It was crazy!

My condolences to the families of those who died in the accident.

No lie, I've forgotten the original intent of this thread. Lol.(I could scroll to page 1 but...) At this point it doesn't matter, 6 pages of fun.

It's the Watercooler Talk Thread. 
Or the Wine Cooler Talk Thread.

Watercooler talk is those casual, chatty conversations that happen in the office or any social gathering spot, often centered around non-work topics. It's where coworkers discuss everything from the latest TV shows to weekend plans, sharing anecdotes, and bonding over shared interests.

It's the triple P thread:
—No parables or psalms or politics. 

[kevin]

we never did watercoolers back when i wore a tie. we would go out and smoke on the benches in front of the office.

i got rid of almost all my clothes when i left office life and became a commercial beekeeper. i havent owned a necktie in 30 years.

i havent missed a thing

the total eclipse of the sun will be 08 april in ohio. next one is twenty years.

my wife and the remaining at-home offspring both want me to go with them 100 miles north to see it.

i say, i can see most of it without driving 100 miles.

its not the same.

i have to work that monday.

call in sick.

i cant do that. we work on a limited off-day system and im all used up.

youre asocial. youll be dead by the next one . . .

so anyway, today i called my boss and said, look, im supposed to be off the saturday before the monday eclipse. what if i work that saturday and take monday off instead?

hes thinking. chances are good because that saturday is a very busy day in my company and he needs warm bodies.

so i may see the eclipse. if i dont, i will be 88 years old when the next one comes around.

or dead, which will be okay.

I can't keep up with eclipses but I know a major one was in 78 or 79. I was waiting at the bus stop and I peeked. Oops.

My fourth Jiu Jitsu tournament is April 6th and the boy will be there tussling too! I'm so excited and proud. I might post a pic or two but I don't want the ladies here leaving their men after I do. (Or the men leaving their men) My class is Master 5 Blue Belt, 208. His is No-gi, 188.5 Beginner although, he placed 3rd in state his senior year in wrestling. Not a beginner to grappling but... Stay tuned.

No politics so I won't discuss what I think of Inslee. I'm in favor of this even though this is where I hang sometimes. We've jacked-up just about everything and everywhere so why not give this a try?

I'm always puzzled about attitudes towards Wolves yet these same dopes will have 2 Labradors for ducks and a pointer for birds, one Yorkie for their lady at home. Wolves are the coolest creature ever in my opinion. So smart and team players. Gee, there's a concept. Lol.

The similarities are something to see.

Coatepeque Caldera (Nawat: cōātepēc, "at the snake hill") is a volcanic  caldera in El Salvador in Central America. The caldera was formed during a series of rhyolitic explosive eruptions between about 72,000 and 57,000 years ago.

Oooh! Triplets.


Taal.

I'm sure there are others like that. Big old volcanoes filled with water.

Yes, but what makes these three special is that "island" or land formation inside of them.
I didn't know there were so many.

Vulcan Point has the distinction of being among the world's largest Islands in a lake on an island in a lake on an island!

I'm an idiot for not ever visiting Crater Lake in Oregon. So cool. 😎

[kevin]

those are all calderas. large volcanoes that blew out and left a large hole. subsequent activity produces the smaller cone in tbe middle of the hole.

krakatoa was another. it blew completely apart

Yeah, I recall seeing a few like that but I guess it's kinda rare for there to still be a complete ring? I've seen others but with openings.

[kevin]

if it blows up on land theres no ocean to fill the cracks. taal is inland, and so its a lake, not a seaway.

at taal, there used to be a restaurant up on the rim, where you could stuff youirself with ice creamed-filled coconuts and look into the crater. dunno what its like now.

lots of people died down inside it in 1965, living on the island.

an island inside the rim of an active volcano is not a good place to live, but go figure. i think there were 1000 peopl ein there? couple hundred died
