Say what?

In the cafeteria where I often eat lunch, there is this sign:

"Please do not place trash in trashcans."

Then why the heck to you have like six trashcans there? For decorative purposes only?


Also I had LJ loaded when I was talking with one of my fellow grad students. The first page after you log in often shows the last three comments left in your journal, including your own, complete with icons. Unfortunately, one of these comments was left by myself with my fabulous rainbow dildo icon.

I know he saw it because his speech slowed down as he realized what exactly was on my screen. He didn't say anything about it to me at the time and I only realized it after i turned back to my screen. Luckily, he doesn't realize that it was my icon. I can always blame it on you people if he ever asks.

"Yeah, I have some 'interesting' friends on the internet." Like myself. LOLOL.

I love that icon! :D

Yeah, your "friends" have weird icons. Uh huh. ¬_¬

[tsaiko.livejournal.com]

Because obviously all my icons are as clean and pure as the driven snow. Really.

[lighthawk.livejournal.com]

Yellow snow is just as pure as white snow. Maybe more so as urine is sterile and bacteria make good condensation nucleae for snow.

[theotherdibbler.livejournal.com]

Urine is not sterile, case in point you just pointed out that it contains bacteria.



I'm still trying to figure out the trashcan deal, so what, are people meant to just leave their trash on the tables and floor? Although it says 'do not place trash in trashcans', so maybe you're meant to lob it in like a basketball or something?

And I cringe everytime someone walks past my desk at work if your rainbow dildo icon happens to be on the screen. It's fabulous, but I still dread the possible reactions if anyone actually notices it. :P

[lighthawk.livejournal.com]

Actually, fresh urine is sterile. It just happens to not remain so for very long. :P

As for condensation nucleae, that's what the water molecules latch onto when snow/rain is formed. Bacteria, salt, dust, most anything that a water molecule can stick to make condensation nucleae.

Consider me corrected.

I try not to use my not safe for work icons very often because I know that some people (like me) read LJ on public computers on occasion.

But I can't help it sometimes.

[theotherdibbler.livejournal.com]

Well there'd be little point in having them if you didn't use them. ;)
I figure if people like myself get caught looking at NSFW stuff then we shouldn't have been looking at it at work in the first place. :P

hahahaha that's great! trashcans can be exceedingly decorative. i really don't think you understand how frivolous some of those trashcans can get.

[tsaiko.livejournal.com]

Your comment generated an ad in Gmail that read "Ugly Trash Cans Ruin Stylish Homes! Stylish Solutions - $49+ Ships Free." Obviously gmail agrees that I simply don't understand the decorative nature of trashcans. XD

[karinaspellman.livejournal.com]

Obviously.

And now I know how to get certain e-mails sent to you without doing it myself. *evil cackle*

See, to me, that's funny, as during our reaccred a few months ago, we all knew that the Dean was on a tear (again) about the ugly trashcans (again).

Also - would love to see a pic of the infamous sign.

[tsaiko.livejournal.com]

As if a Dean doesn't have more important things to worry about during accreditation. -_-

I'm not sure I can get a picture, but if I bring my camera onto campus, I'll try.

... all I can think of is someone had a real brain-fault moment and meant to say 'trays' instead of trash... that'd make sense and since they have the same first three letters, I could see it happening... but you'd think they'd NOTICE as they pinned it up.

[tsaiko.livejournal.com]

I would agree except for months before hand one of the workers would tell people not to throw away their trash into the trashcans. We think she didn't want to have to empty the cans as often. Then the signs appeared.

It really doesn't make any kind of sense.

[eramundo.livejournal.com]

in that case. I am all kinds of confounded XD.

you have a genuine moment of zen there. :-D
