpower.Nanohedron wrote:I'm talking kraeusening on steroids, über-fermentation, ignoble rot, miasma most foul, Orkish delight, flatus corruptus, an ill wind of the something-crawled-up-my-@$$-and-died kind.

- Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

I've used my superpower all this week. I can be deathly ill with this cruddy bug I've got and still drag out to work every day, drive all day with the window down in freezing temps and blowing snow, get no sleep due to the coughing and sniffling then get up and do it again the next day.

My superpower failed me today. Got my sub to come in to work.
So, I feel better in that I was not going out to deliver mail in single digit temps this morning.
