thread killer champions

[tribdog]

Some people seem to be able to make the comment that just ruins a conversation. I've gone back to the last 100 or so really dead threads and counted up how many times each person was the one named as the last poster. Here's my list of PFs best thread killers:
1)with 21- franzneitzche
2)with 15- Moonbear
3)with 12- tribdog
4)with 9-tie-Ivan Seeking and Tsu

Honorable mentions go to:gokul, JasonRox, chrono and mattmns.

[polyb]

Boy, I thought I was bad! Whooo! :rofl:

I guess maybe a race to the bottom of the threads should begin, right about, NOW! :tongue2:

[dextercioby]

If i kill the thread:"Ask a stupid answer,get a stupid question",will i get a prize...??A pink ribbon,maybe...?:tongue2:

franz won't let you kill it until it hits 2000 posts. He's been desperately ressurecting it every time someone rightfully should have killed it.

I dunno whether to post or not?

:rofl: Don't worry, apparently those of us who always have to get in the last word have been outed. :tongue2:

[Gokul43201]

Ooh, an honorable mention !

Now for the snooty, academic part :

Tribdog, your conclusion (ability to kill threads) is not a direct outcome of the evidence (number of last posts). You have to at least factor in the total number of posts by each person (posts in GD) to get a more accurate representation of the killer instinct. Franz and Moonie have so many posts here, they are more likely to be the winning killers. You have to divide the number of kills by the total number of posts during the same period to get a corrected distribution.

[Moonbear]

:rofl:

Now, you also need to factor in the primary cause of death. Just because franz attempts to resurrect dead posts on a nightly basis, it doesn't mean he's the one who killed them. They were long dead before he posted in them. That's like saying the ER doc is the murderer because they couldn't bring a gunshot victim back to life. :biggrin:

[loseyourname]

Dude, you read through the last 100 or so dead threads just to catalogue the final posters? How much free time do you have?

[dextercioby]

If he's got so much time,why doesn't he catalogue the posters with # of posts in the TD subforum,as Greg wanted them not to be added to the indivdual tally...?

Daniel.

[The Bob]

I can't believe I was not mentioned. I make a post and no one says anything at all. Oh well. This thread is dead. :frown:

I've killed a few threads. :frown:

Yeah, but when you kill a thread, you have the powers to hide the evidence. :rofl:

[russ_watters]

:cry: I'm disappointed - as a Reublican, I naturally always want to have the last word and I thought I did a good job of killing threads in the Politics forum.

By the way, how much time do you have on your hands, exactly...?

I thought my name was suspiciously at the end of too many threads.

However, i contend that my rank is solely due to the fact that i post far more than anyone else in here, so of course far more threads would have ended with my posts,thats just simple statistics.

[Moonbear]

:cry: I'm disappointed - as a Reublican, I naturally always want to have the last word and I thought I did a good job of killing threads in the Politics forum.

:rofl: Awww...poor Russ. Sorry to break it to you, but when a Republican says something in a room full of Democrats/liberals, you'll NEVER get the last word. I don't know if tribdog counted the politics subforum in his rankings. Otherwise, I'd probably be much lower on the list given the limited number of posts I have in Politics.

Of course, another way I could choose to interpret the results are that some of us are just incredibly adept at so fully resolving an issue that once we speak, there is no room left for any more debate. *awaits tomatoes being thrown: I really wanted to make some salsa anyway* :biggrin:

[Evo]

Watch it tribdog, or i'll stompin' on your tail. :grumpy: :devil: :grumpy:

[JasonRox]

You know what I hate...

Long threads that you missed from the beginning. If you choose to read all the posts, you realize 90% of the posts have nothing to do with the topic. If they do relate to the topic, then all the posts are really long and take a million hours to finish.

[dextercioby]

P.S.Now he won't post in this thread as not to add another "prey" to "collection"...:tongue2:

Darn. Oh well, i'll have to settle for posting a hundred times more than everyone else.

[russ_watters]

Locking threads should not count. I don't know about that - when Zero was a mentor (and I wasn't), I purposely got threads I didn't like locked in the Politics forum (though, admittedly, he usually took the opportunity to get the last word...). :rofl: Its the same as saying something people won't respond to - just more effective and final.

[Artman]

Muaaaaaa! They don't suspect me! They think it's franznietzsche, but it is really me. Muaaaaaa! :devil:

I lurk in the anonymous recesses of the internet, watching and waiting for my moment to pounce. I log in, post my response, and I sit and quietly watch as the thread whithers and dies away. In a matter of hours it's over. :devil:

Oh, one or two others, franznietzsche for example, may come along and try to breath life back into it, but it is dead alright. And no amount of clever chatter can save it. Muaaaaa! :devil:

And I didn't even make the "also ran" list! :devil:

[franznietzsche]

What are you talking about?

[Moonbear]

Nice try franz, this one's mine! Muwahahahahaha! :devil:

[Artman]

See. Weak attempts at resuscitation, but it's dead. :devil:

(Actually I looked back and franz does have a lot of kills to his credit. The Doctor Kevorkian of PF. He just sneaks in and puts the threads to sleep.)

Au contrair, i resurrect long dead ones, but without the help of the local medical establishment i can't keep them alive. Alas, i am a failed Dr Frankenstein it would seem.

[Integral]

Does it count as a thread kill when I make a comment, then lock the thread?

[Artman]

Does it count as a thread kill when I make a comment, then lock the thread?That's thread execution. We just have to assume the death penalty is justified.

[Moonbear]

Does it count as a thread kill when I make a comment, then lock the thread?

Nope, it's cheating if you lock the thread, so we can't count that. If we started counting locked threads, tribdog would be pretty busy counting that sea of corpses over in TD.

Yeah, but it would be easier in TD, because there the threads are all stillborn, its the thread posters who kill them.

Nope it will go to me, because i'll post in it at about 3 Am, and then post in enough threads after it to put it 3 pages back. Then you'll never find it, and i will win.

Wow cool, a new party, where can I sign the sign-up sheet? Can I make up a party song for us? "Hail, we are the mighty Reublicans", what should our party animal be? do you like platypuses?

Anyway we have a lot to decide, who should run as the vp and president in 08? Don't worry we still have a long time and for you Dems and Repubs, make way for the Reublicans.

Aaack!!! *grabs thread and runs far far far from Artman* Neener neener! :tongue2:You should not have run out of sight of me. Haven't you ever seen those stalker type horror movies, when the girl foolishly runs away from the murderer (thread killer) only to find that when he disappeared from her sight, he snuck up on her from the other direction and...


AHHHHH!!!!! He leaps from the bushes and grabs the thread ripping it into tiny shreads! Muaaaaaa! :devil: :devil: :devil:

[arildno]

I've never seen such horror movies.
In those movies I've seen, the foolish girl always runs into the bathroom or basement where she ought to have known she can't escape from (but that's why she's foolish, I suppose).
Her survival depends upon whether she is pretty or not.

[Artman]

EDIT: whether she survives or not, depends upon whether she is pretty or not.But she isn't in time to save the thread. Artman drags the lifeless body of the thread to his lair, a dilapidated cabin deep in the woods, where he places the carcass on the "altar" he's constructed out of threads that he has dragged the life out of in the past. :yuck: He lights another candle and sits in his hockey mask waiting for some hapless fool to come along.

[Tsu]

*jumps over coffee table and knocks over lamp lunging for Artman* Hey! Give it back! It's MY dead thread. :tongue:

FIGHT!!!!!!!11111 :surprised :rofl: :rofl:

[Gokul43201]

<hapless fool> Ooh, what's this dilapidated cabin in the woods ? <walking in, looking for soup> Aw crap ! All it's got is this stupid altar constucted out of threads that have had their lives dragged out of them in the past. Wait a minute ...is that Wayne Gretzky by the scented cand-AAAAARGH :surprised.

[Artman]

AAAARGGHHH!Artman screams, "Mother what have you done to GoKul and Tsu?"

[Monique]

:uhh: :confused:

[Artman]

Artman, now wearing an old lady's floor length nightgown, a hockey mask, and a pair of high healed pumps, drags the unconscious bodies (he doesn't kill people, just threads) of Tsu and Gokul over next to the altar, where he ties them up, gags them and puts lipstick on their faces (not a nice shade but a tacky red that doesn't go with their outfits).

He returns to his rocking chair and waits for another victim... :devil: :devil: :devil:

Oops too slow. He puts monique over there too.

[Moonbear]

Hearing the commotion inside, Moonbear quickly checks the clip on her sig sauer and creeps to the door. She peeks through the knothole in the door and sees Tsu, Gokul and Monique unconscious on the floor, guarded by the madman wearing a hockey mask. In one swift motion, she crashes down the door to the cabin thankful that doors in horror films are always easier to break down than real doors, and takes careful aim at the madman's third shirt button.

"Back off!" She commands him, waving him toward the corner of the room. "Down on the floor...NOW!" Having faithfully watching the A-Team and MacGuyver while growing up, she is prepared with the required duct tape and handily binds and gags Artman, who is revealed when she yanks off his mask. She picks up the thread, tucks it in her inside jacket pocket and walks over to Tsu, Gokul and Monique. Keeping an eye on Artman, ready to blast off his kneecaps if he makes any sudden moves toward her or the thread, she swiftly unties the rest of the group, and instructs them, "Get on out of here! Don't look back, I've got everything under control."

[Artman]

However, the groggy Monique, who just happened to stumble into the thread, was unaware that Artman was actually the dreaded thread cereal killer. She woke to see Moonbear tying poor Artman up and suspected that she had attacked her as well.

So when she was released from her bonds, she jumped moonbear and tied her up, and then she went over and freed Artman.

[Moonbear]

But the hapless Artman, in his glee over being freed by his own captive, forgot to take the thread with him as he ran out with Monique. Moonbear still had the thread, but was left lying tied up on the floor. She started looking around and thinking to herself, "What would MacGuyver do?" Then she spotted it, the scented candle on the altar. She wriggled herself over to the altar and started to bump against it. Being a horror film, she was sure this would work. Sure enough, after one more bump, the candle tumbled to the floor, neither extinguishing itself nor setting ablaze the cloth covering the altar. She scoots around so her back is to the flame, and holds the ropes over it. She winces as she gets her hand a bit too close to the flame, readjusts her position, and thankful they used natural fiber rather than nylon rope, she quickly gets the rope burnt off, breaking it and freeing herself just before the flame on the rope spreads to her wrists. Of course, NOW the cloth on the altar catches on fire and the entire cabin is rapidly engulfed in flames as Moonbear hurriedly unties her ankles and runs out the door only moments before the entire cabin collapses.

[franznietzsche]

FIGHT!!!!!!!11111 :surprised :rofl: :rofl:


MY dead thread people..

Look waht happens, i run off to a meeting on astrophysics, try to get something productive done, and already you're trying to usurp me?

I'm hurt.

Meanwhile, Monique is beginning to wonder about why Artman is wearing a tacky old lady nightgown and high healed pumps. And she stops running, causing Artman to turn and see the cabin engulfed in flames.

(Oh gosh, this is getting freaky even for me.) :yuck:

Anyway, he rushes back mainly because he doesn't want all those dead threads to get hot again.

Being a horror movie, he walks into the burning cabin (the thread killer can't die, who'd do the sequel?) And grabs the smoldering thread.

[Moonbear]

AAAAGHHHHH!!!!! Get TSU & Gokul out of the burning cabin!!!!! :surprised

:confused: What happened?? Did they run back in after I told them to leave? Noooo!!!! :cry:

Oh, wait, it looks like the fireproof altar fell on top of them and protected them from the building collapse (it was just the cloth covering it that was flammable). I see them crawling out from under there now. They're okay, they're okay!!! :smile:

That's because none of us has a clue what aftershock is. :confused:

Now, I've lost track...who has the thread?

Aftershock is 80 proof liquour. That's 40% alcohol, 20% sugar, 10%cinammon, 10%other liquid stuff. Or thats what it tastes like. The great thing with it is that if you leave it out, it solidifies into crystals, which you eat, and still get "drunk". Great great stuff.

And i have the thread, it is mine.

What the heck is in the "other stuff" if you're still getting drunk after the alcohol evaporates? That just sounds nasty. You're not going to lure anyone into the back of the bus with you with that crud. :yuck:

No thats the point, the alcohol doesn't evaporate, it just stays in the crystals. Great stuff. And i've got a whole bottle for the upcoming party weekend. :tongue2:

That doesn't make any sense at all. If the water evaporates, the alcohol would evaporate first. Methinks you're just getting a good sugar rush.

I don't think anything actually evaporates it just solidifies. It still does it with the bottle closed. It weird stuff. Of course, you could be right and it might just be that by the time we're eating the stuff we're already quite wasted anyway.

Hey franz, I just posted a brain teaser and I used your name in it. Everyone else should try it. I think that, for you franz, the teaser should be to see if you can find it.

and while Tsu and Moonbear discuss..

YOINK!
*grabs thread AND electroejaculator*

[Gokul43201]

Hey MIH,

While you playing with that long, buzzing toy, I think I'll help myself to this little stringy thingy.

<Hmmm...she didn't hear me !! That toy she's splaying with must really be something !>

[Moonbear]

:surprised You might have wanted to "yoink" that electroejaculator a little more gently. Poor franz will never be the same again. :blushing:

I better restrategize here. I wasn't too worried while the boys were fighting over the thread, I know I've got more stamina than all those young pups, but my sisters are real scrappers. Now it's going to have to get rough! :devil:

*Grabs thread and ducks behind large boulder for cover.*

[Gokul43201]

Moonbear, she never had the thread. You must've grabbed her flaying noodle !

Ooh, just noticed a typo in my previous post. Honestly, that was a typo. :redface:

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That stringy thingy wasn't the thread! :blushing: Us sisters stick together and play a mean passing game! :tongue:

[Math Is Hard]

so then who really HAS the thread? Maybe it's all in the concept of "having" or in the concept of "threadness". If I believe I have the thread, or if I am experiencing a "thread-having" sensation, then I must actually have it.

Please consider my proof that relativity is wrong. It came to me in a dream last night, and the fact that it has been rejected by all the journals that I sent it to proves that I have stumbled upon something too shocking for the physics community.

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2
This implies that any object is allowed to have only half of its energy. The other have is virtual energy. Virtual energy can be annihilated by virtual anti-energy producing mass. This virtual anti-energy is what gives rise to vacuum polarization.

ON a similar note, i just spent 4.5 hours defining 14.41 million array elements for a solar convection model we've been working on. I was surprised i finished so soon, i was expecting it to take more like 7-8 hours. Yay.

This was a brilliant attempt. Bore it to death! Suck it's brains out! I love this!

It's diabolical. A mad scientist thread killer. I can picture it in my head, a Gothic castle, damp walls, steep winding stairs leading to a dark laboratory in
the attic. We enter and see the thread lying strapped to a table, the evil scientist bending over it preparing to remove it's life force yet try and hold it for his own. Sparks are flying everywhere (I think that's because of the electroejaculator in his other hand)...

...How appropoe (sp?) for a Physics forum, but you shall not succeed in your effort to enihalate this thread. I cut the bands that were holding it to the table.

Ha Ha! It's mine again!!!

[Artman]

By the way, I also got the electroejaculator.

So with the thread in one hand and the electroejaculator in the other, I beat the raging beast into submission.

The, uh, thread I mean.

[Andy]

But if i say **** **** ******* when a mentor is about they should lock the thread and i would have killed it, is that right? I'm surprised nobody has thought of that yet.

You don't want a mentor to close the thread. Evo cheats. She locks the thread THEN sneaks in the last word and steals it for herself.

Why would you pull it out of a rhino's rectum? i stashed it there for safe keeping and you took it anyway?

Now that is dedication.

[Moonbear]

Meanwhile, Moonbear is out walking along the docks, hoping to pick up a sailor, when she hears a thread-like whimper coming from a houseboat and realizes she has stumbled upon Artman's newest hiding place. She looks around, searching for something to use as a weapon (she isn't carrying her sig sauer because there's just no place to hide a holster under the outfit she's wearing, and marching around docks with a weapon seems to scare off those sailors she's trying to pick up). She spots a boat hook and grabs it. It'll have to do.

She hops down to the boat deck, and enters the cabin. She's got her boat hook ready to attack, but it seems she was lucky enough to find the thread while Artman was out buying supplies to carry out his evil plot. She unties the thread, tucks it in her pocket, tosses the boat hook aside and resumes her hunt for sailors.

[franznietzsche]

Dressed in his best sailor suit, franz spots moonbear leaving artman man's boat. Sauntering up, he walks up to her and starts a conversation, the disguis seems to be working, and she's already trying to pick him up.

Deftly flirting he reaches into her pocket, grabs the thread, and then pushes her off the dock and into the water, walking off to his car.

[Artman]

Dressed in his best sailor suit, franz spots moonbear leaving artman man's boat. Sauntering up, he walks up to her and starts a conversation, the disguis seems to be working, and she's already trying to pick him up.

Deftly flirting he reaches into her pocket, grabs the thread, and then pushes her off the dock and into the water, walking off to his car.Artman happens back with his supplies and watches the entire exchange between Moonbear and the sailor, who he easily recognizes as Franz. He waits until Franz has pushed Moonbear in the water then, as Franz is walking toward his car, he unleashs the angry, horny Rhino. The rhino, very turned on by the sailor suit, begins running after Franz, who runs off screaming and drops the thread, which Artman scoops up and carries to his boat. he sets the craft free and heads out to sea with the thread and his materials to kill it.

[Moonbear]

Moonbear surfaces, sputtering. But it seems the commotion has attracted the attention of some real sailors. While one reaches down to help pull Moonbear back up onto the dock, three others take off after franz. They promise not to hurt his pretty face while they render him writhing and groaning on the ground alongside his car.

One picks up the thread and they all saunter back to Moonbear, grinning ear to ear (women in wet clothing have that effect on sailors). "I believe this was yours Ma'am."

Moonbear graciously accepts the thread back from them, flutters her eyelashes a bit, and feigns a little limp so one of them offers to hold her and assist her walking back with them where they'll help take care of her wet clothes. Moonbear is ecstatic; she just got the thread AND the sailors.

Edit: Darn! Artman beat me to it! Can I still keep the sailors?

[franznietzsche]

Badly wounded, but still victorius, franz smirks at the woaked moonbear being escorted away by the sailors as the pulls the thread out of his glove box. Having had the foresight to keep a forgery in his pocket and hide the real thing he has had the last laugh. He starts the car and drives off quickly, before moonbear can figure out the truth.

[Artman]

Darn! Artman beat me to it! Can I still keep the sailors?Sure.

That should keep her busy. I guess I can put down the electroejaculator that I was going to poke the wet Moonbear with.

I think you will find, Franz, that you have an artifical thread. (The one attached to Tribdog's..., uh, let's just say it's tribdog's.)

[Moonbear]

What franz doesn't realize is that the dock master, who sees everything, spotted him stashing the thread into the glovebox. He rescued it while franz was scuffling with the sailors, and replaced it with a forgery of his own.

The dock master calls the coast guard to go fetch Artman, knowing he has no navigational skills and will need rescuing, and then sets off to Dock 21 where the sailors have gone with Moonbear. The dock master, being an old salty dog has seen pretty much everything, and knows better than to toussle with a group of sailors. He stands on the dock alongside the ship and tosses the thread to the sailor on deck. "Give this to the little lady, maybe she can use it to cover up a bit," he instructs gruffly. The sailor chuckles and gladly sets off with his excuse to return the thread to Moonbear, now resting comfortably in the bunks, wrapped in a blanket while waiting for her clothes to dry.

