I Called In Sick Today

[speedz99 145]

Somebody should put together some sort of life trade value rankings. You would trade lives with everybody ahead of you, but nobody below you. Yeah, somebody should do that. Somebody.

I need to think this through.

1. Beans2-10. Everyone else11. Me12. Shake13. StratEdit - Numerical makes it seem much closer than it is. Need a VAR type number. Where's the Mendoza line?

Is the Mendoza line for the straight up swap, or the "I'd rather kill myself" reaction? Although there's nobody with that bad a life around here.

Also, this isn't like some glorified Wife Swap show. We can assume that whichever new family you inherit, you would love that family like your own, etc., etc. In your new life, you wouldn't be thinking, "I sure do miss my friends."

Of course.

Sure, I can see that. But the problem is, there is no better wife on Earth than mine, so I know that no matter who I switch with, I'm not going to be as happy... even if I don't know it.

That's a lie and you know it. There is a wife on Earth better than yours. There just is. Realistically, there is almost 0% chance that your wife is the greatest wife on Earth. Sorry. Maybe there's a woman who's more attractive while still being just as awesome. Or a woman who's as attractive and awesome, but a much better cook. And so on.

Hi my name is Randy

You know this flew over my head, but well, of course you know that.

Mendoza line is old school thinking. What you really want to know is where is the Replacement Life level at? Actually, now that I think about it, I'm not sure how well Replacement Level metrics would work in this case. Maybe we should look at it from an Average Life standpoint. Who has the highest Value Over Average Life in this thread? Because that clearly makes more sense I miss Wang.

I buy most of my produce from a local farmers market and a couple years ago met a really cool guy there Michael who owns Hungry Toad Farms. I heard about a fire that burnt down his barn, storage and work buildings and felt absolutely horrible for him. He is really one of the good guys and grows everything organic (pesticide free) which takes alot more work and often pays less. He is a passionate guy and started a couple local markets, fights to insure rules are followed (despite protests from the local farmers who like to lie and cheat about products) amongst other things. I actually try to be a "locavore" more than a vegan and buy local products as much as possible, preferably organic etc. I am lucky to have some great farmers markets and grocers near me that support them as well. It's guys like him that make it possible. On Friday morning I went out to his farm (which I found on google) and ended up spending the day there helping him out. I set up a meet for the Freethought club on Sunday and got about a dozen people to come help all day yesterday. We are going back next Sunday as well. #bragpost

Quit angling for a high spot on the list, Rando.

It really depends on how you define "value". Is that in terms of value to society, or just a way of quantifying one's own enjoyment of life?Well, whatever, we could have just ended this conversation after Napa's correct ranking.

Someone has to be #1, Speedz. Even though you're being crazy, if we happen to agree with you, and someone somewhere is better, my wife is still top 5%. So just statistically speaking, it would be a terrible trade for me.Randy: did that dude not have insurance? Why is there so much work to do? when I had a fire, State Farm had a company there in like two days hauling stuff away.

[speedz99 145]

Alex, you're so not as sneaky as you think.

Not necessarily. You get to choose who you're trading with...you know if you're trading up to top 1%. I'M SAYING YOUR WIFE SUCKS.

[Dread Aidan 8]

Who is Alex?

[speedz99 145]

Who is Alex?

A friend from school who has been waiting about two years to figure out the URL and screen name for the site where I spend the majority of my time during class instead of paying attention to stuff like equine respiratory surgery.Oh, but I said I wouldn't ruin his fun. So, you know, ignore the above. WORLDS ARE COLLIDING!

Lies.

[Dawson Leery 12]

I like this Speedz98 guy

[speedz99 145]

No, he doesn't have any job prospects for you. Any of you.

He does, but he had 40 years worth of tools and machinery in the barn and the insurance company wants receipts or a list of where he bought the tool, what kind, brand, make and how much he paid for it. He has no pictures of the inside of the barn either to show that he owned it, so we are basically doing an archeological dig sorting through and pulling out any remnants of items to catalogue and picture for insurance purposes. It's a daunting task all around and will be very time consuming for him which sucks.

[Dread Aidan 8]

Still ranks higher than Shake.

[Poppy_Hillis 11]

Will you guys just play the game already.

[BillyPilgrim 1]

i would trade lives with strat because he's been in LG.

[strategy 4]

I'm gonna be honest here, I haven't enjoyed my life for like two or three years now, but I wouldn't trade with anyone. I'm much too proud for that.

[Dread Aidan 8]

I wonder which Sick Thread Freaky Friday would provide the best comedic moments.Also, essay, that post made me both laugh out loud and cringe, so good job by you.

hey thanks. speaking of me being awesome, i had put in a load of laundry, but i forgot about it and the noise from the machine scared me and i thought for a second there was an earthquake and i was about to panic and run under a doorframe. but i realized it was just the washing machine before i did.

You might as well just start sucking dick.

well my mind was wandering thinking about all the hot hetero sex i hope to have someday. WITH A LADY. so you are the one who should commence with the sucking of dude meat.

shit you've gotta be kidding; randy's last on my list. all that dude does is work and run. fuuuck that shiz.

does he know about the men that you sleep with?

Still ranks higher than Shake.

I suppose Wang and I would make for some terrible nonsense if we switched spots. I can't even imagine how quickly he would destroy my whole ex-world. Or Beans and I. His family would probably commit me when I told them I didn't like beer.
