    Hubby and The Chicken...

    He dislikes white meat - alot. He only wants dark meat but he likes wings.

    I had two small whole chickens. I separated the pieces after they were cooked.

    I put thighs and drumsticks in one container, then breasts and wings in another.

    Hubby goes to the refrigerator, gets some chicken and has it for dinner = no problem.

    The next night, he's in the kitchen bitching and raising hell, telling me to never buy chicken like that again...he hates having to squish it and pull it off little bones...blah, blah, blah.

    I'm trying real hard to understand the difference in chicken that I separated after I cooked it vs. chicken separated by a butcher before I cooked it.

    Finally, he stomps off with chicken for the second night and eats it.

    I go in to make myself a chicken quesadilla. I get out the container with the white meat. Meanwhile, he comes in asking for some chicken for the kitten. I tell him I'll get some white meat for it while I'm getting mine.

    I open the container and he says "I'm seeing wings in there".

    "Yeah. That's what I'm going to give the kitten."

    "Why are there wings in the white meat container?"

    "Um because they are in there with the breats...duh."

    He keeps going on about it until I ask him were there not drumsticks in the container with the thighs he's been eating.

    "No. There were wings in with the thighs".

    "Whatever".

    He takes the kitten back to his room to feed her and I finally start to get the chicken breast out for myself.

    There were no chicken breasts left...huh...weird.

    I look in the dark meat container and it's untouched.

    I go and ask him about why he ate the breasts when he hates them.

    He tells me that he didn't - that he ate the thighs that were in with the other dark meat.

    I'm like "Dude. Were there drumsticks in the container when you got you 'thighs' out?"

    "No! There were wings but I didn't eat them."

    I had to get the dark meat container out and prove that he hadn't eaten thighs, nor drumsticks, nor anything dark, lol. He'd eaten the breasts assuming they were in the container with the "other dark meat = the wings".

    And he wonders why I have so many headaches.

    Yay, we got lots of positive feedback from our broadcast yesterday. We might even strike a deal with a sports bar that streams live gaming on their screens and eRacing series. :) now we can start getting paid.

    I also got head hunted last night by Purnell. He wants me to join his team. He wants a driver capable enough to compete in the NASCAR Peak Anti-Freeze series. He know I can do it.

    I declined though, too much pressure, plus I don't think my internet is strong enough to for the American servers. I don't want to be lagging in a race championship that's worth $10,000. It's not fair if I start having "mechanical" issues.

    The Matrix was truly a ground breaking film and left us all wondering whether we live in a simulation generated by an all-powerful computer

    :mad:

    Skunks sprayed near my cabin. The entry way smells awful, and the smell worked it’s way throughout this 500sqft cabin very quick. I went to town for some Lysol spray and a scented candle. It’s sorta working but not really

    Ran over a skunk once lying on the road with my car.

    It was already dead so I figured what the heck, worst mistake I ever made, it took three weeks for the odor to finally dissipate

    Which one was that? :p

    I probably wouldn't have taken any pill that a stranger offered me tbh.

    When a random dude you met online, who is bigger than you, dressed in a trench coat, meets you in a deserted warehouse and offers you a red and a blue pill. You’d be a fucking idiot to take either one.

    That was the one that nullifies your knowledge of the Matrix so you essentially remain continuously programmed by the machines.

    I believe the movie insinutates taking no pill would be more or less the same.

    But Morpheus and them had just saved Neo, so the pill was to nullify that experience, it wasn't just arbitrarily offered to him.

    The one thing I found irritating after the movie was released were all the action moves that tried to incorporate this freeze in the air, dodge bullets, slow motion fluff. Like yeah sure it worked in the Matrix, but I didn't really like it in other movies.

    Yeah I know how the movie went. I always just thought it odd that if this movie were in a realistic scenario: A big black dude you met on the internet, calls himself Morpheus, takes you to an abandoned warehouse, and gives you some pills. Seems like a really sketchy date rape scenario to me.

    But if the warehouse was a rave, festival, or concert. Yeah I’ve taken pills offered to me by stranger characters there :D

    Wasn't there a concert going on lol? I remember Rob Zombie remix playing in the back ground, but that might have been after he followed the white rabbit.

    I initially saw The Matrix for it's special effects and action but When I re-watched the Matrix a few years ago, I primarily gravitated toward it philosophical implications.

    Seeing academics on TED talks discuss Simulation Theory or even the rise of virtual and augmented reality, The Matrix can probably be seen as prophetic in a sense, even if mostly construed as metaphor.