By the way, like I said, that's the "Tribdog thread" that you are covering your naked body with. :yuck: :bugeye:

As soon as the sailor enters the bunks and holds out the thread, Moonbear recognizes it too is a fake thread. She realizes there isn't much else to do now than wait for the Coast Guard to bring Artman and his houseboat back to shore. She'll just have to find a way to while away the time until the Coast Guard returns. She allows her blanket to slip a bit as she sets aside the fake thread and gives a big smile as she thanks the sailor for delivering it.

[tribdog]

"last one," said tribdog, as he tightened the tiny screw. the relief was evident. "I didn't think I'd ever finish." It had taken most of the past two days, but finally his quantum tunneling time machine was finished.
This had better work, he thought, knowing there would be no second chance. He quickly stripped off his clothes, revealing his long, hard mathematical equation tattooed across his chest. the equation that made this time machine possible. He climbed into the time machine, curled up into the fetal position being careful to shield a tender spot on the back of his head and spoke the command to begin.
A computer voice began speaking, "thank you for choosing QT Travel. If you would like to travel through time please press or say one. If you would like to speak to an operator please press or say two."
"One" said tribdog.
"If you would like to travel into the future please press or say one. If you would like to travel into the past please press or say two."
"Two" tribdog said
"If you would like to travel 2 days into the past please press or say one. If you would like to travel 1.5 days into the past please say or press 2 if you would like to travel 6 minutes into the past please say or press three. If you would like to travel 198,998 years into the past please say or press four."
"two? no one. ONE!" said tribdog.
"too late." said the computer. "two it is. Have a pleasant trip."
Tribdog saw the entire universe move about a foot to the left and a bell said "ding"
Climbing out of the time machine tribdog saw someone sitting at his computer. I hope I'm not too late he thought as he picked up his television and brought it down on the head of the handsome young man sitting at his computer.
"Ouch, what'd you do that for" the young man said, turning around. "Hey, you are me. Why don't you have any clothes on? Wow, that sure is a long, hard thing you have there. What is that? Calculus?"
"Shut up!" said tribdog, interrupting himself. "I've come back to stop you. You must not, under any circumstance, post a topic about the top thread killers on PF, what happens if you do is horrible."
"I already sent it." said the younger tribdog.
"Oh no. but maybe it's not too late. You need to build a time machine and go back to before you send that post. With two of us it should be a lot easier building this time machine. If fact we can take mine apart so you can use the pieces to build yours." said the future tribdog.
"Why can't I just use yours?" asked the younger.
"Clever," said the elder, "I hadn't thought of that."
Suddenly there was a sound behind the two tribdogs. they turned to see another one of themselves standing there, naked. He held something long and hard in his hands. It was a flame thrower.
"Sorry," said the newest, oldest tribdog. " the thread killer thread is bad, but its nothing compared to multiple mes." Flames shot out and obliterated two of the three tribdogs. "We'll just have to hope the thread killers don't cause too much damage.

Yes,i agree,but first show us how to leave,PERMANENTLY... :tongue2:

Daniel.

[Moonbear]

It all boils down to who can finish last fastest.

LOL! Well, according to Evo, we know you're quick to the finish, but I'm not sure if that'll give you the stamina to get to the end of this thread. :biggrin:

[dextercioby]

And u may take Franz with you...And Artman & Trib...:tongue2:

PLease Moonbear, like i would fall for that. Give me some credit at least. Gosh.


You know, this one time i was driving my car around late at night. Man it as some vicious weather that night, let me tell you. Downright wicked. There was an eclipse too, under the clouds. And many werewolfs. Many many werewolfs. ANd vampires. And they were fighting Over this thread. Was i dreaming?

Sad thing is that this thread is going to never die. Unless I kill all of you, then I would win...

Little somethin for my godson tribdog and a little girl named franz

Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
I say the darker the flesh theN the dEeper the roots
I give a holler to my sisters on welfare
Tupac cares, and don't nobody else care
And uhh, I know tHey likE to beat ya down a lot
When you come around the block bRothas clOwn a lot
But please don't cry, dry your eyes, never let up
Forgive but don't Forget, girl keep Your head up
And when he tells yOu yoU ain't nuttin don't Believe hIm
And if he cAn't learn To love you you should leave him
Cause sista you don't need him
And I ain't tryin to gas ya up, I just Call em How I sEe em
You know it makeS me unhAppy (what's that)
When bRothas makE babies, and leave a younG mOther to be a pappy
And sInce we all came from a womaN
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we Take frOm our women
Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?
I think it's time to Kill for our women
TIme to heal our women, be reaL to our women
And if we don't we'Ll have a race of babies
That will Hate the ladIes, that make the babieS
And since a man can'T make one
He has no Right to tEll A woman when and where to create one
So will the real men get up
I know you're fed up laDies, but keep your head up

[Moonbear]

Clearly I need to resort to more extreme measures.

*fires up cauldron, starts tossing in strange solutions and powders, a little hair of the tribdog, some bloody juicy bits of franz, some of Artman's toenail clippings, words penned by mattmns', some strange green thing from Dextercioby...*

Okay, I think all the ingredients are in. *starts stirring the contents of the cauldron and walking in circles around it, chanting...*

[klusener]

I had chocolate nuts for lunch today, i was late to start with in the morning, so i couldn't pack lunch, thus i just grabbed some nuts.. but the thing is I don't like it when the nuts are heavily salted, when they are lightly salted, i can suck at them all day long and be happy.. Thank god for peanuts, i love peanuts..

OK we'll settle this with a drinking contest. Everyone got your bottle of grey goose? Good. Start chugging, whoever drinks the most without stopping wins. In the event of a tie the two people will go again. In the even of a tie where the two people have emptied their bottles, there will be a bacardi 151 chug off, same rules.

Everyone ready?

[Moonbear]

Ooh, good plan! I think I'll just sit here and watch. When the rest of you have all passed out, I'll just help myself to the thread.

[franznietzsche]

No you have to participate, or you can't ahve the thread, thats how the rules work.

[Artman]

No you have to participate, or you can't ahve the thread, thats how the rules work.I'm here huckleberry.

Artman slowly begins to circle the thread with his hand poised above the handle protruding from his holster.

Suddenly, three flaming Tribdogs come rushing through the thread!!!
:surprised

Artman, startled by the outburst, draws his weapon and fires it repeatedly into the thread! Blam! Blam! Blam!

"You're no daisy. You're no daisy at all" he says, "even if they can resuscitate it, it'll be so full of holes it won't be able to stand up." :devil:

YOU MISQUOTED DOC HOLIDAY!!!!

Its "I'm YOUR huckleberry".I know, I didn't want to give you guys any "Huckleberry" fodder.

I really liked that movie.

Val Kilmer did not play doc holiday, he was doc holiday. Absolutely fantastic.

[tribdog]

Val Kilmer did not play doc holiday, he was doc holiday. Absolutely fantastic.
that movie sucked, 2 hours of bad acting and corny lines.


*steals thread while franz has seizure*

[Moonbear]

I don't think I ever saw Doc Holiday. I'll take tribdog's word for it and assume I've missed nothing (that saves on movie rental fees too).

[tribdog]

I never saw it either, but I figured family vacation sucked so doc holiday probably would too

[Andre]

Some people seem trying desperately to have dead threads lingering on. I've gone back to the last 100 or so really dead threads and counted up how many times each person was the one named as the last poster. Here's my list of PFs members who did the most attempts to keep the conversation up:
1)with 21- franznietzche
2)with 15- Moonbear
3)with 12- tribdog
4)with 9-tie-Ivan Seeking and Tsu

What are you talking about?

I was working, you know, being productive? What were YOU doing? Yeah thats what i thought.

Val Kilmer did not play doc holiday, he was doc holiday. Absolutely fantastic.Yes he was. I love the line he says to the guy who says, "Hell, I got lots of friends."

He just says, "I don't."

Gotta love it.

[tribdog]

Yes he was. I love the line he says to the guy who says, "Hell, I got lots of friends."

He just says, "I don't."

Gotta love it.
Shakespeare?

[Artman]

I don't think I ever saw Doc Holiday. I'll take tribdog's word for it and assume I've missed nothing (that saves on movie rental fees too).If you like western theme movies this is a good one. It's called "Tombstone," not Doc Holiday. In my opinion, it's not quite as good as Eastwood's "Unforgiven," but it is still good.


My thread, by the way. <sneaks off with the thread while the others run to the video store.>

[Artman]

Shakespeare?Actually, he does get a little poetic in his speaches.

[tribdog]

I like peaches. Doesn't a juicy peach sound really good right now?

[tribdog]

I can't believe no one has gone back and posted in all the threads franz killed. would only take about 2 minutes to drop franz out of first place

[Artman]

I can't believe no one has gone back and posted in all the threads franz killed. would only take about 2 minutes to drop franz out of first placeOh my God, that never occurred to me.

Oops, I mean of course "speeches."

[tribdog]

I wasn't being rude and correcting you. a peach really does sound good to me right now.

[Moonbear]

I don't know, when I left last night, there weren't very many threads left that didn't have my name on them. It makes it a lot harder to quickly bury this one if I have to start replying to myself to bump threads in front of it (I'm not that obnoxious).

[russ_watters]

Me last now.

[Artman]

Me last now.Uh, hey look over there Russ. Isn't that a Democrat?

<While Russ turns to begin debating issues with yet another Democrat, Artman swipes the thread back.>

Mine!!!!


*drags thread into the bottom of the wuantum well he was in to resum commiserating with the down quark.*

[Artman]

Mine!!!!


*drags thread into the bottom of the wuantum well he was in to resum commiserating with the down quark.*Darn it! How am I supposed to get it down there? It was so much easier when Russ had it.

Oh, what do you know. I have it again.
:smile:

[Moonbear]

Instead of weeding out contenders as they fatigue, it seems we're acquiring more! Look at all the scavengers lining up to feed on the dead thread! :bugeye:

Artman, good move sending Russ after a Democrat. That should keep a few thread killers occupied.

I'll have to think about what new outfit to wear today to go along with the thread-stealing adventures planned. Yesterday's worked to distract some of the men and scare of franz for a bit, and having the sailors around was pretty useful, but those high heels were tough to run in, and the skirt didn't have any pockets to carry duct tape or weapons.

*rummages through closet*

And with a little slight of hand while talking, I've got the thread again.

[franznietzsche]

Pulls out bag full of claymore mines.

My thread.

Plats claymores in circle around thread, pointing OUTWARD, sits on thread, holds detonator and waits for the next poster.

I dare ya, i'll blow you away if you even think about it.

[Moonbear]

Oh, thank heavens I decided to wear this comfy flight suit today. Not overly attractive, but lots of pockets, and now I'm all ready to descend from the rope ladder on this helicopter to grab the thread from franz from above.

Now, franz, how were you planning on getting out of that circle of mines? :devil:

They're claymore mines, silly moonbear.

*picks one up, points it at her, detonates*

Claymore mines sit upright out of the ground and launch shrapnel horizontally when detonated, typically by tripwire, though you could do it by pulling the pin out yourself with the wire.

The also say "THis side Towards Enemy" on the front, just so no one gets confused, like me.

I've got plenty of em, and i'm still siting right here, on the thread.

Got a few grenades too.

Hey Moonbear, did you see the interesting Brain Teaser that Tribdog created that used our names over in the Brain Teaser Forum? I already figured it out.



(while franz and Moonbear head over to work on the brain teaser, I steal the thread.) :biggrin:

I already saw it yesterday. You can't distract me that easily. You should be appreciative I sent the Coast Guard after you so you can still be here to keep trying to steal the thread, otherwise you'd still be lost at sea. You keep distracting franz while I hang onto this here thread.

My name wasn't even mentioned in the brain teaser. Why would i go look?

I still have plenty of claymores for you too.

[Artman]

My name wasn't even mentioned in the brain teaser. Why would i go look?I know. I figured you'd be frantically PMing the three flaming Tribdogs to find out why.

Or at least go after them with your claymores.

Hey, tribdog, look! franz has explosives to play with! Go see what happens if you play with the detonator.

[Artman]

The three flaming trbdogs inspired a song. Sung to the tune of the last verse of "The Twelve Days of Christmas"

"The Twelve Days of Thread Kill"
By Artman

On the twelve day of "Thread Kill" PF gave to me,
Twelve funky Moonbear outfits,
Eleven bizarre Artman characters,
Ten dextercioby redirects
Nine claymore mine fields
Eight frisky seamen
Seven posters fighting
Six MIH sneak attacks
Five Evo Warnings
Four confused posters
Three flaming Tribdogs
Two nasty posts by Andy
And the Number one Thread Killer franznietzsche!

(Don't go back and count I made up the numbers)

The threads mine by the way. Nothing lives after one of my songs. :yuck:

[Moonbear]

Ooh, but it can't die yet. You've just given me 12 outfits and I've only gotten to wear two of them so far. 10 more to try out! :biggrin:

[Math Is Hard]

And the Number one Thread Killer franznietzsche!

WOW! I never would have thought of a rhyme for "pear tree" - but nietzsche works just dandy!! :smile:

[tribdog]

ooh, he's good. the bob just might kill this thread with posts like that

[Math Is Hard]

I think there is an art to creating an awkward silence. That's how you get people to flee a thread.

[tribdog]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing just the *farrt* same thing the other day. *looks around hoping nobody heard that*

[Moonbear]

*sticks clothespin on nose* I think we need to switch your puppy chow there tribdog.

[Artman]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing just the *farrt* same thing the other day. *looks around hoping nobody heard that*I can't smell it but the sound hurts my eyes.
:yuck:

[tribdog]

hatches an idea
I wonder if I could edit a post so that I have the final word, but it doesn't show up at top of the page afterwards.

[mattmns]

A better idea would be to create another account, and then post under tribdog in this thread, and then post in every other thread in this forum under your new account.

[franznietzsche]

I think there is an art to creating an awkward silence. That's how you get people to flee a thread.

Speaking of which i have this bad sleep habit.

*points claymores at unqares listeners*

Whenever i have a dream or nightmare where i get hurt and then wake up, my mind carries the perception of pain over into my waking consciousness.

*readies the pull string*

For example i just woke up from a dream where i fell off the amst of ship all the way down to the deck. Broken bones, caoughing blood. Much Pain. FOllowing this i woke up. I tired to move. BAAD idea. My body felt like it was on fire and had been systematically pounded with a demolition hammer (jackhammer). My body was in fact fine, my mind was just continuing to imagine the pain it had imagined during the dream.

*pulls string, blowing all other thread killing contenders to smithereens*

Did i mention pain makes me homicidal?

*takes, thread, disappears back into the darkness*

[tribdog]

I say we let him have it.
whoops

[Moonbear]

*points claymores at unqares listeners*


I'm going to have to look up that word, "unqares." Maybe we should add it to the Word a Day thread? Well, since I've never heard of the word, it must not mean me, so I'm okay. Besides, I still have that bear protection suit. I haven't worn that into the thread yet. Maybe that'll be tomorrow's outfit. I'll document how hot it is, how heavy it is to walk around in, whether I can stand up or sit down, and what the best approach to the call of nature is while wearing that suit. Yep, that ought to kill the thread if it manages to survive the night. :rofl:

Nice of you to drop by ! :approve:

[Moonbear]

That wasn't too bright of franz to just drop in and hand you the thread, was it? :rofl:

But, hey, if I'll retrieve it from a rhino rectum, I suppose diving into a quantum well isn't too extreme to fetch a thread.

Mine now! :biggrin:

You can't launch yourself with a gravity gun, haven't you played half-life 2?

*smacks smurf upside the head*

Yeah, who's got the bigger post count now?

The thread is mine.

And welcome back.

[arildno]

I predict: franz's childishness will make him grab this thread back.

It's mine.

Also, Welcome back Smurf.

Oh... are we taking this thread off of each other??? I see. Well in that case :rolleyes:

[russ_watters]

Artman, good move sending Russ after a Democrat. That should keep a few thread killers occupied. I'm back - all the Democrats were at Starbucks, and you know I'm not going in there! :surprised

[Artman]

I'm back - all the Democrats were at Starbucks, and you know I'm not going in there! :surprisedBeing a Republican myself, I knew you'd be back.

Hey, I thought I just heard someone say, "Bush and the military ought to mind their own business." It came from over that way.

< points to the far left. Russ exits running.>

Mine again. :smile:

[Monique]

Now. Finally an end to this thing. Anyone who replies after this will infact temporally reply in the reverse direction. I'm officially the last *Monique reverses time*

oh, and time cannot be reversed back, that would mean a terrible collapse of the universe :yuck:

Do you feel yourself getting younger yet? Tss, this is a physics forum and they did not think of this solution themselves :rolleyes:

Now. Finally an end to this thing. Anyone who replies after this will infact temporally reply in the reverse direction. I'm officially the last *Monique reverses time*

oh, and time cannot be reversed back, that would mean a terrible collapse of the universe :yuck:

Do you feel yourself getting younger yet? Tss, this is a physics forum and they did not think of this solution themselves :rolleyes:Now hold on a second, Tribdog already took us into the past (when he became three flaming Tribdogs) so what you have done is actually turn us back to the present. And speaking of presents, thanks for the thread!
:biggrin:

[franznietzsche]

:biggrin:


Back to the past with this one.

[mattmns]

Is the thread now mine?

[Artman]

After I risked all of our lives to warp space and time back to the present, you guys just waltz in here and swipe the thread. Well I never. :grumpy:

[mattmns]

Sorry, I did not realize what a brave thing you did for us. I will leave you with your thread, good day sir.

[Moonbear]

I'm back - all the Democrats were at Starbucks, and you know I'm not going in there! :surprised

:rofl: Yep, Starbucks is a dangerous place. They've managed to get me addicted to lattes, darn caffeine pushers! A cup of that sometime between 2 and 3 in the afternoon, and it gets me through the rest of the day. (Hey, it's good for me, it has milk in it. :biggrin:)

And P.S., I've got the thread now.

[motai]

Lets have PF sell shares of stock to determine who in the end will inevitably own the thread. 51% will be the owner of the particular thread at hand and can close it at their own volition hehe.

[franznietzsche]

I think based opn the fact that i post far more in GD than anyone else that i have the most shares.

My thread now.

[Artman]

Sorry, I did not realize what a brave thing you did for us. I will leave you with your thread, good day sir.I suppose, since you have acknowlegded my potential sacrifice of all our lives, you may borrow my thread, but don't expect to keep it.
:wink:

[franznietzsche]

I suppose, since you have acknowlegded my potential sacrifice of all our lives, you may borrow my thread, but don't expect to keep it.
:wink:

MY thread, and no he may not borrow it.

[mattmns]

No need to borrow it considering that is is MY THREAD!!!

[franznietzsche]

No need to borrow it considering that is is MY THREAD!!!

Not anymore.

[Artman]

I guess we should tell you, shouldn't we sister? That we have been giving the thread small doses of arsenic in its tea. You see, it's lonely and we feel so sorry for it, don't we sister. When it does die, we will have it buried in the Panama Canal that Teddy has been digging in the basement, along with all the other gentlemen threads that we have helped. o:)

It won't be too much longer. More tea, thread? o:)

Here you go. <Hands the steaming beverage to the thread, who drinks it straight down>

What's that? you're not feeling well? Perhaps you should lie down. o:)

Teddy, we need another canal dug.

