Speaking of mustaches...
Back in the 90s my crazy asian girlfriend decided to cut off her hair one night when we were hanging out with my best friend. Naturally, I decided to pull out the glue gun and make myself a Fu Manchu mustache that fell to my clavicle (it only stung a little, twice). Seeing that it stuck, homie did the same. Then the three of us headed out into the night. We took a cab to our destination, when the driver tried to make small talk my mythomaniac girl told the driver we didn't speak the language (it was a surprise to us all). The driver was dead silent while we were laughing our asses off during the whole ride. We were all completely sober. Good times!
- damn thought you said nymphomaniac and we were going to get the second volume of "so I'm dating a pro" but funny story none the less :)_niko

I am going to be kind and non-confrontational for an entire week, both on the internet and real life.
Now lob insults and political views while downvoting this to infinity to test my resolve.
- Challenge accepted.palimpsest
- Hypothetical situation: grafician posts in the sidenotes to this post.
How do you react?Continuity - LOL
Calling in the big guns!palimpsest - He did say to test his resolve! :DContinuity

- What are your thoughts on digestion and chewing food?shapesalad
- Tomatoes, calculators & chewing food.palimpsest
- You forgot not-human humans.Continuity
- I've already weighed in on chewing food. I had my jaw wired shut when I was a kid, chugged pepperoni pizza smoothies.garbage
- Much prefer chewing, tomatoes are great for eating and throwing (not this week). Calculators are fine for math and throwing (not this week).garbage
- Here's an idea, you should nominate someone at the end of your nice week and that fucker has to be nice for the following week. And so on and so on.palimpsest
- You can't say no because it's your #niceweek.palimpsest
- That's a great idea. Whoever gets closest to getting me tilted gains the weight of the Nice Crown.garbage

- It's Tuesday, have a taco or three!garbage
- You've been confused for grafician?
You're both equal qunts but different flavors.palimpsest - Haha yeah, it's happened in a few threads over the years. Happens when the tips touch, I guess.garbage
- Sorry bro for collateral damage, I have my haters around here, you know thatgrafician
- Why would anyone hate you, grafician?palimpsest
- There are no enemies, only misunderstandings. #niceweekgarbage
- One can be nice and still maintain their dignity.
You're just being a hypocrite.palimpsest - I'm not being insincere, and I'm not sure what about this makes me a hypocrite? I'm ok with it though, and I hope you're having a good day.garbage

Any examples of well-designed websites that offer workshops and courses given by different instructors?
I'm looking into examples of how the workshop and course programs are presented and structured on a web page and how these are connected to the profile of the instructors.

Just bought a pair of schwalbe tyres, half price.
And last week, tons of isotonic drink and new socks for my "biker costume".
Let's see when I stop rewarding myself for quitting and go out to hit the bike on the road.
* The truth is that it is still cold and better to continue with the roller (I know, excuses).

Not sure it's something cool enough for QBN, but we have a client working on selling garden furniture. They have shit loads of options, almost a bespoke to whatever you need.
After some EXAMPLES OF WEBSITES with a 'build your own' set up. It's more conceptual at the moment, but I feel theyd want a modular system which will eventually lead you to a final set purchase.
Reading that back, not sure it makes total sense, but i'm gonna click post anyway!! Thanks beautiful people :-)
- sort of like those "build your own car" pages on a car website?hans_glib
- maybe. Although in my head I feel like cars are way cooler than garden furniture so missed the connectionIanbolton
- Ughhhh... made some customization websites in Flash (loooong ago...), hope you've got a good budget for itOBBTKN

- Good old Flash! Budget is going to be reasonable and thanks for the link.Ianbolton
- https://tylko.com/
has a decent build-your-own functionality.
It's for shelving units - so equally as exciting as garden furniture ;)microkorg - You select from pre-built templates then customise from there.microkorg
- If I wanted to hire a carpenter I would. Why don't they just make 1 set of very well made, very good design furniture?shapesalad

It's International Women's Day.
Don't forget to buy flowers for your ladies.- Isn't that patronising? "oh you are woman, here... have these dying flowers."shapesalad

In trying to explain to my daughter how muscles work, and why it's not a bad thing that her arms and legs hurt a little after she used them lots today - as long as she eats some eggs to help build things back - i stupidly described the extreme of things and showed her photos of bodybuilders and now I'm worried I might've planted the seed of some weird latent dysmorphia where she grows up wanting to be the Hulk-version of Frozen's Elsa. At least the two franchises are owned by the same corporation, I guess.
She said she wants to look like #4. Oops. Her mother's going to kill me.
- Better get her on creatine monohydrate supplements and whey protein now, then.Continuity
- Why? Her mother looks more like #7?shapesalad

So, you're saying it was easier than, say, quitting smoking or heroin?Continuity - I've got some weird thing about quitting smoking. I started smoking at my first office job for the sole purpose of being able to sit out by the water..garbage
- ..in the corporate park. Probably half a pack a day? I switched to (lol) Black and Milds because they burned slower.garbage
- The second I secured a remote job, I quit cold turkey. I have a pack of Parliaments that's maybe a decade old and still unfinished.garbage
