I don't know how to make paint. :(
Paint is made by mixing a pigment, such as white lead or cadmium, or ocher, with an emulsion such as linseed oil or egg yolk, or tree sap. -

I don't like anything that's soggy or slimy or slippery to be in my mouth. I don't know why, that's just how it is.
I'm that way about a lot of things - I don't eat fish, or eggs, or mushrooms, for example; but I love Cajun boiled peanuts. They are one of the best Southern foods. -

THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"MMM mmmmm mom please pass the sour, fermented, flatulence inducing cabbage please!" "And the Ovaltine!" "And the boiled peanuts!"
I'm not a fan of sauerkraut or Ovaltine, but nothing tastes better than the Vidalia Peanut Company's Cajun boiled peanuts fresh from the crockpot.

Black is the absence of color. White is the presence of all colors.
Try making White paint by mixing all different colors of pigments.
Try making black paint without any pigments. -
2015-08-13 at 5:05 PM UTC in Public Schools are filthy breeding grounds of germs and sickness
You guys must have weak immune systems. I only legitimately got sick once when I was a kid. All the other times I was faking it.
My youngest son gets sick easier than my two older children did. His mother gets sick easily, so he may have inherited her immune system, although last year I got sick after my son caught something and it knocked me on my ass for days, took weeks to completely get over.
I'm just hoping that he got it out of his system last night. He hasn't thrown up any so far today, since he woke back up; of course he hasn't eaten anything yet either, so that will be the real test. -

Anyway, the fuck you doing ordering 200 dollar book stands when you wouldn't even shell out to get a - what was it? - sink for your bathroom? And if you haven't bought a book in ages, why do you need a new book stand? Seems a little odd to me considering your confessed cheap mentality and lack of excess financial resources. Have you been LYING to us, Johnny?
It's a matter of principles, priories and aesthetics.
I did buy myself a new bathroom sink earlier this year, after it went on sale. Got it for $225, where previously it had been listed for $450. Got the faucet at a discount too.
As for the bookstand, that was an indulgence. I have been looking for one for a long time to use to display a rather large and expensive book on, and I finally found a bookstand that I liked. I am just pissed off that I didn't get it for the lowest price, I could have saved $25 if I had known who the maker was before I ordered it; unfortunately the sellers that I came across on ebay and on Google didn't mention the manufacturer's name, so I wasn't able to find it at the bottom price, which is what I like to pay whenever possible.
Anyway, here is the bookstand:
And here is the book that I bought the stand for:

2015-08-13 at 11:12 AM UTC in Public Schools are filthy breeding grounds of germs and sicknessI took my son to the school he will be attending yesterday to talk with the principle for a few minutes. We sat in the office and the school was basically empty, no students around since it the school year doesn't start until next week. But lo and behold, my son wakes up at 3:00 AM this morning puking his guts out.
I know that it's because of germs he picked up from that brief visit to the school - it is filled with some sort of virulent strain of virus, because he came down sick like that a lot last year, especially after going back to school following summer break and Christmas break. That fucking place needs to be fumigated or something. And it's a mostly White school, hardly any blacks and only a few Hispanics.

Clinton is not stupid. The Kartrashians have A LOT of followers. Votes are votes.
People who watch/fawn over the Kardashians shouldn't be allowed to vote. -

Wow…I totally missed the stand part…lol..My bad
I haven't bought a book in years. My house is full of them, but most of them were acquired in the 1980s and 1990s before I got on the internet.
Before the internet, books were my primary source of information and a major source of my entertainment. -

I'm usually known as crazy mike
I just use different names all the time, usually just whatever comes to mind at the time.
Yeah, well, I didn't think you were actually Arthur Treacher; I'm pretty sure that guy is dead.
I think I vaguely remember an Arthur Treacher's fish and chips restaurant that once stood not far from a Shoney's Big Boy Restaurant (also long since gone) along U.S. Hwy II in West End, in Birmingham, Alabama. I never ate there, but I remember the restaurant had a sign of a British guy in a bowler hat holding an umbrella on it. This would have been in the early 1970s. -

When searching for books i always use dealoz.com. It compares new and used book prices on TONS of different sites–including ebay and amazon. Easiest way to find the cheapest option. Amazon wins 7out10 times.
Yeah, but I was shopping for a bookstand to put a book on, not shopping for a book. -

There are seven planets - Iron John
Hey, I'm not the one that came up with this stuff; it's been around for a lot longer than I have. -
2015-08-13 at 8:19 AM UTC in color
air is white. fire is always red and water is always blue. sometimes earth is brown.
i didn't know there are 7 planets, and that the moon and the sun are 2 of them
This is "magical" stuff from the Middle Ages - think alchemy and sorcery. -
2015-08-13 at 1:24 AM UTC in I fucking love sauerkraut
yeah I do the same, But I've heard of some people "rinsing" the saurkraut.. seems like it defeats the purpose of eating saurkruat
I drain the juice off of kraut if I am eating it cold, like on a hotdog or a Reuben sandwich; but if cooking it, it needs some juice to keep it from getting dried out. -
2015-08-13 at 1:22 AM UTC in Walmart wises up, now selling men's stretch pants that fit the fat American physique
yeah they are cool, I have a pair of these
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51f6T0K0%2BBL._SY445_.jpg
That's the kind of waistband I like - so damn comfortable!
The sweatpants version of the ones Walmart is selling has that nice wide elastic waistband, but the ones on the chino fabric ones have a regular elastic waistband with a drawstring.
Either is better than jeans for me - I hate how stiff and uncomfortble jeans are. -

Black isn't a color. -_-

Yeah, this kind of stuff. It is endlessly fascinating.
It is interesting.
The Serpent in the Garden of Eden is the same as Vritra in Vedic Brahminism, and is the same as Nidhoggr in Germanic/Norse mythology; the same as the Hydra and Ladon in Greek mythology, and the same as Illuyanka in Hittite mythology . The mythology of the Gallic tribes also seems to have once had a now-forgotten legend of a serpent that was defeated by a god, as evidenced by the Smertrios panel on the Nautes pillar in Paris, which is modeled after Hercules slaying Ladon:

You have the mentality of the jedi. Perhaps the reason you hate them is because you see so much of yourself in them, the parts you hate the most and wish to keep hidden, refuse to accept.
I'm of Scottish descent.
The Scots are notorious for their thrift and frugality.

well, anyone who is interested, not necessarily you, IJ. I assume that you don't have the time or inclination to tackle a book that is like three tolkein novels put together in length

its been a while since I read any of this stuff, but supposedly there are some very good reasons why people believe some of the things that they believe, but all the old learning was couched in symbolism and ritual, and over the ages, the original meaning was corrupted, and the old sciences and methods are now forever lost to history. implications of hints of lost, forgotten high civilizations, and their memories echoed in the stories of gods embodying concepts and ideals, that sort of thing is compelling to me.
The Aryan-European mythos (along with the earliest roots of what later evolved into Semitic religious myths) is very old indeed, it goes back thousands of years, and one can see how each culture's myths evolved from a shared common origin - what some would call the Kurgan culture of the Pontic Steppes.
The Titans and the Olympians have their counterparts in the Fomorians and Danaans of Gaelic mythology; the Jontar, the Vanir and the Aesir of the Germanic/Norse myrthology; the Devas and the Asuras of Vedic mythology; and the Niphilim and Seraphim (or Bene Elohim) of Semitic mythology.