<Trumpet blast from the top of the stairs> "CHARGE!!!"

[franznietzsche]

Its ok, i have some medicine for arsenic poisoning given to me by a man who really wanted to sell me a resort in pacoima the vacation capital of califorinia :rolleyes:

Here you go thread

*Thread dies*

Well, would you look at that...the schmuck swindled me....

[Artman]

Oh dear sister, that is not one of our guest threads. You can't bury him in our basement. :grumpy:

Who is he and why did he put that imposter thread in our window seat? He looks like fran...

It's franznietzsche and he's come to try and take our thread.

You get out of our thread. :grumpy:

Now sister, be nice. Let's offer him some tea. o:)

My thread you philandering thread-hussy.

[Artman]

My thread you philandering thread-hussy.Well I never! (Well hardly ever.)
:blushing:

[franznietzsche]

Well I never! (Well hardly ever.)
:blushing:


My spidey-senses are telling me you're lying.

(Jeebus christo, are we already 20 pages on this topic? lives we have not)

[Artman]

I am going to be away for a long weekend. I am going to leave special instructions for the care and feeding of the thread while I am away. (I don't want anything to happen to it until I return late Monday.)

First of all, don't leave it alone with franznietzsche. he does not seem very responsible when it comes to caring for it.

Moonbear should be watched as well. She can be very naughty and this is a fairly young and impressionable thread. (Especially if the fleet's in.)

mattmns may borrow the thread, but he must bring it back.

Give the thread plenty of clean water (none of the muddy stuff they sometimes feed the political threads). Oh that reminds me, Russ may visit, but don't let him make the thread too conservative.

Keep the doors locked so Math Is Hard doesn't just walk in and take off with it (you know how she can be).

Other than that I guess that everything should be...sniff...sniff...
I'm so worried, there are so many trying to kill my poor little thread.
Be a good thread...sniff...sniff... Don't talk to any strangers (don't worry there are none stranger than us) and I'll see you when I get back.

[Moonbear]

Moonbear should be watched as well. She can be very naughty and this is a fairly young and impressionable thread. (Especially if the fleet's in.)

:bugeye: Hey! I draw the line at being watched!

Now, come here little thread, we need to show you the ropes, and we know hanging around sailors is just the thing for that. :biggrin:

[Artman]

:bugeye: Hey! I draw the line at being watched!

Now, come here little thread, we need to show you the ropes, and we know hanging around sailors is just the thing for that. :biggrin:Hey! I haven't even left yet and already Moonbear is bringing on the sailors! Next thing there will probably be a dozen or so partying nuns, forty or so penitent guys sayin their hail Marys and who knows what else! :grumpy:

[dextercioby]

Artman,you said u were about to finally quit this thread (you said you were gonna leave)...Have you changed your mind about "leaving"...?:grumpy:

Daniel.

[franznietzsche]

Hey! I haven't even left yet

Given that its MY thread you can't leave instructions for it. I'm the boss around here.

and already Moonbear is bringing on the sailors!

Sailor Moon outfits, what?

Next thing there will probably be a dozen or so partying nuns

There goes the neighborhood :rolleyes:

forty or so penitent guys sayin their hail Marys and who knows what else! :grumpy:

ONly the penitent man shal pass, only the penitent man shall pass, only the penitent man shall pass, the penitent man is humble, before god, he KNEELS!!

Whoever identifies the reference first, may take care of the thread in my absence while i go off and party for the weekend.

[Moonbear]

He just doesn't trust me as a thread-sitter. :cry:

I know it and I can't stay with the thread! :cry: Sean was so funny in that movie!

Behave all of you. Now I am really leaving this time.

[franznietzsche]

I know it and I can't stay with the thread! :cry: Sean was so funny in that movie!

Behave all of you. Now I am really leaving this time.

We'll have to see if anyone else is smart enough to get it then :tongue:

[dextercioby]

That movie was super hot...I liked Robert,simply because he eventually proved to be EVIL...And Demi was hot,as always...

Danievil.

[franznietzsche]

That movie was super hot...I liked Robert,simply because he eventually proved to be EVIL...And Demi was hot,as always...

Danievil.


You get nothing if you cannot name the movie.

[dextercioby]

I don't know the name of the movie in English,simply because it was translated into Romanian and usually the mot-à-mot translation back doesn't coincide with the original.:tongue:

The thread kill is still undecided...:tongue:

Daniel.

[franznietzsche]

I don't know the name of the movie in English,simply because it was translated into Romanian and usually the mot-à-mot translation back doesn't coincide with the original.:tongue:

Daniel.


And you can't say what it would be if you untranslated it? If you can recognize the line, you have no excuse.

[dextercioby]

It should contain the words:"The Penitent"...:confused; :tongue2:

Daniel.

[franznietzsche]

It should contain the words:"The Penitent"...:confused; :tongue2:

Daniel.


The line has nothing to do with the title. Its actually a semi-obscure line, although the scene its in isn't.

[Gokul43201]

I thought it's the line that Indy keeps reminding himself of as he follows the path to the grail in Last Crusade (when something swings and he ducks under it when going through the dark cave-tunnel thingy)...but Dex has me confused.

[franznietzsche]

I thought it's the line that Indy keeps reminding himself of as he follows the path to the grail in Last Crusade (when something swings and he ducks under it when going through the dark cave-tunnel thingy)...but Dex has me confused.

Dex doesn't know what he's talking about.

You're close. You got the movie, so you win.

Its what he says right before the spinning blades that he ducks and rolls inbetween. He reads his father's journal which has the clue "only the penitent man shall pass" in reference to the first of the three trials.

[Gokul43201]

What do I win ?

[Moonbear]

What do I win ?

The right to have the thread stolen from you as you stand in for franz. :rofl:

[franznietzsche]

What do I win ?

you get to baby sit the thread while i'm off enjoying the weekend nightlife.

[Moonbear]

you get to baby sit the thread while i'm off enjoying the weekend nightlife.

See? franz is saying Gokul has no life. Go get him Gokul!!

*steals thread while Gokul is chasing after franz*

[franznietzsche]

See? franz is saying Gokul has no life. Go get him Gokul!!

*steals thread while Gokul is chasing after franz*

Gokul, what kind of babysitter are you?

You let the sailor-chasin hussy get it!!! :grumpy: :grumpy:

[Moonbear]

Gokul, what kind of babysitter are you?

You let the sailor-chasin hussy get it!!! :grumpy: :grumpy:

Shouldn't you be out at some party?

[franznietzsche]

Shouldn't you be out at some party?

Soon enough, soon enough.

[mattmns]

Soon enough, soon enough.
Good, then while you are out having fun, us losers will steal your thread from you: Mwuhahahahaha :approve:

[Math Is Hard]

*rips thread out from under matt*
Hey, Gokul -- catch!!!
heh heh heh

[franznietzsche]

*rips thread out from under matt*
Hey, Gokul -- catch!!!
heh heh heh


Good job MIH.

Here have some aftershock for your effort.

Gokul, get back here, you won the designated thread sitter post, you have responsibilities!!!


I'm out, see you all later.

[Moonbear]

Too late, Gokul strayed from his post and I intercepted MIH's pass! Thread's mine now!

[mattmns]

zzzzzZZZZZzzzzz, soooo tired, aren't you tired Moonbear? After a long day of work wouldn't it be nice to just sit back in bed and sleep?

[Moonbear]

zzzzzZZZZZzzzzz, soooo tired, aren't you tired Moonbear? After a long day of work wouldn't it be nice to just sit back in bed and sleep?

Oh, it would be, but I'm not done with my day of work yet. :frown: I need to get stuff to my PI tomorrow because he's out of town all next week, so tomorrow's the only day he's in the office. I don't have the luxury now of setting it aside and finishing it tomorrow. Time to put on another pot of coffee, it's going to be a late night.

But you go ahead and get some sleep if you're so tired. No need for us both to stay up all night.

[Gokul43201]

Thread sitter, eh ? Think I've got nothing better to do on friday nights ?

<Now where's that thermocouple I was calibrating...>

[Moonbear]

Of course you have better things to do on a Friday night. You can just leave the thread with me and it will be fine.

[Moonbear]

Hey! With only 4 posts, you're hardly even in the contending as thread killing champion. You need to practice on some other beginner-level threads first. This one is for thread-killing experts only. :biggrin: I've been working on subtely burying this thread all night, just a post or two at a time, and here you go dragging it right back to the top on me. :rolleyes: Must be amateur night...LOL!

[Chronos]

Does starting a thread and getting no replies count as a kill?

[Moonbear]

I think we decided that's not killing, because they are stillborn.

[dextercioby]

We got read of Artman,how many are still in contention:Moonbear,Franz and me...?

Daniel.

[Gokul43201]

Of course you have better things to do on a Friday night. You can just leave the thread with me and it will be fine.Now saturday mornings are a whole different story.

<Now where's that calibration curve I plotted last night...>

[mattmns]

Wow yeah Moonbear, I followed your advice of going to bed. Best nights sleep I ever had. Thanks for keeping the thread warm for me :smile:

[mattmns]

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!!!! I was casually going around, bumping up threads to the top while this one was sinking to the bottom, and bam! You put it back on the top again :cry:

[dextercioby]

Relax,Matt,there ain't no way u can make us forget about this thread and the relevance of killing it...:wink: :devil:

Danievil.

[mattmns]

Ughhh, back to the top again, this thread will never die. We need to make a rule: Maybe 12hrs w/o a post and its dead?

[Moonbear]

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!!!! I was casually going around, bumping up threads to the top while this one was sinking to the bottom, and bam! You put it back on the top again :cry:

That's how I felt last night! The thread-killers had gone to bed, there were people willing to post in other topics, so by careful picking and choosing, they were getting bumped up without a blatantly obvious list of threads with my name as the last poster on all of them, and then someone came in and brought this thread back to the top again!

See, we all are terrible at thread-killing. This thread should have had only a short lifespan, and we may have just given it the kiss of immortality!

[dextercioby]

A poisonous kiss,indeed...:tongue2:

This one is gonna go 3000 posts,undoubtedly...:devil:

Daniel.

[mattmns]

Yeah this thread is going to be around for a loooong time. It is already up to 9 pages of bs. This thread is not my child, this thread is franz's child, that is why we are all trying to kill it :smile:

[dextercioby]

This is Tribdog's EVIL creation...:devil: And yes,it shouldn't be kept alive...About the bs part,i disagree,just because i've posted 25 times...:tongue2:

Daniel.

[mattmns]

*kisses thread* you be a good boy/girl, whatever it is you are, whild daddy is gone.

[Moonbear]

Okay, happy thoughts coming up. :smile: :devil: :smile: :devil: :rofl:

[mattmns]

Hey come back here! Do not try to sneak away from daddy. pff, think I may have to spank this thread.

[franznietzsche]

Yeah this thread is going to be around for a loooong time. It is already up to 9 pages of bs. This thread is not my child, this thread is franz's child, that is why we are all trying to kill it :smile:


Yet with all of you posting here it only grows stronger, every single day.

HAHAHAHA, the thread is MINE!!

[Math Is Hard]

"HAHAHAHA, the thread is MINE!!" said Thready McThreadless

:devil:

Mine now!!
*cackles like a maniac*

[mattmns]

Thready McThreadless, I like that.

[franznietzsche]

Thready McThreadless, I like that.
Now i'm Thready McHavingTheThread

[mattmns]

I had the thread for 3.5 hrs or so, that is pretty good for the middle of the day

[franznietzsche]

I was asleep, it doesn't count.

[mattmns]

just stopping by

[Moonbear]

I had the thread for 3.5 hrs or so, that is pretty good for the middle of the day

Oh, you mean the few hours when I couldn't get to PF? From the time stamps on posts here, apparently nobody else could either.

[Moonbear]

Well, stop crowding it then.

[dextercioby]

I was sleeping too.But now i'm back to life claiming what's rightfully mine,namely this THREAD...:devil:

Danievil.

[Moonbear]

What's this thing you call sleep?

[dextercioby]

An activity in which u were supposed to relax,unless u're really having nightmares...

Danievil.

[mattmns]

Sleep, eh. And yeah pf was down for me too. Too bad it was not down forever, because then I would have claimed the kill.

[mattmns]

Good, everyone went to bed. Now I can get back to work :smile:

[mattmns]

eh hem, I think you took my thread

[Chronos]

This is very discouraging. I have tried to kill threads before... I get a kick out of that, but you guys refuse to cooperate.

[Moonbear]

This is very discouraging. I have tried to kill threads before... I get a kick out of that, but you guys refuse to cooperate.

I hereby name this thread Wyle E., after Wyle E. Coyote, because we've flatten it, squashed it under a boulder, sent it off a cliff, exploded it, and even stuck it up a rhino's rectum, yet it just scrapes itself up and keeps on going.

Yeah, tribdog was daring enough to retrieve from the rhino rectum, what a move that was. I soo thought the thread would be safe there.

[Moonbear]

Hey, give credit where credit is due! I retrieved the thread from the rhino. :grumpy: Nobody else was daring to go there, and I had the long gloves.

[dextercioby]

Was the same rhino which underwent "collecting"...??:tongue2: That explains a lot.

Daniel.

[mattmns]

Ok, time for breakfast

[Math Is Hard]

:rofl: Great song...er...thread! :rofl:

[Math Is Hard]

Did you ever see "Shari Lewis and Lambchop", Moonbear? I think that's where I learned that song. That TV show might have been too far before your time though - it was almost before mine! I think every once in a while they run it on the cable channels, though, just for the nostalgic value.

[dextercioby]

Yeah,quite a crisis of inspiration...16 lines repeating the same thing 4 (sic) times...:eek: :yuck: :tongue2:

Daniel.

[Math Is Hard]

It's actually an infinite loop, but I wasn't sure how to use LaTex to express that.

[dextercioby]

for{}...??:tongue2:

Daniel.

[Math Is Hard]

ok, how 'bout
for(i=0; i < i+1;i++){
cout<< "this is the Thread that never ends,"<< endl;
cout<< "it just goes on and on, my friends,"<< endl;
cout<< "some people started posting here not knowing what it was,"<< endl;
cout<< "and now they'll go on posting here forever just because..." << endl;
}

[dextercioby]

Do you think it can be compiled just like that,only the cycle...?Who knows,maybe...:confused:

Daniel.

[Math Is Hard]

I think a While loop would have been better for this.

while(threadIsNotDead == true)
{
blah blah blah..;
}

[dextercioby]

Well,let's ask Warren for a C-built-in compiler too...:tongue2: We have to test our theories and CREATE THE NEVERENDING THREAD :devil:

Danievil.

[Math Is Hard]

Great idea! chroot needs a new project.
We should have a lime green Compile button at the bottom of each post. :approve:

[dextercioby]

Not so fast,first he must finish his major project of his life:finding a name for his girlfriend's imaginary pet tiger...Let's be patient...Good days are on the horizon...:tongue2:

Daniel.

[tribdog]

could you all keep it down. some of us have a headache

[dextercioby]

Too much vodka,huh...?I hope you're doing better now...I won't scream,i promiss...:shy: :tongue2:

Daniel.

[tribdog]

you all do not want to know what I did last night

[dextercioby]

Now,that u made us curious (actually me),do tell,if possible with as many details...

Daniel.

P.S.You may start (yet another) thread...:tongue2:

[tribdog]

well, I poured myself another glass of vodka, watched Dodgeball "Arrgh, loved the pirate" put in I,Robot and fell right asleep. wasn't even 7pm

[tribdog]

actually I cried myself to sleep because no one wanted to put me up for the weekend.

[dextercioby]

I liked that movie...Mainly because i wasn't alone while watching it :wink:
Yep,it was something in the vodka,alright...I hope u're cured and never buy it again...

Daniel.

[dextercioby]

Franz turned you down...?:surprised: That good-for-nothin'-weasel...He ain't gonna kill this thread...:devil:

Daniel.

[Moonbear]

No, it wasn't quite before my time...her actual show might have been, but she still made guest appearances on other shows, like The Muppets and the Tonight Show.

[Moonbear]

could you all keep it down. some of us have a headache

Hi tribdog!!!
I just wanted to let you know your Excedrin and coffee are in the thread you started last night
We'll just pretend we never saw all those photos you posted that Evo had to delete. Just what were you doing with that burrito?
:eek:

[dextercioby]

Moonbear,for 18 consecutive hours the thread was literally yours.I believe it was enough.I'm taking it back...:devil:

Danievil.

[Moonbear]

Moonbear,for 18 consecutive hours the thread was literally yours.I believe it was enough.I'm taking it back...:devil:

Danievil.

I thought we put on a 12 hour time limit to hold the title and the thread! I win!!!!! :biggrin:

[dextercioby]

No,the limit is nonexistant...The last name for an indefinite amount of time wins...:wink:

So don't open the champagne yet,this one will go for a long way...:wink:

Daniel.

[Moonbear]

Well, I'm opening the champagne anyway. But because you won't let me celebrate a win, I'm not going to share any with you. :tongue2:

[dextercioby]

:cry: But i'm alcoholic,i LOVE champagne...:tongue2: Take care with it,not to end up like Trib,drunk & asleep at the early hors of the evening...

Daniel.

[Gokul43201]

Did you ever see "Shari Lewis and Lambchop", Moonbear? I think that's where I learned that song. Oh, I thought you were doing a Morrison impression.

Okay, I've decided to annouce that I'm leaving this rotten thread for good.

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your posts ... again

It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of trying to make you die

This is the end.

[mattmns]

Yeah Moonbear won. I went to bed thinking I had forgot to do something, and I did: I forgot to post in this thread, blahhh!

[klusener]

that's hilarious, if you wrote it, bravo :clap:; if someone else wrote it, then :spanking:, but still i love it...

[dextercioby]

Yeah Moonbear won. I went to bed thinking I had forgot to do something, and I did: I forgot to post in this thread, blahhh!

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!She never will...:devil:

Danievil.

[Moses]

hahaha u ppl are hilaroius, well one of the reasons i dont post that much is almost 20% of my posts where "thread killers" still the concept itself is so -baised:

IS the last post a thread killer or just a thread finisher by an expert finishing move ....


Ohhh no! i am in the dager now if being the thread killer again, some one post quickly, PLEEEEEEEEEEEEASE! :cry: :rofl:

[arildno]

Moonbear has won.
No thread-killer champion thread survives 18 hours all by itself; reanimation of dead threads is simply ghoulish.

Congratulations, Moonbear!

[mattmns]

[...] IS the last post a thread killer or just a thread finisher by an expert finishing move ....
lol an expert finishing move. *pulls out katana, spins around and slices up thread from multiple angles, "fatality" *

[Bartholomew]

Most threads with many poosts have gaps of at least 24 hours, usually more.

[arildno]

Most threads with many poosts have gaps of at least 24 hours, usually more.
But those are not thread-killer champion threads; hence, they have an innate resilience denied to tkct's.
Moonbear has won.

[mattmns]

Yep, Moonbear has won. I agree with arildno: This is a competitive thread, normal rules do not apply.

[franznietzsche]

Yep, Moonbear has won. I agree with arildno: This is a competitive thread, normal rules do not apply.


If moonbear won, why is this thread alive?

