Hangout

Potsticker

Is this where all the Crazy Eggheads hangout? If it is sounds like a good place to hang out.

Plenty of crazies here! Welcome aboard

nolaegghead

Yes.  Typically the sane, fact-based, anti-conspiratory eggheads are perceived as crazy by the actual crazy eggheads who think they are sane resulting in perpetuating an up-is-down, down-is-up world-view which can seem confusing unless you charge through the fog by doing actual research through reputable information sources. 

Or something like that. 

But we all like to cook.  So the venn diagram has that sliver as a superset.

Welcome, starchy dumpling that adheres to cooking surfaces!

Welcome. There are a few crazies here, not me though.

And then the buffalo tramples all over it.

Looks like I'm stuck here!

There is a school of thought, in the psychopath arena, that says if you have worries about being one, you probably are not.  The converse is also thought true, but I believe it is to a lesser degree.

Lots of great people here.

I just googled: "if you are concerned you are nuts how likely are you to be nuts" and I got a ton of info on peanut allergies.  So I think you are probably right.

Google the converse and get peanut recipes.

What does it say about a person who is not entirely sure on which side of the fence that they reside?

Just hang out for a bit. It will become clearer.  Gotta go, Elvis and I are cooking wings tonight.

Hang around a few minutes. It won’t take you long.

Sea2Ski

....probably figured out a few already. 

Potsticker

Yep!

Foghorn

Some of us keep our crazy to ourselves the vast majority of the time.

Then on rare occasions the stars align and we let our freak flags fly.

Or maybe that's when we're being normal.

I really don't know any more.

Potsticker

My wife said I'm Crazy...So there for I am.

Welcome aboard and enjoy the journey.  Above all, have fun.
There are many who will address how to appreciate this forum and its many attributes.  I am not one of them (don't have the skill-set to wrestle with that one). But the dynamics do ebb and flow so what you get in a few hour stretch will be quite different a few hours on.  All in good fun.

Potsticker

Thanks for the welcome aboard, I salute the Quarter Deck. 

lousubcap

@Potsticker - Serve in the USN?  Quarterdeck is not a word used here (or anywhere for that matter) as a random term.  Either that or enjoying too much fun on sea going craft.   
Should you feel comfortable please add your general location to your signature option as that does help frame some regional conversations.

USS Washtenaw CTY LST-1166, USS Alamo LSD-33, NAVCOM STA NEA MAKRI, Greece. Haze gray and underway!

Crazy? I was at a thing we call Butt Blast. The area around my camping spot and some others camping close by, who are members of this forum, swore me to secrecy for fear that they may be identified as the type of person I am.

We had a bonfire on the closing night, everybody was hanging out. Then suddenly the sanest, of most of us, thought;  To have a bonfire that we all will remember, (and we do and will), decided to put about 5 gallons of cooking oil in the fire pit.

That was as impressive as it was frightening. The fire tower located 3 counties away, saw it. Folks scattered, the heat was felt at the campsite on the road opposite our campsite, and I still paying for an RV awning which scorched the fabric, but melted the gears in the hardware.

During this pagan ritual, a dude from Houston was caught on film getting the last of the Bourbon Slushie, poured into his mouth from a dude in Tennessee that drives a suv that smells like crawfish that has been cooked but left in a car for like 5 days.

Of course this followed a day of people being evicted, security forces out snd about, and this fest had the police called on us for stealing picnic tables.

I am sure there was a sober breath drawn, but not after some ãsshole walked around with food saver bags full of bourbon slushees,  pouring a touch or two, to anyone holding out a cup. He spilled that shît everywhere. We actually lost a soul, but found him lying under an RV. 

I have volumes more, but will never make it 5 minutes on this forum, without being stomped down by the Buffalo. 

I have heard those that facilitate “Burning Man”  have reached out to the officers of “Butt Blast” on how to throw a party.

Oh yeah, these Butt Blasts were done for charity too. Many guilty parties involved for making life a little bit for folks that could use it.

They were all crazy. Not me. I wore my foil lined colander anti brainwave reading MAGA helmet on throughout. I saved them all from chela, the dark night overlord, because he was communicating with those that operated the Jewish fire lasers, and I intercepted through my ray ban wayfarers. Not every hero wears a cape. (It clashes with my Edwardian style, specifically with my MAGA hat and suspenders attached to my belt)

they cra cra.
