Random Thoughts XI (Eleven Pipers Piping)

When did putting ice in drinks become a thing? Isn't it pretty much an American thing? Doesn't Europe still usually drink things without ice?

One time when I was maybe 9 or 10, my brother was home from ISU and asked me to go and get him a beer. I went to the kitchen, got out a glass, filled it with ice and then dumped his beer in it.

When I handed him the glass, he just looked at me with complete and total disappointment.

I never knew my brother was European

This is funny. The complaints you guys are making about video games, phones and all are word-for-word the same complaints people had when paper became a widely-used European item.

People will be fine. Just learn to adapt to a changing world.

I don't think paper ever caused a drop in testosterone levels, though.

They probably don't use ice in Europe. They mostly live in castles or mud huts and they're too busy fighting dragons all the time too worry about things like the temperature of their drinks.

You left out "dying from plagues". I'm pretty sure 80% of their population still dies every year.

Man, do times ever change. When I used to date I never stared at phones while on dates. I used to stare at cleavage.

Back when you still dated women didn't expose any cleavage in day to day or even date clothes. Just sayin'.

Still find the amount of boobage exposed at work by some of the gals to be a little inappropes for work. I mean, fine for anywhere else.

The real reason teens are waiting longer to have sex. Phones.

Whenever I drive on or near campus, I marvel that more kids aren't run down since they cross the street without looking with their noses in their phones. One of sons knew the kid that was on the video of the police chase and shooting on central campus a few years ago where this kid was crossing street near Carver with his nose in his phone is nearly run down. May need pedestrian bridges everywhere to avoid carnage.

Teenage girl hit a friend's parked car while driving in town while juggling make-up, phone, and a taco. Grand trifecta.

It's only going to get worse here soon on RTT. With your wife due soon we can look forward to yet another round of the RTT gals talking baby birthin' and mocking us guys as pain and comfort amateurs.

At tennis the other night, I was sitting next to my FIL's girlfriend. One of the girls on the court got hurt and her response was, "She'll be fine. She won't know real pain until she gives birth"

I responded to her with, "You women have it so easy. You give birth to a tiny, little baby and sit in a hospital getting all your needs tended to by a nurse for a couple of days."

I could hear the lady sitting on the other side of my FIL gasp and sigh.

Uh, you're retired. What ladies do you have over there at the homestead?

Let's not act like distracted driving is a new thing though. If not phones, back in the day people would be eating, doing makeup, reading books, whooping their kids in the backseat and plenty of other things while driving.

You're right (they only exposed cleavage if it was a fancy date). I guess I should have stated that I was staring at what I imagined their cleavage to be.

Wasn't one of the great joys of early dates checking out the girl's butt as she walked to the bathroom? With men looking at their phones all the time, they're really missing out.

Please tell me the girl is OK so that I can mark that as funny.

It's always been a problem and women are bad enough drivers without any additional distractions.

Had this discussion with husband at CyHawk game. It's an 11:00 am game and kind of freaking cold tailgating, and all these women wearing less than we used to wear to go to parties or bars at night.

Our boys were walking ahead of us and there is this teetering Hawk gal with this sort of tank top on that is really loose with big armholes and a see through black lace bra underneath, with Daisy Dukes up her hoochie. And of course, she's built like Tongamoa.

One son elbows, points, and says, "You just can't unsee these things."

My daughter had to finish up an algebra class as a prerequisite to nursing school. She used her phone. She'd take pics of the problems and message them to me. She'll make a super nurse, but a lousy mathmatician.

Yep. Danger of having house near the high school though. Friend was out weeding her hostas at the time. Teenage girl was crying hysterically though. She thought what threw her over the top was reaching for the taco.

Had a guy pass me one morning a few years back, reading the newspaper. It was a WDM cop.

Anyone notice after I rounded up 5 people for the game, @BoxsterCy has gone silent about it?

Probably had to run to the store to pick up more pop

All talk, no action.

He's distracted by all the lady's cleavage hanging around his house.
