Why don't they make micropigs for eating? Throughout the centuries we've bread animals to be big for more meat.
I propose we change that, make them small, and you can have a whole one each.... what do you think of that?

In the same vein
why don't they make chickens the size of pigs?

It's easier to make something small, you just keep them in a cardboard box for a few generations.
Making them big though is harder, involves lots of stretching and all that.

Hello B3th, how are you today? I saw on your facebook pictures that you're very pretty, I hope you don't mind me saying so.

Good afternoon Gonz.
I am majorly grumpy today, as people and circumstances are conspiring to piss me right the fuck off.
However, people saying nice things about me is always welcome.

Plus the weather, I'd imagine, makes people grumpy if they're indoors.
I got a good trick, if you wet a tea-towel and ring it out and then lay on that (or even get two and put one above your forehead, you lose/gain about 80% of your body heat through your head), it makes you nice and cool without getting your bedding wet.

The weather definitely isn't helping
but it was mostly Computers for the Terrified this morning that pissed me off.

Now I have had food, and I am watching the tennis. Andy Murray appears not to be Scottish today, in that he is actually winning.

Is this the reason for your earlier post
about still believing in the essential goodness of humanity despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary?

No
that was just the fact that everyone seems to end up being a right cunt to me, while I keep on and on believing that they won't be.

I hate it when people are like that.
I act like a cunt straight off. That way nobody gets hurt.

I'm not really capable of that
on account of being completely pathetic, and nice.

Ahh, that's quite cool, I was going to start a buisness doing that, called "Local Geek For Hire".
Where I'd help people learn to use their computers/technology, things like help advise them on how to get a new telly system or whatever, and then set it up and use it. I'm actually really good at it, can speak in non-geek and similaries and all that.... Helped Ma' and a few of her friends on how to email/skype/online banking/cinema times/facebook/photo stuff...etc.

In my experience it's not jargon that confuses people.
It's the fact that they're dribbling imbeciles.

It really isn't at all.
A computer has far more combinations of buttons and things to do than any other device, by a factor of millions. A car has two configerations generally (automatic/manual), in each one of these, it's the sameish no matter what the make/model. Clutch/Accelerator/Break/Wheel/Indicators is always the same.

A windows computer differs, to someone who doesn't know them, so much more. A Windows PC from Toshiba or IBM has different software installed, with different icons, and different things. OK, sure, there are similarties, such as 'file/edit/view' is always the same, except even that these days is hidden by default.

That's why I would recomend Apple for someone not used to computers, except for budget.

Feet in a bucket of cold water.
Works a treat. Also run the cold tap on the pulse points of your wrists. This cools you down too.

Oh yes.
When we move into the new place in a few months, I'm hoping it's still nice and hot and we'll be sipping cocktails in my little garden-space with a kid's paddling pool and OH GOOD ITS SO EXCITING.

They could call them....oh, I don't know....'piglets' or something.

Or "pigmies"

or Bacon Bites.

I thought micropigs grew to be the size of a dog?
that's not very "micro" to me

Depends on the dog
Natalie Cassidy is fucking massive