[arildno]

If moonbear won, why is this thread alive?
It isn't alive, it is in suspended animation only.

Moonbear won, the thread is dead: Right now we are just poking it with a stick.

Dude, I'd like to point out that you killed the Is Love Real thread. I think it was when you started trying to make a serious point, and it just got really... unsavory. :frown:

[Moonbear]

Well, you're just all standing around for me to give my acceptance speech!

The thread is mine!!! I think I'm going to stuff it and mount it on the wall over the fireplace. :biggrin:

[franznietzsche]

Well, you're just all standing around for me to give my acceptance speech!

i'll never surrender!!

[Moonbear]

Where is your acceptance speech?

That was it. :biggrin: I thought a good anti-climactic ending would be the perfect final blow to the thread. :rofl:

[arildno]

A very good acceptance speech, IMO.
Let's leave franznietszhe to pick up whatever loose ends he thinks belongs to the thread-killer champion thread (he's mistaken of course)
A generous attitude towards losers is a most becoming trait in one's personality, or what, Moonbear?

The thread is mine!!! I think I'm going to stuff it and mount it on the wall over the fireplace. :biggrin:I cannot believe this! I leave you alone with my thread for one weekend, (I left specific instructions to keep an eye on Moonbear) and when I get back, there are posts all over the floor, people in and out all weekend. :grumpy: Everybody out! Leave now. I am back to take care of this thread. Go on, the party is over. Everyone out and take those bottles with you and those sailor suits. :grumpy:

[Moonbear]

Sorry Artman, apparently you didn't leave the thread with reliable thread-sitters. Too late now, the kill is mine! :devil:

[Artman]

Sorry Artman, apparently you didn't leave the thread with reliable thread-sitters. Too late now, the kill is mine! :devil:The thread is not well, (probably hung over), but it is certainly not dead (7 pages since I went away). But now that I am back it is getting better already. Soon it will be ready to be killed. At which time, I'll be here for it. :smile:

[Math Is Hard]

why don't we just keep fattening it up until Thanksgiving and we'll kill it then?

[Artman]

why don't we just keep fattening it up until Thanksgiving and we'll kill it then?Great idea, MIH. It will probably be very fat by then.

[franznietzsche]

Sorry Artman, apparently you didn't leave the thread with reliable thread-sitters. Too late now, the kill is mine! :devil:


Aparently i didn't either, gokul failed me. I'll never forgive him :cry:

[dextercioby]

Let's vote.I say the thread is very much alive and it will be that way until all of us get bored to posting in it and the last one wins...

Who's backing me...?

Daniel.

P.S.And Artman's right:all uninvited guests,OUT!!:mad:

Which means i will win.

[dextercioby]

I wouldn't count on it,if i were u...:devil:

Danievil.

[Artman]

P.S.And Artman's rightOf course I am.



Thread's mine.

[Moonbear]

:cry: You all stole my victory! Sore losers. :tongue: Well, I did it once, and I'll do it again!

[dextercioby]

In your dreams,honey,yeah,keep dreamin' & everything's gonna be just fine...:devil:

Daniel.

P.S.By the time u wake up,this thread will have had a terrible and painful death in the hands of "the green thing"...:tongue2:

[Moonbear]

By the time I wake up? I just woke up a few hours ago. It's a long time before I get to go to sleep. Oh, wait, I do have a noon meeting coming up soon, but those only last about and hour. More of an afternoon nap. :rofl:

[dextercioby]

I see a sudden loss of interest towards this thread.That's good news.The day for celebrating MY victory is not far away...:devil:

Danievil.

[Moonbear]

I see a sudden loss of interest towards this thread.That's good news.The day for celebrating MY victory is not far away...:devil:

Danievil.

But it is not to be today. And that's MY victory.

[mattmns]

Dexter you will not win. I made a quick program that scans this thread for your name. And if it appears more than it did before, it will post for me, making sure that you will never win :devil:

[Math Is Hard]

what if I just write a program that evaluates each new post and posts to the thread if (LastPoster != Math Is Hard)?

[franznietzsche]

what if I just write a program that evaluates each new post and posts to the thread if (LastPoster != Math Is Hard)?

Then pf will be shutdown for a while due to bandwidth problems

[Moonbear]

Aww, look at all of you, "my program is bigger than your program." It's just so cute. Me, I don't need no stinkin' programs. I'll just wait until Greg bans all your IPs to stop the bandwidth problems, and then I'll slip in for the kill! Muwahahahahaha! :devil:

[mattmns]

lol, I do not know if it would break any contracts, but I bet you can expect, as Moonbear said, to be banned.

[franznietzsche]

But i'm not using a program. I'm immune!!!! :devil: :devil:

Bring it Moonie!!!!

[Moonbear]

But i'm not using a program. I'm immune!!!! :devil: :devil:

I hereby declare no underage thread killing. You better leave the dirty work up to us older folks. :tongue2:

As iff underage anything laws would ever hinder me.

*Stabs thread with a 13 inch knife*

[tribdog]

I feel immortal. I have started a thread that could become one of the all time greatest. Perhaps able to rival the great "stupid quetion"
All I can say is that it is about time. Finally you all are starting to realize I am better than you and are responding as you should. I command you to continue posting to MY thread. Pay hommage to me.

Go get your own thread to kill. :grumpy:

[tribdog]

dang, thought I was going to get the kill for that comment.

[dextercioby]

Not in this world...:devil: :tongue2:

Daniel.

P.S."stupid quetion" thread is stupid,THIS is great...

[Artman]

At 20, I think I may be the youngest person posting in this thread, so I will probably outlive you all. And then...I have a reason to live. :smile:

dang, thought I was going to get the kill for that comment. It was a darn good try.

Bring it Moonie!!!!I love it. :biggrin:

Hey Dex, did you see the great ping pong game going on in some other thread?

ping - pong - ping - pong - ping - pong - ping - pong - ping - pong

:uhh: :uhh: :uhh: :uhh: :uhh: :uhh: :uhh: :uhh: :uhh: :uhh:

Is he gone yet?

[Artman]

I like ping pong.I play it,everytime i get the chance...

And i feel OFFENDED that u assumed i'd fall for that...:mad:

Daniel.Fall for what? o:)

ping - pong - ping - pong

What ever are you refering to, Dex?

<must make dex want to go play ping-pong.>ping - pong - ping - pong

<must continue subliminal ping-pong infusion.>ping - pong - ping - pong

:uhh: :uhh: :uhh: :uhh: :uhh: :uhh:

[Artman]

And i feel OFFENDED that u assumed i'd fall for that...:mad:

Daniel.Now don't be -ping- offended Dex. It just -pong- means that -ping- I consider you a -pong- worthy adversary, -ping- such as you might find -pong- in a good Ping -ping- Pong -pong- match. o:) :smile:

No reason to be -ping- offended. :smile:

[Artman]

All this pong-ping bs is not gonna keep ME away...It might work with Moonbear,though..:tongue2:

Daniel.Perhaps if we had a Rhino that needed collecting... :tongue2:

Now, where's my Barry White CD?

[dextercioby]

Please,no more connection between Barry White & rhino...:cry:I may get disgusted and leave...

Daniel.

[Artman]

Please,no more connection between Barry White & rhino...:cry:I may get disgusted and leave...

Daniel.Uh, oh baby, can't get enough of that Rhino love, baby.
:tongue2:

[Moonbear]

All this pong-ping bs is not gonna keep ME away...It might work with Moonbear,though..:tongue2:

Daniel.

Ooh, I love ping-pong. I'm terrible at it, but it doesn't stop me. It just makes the game more interesting to smack the ball off light fixtures, bookcases, the pet cat, etc. :biggrin: (Disclaimer: No actual cats were harmed in the making of this thread.)

My persistence in ping-pong is somewhat similar to my persistence in this thread. It doesn't matter if I'm twice franz's age, I'm still going to outlive him (is he the youngest here?). I'm going to get the thread kill even if I have to do it on my own deathbed! :tongue2:

[Artman]

I'm going to get the thread kill even if I have to do it on my own deathbed! :tongue2:Do what? :blushing:

[Artman]

Ughh I did not like playing ping-pong in gym. I was very good and aggressive when it came to sports, but I was terrible at ping pong, which pissed me off lolHey dex, Moonbear and mattmns needs help with their Ping Pong skills. :smile: Why don't you take them to another thread and give them some pointers? o:)

[Artman]

All this pong-ping bs is not gonna keep ME away...It might work with Moonbear,though..:tongue2:

Daniel.Hey, you're right. It seems to have worked on Moonbear and mattmns! :tongue:

[Moonbear]

Hey dex, Moonbear and mattmns needs help with their Ping Pong skills. :smile: Why don't you take them to another thread and give them some pointers? o:)

Oh, no, there's no reason we can't play ping-pong right here. I miss the table so often, I don't even need to bother having one!

*pong...kerthunk* Oops, sorry there Artman, you might want to put some ice on that eye. You really should wear safety glasses when I'm playing ping-pong.

[dextercioby]

It never was.It's Tribdog's kid,remember...?:tongue:He attempted to kill it (patricide :confused:),but he failed...:devil:

And definitely will not be...

Get used to LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSING...:tongue2:

Daniel.

[Artman]

I started watching the thread, studying it, when it first started. It has certain patterns. There are others around it sometimes, but not always. I know when it is alone, when it is helpless.

Other people talk about killing the thread. I begin to see the thread dead. My breathing gets faster because I realize I want it dead too, but I also realize that I want to kill it. It's mine. They don't know it, but it is mine. My sweet innocent, soon to be dead thread. Dead thread! Ha, ha, ha! Rolls right off the tongue, doesn't it? How would any of you know! You keep bringing it back to life after I have killed it!

Creepy huh. Bet you're all too scared to stick around now. :devil:

[Moonbear]

Of course I hope you all realize that the only way to win here is to gain a silent victory. You can't be acknowledged for the win, nor can you brag about your win, or else it will remind others the thread exists and they will resume posting. Can your egos handle a win nobody notices? If not, give up now, winning would be far too depressing.

We've reached the point of no return.And yes,i would start a new thread in which people would pay hommage to me and acknowledge me as the SUPREME BEING WHO SLAYED THE THREAD... :cool:

And I would kill that thread,too... :devil:

Daniel.

[motai]

Extensive statistical analysis shows that the average lifespan of a thread such as this under these conditions is 7,204 posts.

This question will be asked sooner or later, but statistics can't go long on this forum without knowing the source of the statistics. Anyways, im curious... how did these analysts get to this rather odd figure? Mathematical model?

[Moonbear]

I attempted to contact the statisticians who performed the analysis, but I must have lost the pin they were dancing on in a haystack.

LOL! Don't you know the only way to find a needle in a haystack is to take your shoes off and walk through the haystack? Guaranteed you'll find it on your first pass through! :rofl:

[Artman]

LOL! Don't you know the only way to find a needle in a haystack is to take your shoes off and walk through the haystack? Guaranteed you'll find it on your first pass through! :rofl:You know what is harder, finding a needle in a stack of needles. http://www.cafe18.uni.cc/images/smilies/dance.gif

[Artman]

Unless, of course, you don't care which needle. Then you just reach in a grab one. :biggrin:

[tribdog]

when someone does kill this thread and it comes time to award the trophy does it get awarded in this thread? and if it does, does that make the trophy invalid? it's one of those Catch 22 of Schrodinger's Cats paradoxy thingies.

[dextercioby]

Nope,not in this thread.If you had bothered reding the 100 posts u've been missing,you'd have noticed my suggestion:the winner creates a thread especially for other members to pay hommage to him and then,he would get to kill that thread too.

Daniel.

But no one, except me, will ever manage to kill this thread.

So should i just make the other thread now?

[tribdog]

what other thread franz?, did I miss something in the last 100 or so posts?

[franznietzsche]

what other thread franz?, did I miss something in the last 100 or so posts?

Not likely, just ignore this thread for about 100 posts, and then come back and be confused about whatever it is me and these usurpers are discussing then.

[franznietzsche]

Hmmm, *whispers* am I the only one here

No silly, i never sleep.

[mattmns]

DAMN!!!!! I should have know franz would come here. Geeze, seriously do you sleep?

[franznietzsche]

DAMN!!!!! I should have know franz would come here. Geeze, seriously do you sleep?


Sometimes, but never for very long. I think i average 2 all nighters a week, and when i almost never manage a night of continuous sleep for more than a few hours at a time.

Get lot's of programming done though.

Unless he drinks too much,no...

Daniel.

I've never passed out or forgotten a night. Had a few that were real hazy, but no black outs.

[franznietzsche]

It's hard to tell when i'm awake or not,just the "green button" tells whether i'm online or not...Which is much more relevant to the welfare of MY BELOVED THREAD...

which i'm gonna kill pretty soon...:devil:

Danievil.


Not if i kill it first!

My thread!

*stabs thread for the gajillionth time*

[franznietzsche]

Hmm, when is the next time you plan on sleep all night? *grabs pen and paper*


The next time i spend an entire day getting laid. So not any time soon from the looks of it. :frown:

[dextercioby]

*Removed dirty joke with Franz in leading role¨*:cry:

P.S.This forum's moderated :cry:

Wow, I think franz may have wrote the program. Dexter posted at 4:26, then franz comes in, quotes dexter, and then types his own message and still manages to make it in the 4:26 mark. hmmmmmm :eek:

edit... woops quoted myself; I better hurry before franz comes in and harasses me :grumpy:

I am not a chat bot. What are you talking about.


...how does it make you feel to call me a chat bot?

(if you get the reference, i commend you on your comp sci geekiness)

I actually spend my programming time writing simulations of physical systems, and related code libraries, particularly RK4 routines for various types of systems.

[mattmns]

Reference, nope I do not get it :cry: Ok, time for breakfast, then school *stupid tuesdays and thursdays*, and then to reclaim my thread.

Hey,look,there's another dude with us in this forum...He better stay away from MY THREAD:grumpy:

MY THREAD!!!

[Artman]

The thread killer strikes again. I got another one (it was locked with my name in the last post spot). This one will be mine. Until then little thread, grow and be happy, for tommorrow you may die. :devil:

[Moonbear]

Hey, we agreed locked posts don't count. Especially ones where you're just feeding the trolls. Stick with feeding this thread, I want it nice and meaty when I finally go in for the kill. If we don't fatten it up, it won't display as nicely mounted over my fireplace.

[Artman]

[tribdog]

nah, we kill them for their pelts

[Artman]

nah, we kill them for their peltsLOL. Oh God, we're going to be boycotted. Cruelty to threads. (I've seen us torture live ones.)
:yuck:

[tribdog]

case in point, this current one. We are fattening it up like veal

[Artman]

nah, we kill them for their peltsI'm going to make mine into a coat.

[Artman]

I was going to make the tail into a hat, but that could be risky knowing some of the posters to this thread.

[Math Is Hard]

My ancestors were Native Americans. They were not wasteful like you people. When they killed a thread, they used every part of the thread.

[tribdog]

even the colons ::?

[Artman]

My ancestors were Native Americans. They were not wasteful like you people. When they killed a thread, they used every part of the thread. Should be able to use the thread blubber to light your lantern or heat your teepee for the whole winter, MIH. :tongue:

[Artman]

Let's ask Evo to stick this THREAD,MY THREAD...

Daniel.You mean it's not a sticky thread? It's never more than one or two from the top.

And it's mine. Gonna live off the thread blubber. :tongue2:

[tribdog]

I'm going to knit a shower curtain out of it.

[Artman]

I'm going to knit a shower curtain out of it.Gonna eat your fat?

[tribdog]

no, but I might use it to add some flavor to a gumbo

[Moonbear]

I think I'm going to dye it blue and use it to reupholster the chair in my office.

[tribdog]

do you have a pattern for moccasins? I think I'd be stylin' in a brand new outfit of breechcloth and moccasins

[Moonbear]

I'm voting we make you go barefoot so you'll have enough thread to make a larger breechcloth, preferably, one that covers a little in the back as well as the front! :eek:

[tribdog]

I'm voting we make you go barefoot so you'll have enough thread to make a larger breechcloth, preferably, one that covers a little in the back as well as the front! :eek:
:blushing: don't tell everyone I need a larger than average breechcloth, it's embarrassing.

[Artman]

...have enough thread to make a larger breechcloth...You guys better keep fattening up this thread, we'll need a big one if I win. :approve:

Pissing match. That should take care of getting rid of the girls. :smile:

[Moonbear]

You guys better keep fattening up this thread, we'll need a big one if I win. :approve:

I guess that would be similar to wearing shoes several sizes too big to try to impress the women?

Alright, we're going to have to do loincloth inspections now. All you guys line up. *grabs salad tongs to lift loincloths and ruler for measuring*

[Artman]

I guess that would be similar to wearing shoes several sizes too big to try to impress the women?

Alright, we're going to have to do loincloth inspections now. All you guys line up. *grabs salad tongs to lift loincloths and ruler for measuring*Should we stand at ease, or at attention? What is that electric poker looking thingy in your other hand, it doesn't look like a ruler?

[Moonbear]

*holds hand behind back* What other thing? All I have is this ruler. *holds out hand with ruler* o:)

i'm going to cover this thread in spam. And whoever wants to kill it has to lick all the spam off. Even between the threads toes :yuck:

Eeeewwwww! Spam and toe jam! :yuck: :yuck: I think this has just turned into the PF Fear Factor thread! Whoever can suppress their gag reflex enough to withstand tribdog and Artman walking around in only loincloths and eating spam and toe jam wins! Now we just need one more stunt. This one needs to be the one that requires physical agility. How about tight-rope walking across the thread suspended between the roofs of two high-rise buildings.

[motai]

*puts own clothespin and keeps the thread rolling*

*speech in annoying lilt due to clothespin* Ehannhhh, This thread isn't going to die just yet...

[franznietzsche]

Eeeewwwww! Spam and toe jam! :yuck: :yuck: I think this has just turned into the PF Fear Factor thread! Whoever can suppress their gag reflex enough to withstand tribdog and Artman walking around in only loincloths

They're wearing that much? I've been naked in here all day.

and eating spam and toe jam wins! Now we just need one more stunt. This one needs to be the one that requires physical agility. How about tight-rope walking across the thread suspended between the roofs of two high-rise buildings.


Only if the two high rises are under water and you're surounded by hungry maneating sharks, without any safety equipment.

The stakes are jsut that high.

that really puts it into perspective for me. thanks man.

Ewwww, now you've got me thinking of squishing spam between my toes. :surprised

:bugeye: :bugeye:

Great, now i've got vomit in places vomit should never be. Thanks a lot moonbear.

[Artman]

You're welcome. :redface: What do you guys think this place is, "Lord of the Flies" or something?Yup. We're all running around in loincloths.


Except Franz, he's naked and Dex is there with him.

[Artman]

Franz,...That's a huge pair of b@lls u got there...:tongue2:I don't know. Sounds suspiciously knowledgable to me. :uhh: Of course I have no real way of verifying this data (nor do I hope to). :yuck:


Dex getting upset and leaving yet? :tongue:

[Moonbear]

P.S.Franz should be the one upset...After all,huge b@lls mean DISFUNCTIONALITY...

