Bladder control and modern movies

Remember when movies were only one and a half hours long and buying a large drink and popcorn wasn't cause for extended thought? Now that movies are over two hours (some over THREE hours), you better think twice about that two gallon drink and garbage can of popcorn.

Admit it. It's happened to you. Your enjoying the epic movie and just before the two hour mark (when the plot FINALLY kicks in), you begin to get that full feeling down below. No, it's not your wallet, it's your bladder. It's kindly letting you know that unless you would like to squish as you walk out of the theatre, you'd better exchange your beautiful wide screen entertainment scenery for a view that would make a homeless person living underneath I-95 retch. But now you've just missed the best part of the movie. It's guaranteed.

Never fear! Runpee.com is here! (blatant Underdog rip-off)

This website is awesome! Pick a movie, any movie. Runpee.com analyzes the movie for you and let's you know when is the best time to go and pee! OMG! Not only that, pick one of the times they suggest and they'll tell you how long you have to pee without missing something good/important and show you what goes on during your pee break! The text is encrypted so you don't know what happens if you don't want to but a click will descramble the text so that after the movie (or before if you like knowing what happens before you see the movie) and figure out what you missed.



GENIUS!

Then again... you could just wear Depends and enjoy the warmth.

What did you call me?!

So we're discussing an issue at work regarding a situation where one user could see another user's nickname for someone. Imagine you give a nickname in our system to someone that you don't have the highest regard for... "Idiot Sam" would be a polite one. "Shit for Brains" would be more to the point. Imagine if "Sam" saw the nickname you gave him... right. Not good. We could immediately see the lawsuits against us if that sort of thing would happen so we came up with a way around the issue.

But while we were on the topic, we started to get silly (No! Us? Really!) and come up with names that would be very bad if they ever got out... such as ones someone would give their significant other.

Author note: No, my dear, we're not talking about you or JL's wife. I promise! No, really, it was about people in general!!!

So we came up with a quick three nicknames for significant others that would be instant death if it got out. What I want is for you to suggest other names like these to make the definitive list of Instant Death Nicknames. M/M, F/F are also included... hey, if gay couples can get legally married, then they deserve their own Instant Death Nicknames!

Just comment on this post and provide your own suggestions! Here's our starting list:

1. Joy Killer
2. Dream Crusher
3. Soul Sucker

Doesn't have to be two words but let's not write paragraphs. We all could use a little therapy but this isn't a vent session.

Have fun!