Elephantitis comes to mind. Though, maybe they didn't mean quite that large, in which case some enlargement can happen when one is, um, reaching critical pressure, and not, um, seeing to the proper operation of the pressure-release valve. Don't worry franz, the latter condition resolves itself with no long-term damage other than psychological. :tongue2:

P.S. I feel the need to point out that someone rearranged all the smilies on my screen again a few days ago! :tongue: and :tongue2: must have been fighting again and needed to be separated, and they put o:) between :devil: and :!!). Must have been getting a bit too lusty there. Of course :blushing: and :shy: are rather embarrassed to be sitting next to :zzz: while he's snoring so loudly. Or, maybe it's :devil: making that one :blushing: blush. Afterall, :eek: seems outright shocked about whatever :devil: just did to :blushing: and :yuck: is just plain disgusted by the behavior he sees in the row in front of him. :frown: looks pretty upset he's stuck sitting next to o:) and can't do what :devil: is doing. :surprised isn't quite sure if :wink: is winking at him or at :!!), but I think :cool: knows exactly what they're all up to. Who knows what prank :rolleyes: just played on :redface:, but :rolleyes: is trying to look innocent while poor :redface: is mortified, and :grumpy: is annoyed he wasn't invited to join in the prank. :cry: hasn't figured out it's a prank yet and is really upset, and :uhh: just doesn't know what to do about all that crying next to him, which is absolutely delighting :biggrin:, but irritating :mad:. :approve: is really quite naughty and enjoying watching the entire spectacle from the backrow, while :bugeye: can't believe everything that's going one without anyone stopping it, though from the other side of the backrow, :rofl: is in absolute hysterics watching everyone else, though :smile: seems to be pretty mellow. Possibly :mad: is just angry that :smile: brought in some elicit substances to the event and isn't sharing. :confused: is a bit of a geek and just doesn't get it; all this social interaction is just too much to take in. Oh, and never forget that heckler, :tongue: up in the front row. Hope I didn't miss anybody!

In case the smilies don't display the same on everyone's screen, here's the order I see them...this week:
:rofl: :smile: :mad: :approve: :bugeye:
:tongue2: :cry: :uhh: :biggrin: :confused:
:grumpy: :rolleyes: :redface: :!!) :wink:
:yuck: :frown: o:) :surprised :cool:
:eek: :devil: :blushing: :zzz: :shy:
:tongue:

[mattmns]

I have not noticed too many changes in smilies, but I usually have most of the ones I need memorized :cry: :smile: :tongue: :tongue2: :devil: :approve: :wink: :grumpy:

[Moonbear]

I don't know, it's a strange thing that I don't often need to click on them to use them, but I still notice when they move. I think it's like knowing where all your students sit in the classroom, and even if they don't have assigned seats, you notice when someone changes their habit and sits somewhere different.

Possibly :mad: is just angry that :smile: brought in some elicit substances to the event and isn't sharing. :confused: is a bit of a geek and just doesn't get it; all this social interaction is just too much to take in. Oh, and never forget that heckler, :tongue: up in the front row. Hope I didn't miss anybody!

In case the smilies don't display the same on everyone's screen, here's the order I see them...this week:

Good question, same thing happened to me. How are blind people supposed to post if greg keeps rearranging everything? I don't think this complies with the 'Americans with Disabilities Act' :wink:

Absolutely! You always have the best ideas! :biggrin: Your Fauchon chocolate is on the way!

And why DO the smilies keep moving??? :devil:

I don't know. They do seem to be quite a rowdy bunch, but I haven't really seen any of them fighting to need to be separated. Every time they move, I wind up looking through the whole list seeing if there's a new one in there somewhere. As long as the codes for them don't change again, all will be okay.

[Artman]

Moonbear, that was great!!!! Perhaps I should delete all posts after yours and let you be the thread killer? Seems like a good last post to me. :tongue: Ye'd be riskin a pirate mutiny. Arrrrghhhhh (Or is it a nerd rebellion, it's hard to say.)

That was a real cool post Moonbear.

[Moonbear]

That was a real cool post Moonbear.

Thanks, and glad nobody bothered pointing out the typo either. I'm pretty sure :smile: has illicit substances, not elicit ones! Though, I don't really know what an elicit substance would be. Maybe they're even better than illicit ones?

Unfortunately, you were all supposed to stop and be dazzled by all the smilies and forget to reply.

[tribdog]

Say, Tribdog, are you planning to reply in your "Rotten PF Members" thread in the Brain Teasers forum?
no I don't think I will. you are right, I am wrong. I messed up. I think I'm going to have to give up on the brain teasers. I hurt myself everytime.

Yes,but they can be LOCKED WITH ME AS THE LAST POSTER... :tongue2: :wink:

Well you probably do not want it locked now, seeing as I am now the last poster

[Evo]

I could be really evil and pick a day and time to lock the thread. No one will know when the thread will lock and who the official "last poster" will be. It will be like musical chairs. :devil:

contributions of fine Belgian Dark Chocolate made to Evo will be taken into consideration when "locking" the thread

I fear that now that the thread is UNDEAD that locking it will be the only way to stop it.

[arildno]

A deserving winner is the one who grabs "the number of the beast" for himself.

[dextercioby]

Yes,i agree.With everything.:approve:*stuffs a big box of Belgian Dark Chocolate into Evo's computer*

Daniel.

[Moonbear]

Sounds like a game of hot potato! Now you're going to force me to post even more often in the thread so I don't lose my chance to be the official last poster when Evo locks it. Only PFers could manage to create a Zombie Thread! :biggrin:

[dextercioby]

Yeah,MB,fatten MY THREAD.As i said,unless one of the mods locks it,it could reach 3000 posts before we could settle it...

Daniel.

[dextercioby]

Who said anything about abandoning...?I suggested the idea to Evo,just a caution measure,in case someone else (besides MB & Artman) tries to CHEAT.

Daniel.

[klusener]

...said Bartholomew before he quit MY THREAD...I am a genuine thread killer,though not really successfull in GD,but you can check other forums to convince yourseld.

Daniel.

That was a very highfalutin post, very different from your normal tone.. :uhh: But it is true, so i will leave it at that...

P.S. Just ignore this post because it holds no meaning, hoping that people will not post here after they see this post, so I can become the true thread swallower.. :devil:

[Evo]

I know why you want evo to lock the thread. None of you have the stamina to truly kill a monster of a thread. Fatigue gets to you... every time you post in the thread you feel lousy, because you know it isn't over yet you don't want to simply abandon the kill to others. Trapped between two alternatives--posting constantly when you don't really have the strength to, or abandoning your chance to win the battle--you want a third alternative, an easy way out, someone to end the whole business so you can wash your hands of it. None of you have the true grit required to be a real thread killer.HAAAR!! Bartholomew has the fightin' spirit, he does! Give that boy a peg leg, a parrot and an eye patch and you'll have one fine pirate!!

er...sorry, that's the nerd thread

Alright, it's a fight to the death then!!!!! No locking, someone is going to have to take down the...... :surprised ZOMBIE THREAD!!! :surprised

[mattmns]

Hmmm, I better go check out the pirate thread to see what all the hype is about.

Wait a second... pirates don't exist in the thread killer champions thread! They only exist (at least now) in the nerdy thread... unless it spreads throughout the forum like a plague.

Soon there will be people saying "AARGGH" and "YAAARRR" in the calculus and math forum when people get concepts wrong. And also in the TD forum, the moderators will just lock crackpot theories and leave a single "YAAAARRRRGHHH!" message. In the philosophy forum, they will discuss the intrinsic meaning of "YAAR!!"

Physics Forums will degenerate to pirate rabble and all the mad scientists will rebel against their collegic institutions. All we will want to do is pillage, plunder, burn, find booty, bury the booty, and horde wenches.

Oh, the humanity!

Yarrhh, Moonbear - now ye'll have to walk about with headless Polly on yer shoulder!

Cap'n Moonbear didn't abandon any threads, matey! She knows the pirate code and goes down with 'er thread, she will.

Well,how about abandoning this thread...?:wink: :devil:

Doesn't it sound tempting...?

I'd be the shame of the seven seas to abandon the thread. This cap'n'll go down with 'er thread.

Daniel.

[BobG]

Nye, but 'tis undeniable that this thread is eerily unkillable (it even survived a meninhats reference).

There's a reason for that -

Arguing with zombies is generally futile, of course. But I have found it to be a valuable experience for two reasons. First, I believe that zombies are having a significant indirect influence on cultural and political thought, and I wish to thwart them. And then, there's a lot to be learned from zombies; they are useful, at the very least, as conversation pieces.

It turns out that it is possible to distinguish a zombie from a person. A zombie has a different philosophy. That is the only difference. Therefore, zombies can only be detected if they happen to be philosophers.
- from You Can't Argue with a Zombie (http://www.well.com/user/jaron/zombie.html)

[Moonbear]

Then we better move this thread to philosophy to find out if it's really a zombie.

[dextercioby]

Why move it there...?It's become the symbol for GD.What on Earth can be more general than switching subjects between geeks-pirates-zombies and so on and so forth...?

Okay, that becomes funny based on it's relevance to the irrelevance of threads like this, but if I was reading it in the Sunday paper, it wouldn't be funny at all on its own merits.

[Evo]

Trib, that was great, I love the post from Monique (who went by "the Owl')

Don't get me started about reading the wrong things.. I LOVE going to azian restaurants: Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Thai. And the things I ate there.. intensine of fish soup, pork belly, sea snails (worst ever), lots of squid, stomach of cow (which?), cow intestines, raw oysters (yuk), tried to order froglegs many times, land snails, AH! I ate the feet of chicken, nibbling on the nails :), tong, what else, probably other weird things that I do not know the name of.. But the good thing is that I have my own personal guide in Asian food, so the restaurant that I have been to were like the best food I've ever tasted, very authentic and clean.

Monique®

and the response from zero

"If that's cat, well, just fry me up another tabby!"

Personally I've eaten some very tasty barbecued goat "cabrito". And I LOVE raw oysters!!! But oysters roasted in the shell on an outdoor grill next to the Chesapeake Bay are my favorite memory. :approve:

[Moonbear]

LOL! I was going to say things never change, but it seems tribdog has lowered his standards over the years and will now accept food he suspects has a loogie in it.

I can't stand goat or goat cheese. :yuck: I really hate when people sneak goat cheese into things that look otherwise innocuous, like a salad that I think has some feta cheese on it, or a pizza or lasagna that ought to have ricotta in it, and then I take a bite and eeeeeewwwww! Nothing gets that taste out of my mouth!

I don't think i'm gonna reply to your PM now! :grumpy:

At anyrate, i'm about.

[dextercioby]

This thread is finally coming into his senses...We got read of the intruders (geeky pirates) and we're carryin' on with our strive to kill it.:devil:

Daniel.

[russ_watters]

Since this thread will probably never die, I propose a points system whereby the "players" are rated according to how long the thread sat idle after they posted. So, for example, vikasj007 only gets 7 points because the thread was only idle for 7 minutes before dextercioby took it over....

[dextercioby]

It's not fair,Ross.People also sleep.You wouldn't want them to be forever online,on GD,posting in this thread :uhh:

Daniel.

[mattmns]

Hmmm point system, that may work, I would just not win because I sleep. It would be up to Dex and Franz

[Moonbear]

Woo hoo! Great idea! I nominate Russ to tally up the points. :biggrin:

[Moonbear]

Yes, Dex has an advantage because he is in Europe (I think), so I can safely say that he should be disqualified, then we can disqualify anyone who is in Canada, then anyone on the east or west coast, then hmm I pretty much have won then :tongue2:

You go to sleep too early to win. You were off to bed by 10:30 on Saturday night...just give up now.

I like a point system, I know I have lots of points from my 18 hour thread stun (I guess that's what it was, just stunned it, didn't kill it), and I think I got in another 6 hour gap this weekend after mattmns went to sleep and before Dex woke up. But, of course that changes my whole strategy if points based on idle time count.

[Moonbear]

I think this point idea is pure bs...:devil: Who's counting...?And there's one more thing:you'd have to count from the very beginning,that is over 770 replies ago...

Daniel.

That's why I nominated Russ, since it was his good idea, :devil: and we know he's only posted a couple times, so he can't inflate his score without us noticing. :biggrin:

[mattmns]

Hey I did not go to sleep til 11 that night, I just left PF at 10:30, so pfff. But you are right, I do go to bed to early to win at a point system, unless I could somehow get you all dqed. So I guess I will agree with Dex, :eek: and say that whoever kills it is the man! Yes man! Moonbear is not going to kill this thing!

[dextercioby]

It would be a shame if MB killed this one too...Or Evo,or MIH,or Tsu,or Monique...Heck,us men are outnumbering them,so it better one of us killed it...

Daniel.

[BobG]

Other forums seem to have had problems killing threads. Maybe they could provide some input on how to find a solution.

How to Kill a Thread (http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=31&threadID=407016)

The problem:
I would like to kill a Thread (reason: after a specific amount of time, some threads need to be killed....

One solution:
The best way to kill a thread is a knife wound through the heart.

Rebuttal problem:
okay, i guess i have to explain it in more detail: your suggestions doesn't work because threadToBeKiller does the following:

1. read data from URL
2. process data by doinf calculations and database access
3. write/archive data to file

this can take very long....

I think the problem can be isolated to either

a) the 'threadkillers' actually reading the posts - if you read the posts, you might make an interesting reply (plus you might empathize with the thread, making it harder to stab the thread very hard).

b) the 'threadkillers' process the data - I'm not sure how to 'doinf calculations' (is that anything like doinking calculations?), thinking about what you read definitely increases the chances you might make an interesting reply.

c) the 'threadkillers' can't resist the impulse to write the most interesting thoughts they think of in response to what they've read.

[Artman]

...b) the 'threadkillers' process the data - I'm not sure how to 'doinf calculations' (is that anything like doinking calculations?)...I've doinked a few calculations. You've really been cracking me up lately BobG.

But even your witty banter can't save this thread. You've seen its death certificate. Its gone. Its mine. I have to continue plans for its funeral.

[Moonbear]

However, if you notice, Moonbear has not posted since Dex and I confirmed that she would not get the kill. But because I just said this, she now has something to enter back in on. :cry:

Oh, I was just busy rallying the sisters, now that you've thrown down the gauntlet and made this men vs women! :biggrin: You can thank Dex for giving me all new incentive to keep going here.

I'm just pacing myself. (Okay, it's a little known secret that I have a job that pays me and sometimes I have to do that instead of posting at PF).

[franznietzsche]

I'm just pacing myself. (Okay, it's a little known secret that I have a job that pays me and sometimes I have to do that instead of posting at PF).

You have a j-o-b?

http://prodtn.cafepress.com/6/12999256_F_tn.jpg

[Moonbear]

Yep, a j-o-b. Until I find some billionaire to marry, I have no choice if I want to pay the mortgage and put food in my belly (whether or not it gets put on a table at any point is somewhat optional). Not that I'd likely stop doing what I do even if I was independently wealthy, but it's not even an option to consider yet.

[Moonbear]

I've got something better than a job. TAX REFUND came today

LOL! You do realize they're just giving you your own money back, right? Damn, taxes, I have to get to work on those too.

(Pssst- good idea tribdog, if we start talking about jobs and taxes and other boring grown-up stuff, that really ought to chase the youngsters out of this thread. Maybe we should start talking about bunions and bad backs and hemorrhoids...I know those topics usually get me to leave the room when my irritating relatives start talking about them.)

[BobG]

I think killing this thread is just too big a job for one person. This is a job for a PAT (Process Action Team). By using sound principles of TQM (Total Quality Management), I'm absolutely sure we can kill this thread.

The first thing we need to do is hold a pre-PAT meeting to determine who the members of the PAT should be. Obviously, a few members are mandatory for any PAT, such as:

A facilitator

A ... well do really need a timekeeper on a forum PAT?

A ORM (Operational Risk Management) expert

An ISD (Instructional Systems Development) expert (any idea we come up with is bound to require training)

A secretary to record the minutes of the meeting

A secretary to keep track of acronyms (we need to develop lots of acronyms!)

Someone to develop lots of power point slides showing how we've improved the forum by killing off worthless threads

Someone handy at picture hanging so we can hang our slides of valuable metrics on the wall

A black hole (someone guaranteed to make paperwork disappear, just in case - group ideas are generally better than individual ideas, but stupidity is sometimes just as contagious)

I'll volunteer to be sergeant of arms. I'll belittle any who wander off on a tangent, wasting the valuable time of all the members of the PAT. Worse, you ever notice how, once the match is struck, how many members jump in and help the carry the meeting even further off track. You almost get the feeling a significant number of the folks attending a meeting are just waiting for a chance to escape the topic at hand. Particularly annoying are those that have spent half the meeting saying nothing while we were discussing business, and then suddenly come to life (albeit, with this strange fist shaped red spot in the middle of their forehead) and help the time thief steal our valuable time by carrying off our meeting on to some totally unrelated, worthless discussion of how funny it is to watch someone walking absent mindedly down the street, encounter a sheet of black ice, suddenly break out in a spontaneous bout of the Teaberry shuffle, and then continue walking on as if no one would notice. You'd think they'd at least look around to see if someone saw before they try to act nonchalant about it. There's a saying that "He who laughs at the misfortune of others understands the meaning of life", but where's the fun if the poor dancing fool doesn't even look over to notice you're laughing. People like that are invaluable, especially when waiting in line at the Department of Motor Vehicles. I remember this guy who had one sock garter that had come loose and was hanging out over the back of his pants. 87.68 percent of the customers were just dying trying not to laugh out loud and tip this guy off, because if he noticed and fixed his shirt and garter, we'd all die of boredom. After he'd finished his business and was walking out the door, some woman got up out of her seat and thanked him. He seemed more embarrassed than appreciative of her gratitude. Maybe she should have at least waited until he was out the door instead of thanking him for his garter in front of such a large crowd of 76.83 people. Personally, the important thing is that there were only 46.75 seats in the waiting room. On your feet, lose your seat! Ah, only 78.46 more minutes to go.

[Moonbear]

I say we just order beer and pizza while we complain loudly about having to attend the PAT meetings so nobody catches on we are actually enjoying ourselves.

[Chrono]

Where is Franz? Them midterms must be killer, he is usually here non stop, I almost miss his smart *** comments :cry:

No one's ever wondered about me yet.

[franznietzsche]

No one's ever wondered about me yet.

Thats because you don't have nearly as pervasive and perverse a presence here. :biggrin:

[Moonbear]

No one's ever wondered about me yet.

We all wonder about you.

Oh, you meant in the sense of worrying about you when you're not here. :tongue2:

[vikasj007]

i propose that whoever kills this thread should get a ribbon for that.

"thread killer champion" what say greg.

[vikasj007]

anyways i know that i can do that, but the only thing is that it will take time and by the time i do that everyone would have lost interest in this thread and then i wont get any ribbons.


sshhhh....

my secret plan is to wait till this thread is killed by someone. when nobody posts for a couple of days, i would sneak in and post without anybody noticing it.(i'll just a . )

[dextercioby]

That would be useless.The thread would end up atop the pile of threads and definiteley someone will notice...:devil:And will post a reply and the thread would no loger be dead.Besides,you posted 10 times tops,so you're justa guest.Get used to it...:tongue2:

Daniel.

[vikasj007]

now that everyone is sure that this thread is not going anywhere, why not start selecting those posts which really qualified to be the thread killers, but sadly could not do so.

maybe after seeing so many bad posts, people will stop coming to this thred.


its worth a try.

[mattmns]

I think it is all luck now. It is going to take something that is quite exceptional to kill this thread.

[Moonbear]

No, I think I really could kill this thread by using an unrelenting flood of random unreplyable stuff. It might take a couple weeks. But... I'd have to post every 5 minutes day and night to prevent other people from talking to each other, and it's not worth the effort.

Besides, we'd just sit back and laugh while you were busy talking to yourself, and then when you passed out from exhaustion, would reclaim the thread.

Dex has had this thread for a few hours now...that's long enough, I'll take it back.

[franznietzsche]

:blushing: That is ME...you're referring to...:tongue2:

Daniel.


No, i think it will be me walking around naked in the thread again....

Like right now.

[Artman]

No, i think it will be me walking around naked in the thread again....

Like right now.It's very scary having to come in with blinders on and feel around for the thread when you are dressed like that.
:yuck: :yuck: :yuck:

[dextercioby]

If you're naked in MY THREAD,i've got a suggestion:why don't i open the window...?It's -20°C outside and i think in the room it's way too warm (else you wouldn't be walking butt-naked).Perhaps the cool air would be good for your health...:devil:

Daniel.

[Moonbear]

*Turns on air-conditioning in thread to force franz to put some clothes back on*

[Moonbear]

But now my abstract has been submitted, so I have time to keep a closer eye on you again! :devil: (I'm not going to keep such a close eye on franz, just keep posting after him with my eyes closed...rhino rectums are one thing, but a naked franz is skeeeeerrrrryyyyy!!!) :surprised

[mattmns]

Geeze, I can not even go back to the gd main page without having to come back to this thread to post again.

[Evo]

I found some interesting statistics.

dextercioby has made 500 posts since 2-23-05, or 83.333 posts per day!!! :bugeye:

Moonbear is second - 500 posts since 2-11-05 or 27.777 posts per day

BobG has 500 posts since 11-20-04 (wimp)

Artman has 500 posts since 9-15-04 (mega wimp)

[mattmns]

Geeze Dex do you go to school or work, or anything? It looks like you post here all day :tongue2:

[Moonbear]

I found some interesting statistics.

:bugeye: I had no idea I was posting so much! Well, I'm sure this thread is seriously upping my post count. Guess that's why GD posts don't count otherwise. :shy:

[Evo]

Geeze Dex do you go to school or work, or anything? It looks like you post here all day :tongue2:mattmns, another lightweight - only 500 posts since 11-30-04 (but 450 of those posts were in the last 4 days) :tongue2:

[Evo]

You counted all of them,including GD.That explains it...I'm not here all day,really.I eat,sleep and do all those other things NORMAL people do...

And yes,MB,those are a lotta posts...Slow down,you're eating bandwidth...:tongue2:

You too,Evo,Artman,Bob,Bart,Matt,Franz...et alumni...:tongue2:

Daniel.What's important is that all of the GD posts are quality posts. :approve:

edit: now, now, that includes matt's posts

[Moonbear]

Then why,oh,why did u reveal the standings in the QUANTITY dept...?It's the QUALITY standings that's really interesting to know...:wink:

That's because she didn't want to embarrass the rest of you by showing that my 27.7777 posts per day are of only the finest quality. When I kill a thread, only pure silk will do.

[Moonbear]

Well, maybe the music is good, but the lyrics are not that good.

I already posted this elsewhere, but being the thread-killer thread, I guess it's legitimate to post it here too. This group has a funny song, "The Geeks Get the Girls" It's not great music, but the lyrics are hysterical! (Though, Bartholomew will probably disagree; we don't seem to share the same type of sense of humor.)
http://www.americanhi-fi.com/main.php

If you click on "listen" you can hear that song (along with some cheesy video, if you can call it video).

[Chrono]

We all wonder about you.

Oh, you meant in the sense of worrying about you when you're not here. :tongue2:

Yeah. I always wonder what the hell's wrong with me, too. :wink:

[Chrono]

LOL! Did you see, I dedicated a song for you? :biggrin:

Sweetness!

[Moonbear]

Okay, I think we need a new rule. You have to at least be coherent to count as a thread killer of the thread-killer thread!

*grabs thread and slips through the secret door behind the bookcase* Muwahahahaha! They'll never find me here.

[Artman]

I found some interesting statistics...Artman has 500 posts since 9-15-04 (mega wimp)Good grief. I thought I had a life. :yuck:

As for the rest of this thread lately...<searches desperately for the smilie with the ??? over its head, Oh there it is!>

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :yuck:

I'm a zombie. :yuck:

[Moonbear]

Okay, Bartholomew and Dex, you've done a good job thread-sitting. Though, Bart, it's hardly an infant thread anymore. You can talk to it in real words, you don't have to make up babble. I'll just take it back now. I think we'll hit 1000 replies today! So, which wins the prize today, 1000th post or 1000th reply?

[Artman]

:zzz: Someone wake me at 998. :zzz:

[Moonbear]

It's no fair...I have meetings to attend and work to do! I need thread day care if I'm going to stay in the game. Well, it'll be worth the expense to keep all you guys from killing it.

[Moonbear]

I told you all you guys would run out of energy charging so quickly out of the gate. And franz has to take every weekend off just to catch his breath. I'm still going to outlast all of you!

[franznietzsche]

and yours for i dunno how many minutes.

I told you all you guys would run out of energy charging so quickly out of the gate. And franz has to take every weekend off just to catch his breath. I'm still going to outlast all of you!

I have never been quick out of the gate, nor have i ever been outlasted ! :grumpy: :grumpy:

I object to you throwing me in with their lot.

[dextercioby]

I told you all you guys would run out of energy charging so quickly out of the gate. And franz has to take every weekend off just to catch his breath. I'm still going to outlast all of you!


You're overestimating your luck and that's not good.You're not alone in this thread & u never will... :devil:

Daniel.

[Moonbear]

Oh when the saints
Come marching in

Oh, great, now I've got that dumb children's song that my sister played over and over for my nephew while I was visiting for Christmas stuck back in my head again. "The ants go marching two by two, hurrah, hurrah." :grumpy:

That's going to be stuck there all day now. (and how did you manage to edit ants to saints while I was in the process of hitting quote?)

[Moonbear]

C'mon, keep up the pace here. I want a nice, meaty thread when I kill it. We need to get it up to at least 1000 posts, and we're really close now! Keep pushing it, give it a good work-out, make it build up those muscles!

[Moonbear]

Oh, okay, as long as you were just feeling sorry for him. The wimps have to stick together I suppose. :tongue2: Now get the lead out! Move it move it move it! We're almost up to 1000, keep posting!

[Moonbear]

Almost to 1000! :biggrin:

[Moonbear]

It's going to be mine!!!! (darn 30 sec time limit!)

[Moonbear]

Very evil!

Woo hoo! I got the 1000th reply, despite nearly being thwarted by the 30 second time limit between posts. :biggrin:

[Moonbear]

Tremendously evil... I got post #1000

Evo already made the official decree that the post number doesn't count, it's the reply number! :biggrin: It's over in the stupid quetion thread, ca. reply 2000 if you need to check.

[mattmns]

WHAT IN THE HELL!!!! Geeze you guys posted way to fast. And you posted way too many times. I was hoping to be 1002, or 3 or 4, and then just delete some of my older posts to get 1000/1

[Moonbear]

The ant version is more secular. It's on at least two different children's music CDs (because I had to listen to both of them :grumpy:), so maybe I can find the lyrics online. Oooh, won't I impress my nephew if I know all the words next time I see him! I do know all the words to the apples and bananas song, and the heads, shoulders, knees and toes song, and can do a decent job of keeping up with the 10 little monkeys, jumping on the bed (one fell off, and bumped his head; he went to the doctor and the doctor said, "no more monkeys, jumping on the bed"; 9 little monkeys, jumping on the bed...) :biggrin:

[Moonbear]

WHAT IN THE HELL!!!! Geeze you guys posted way to fast. And you posted way too many times. I was hoping to be 1002, or 3 or 4, and then just delete some of my older posts to get 1000/1

We're going for 2000 now, you still have a chance! I think all we're managing to do is prove we're NOT thread killers. :grumpy:

[Moonbear]

http://www.niehs.nih.gov/kids/lyrics/antsgo.htm

That's it! That's the song! Thanks! Now I don't have to have just one line stuck in my head all night! :biggrin: Of course now the new question is why does NIEHS (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences) have The Ants Go Marching on their site? :uhh:

[Artman]

Well, we still have ants around, so they must have sorted out something with Noah. :tongue2: By the way, I hate you for getting that stuck in my head, because I don't know any of the rest of the words to the song, so just keep hearing that phrase over and over! :grumpy:This was post 998. Where was my wakeup call. :grumpy: I can't leave you people alone for a minute with my thread. :grumpy:

[Moonbear]

Sorry Artman, we were singing at the top of our lungs, but it just didn't seem like anything was going to wake you. You snooze, you lose! :rofl:

[Bartholomew]

This thread must have set all kinds of records by now.

[Evo]

Woo hoo! I got the 1000th reply, despite nearly being thwarted by the 30 second time limit between posts. :biggrin:Yes, Moonbear is the 1000th reply, post number 1000 is only the 999th reply (the beginning of the thread is counted as post one, it should be counted as zero). Bart, you get the consolation prize. :biggrin:

[Moonbear]

Yes, Moonbear is the 1000th reply, post number 1000 is only the 999th reply (the beginning of the thread is counted as post one, it should be counted as zero). Bart, you get the consolation prize. :biggrin:

:biggrin:

They should know better than to question the pirate sisterhood!

[Moonbear]

:rolleyes:

Moonbear, out to impress any guy she finds.

:rolleyes:

LOL! I don't have to try, it just comes naturally. :approve:

I just remember how funny it was when my grandfather used to teach me somewhat "non-traditional" lyrics to songs (despite my grandmother's protesting), and I think that should be passed on to the next generation. :biggrin:

[Evo]

I'm thinking I need to make up new lyrics to the Ants Go Marching song, something to truly impress my nephew. What number rhymes best with nose? I want to include the line, "The little one stopped to pick his nose." That should get a good giggle out of a kid. :biggrin:All day this has had me thinking of that darn "ant can't move a rubber tree plant" song. :grumpy:

So here it is. :devil:

High Hopes

Next time you're found with your chin on the ground
There's a lot to be learned so look around
Just what makes that little ol' ant think
he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can't
Move a rubber tree plant

But he's got high hopes... he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie in the sky hopes

So any time you're getting low
'Stead of letting go,
Just remember that ant.

Oops there goes another rubber tree
Oops there goes another rubber tree
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant.

When troubles call and your back's to the wall
There's a lot to be learned, that wall could fall.

Once there was a silly ol' ram,
Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam;
No one could make that ram, scram,
He kept buttin' that dam

But he's got high hopes... he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie in the sky hopes

So any time you're feeling bad
'Stead of feeling sad
Just remember that ram.

Oops there goes a billion kilowatt
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam!

Next time you're found with your chin on the ground
There's a lot to be learned so look around
Just what makes that little ol' ant think
he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can't
Move a rubber tree plant

So keep your high hopes, keep your high hopes.
Keep your high apple pie in the sky hopes.

A problem's just a toy balloon
They'll be bursting soon
They're just bound to go POP!

Oops there goes another problem ker...
Oops there goes another problem ker...
Oops there goes another problem kerplop.

Kerplop!

[Moonbear]

All day this has had me thinking of that darn "ant can't move a rubber tree plant" song. :grumpy:

:rofl: I love it! Don't worry, I'm sharing the contagion as much as possible (If I'm going to have silly songs stuck in my head, EVERYONE'S going to have silly songs stuck in their head). I just emailed one of my friends who has a son about to turn one and asked him what number rhymes with nose. I figure he's going to soon be listening to that song a lot too, so it's in both our interests to have some alternate lyrics. :biggrin:

[arildno]

Army ants, or PF aunts, whatever.
The descendant of Harald Hardrada will wreak a terrible vengeance by stomping over all of them..:devil:
(Harald would have kicked out William in no time..Edward had no business to be at Stamford that day..:grumpy:)

[Moonbear]

PF aunts are WAY more formiddable than army ants. :biggrin:

[dextercioby]

PF aunts...?:surprised:Army ants...?:yuck: How low did the conversation get...:yuck:

Daniel.

[tribdog]

I saw a show on army ants and the people who live in army ant territory welcome them. they move out while the ants are there, but I guess you can't find a better exterminator anywhere. the ants move in, kill everything, then move out again.hoorah hoorah

[tribdog]

tribdog, dextercioby, mattmns, abhishek, devil-fire, Moonbear, klusener, franznietzsche, Bartholomew, The Bob, pelastration

that is the list I see of currently online members. you know nothing productive is going to be said for the next hour or so.

[tribdog]

in my world I'm always on top, no that's not true. sometimes I like being on the bottom. in my pf world though I'm always on top

[tribdog]

Boy,i think you need treatment...How's your leg...?:biggrin:

Daniel.
oh thanks for reminding me. legs fine, but I got a new wound. smashed my thumb with a hammer. Huge blood blister. everyone told me to pop it, but I didn't. then the blood dried up inside and I took a thumb tack and scraped it all out. now I have a gaping hole in my thumb. you ever notice that when you rip off a bunch of old skin to reveal new skin underneath that the new skin isn't as strong as the old so it starts ballooning out. or is that just me?
will someone kill this thread already?

[tribdog]

this belongs in another thread, but since I'm here I'd just like to announce that I just found an octopus sucker in my ceviche. that's sort of uncool.

[tribdog]

this damn thread is gonna set the record isn't it? I AM THE GREATEST THREAD STARTER IN THE WORLD! If you won't let this thread die I will go down as the greatest. hahahaha. I've been telling you all how good I am, but you never believed me, now we've got some proof.

[tribdog]

I'll kill it shortly,just to prove you wrong... :cool: :devil:


Record about this thread:the fastest growing in the history of internet forums...

Daniel.
that sort of describes me. quick out of the gate but no stamina.

OOOOOWWWWW!!! I have to charge up a battery every night for work, so I have a battery charger sitting on the floor next to me and it's plugged in all the time. the two clamps are just sitting there on the floor about three inches or so apart. I just reached down to pick up my Gatorade and made contact with the two clamps with my watch. I didn't get shocked but sparks flew and my watch got REALLY REALLY HOT! still works though

[tribdog]

at least I think it still works, it is Eleventy Forty Apple, right?

[Evo]

I like it because it is so random. But it has a sad ending.Yes, it is sad, but hopefully he will be reunited with Sean Connery.

It has some great lines "Oh Benson, dear Benson, you are so mercifully free of the ravages of intelligence."

Robin Hood (John Cleese) "The poor are going to be absolutely thrilled. Have you met them at all?"

Randall "Who?"

Robin Hood "The poor."

Randall "The poor?"

Robin Hood "Oh, you must meet them. I just know you'll like them. Charming people. Of course, they haven't got two pennies to rub together, but then, that's because they're poor."

Ok, someone that hasn't seen the movie probably won't understand how funny that is.

I love Time Bandits.

I think I should add that to my rainy day movie rental list. I haven't watched it for a long time. I remember thinking it was really funny, but can't remember much of it anymore.

[Evo]

You'd hate it, moonbear. It's exactly like meninhats.What? It's NOTHING like meninhats.

Time Bandits is by John Cleese and Terry Gilliam of Monty Python, if you like "The Holy Grail" you'll like this.

Yep, that's what I remember, just completely nonsensically silly. :biggrin: Nothing like meninhats. :grumpy: Bart's obsessed with them. I bet he's buying every hat he can find on ebay.

I thought the lyrics were

We had a request for Rhino Love.

Sung to the tune of "Muskrat Love"

"Rhino Love"
By Artman

Rhino, rhino candlelight
Doin' the rhino and doin' it right
In the evenin'
It's pretty pleasin'

Rhino Susie, Biologist Sam
Grabin’ the rhino and give him a hand
And they shimmy
Sammy's hands are so chilly!

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
listening to Barry and Bolero
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like rhino love

Grabin’ his bacon, churnin' his cheese
Sammy says to Susie "Honey, would you please be collected?"
And he say yes
That’s what I expected.

And now he's ticklin' his fancy
Rubbin' his toes,
electro ejaculators and bolero
As they wriggle, and Sue starts to giggle

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Listening to Barry and Bolero
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like rhino love

La da da da da ...

[Evo]

Or how about a little "Rhino Delight"?

I think we need another song, maybe something a little more mellow.

To the tune of "Afternoon Delight" by the Starland Vocal Band:

"Rhino's Delight"
By Artman

Gonna find my rhino, gonna hold him tight
Gonna grab his horn with all my might.
My motto's always been; when it's right, it's right.
With candles and the music, yeah it’s Barry white.
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day.
And the biologist’s determined to have his way.

Sky rockets in flight. Rhino’s delight. Rhino’s delight.

The Biologist is workin' up his appetite
looking forward to a little bit o' rhino delight.
Rubbin' sticks and hands together makes the sparks ignite
and the thought of rubbin' rhino’s getting so exciting.

Sky rockets in flight. Rhino’s delight. Rhino’s delight.

Started out this morn to collect the rhinoceros
Ejaculators helpin till its got some sores
Rhino mounts the dummy to get-r-done
The rhino seems to have himself a little fun

Sky rockets in flight. Rhino’s delight. Rhino’s delight.

Please be waiting for the rhino when he comes around.
He could make a lot of lovin' 'for the sun goes down.

Sky rockets in flight. Rhino’s delight. Rhino’s delight.

Repeat chorus.

I think all of Bart's talk about dreams affected me last night. This was kind of cool, actually.

I was dreaming and the person in my dream had a glass in their hand and they asked "can you hold this for me?", I sat up and reached for the glass, but my hand couldn't grasp it, it didn't seem to have any substance, and the person was now transparent also. I tried a couple of more times to grasp the glass and get the person into focus when I realized that I had been dreaming when the person asked me to hold it but I was now wide awake and alone in my bed and reaching for nothing. The person and the glass faded away.

It seems I started waking up as I sat up to get the glass, and the visual part of the dream continued for a second.

I've only had one other dream where I woke up and the visual part of the dream continued. But that one was very scary. :frown:

[Math Is Hard]

One night I was having a bunch of random dreams and then I had this "interruption" of a screen appearing in front of me telling me I had a PM from someone at PF. I suddenly woke up. Out of curiosity I logged in to PF, and sure enough, there was a message from that person. Strange, huh?

I've since looked around for a message notification option for "wake from dreams when new message arrives" but did not find one. :smile:

Actually, Strabo really did write a book called _Geography_. No doubt he mentioned the Thracians, too. Just not in that particular way.

There is a way that the Thracians could be said to be relevant... the Thracians were the killers of Orpheus, and you were talking about killer bees. And they say music can charm bees, like Orpheus' music charmed the Thracians' weapons.Oh a wise guy eh? Tryin' to be a smart guy eh? I'll show you what we do to smart guys.

Threadkiller champion - so much effort for such a meaningless title. Just think; people will look at your post and say "Here lies one whose name was writ in water."

Not such a bad thing, really. Whose grave actually does say "Here lies one whose name was writ in water"? And for those about to jump up and start perusing cemeteries, his name isn't on his grave - just the phrase:

THIS GRAVE CONTAINS
ALL THAT WAS MORTAL OF
A YOUNG ENGLISH POET WHO
ON HIS DEATH-BED
IN THE BITTERNESS OF HIS HEART

desired these words to be engraved

WELCOME TO THE BREAK!

Here at page 102, we have a heated challenge for who will claim the title of 'Thread Killer Champion!', the coveted prize will be an all expense paid trip to an insane asylum complete with shock treatment and plenty of drugs! The second place winner will be limited to the politics forum where they can exercise their skill at killing threads and squashing any real debate! All other contestants will have to hang their heads in shame and carry on with barely any semblence of civil discourse.

So far in the standings we have the follwing contenders:

Moonbare-that's right folks she's still showing her arse and is fighting viscously for that free trip!

Tripdog-Who is so thurooughly entertained that he just keeps it going for kicks!

Frannikki- His sense of self righteous nihlism won't let him leave this thread, besides, he knows he needs therapy!

Bart- Apparently he is having a cow!

Evo- It's either the nuthouse or Evoia, she doesn't care which as long as she is still the forum goddess and overlord!

BobGee- Since his attempts at being a beegee has failed he figures this might be his chance for glory!

Dexterboy-Hanging out in the hash houses of belguim, this is the only way he can escape his graduate thesis work and the tedium of ameircan hippies with no wit!

Fartman-having failed at art, he figured this would be a good scatological end to his dreams!

Will this thread ever end?
Do our contestants know how if there is truely a bottom to this bottomless pit?
Why do they waste their time?
Is there anything better on this forum?
Where is Greg the hairy one?

That's all for now folks, stay tuned to find out if this thread will ever find it's resting place in the web arhives where is should have been laid to rest when it was hashed out of tribs devious brane!

I am reminded of a hamster running in its wheel.

My god... I just called myself a hamster.

[Moonbear]

There's hope! :bugeye:

What was that movie where the hamster died because it didn't know how to stop running or how to get out of the wheel once it started running? (It has that scene in it where he and his girlfriend visit a friend who shoots an arrow straight up into the air and they show an arrow's view of the girl and the two guys watching the arrow and trying to make sure they're not standing where the arrow's going to come down.)

Edit: On the other hand, did you ever notice how hamsters look almost exactly like tribbles?

LOL! Is hamsterdance still on the web? Used to be www.hamsterdance.com right?

Edit: I just checked...lol! It's still there, but all new and improved. The hamsters have new hits out now.

Actually the Mayan empire crumbled because the UFO's and the ET's that flew them here took them back to their own planet which is made of dark matter and coexists within our own atmosphere they are watching us even now and they are planning to come back and destroy the world by reactivateing their energy network taht they created when they made all of the pyramids this will cause a quantum skip and flux up everything.

[Artman]

See, the mayan people hid in the mountains (that is the regular people because the extraterestrials infiltrated them and when they discovered they hid in caves where they are waiting even now till it is safe to come out again.) and then they have constructed shielded locations deep inside the mountains where they can safe when the quantum enihlation happens. (they predicted it would happen, so it will.)

[Artman]

Is this outta you imagination,or some shameless copy-paste again...?:tongue2:

Daniel.I only copy and paste my own stuff for comic effect. I had a similar discussion a few years ago. I was discussing the fall of the Mayan empire with a guy in one of the forums and this other guy started posting bizzarre theories. He killed that thread. I thought it might work here. These are my own made up theories.

Hey, it worked in the nerd thread. :biggrin:

Couldn't anyone revive the nerds thread at any time?

Someone could, but someone bringing a dead thread back to the top rarely rejuvenates the thread; it's just dragging a corpse around then. Now we know, it has to be dead for a 5 day count to truly be dead. I think that's a reasonable time. Sort of how boxers need to be down for a 10 count, or wrestlers pinned for a 3 count, a thread must be down for a 5 count (of days).

Good day to everyone. Since we are now discussing movies, I thought maybe we could kill this thread with discussion of -- Darn there goes one of those MIH bugs STOMP! CRUNCH! -- Hey, I wonder if MIH knows that MIH bugs have the same initals? -- Anyway, I was thinking if we discussed really bad ones, we could kill the thread (or the stench might at least drive away the MIH bugs). :biggrin:

What do you think, have we really pissed off Bart yet?

Anyway, I would like to begin with the "Royal Tenenbaums," a meandering, self important putrid stinking pile of green grass growing waste of time and talent. I hated every character, was way ahead of the plot, disgusted by the premise, and didn't care for the direction. It was sicker than Bart's description of this thread. :biggrin:

How about you guys? What movie did you hate? I don't mean ones that are so bad they are funny, like "Plan 9 From Outer Space" or "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes," I like them.

I was trying to think of a word to describe Bart, catatonic came to mind.

Merriam Webster
Main Entry: cat·a·ton·ic
Pronunciation: -'tä-nik
Function: adjective
1 : of, relating to, being, resembling, or affected by schizophrenia characterized especially by a marked psychomotor disturbance that may involve stupor or mutism, negativism, rigidity, purposeless excitement, and inappropriate or bizarre posting
Don't know how accurate the first part is, but the second part seems right. Oh, sorry, that's bizarre posturing, well, that may be true too. :tongue2:

Just teasing Bart. :biggrin:

I'll have no chance if my connection stays so slow though...someone must be mucking about with servers! :grumpy:

[dextercioby]

30 second minimum between posts. I ran into it when I was trying to rapid-fire post for the 1000th reply. It nearly cost me that reply! :grumpy:

I think I'm getting too grumpy, better throw in some other smilies. :rofl: :biggrin: :smile: :cool:

I think at this rate 2000 will be impossible to plan.

It's post 2000. The only ruling is common sense--the post numbered 2000. Dexter wins unless someone deletes posts.

[mattmns]

So who is up for 3k tonight?

[dextercioby]

franz won this one! 2000th reply. Congrats franz, it was a good battle. :biggrin:

Bull****,he's had REPLY #2000.I've had post #2000. :grumpy: :tongue:

Daniel.

[franznietzsche]

What happens if I go back and delete 4 of my previous posts? :devil:

Oh well, franz will likely need a get out of banning free card more than I will. :biggrin:

Probably? Is there any doubt about it?

[Bartholomew]

I think I'm feeling in the mood for deleting psts.

[Bartholomew]

You're right dexter you do have the victory... FOR NOW

[dextercioby]

We have our winners, the phone lines are now closed.

Franzy is official winner with the 2000th reply, Dex is the 2000th post.

Perhaps we can make both categories winners?

Of course.

Daniel.

[Evo]

Funny, 45 minutes ago it looked like this thread wouldn't hit 2000 for another day or two.

Good job men!!!!! :approve:

[mattmns]

Yeah Bart, delete 2 of them for me plz :smile:

Ok we got to 2000, time for dinner, cya'll

[Moonbear]

We have our winners, the phone lines are now closed.

Franzy is official winner with the 2000th reply, Dex is the 2000th post.

Perhaps we can make both categories winners?

Might as well. How about 2000th post is second place? Instead of a get out of banning free card, Dex can have a get out of a warning free card. :biggrin:

[dextercioby]

So who is up for 3k tonight?

I am.

Daniel.

[Bartholomew]

MATT DONT GO YET!! what if I DELETE posts...

[Moonbear]

Funny 45 minutes ago it looked like this thread wouldn't hit 2000 for another day or two.

Good job men!!!!! :approve:

And women. :grumpy: If we hadn't helped, they'd have taken a whole 10 seconds longer to get there. :rofl:

[dextercioby]

Might as well. How about 2000th post is second place? Instead of a get out of banning free card, Dex can have a get out of a warning free card. :biggrin:

Agree.No more warnings.I have 4 already. :yuck:

Daniel.

[Bartholomew]

[dextercioby]

MATT DONT GO YET!! what if I DELETE posts...

Daniel.

[Bartholomew]

Knowumsaying!!!??

[dextercioby]

It doesn't actually work.


He can delete his own posts,only.

Daniel.

[Moonbear]

It's STUPID bout 2001th psot mattering... THATS NOT NORMAL ITS MUTATED WARTY IDEA

Nope, it's the 2000th reply. :approve: Sort of like the new millenium started in 2001. See? :biggrin:

[Bartholomew]

DEX YOU DO WIN if YOU GOT POST # Two Thousand FOR NOW

[franznietzsche]

And women. :grumpy: If we hadn't helped, they'd have taken a whole 10 seconds longer to get there. :rofl:

No you can't remove a post, you can only delete what is in it.

[dextercioby]

Nope, it's the 2000th reply. :approve: Sort of like the new millenium started in 2001. See? :biggrin:

Tha analogy is weak & it's to my advantage.2000-nd year was 2000.

Daniel.

[Bartholomew]

YES YOU CAN remove a post FRANZ

[Moonbear]

He can delete his own posts,only.

Daniel.

I thought the delete feature was deactivated. Anyway, the results are already officially recorded, so it would only show him to be a cheater in front of everyone.

[dextercioby]

Nope,you can delete it altogether.

Daniel.

[Bartholomew]

HEY WANT ME TO DO IT franz if YOU DONT SAY NO IN TWO MINS... im gonna DELETE A POST

That would be a PATHETIC gesture. :yuck:

how about you just leave the record alone?

Doesn't matter much when we have evo and moon bear, and me and dex all discussing wht it really was, your attempt to falsify the record is very Bush-esque.

[Moonbear]

Nope,you can delete it altogether.

Daniel.

Have you tried it recently?

[Evo]

[dextercioby]

I have 332 posts in this thread :surprised:

Daniel.

[Bartholomew]

OK I deelete POST!!! now EVO... UNDELETE!!!!

[dextercioby]

SOMEBODY IS DELETING POSTS!!!IDIOTS!!!

Daniel.

[Moonbear]

Hmmm...it does work. I really had to find out for myself. I thought deleting was deactivated at the same time editing was put on a time limit. Go figure. And it does renumber the posts after it (wasn't sure if the numbering would be preserved to show something was missing).

Live and learn.

Edit: Since someone else seems to be trying it, for the record, I only deleted the one I posted saying I was going to delete it and nothing that would affect the results for the 2000th post or reply!

[dextercioby]

OK I deelete POST!!! now EVO... UNDELETE!!!!

I can delete posts,too... :tongue2:

It's just bull****,so it's basically nothing lost for humanity.

Daniel;

Mine doesn't need to be undeleted. It doesn't affect the outcome of anything and was only posted to test the delete function.

I don't think that gets around the time limit. I think that's how I discovered it the first time, trying to post in multiple threads too soon after one another. It's probably there to keep bots and spammers out.

(I have to say though, I always laugh when talking about bots, because I'm far more familiar with the concept of bot flies that farm animals get infested with...gross, disgusting, nasty things with larvae that grow in the sinuses! :yuck:)

Bots sounds much better than slurping spiders,huh???

Daniel.

[Moonbear]

Ummm....it's a tie. Actually, bot flies are much worse than spiders. For some reason, spiders don't phase me at all if they are in a barn, I just don't like them in my house. I guess I'm territorial. :rofl:

He's Brad Pitt's character in the movie Fight Club. Very popular movie here, and a bit of a mind screw. I happen to be watching it right now.

[mattmns]

MB, I think you are right.

[Bartholomew]

http://www.qwantz.com/index.pl?comic=454 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mattmns]

Yeah, none of these are good.

[Bartholomew]

I have a theory about humor--it's like music. You like what you get used to, and if someone plays something unexpected from a genre you've never heard before, you'll probably hate it and think it sounds bad. But then if you listen to it 20 times, say... you start to get it.

[mattmns]

That is quite true about music. And, you may be right, it may even hold true for comics.

[Bartholomew]

http://www.qwantz.com/index.pl?comic=448

[Moonbear]

That is quite true about music. And, you may be right, it may even hold true for comics.

I don't think so. No matter how many Bart links to, they're still bad.

Bart, one link to the site was enough. If anyone was interested, they could follow the "next" and "previous" links to see the other comics.

[Bartholomew]

http://www.qwantz.com/index.pl?comic=447

Moonbear, you yourself have stated you won't pursue a comic if you don't think the first few are funny.

[Bartholomew]

http://www.qwantz.com/index.pl?comic=446

This one is interesting.

[Moonbear]

http://www.qwantz.com/index.pl?comic=447

Moonbear, you yourself have stated you won't pursue a comic if you don't think the first few are funny.

So what makes you think I'm going to keep following all the links you're posting? It's not even a little amusing anymore. Sorry, but there is truly nothing funny in those comics. They are just whiney.

[Bartholomew]

That last one really captures the flavor of the comic.

[mattmns]

I agree, most of those comics are bad, imo. I meant that if one saw tons of them, s/he may begin to like them, not that you or I will.

[Moonbear]

http://www.qwantz.com/index.pl?comic=446

This one is interesting.

How is that interesting? That's it, I'm not following any more of your links. There wasn't any punchline, no satire, it was totally flat and humorless.

But, maybe we can get the dinosaur to stomp on the men in hats, that I might laugh at. :devil:

[Bartholomew]

If you expect a punchline, you're not always going to get it, and that's not the point of these.

Satire, yes. Did you understand the idea behind that one?

[Moonbear]

Yes, I understood...dinosaurs talking about living forever, art as a form of immortality. It still isn't funny. And that quote running over the top of the panels broken up in such a strange way is distracting without adding anything to the humor of the comic. The quote was mildly amusing, but there was no reason to split it across multiple panels and it held no relationship to the comic and just a quote, so not the original work of the artist anyway.

[Bartholomew]

http://www.qwantz.com/index.pl?comic=435

[Bartholomew]

As I thought, moonbear, you didn't get it. The quote was the entire point of the comic. Read it again and figure it out... or else I'll have to explain it to you.

[Moonbear]

If I have to think that hard about a lame comic, then I'm not interested.

[Bartholomew]

If you have to think that hard, perhaps it's not a lame comic.

[Bartholomew]

http://www.qwantz.com/index.pl?comic=433

[Bartholomew]

http://www.qwantz.com/index.pl?comic=432

[Bartholomew]

Okay, I'll explain it to you: the point of the comic I said was "interesting" is that art's value is tied to its culture, as illustrated by how old black-and-white films don't carry the same meaning today that they did when made; so immortality by art is a fool's game. True or not (I'd say it's partly true), when presented as a comic, in that format... it's interesting.

[Moonbear]

If you have to think that hard, perhaps it's not a lame comic.

Who wants to spend a long time analyzing a comic to find the humor in it? Okay, just this once, I'll humor you. You can go ahead and explain it, but if there's nothing more to it than the contrast between dinosaurs, which are extinct (and a quote about the past being gone), and a dinosaur talking about living forever through art, I'm...hmmm...I'll....I'm thinking...I'm going to have to get the PF Sisters to help me with a suitably evil punishment for you, maybe get Tsu in here to help me torture you properly. :devil:

[Bartholomew]

Already explained it.

[Moonbear]

Okay, I'll explain it to you: the point of the comic I said was "interesting" is that art's value is tied to its culture, as illustrated by how old black-and-white films don't carry the same meaning today that they did when made; so immortality by art is a fool's game. True or not (I'd say it's partly true), when presented as a comic, in that format... it's interesting.

I think you're reading WAY more into that than is there. Have you watched black and white films? They're still great and they still have the same meaning.

[Bartholomew]

You can disagree with it, and I don't agree entirely, but that's clearly the point of the comic. When someone breaks a quote up like that, you know it's important, and that's the way it's relevant.

[Bartholomew]

The quote just stated that old films do not carry the same meaning today; saying that is not "reading into it" at all. The only real reading to do is relating the quote to the comic, and there's only one good way to do that.

[Bartholomew]

If you think that Dinosaur Comics is not the kind of comic to go into that kind of depth, read some of those I've linked to since... or just read this one (http://www.qwantz.com/index.pl?comic=426).

explanation of it in white (read it first)
Hopefully you didn't read the last panel until you got to the last panel. The humor is that as the strip begins the characters speak pretty "left-brain-sounding," responding to ideas solely on the basis of the idea, which is unlike the way people talk normally but--here's the point--is the style of the strip. Then you get to the last panel and you find that the idea of the strip and most of its material is straight out of a textbook. It makes you do a double-take: at first you thought the strip was proceeding as the others, and then you suddenly realize it had a completely different focus. Not terribly funny--tone in keeping with the rest of the strip, in fact--but I think the explanation was needed.

[Evo]

The quote just stated that old films do not carry the same meaning today; saying that is not "reading into it" at all. The only real reading to do is relating the quote to the comic, and there's only one good way to do that.Films that were trendy in their day of course will seem outdated now. But there are "classic" films, true "art" if that's what you want to call it that will forever be as meaningful and poignant as the day they were made.

[Moonbear]

The quote just stated that old films do not carry the same meaning today; saying that is not "reading into it" at all. The only real reading to do is relating the quote to the comic, and there's only one good way to do that.

Nope, the quote actually refers to the fact that films are the best medium for preserving history.

See this site about the book the quote came from to better understand the meaning of the quote:
http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog/ROSVIS.html

[Moonbear]

If you think that Dinosaur Comics is not the kind of comic to go into that kind of depth, read some of those I've linked to since... or just read this one (http://www.qwantz.com/index.pl?comic=426).

There's nothing redeeming about them. So, the artist is showing off that he's read books. Big deal. There's no humor, they aren't satire, they just state fact, and not even anything novel or interesting or put into a different perspective than what anybody would already know. There's no hook, just someone lecturing through the medium of a cartoon dinosaur.

Films that were trendy in their day of course will seem outdated now. But there are "classic" films, true "art" if that's what you want to call it that will forever be as meaningful and poignant as the day they were made.

Now, that would have made for good satire, to suggest using art as a medium for attaining immortality with a contrast to an obscure, trendy "artist" who has been long since forgotten. But, using reference to classic black and white films, which are long-enduring and truly have immortalized those within them, fails to be satirical.

[Bartholomew]

I posted an explanation of that one too in the post I linked to it in.

Whatever the main topic of the book was, the fact is that that quote was about how when we see old films, we are peculiarly aware of the things their culture lacked in comparison to ours. The author's overall thesis may have concerned film as a historical record, but in that particular quote he makes the point that as an artistic medium our views of it change. In any case, the comic creator selected that quote to use alone; he did not expect us to be familiar with the book it came from, and meant the quote for what it actually said.

[Bartholomew]

Look, you can argue against it all you like; one man's satire is another man's unconvincing jumble. The fact remains that it was intended as satire, and so it is.

It would not have been so good if it merely poked fun at forgotten artists, because who is to say that T Rex would become one of those? Perhaps he would, perhaps not. But to point out the fickleness of even a medium as relatively immortal as film is to make a point that would apply to any of T Rex's artistic endeavors.

And film Is changeable, as in the quote. We do see it differently from those who saw it first.

Bart, give it up. You don't need to link to every comic on the site. You've made your point, whether anyone agrees or not, and linked to more than enough of the comics for anyone who is interested. Try something new, like actually conversing.

[Bartholomew]

http://www.qwantz.com/index.pl?comic=413 Now here's one even I can't figure out. It starts out relevant to your banana-seat-bike episode, but then... I don't know. (if you haven't read so many of these comics, the voice coming from the sky is God)

[Bartholomew]

Oh, it was a guest cartoonist. That's probably why... still don't get it though.

[Bartholomew]

Yeah, you're right, moonbear, this is getting old... or else it's just getting late. So, in parting,


Overwhelming, massive force--the giant hand of God--pulls impurity out of you like a fine net catches the scum out of pondwater. Your body becomes transparent and clear.


A vast, warm light passes through you like through a raindrop.


Basking in the light, You feel a great weight lift off your shoulders. You want to take a deep breath. You feel loose.


You feel surrounded by warmth and prayer as you relax into God's love.

You already posted that. Is it your original work, or are you planning on citing the author of it?

No,Artman,300 useless posts you've been missing...It's not your thread.It's still undecided.

[mattmns]

Pff Artman's thread, please. As Dex said, you missed about 300 posts. You were not even in the running for the 2000, what a disgrace. You should just turn your head and leave here in shame :Smile:

[dextercioby]

I posted #2000...:approve:

P.S.I'm so happy.

[Moonbear]

Besides, it was my thread for hours. I was stuck listening to Bart all night about his Dinosaurs now (they've managed to squash most of the MIH bugs though). The poor thread would have been committing suicide if left alone with those comics.

P.S.Keep'em off my thread.

[Bartholomew]

No, moonbear, I have not already posted that. Yes, it is my creation. I've altered it slightly from the first time I posted it in a way that I think makes it better.

[Moonbear]

Considering the original is 100s of posts back, I wasn't going to compare word for word, but it sounded similar. I've never had much of a taste for poetry. Nothing wrong with poetry, just not my cup o' tea. I assume that's what it was meant to be. I guess it's like taste in art. I can appreciate some poetry with clear meter and rhyme; probably appeals to my left brain more than my right brain. When it's free verse, I just don't get it. I think it's the way some people enjoy paintings that contain realism and follow geometric principles in perspective, but just don't see anything in abstract art, though I do appreciate the humor in dadaism.

[Moonbear]

What does the avatar mean...?Is it a cat there?

Daniel.

Yeah, unfortunately it's hard to see detail in a tiny avatar. It's a kitten with a rifle. :biggrin: I just thought it was too cute to not make into an avatar, especially while I'm trying to kill a thread.

Moonbear, you see the "humor in dadaism"? That's amazing... dadaism is a school of art that grew out of WWI and is concerned with meaninglessness.

[Moonbear]

Moonbear, you see the "humor in dadaism"? That's amazing... dadaism is a school of art that grew out of WWI and is concerned with meaninglessness.

It was the artists essentially thumbing their noses at the art critics by purposely creating what they considered junk and laughing at the art critics and afficionados who were paying large amounts of money to buy "junk." It was never meant to be art. It's a great practical joke! :rofl:

[Bartholomew]

No, which they did through random art containing no intended meaning. Personally I like the idea, though all I've ever known about it was a blurb in a textbook 5 years ago and a Wikipedia article just now.

[Bartholomew]

It's not a joke at all, it's a very serious endeavor. Dadaists believed that life is random and meaningless and tried to create "anti-art"--junk, but no more meaningless than anything else.

[Artman]

No, which they did through random art containing no intended meaning. Personally I like the idea, though all I've ever known about it was a blurb in a textbook 5 years ago and a Wikipedia article just now.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dadaism

Dadaism is based in nihilism and cynicism.

[Artman]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dadaism

Dadaism is based in nihilism and cynicism.Although they didn't really consider it a movement, they created some manefestos. This is from the first manefesto:

1. Dada is international in perspective and seeks to bridge differences, 2. Dada is antagonistic toward established society in the modern avant-garde, Bohemian tradition of the épater-le-bourgeios posture, and 3. Dada is a new tendency in art that seeks to change conventional attitudes and practices in aesthetics, society, and morality."
Dada manefesto (http://www-camil.music.uiuc.edu/Projects/EAM/Dadaism.html)

Have you seen any of their "works." Such as the found object installation turning a urinal upsidedown. It didn't look like a urinal so just calling it art was sarcastic and incongruous. Look at some of the works.

[Moonbear]

Dada began as an anti-art movement, in the sense that it rejected the way art was appreciated and defined in contemporary art scenes. Founded in Zurich, Switzerland, the movement was a response to World War I. It had no unifying aesthetic characteristics but what brought together the Dadaists was that they shared a nihilistic attitude towards the traditional expectations of artists and writers. The word Dada literally means both "hobby horse" and "father", but was chosen at random more for the naive sound. What After finding its origins in Zurich, the Dada movement spread the Berlin, Cologne, Hanover, Paris, some parts of Russia, and New York city.
http://wwar.com/masters/movements/dadaism.html

The artists were generally fed-up with critics finding meaning in their work that wasn't there, so started to create junk. The entire point was to prove that people will find meaning even in something without meaning. And sure enough, people found meaning in it. The works they created had no intentional meaning. They slapped random things togethether with no thought, intended it to be ephemeral and to just prove a point to the critics, which clearly has been proven as it has not been ephemeral. That it is listed in art history texts as a style of art with some deep meaning is what makes it so funny.

[Moonbear]

Here's an even better site with a more thorough explanation of the Dada movement.
http://www.localcolorart.com/encyclopedia/Dadaism/

An anti-art movement?

According to its proponents, Dada was not art; it was anti-art. For everything that art stood for, Dada was to represent the opposite. Where art was concerned with aesthetics, Dada ignored them. If art is to have at least an implicit or latent message, Dada strives to have no meaning--interpretation of Dada is dependent entirely on the viewer. If art is to appeal to sensibilities, Dada offends. Perhaps it is then ironic that Dada is an influential movement in Modern art. Dada became a commentary on art and the world, thus becoming art itself.

Essentially, yes, the artists had a message, but the works they were displaying did not have any meaning. Taking those works and now displaying them as art is pretty much the equivalent of going out and collecting picket signs made by protestors and framing them as art. They are intended to send a message, but the sign itself is not meant as a work of art with any inherent value or meaning. If you want to read meaning into it, you can, but you fall into the very trap the Dada movement was protesting. Some things are not meant to have deeper meaning. The artists had a sense of humor in the way they protested and I enjoy that humor.

[Artman]

My comments are based on my own viewing of Dadaist works. Such things as the objects they chose, the titles they gave them, their own comments on their work. For instance, Marcel Duchamp sent his Large Glass installation called "The Bride Stripped Bare by her Suiters" to a show. It was cracked in transit. He said something to the effect of, "It is now complete." (I can't find the exact reference, and I'm too lazy to keep looking), seems like more of a sarcastic distain for order then a desire for nothingness. The piece includes some elaborate painting within the glass panels. Again, incongruity, especially in light of his reaction to the crack.

[Moonbear]

Oh, I remember learning about that in art history. It's one of the reasons I loved learning about Dadaism so much, especially after spending so much time finding all the symbolism in iconic Rennaissance paintings, and wondering if the artists really put all those symbols there on purpose or if we were just reading too deeply into it, it was so refreshing to hear even the artists themselves got tired of it. :rofl:

So anyway, I think that while the Dadaists were attempting to remove conscious thoughts of art in the creation of their art, they still seemed to use very deliberate choices to emphasise their dislike of contemporary art society.

Okay, so back to the thread... Not only have I become a PF addict, but also I think I may be a dreaded "thread killer" --that's right—not just a “thread hijacker,” but an outright killer! How can I be sure? Acknowledgement is the first step in the 12-step program I hope...

[Bartholomew]

Moonbear, if the history books, encyclopedia articles, etc. generally say that dadaism springs from universal disillusionment and nihilism as products of WWI, don't you think that might give you a hint?

I think that what the Dadaists did just seems so strange to you that you can't accept that they weren't kidding.

Nihilism means no final values at all. Dadaist art, according to the nihilist Dadaists, is no more or less junk than anything else at all. They would not come to your conclusion that "haha, the million-dollar art is worthless, what a joke!" because to them everything is worthless.

Bart, I took an art history class. That's where I learned what I learned, not from a paragraph or two on websites. The Dadaists themselves have stated this. If you dig beyond the websites that all have essentially the same canned text, you'll find that what I'm saying is based on the Dadaists own statements.

[Moonbear]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A156494
Dada quickly spread to Paris, Berlin, and even across the Atlantic to New York City. Dada ranted and railed against conventionally accepted aspects of society, challenging the status quo and questioning authority.

Nothing was sacred! Everything was mere fodder for Dadaist questioning and ridicule. Common objects, normally taken for granted, were often praised as artistic triumphs and practically worshipped, before being ripped to shreds and stomped on before a live audience of confused and bewildered people. Artists such as Man Ray, Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, and Hans Arp were just a few of those who moulded and shaped Dada into something quite perversely erotic.

Dada can be seen as a series of socio- patrio- psychologic- anarcho- materialistic experimental... things. Sometimes Dada artists would do something not to create art, but to instigate art in the audience. A bonfire of all the art created that night might be an example. Artists, after allegedly slaving over grandiose works of art and presenting them to the audience, would start a large fire and throw their works of art into the fire, just to see what the audience would do, if anything. Spontaneity and improvisation were the order of the day. Dada artists would break barriers by acting first and thinking later, taking their audience hostage or threatening to mow them down with farming equipment, for example.

Dadaism actually seems like a great theme to go along with this thread! :rofl:

[Bartholomew]

You may have taken an art history class, but it's clear from talking to you that you are not experienced in interpreting art. Case in point, the issue with that Dinosaur Comics comic. Other case in point, your own admission that you do not enjoy art in general.

You start coming up with quotes from these people and you may begin to make a case; however, bear in mind that if you do so successfully, you're still only picking and choosing which quotes to use. For every quote about dadaism as humor, I'd guess there are 10 quotes about dadaism as nihilism, and probably 100 quotes about dadaism as nihilism if you account for the fact that the quotes about humor would sound more "interesting" and be more likely to be recorded.

[Bartholomew]

So how many quotes would convince me? You provide 5 quotes from 3 different major Dadaists that indicate Dadaism is meant as a joke on critics, and I'll agree with you that tricking critics is a legitimate part of Dadaism. That sounds fair to me.

[Moonbear]

I never said I don't enjoy art in general. I said I don't enjoy poetry in general. I don't claim to be greatly experienced in interpreting art. There is no interpretation required in describing the purpose behind a movement.

Go look up your own quotes if you want more. All the links I've provided support my statements, you're misinterpreting the nihilism statements. They were anti-art movements. I'm just in the business of thread-killing here.

Well, the site is utterly worthless. But the Manifesto is not, and after reading much of it I must admit that Dadaism--at least as envisioned by that author--is more whimsical than I had supposed. There is, however, no "joke on critics" who view Dadaism as great art--the intended joke is on those who view other art as great art.

"Kunst ist schei*se" Dadaist motto :rofl:

[Moonbear]

But nonetheless, a joke.

http://www.artfacts.net/index.php/pageType/newsInfo/newsID/2255
Jokes and novelties Hoax? Mystification? Conceptualism crisis? The last exhibition of the New York Swiss Institute and its radical curatorial concept which is to show only minimally sized or unimportant artworks in the large space of the location is pretty disconcerting and questioning. The institute which has recently been acclaimed as one of the most innovative and creative platforms in terms of contemporary art exhibitions in New York will probably live up its reputation thanks to the care of John Armleder who was named curator of this Christmas exhibition. The Geneva troublemaker has urged about forty international artists, among them the Americans John Tremblay and Richard Artschwager, the French Xavier Veilhan, the Italian Maurizio Cattelan, the Swiss Sylvie Fleury and Olivier Mosset to cover in a very discreet way the emptiness of the Swiss Cultural Center halls of Broadway until January the 15th. Definitely Dada, the project can be seen as a joke, a slap in the face of the artworld, but also as a homage and a reflection on the curatorial handling and conceptual art. Armleder puts forward an immaterial vision of art and called unreasonably well-known artists to show works that can only be imagined by the audience. This exhibition is not the product of a spoilt child though. With subtlety, Armleder turn away the meaning of the dadaist sentence: "Everything is Art" to tell us that the nothing, or the almost nothing in this case, is still art. The Geneva artist and curator is pursuing with scholarship and a deep consciousness of the art history his exploration of the notions of sense and nonsense. This exhibition, while banishing the concrete and tangible artworks, is appealing for a sixth sense which might be called imagination...

Maybe someday I'll explain the biggest joke of all this. :rofl:

Alright, since this seems to be frustrating you too much, I don't want this to turn into a cruel joke...it is a joke though.

[Bartholomew]

Dada is about nihilism, not "nothing," and if you think you're being clever by saying that, you're only deluding yourself. If you think you're "getting even" by making a huge screaming deal out of a historical point on which you were not completely right, you're nuts. The most interesting connection that is hard to believe you are missing is the key feature of Surrealism which is also the key feature of Dadaism on which it is founded is the key tenet of my art.

I actually kind of liked this one. :yuck: It's sort of appropriate to this thread.

:biggrin:

I stopped following Bart's links a while ago. Are just the normal thread-killers around now?

I stopped following Bart's links a while ago.It's actually a oneliner that is kind of darkly funny.

[Moonbear]

Woo hoo, someone who understands the meaning of conversation!

[Moonbear]

It's actually a oneliner that is kind of darkly funny.

You're right! Heh, what do you know, he found something funny. Though, much easier to follow the link once you made it a more click-able size!

Actually, the title was as funny as the comic..."Because serial killers are people too." Heh heh. :tongue2:

Since we are trying to prove we kill multiple threads, does that mean we are thread serial killers?

And, more importantly, if a serial killer kills two people at the same time, does that make him (or her) a parallel killer? :confused: :biggrin:

Bart is a thread killer Dadaist. :biggrin:

[Moonbear]

Bart is a thread killer Dadaist. :biggrin:

:rofl: I think, if you're a purist, you're supposed to say he's a Dada thread killer. Those who produced Dada didn't like -ists and -isms. I was laughing last night when I came across instructions for making a Dada poem, written by Tzara. I'm not sharing that one, might need to reserve that for the sprint to the finish line on this thread.

Does your nickname have anything to do with an appreciation of art, or is it Art as in the shorter version of Arthur?

[Moonbear]

And, more importantly, if a serial killer kills two people at the same time, does that make him (or her) a parallel killer? :confused: :biggrin:

:rofl: :rofl: I like that! I want to be a parallel killer! Being a serial killer just isn't very original anymore. :rofl:

[Bartholomew]

On my screen (14 posts/page) one of my posts got bumped to the previous page after I edited it. post # 2295.

[Bartholomew]

I disagree with the spirit of Dadaism although its basic tenet is okay. I favor Surrealism. Most of my posts here however are not based on those ideas.

[Artman]

Does your nickname have anything to do with an appreciation of art, or is it Art as in the shorter version of Arthur?I'm a professional level artist by several criteria. Most artists can't make a living at it, so there are different criteria for determining professional status: make your living selling artwork, attended an art school for more than two years, sold more than $2000.00 worth of art works in a year (I think that's the amount), won an award in a National art show, included in state or national juried exhibition. These are a few that I remember.

I've done several of them. Attended art school for three years, sold more than $2000.00 worth in one year, included in state and national juried shows. So yeah, I've had about two years of art history in school and personal study for about 40 years. :tongue:

[Artman]

I favor Surrealism.Me too. I know you're not really a Dada thread killer, but you do seem to be a surreal one. :biggrin:

[Bartholomew]

You know, Van Gogh would not have qualified as an artist by those criteria.

Cool! :cool: I have nearly zero artistic talent myself, but have acquired an appreciation for it. Taking that one art history class made such a huge difference in my ability to really appreciate all the different genres of art. I always had a preference for sculpture and pottery and used to whiz right past any paintings because they were "just another picture." After taking the class, I find I can really enjoy those so much more, finding the symbolism and just better understanding what the artist is trying to convey.

Unfortunately, my taste in art exceeds my ability to afford it. I was at the summer art fair in Ann Arbor, MI a few years ago (when I lived there, there was no way to avoid it, but I went back once again after moving too), and was thinking I might actually purchase something now that I have a house and an empty wall where I would like to display something. As I was walking past the booths on the street, one painting really caught my attention and I just loved it, so squeezed my way past the crowd to get a closer look and see what the price was on it. :eek: Right next to the tag with the very high price was the blue ribbon indicating it was the first place winner in the juried competition. :bugeye: Well, at least I know I agree with the taste of the judges in that competition! :biggrin: But I wish my taste was a little cheaper. Needless to say, I don't own anything more expensive than a few prints (though still need to get those framed; I just can't decide on the frame I want :rolleyes:).

[Artman]

You know, Van Gogh would not have qualified as an artist by those criteria.You're right. I know a lot of people (not me) that don't think he does qualify. They cite his lack of technical skill in paint handling. Personally I love his work, but genius is hard to quantify, especially those who produce extremely original works.

[Moonbear]

You're right. I know a lot of people (not me) that don't think he does qualify. They cite his lack of technical skill in paint handling. Personally I love his work, but genius is hard to quantify, especially those who produce extremely original works.

While someone can always analyze art according to rigid technical criteria, I think it really still comes down to individual taste. Buy what you like looking at. I really want something modern/abstract for my living room, but have yet to find something that fits with what I have in mind (I don't want something that looks like an entire canvas covered in paint splatters...if I wanted that, I could have just tossed a canvas on the floor instead of a drop cloth every time I painted a room :tongue:). A lot of people wouldn't consider the type of work I'm looking for to be art at all, but it's what I like to look at in the context I want to display it.

I love surrealism, but wouldn't want to display it in the living room. It would be a bit too disturbing for the mood I want to feel in that room. Though, surrealist paintings would be great in an office setting (I really like Dali). I also enjoy the impressionist works. Though, I still retain my preference for 3-D works (sculpture, architecture). That's not for the home though, at least not what I like. :wink:

[Artman]

Here is a link to one of Greg's other sites where I have some art work displayed.

[Moonbear]

Cool, I'll go look (even if it means taking my eye off you in this thread). :biggrin:

Okay...I looked. Very nice! I think my favorite is Moonlight (especially when I realized the level of detail in the enlarged image), and my second favorite (a very close second mind you) Watkins Glen, NY. I also liked the Snow Scene photograph...makes me miss the sheep farm! :cry:

[Moonbear]

Artman, I think I just like your painting style in general. I'm entranced by Brandywine Park. I just love the way you captured that look and feel of a storm just approaching. I can almost feel the wind blowing, making the trees lean. (At least I hope that's what you were going for there, because that's what I got out of it.) I tend to like stormy scenes...not those really sharp photographs or photograph-like paintings of lightening and stuff like that, but softer paintings of swirling gray skies and storms at sea churning up the water into foam and froth. It gives the real feeling of the storm, when the rain is just beating down and the air is thick with fog, and everything looks blurred through that.

There is a threshold between the point when adjacent highly contrasting colors are loud, and when they just blend together into mud. It depends on the size of each color region; small enough and they are mud, too large and the contrast is reduced. I want to hit that threshold just on the garish side.

[Bartholomew]

You know what's a really nice color combo--light gray and red in a checkerboard. Makes you want to puke. Looks like puke.

[Bartholomew]

I think puke is very artistic. It is composed of food, which sustains all life, together with gastric juices-, which as they persistently digest food, symbolize mankind's struggle to cope with his surroundings. But this struggle is too often hidden, like puke is hidden away in the stomach most of the time; art's job is to bring that struggle out, and what better way to symbolize that than physically and actually vomiting? I wonder what's the largest quantity of puke that has ever been concentrated in one place at one time.

tribdog is having problems with his dial-up connection. He barely got through with a message to let me know this. Poor guy is probably going through some serious PF withdrawal!

Franz was on last night. He's probably still celebrating his birthday today! :biggrin: Actually he sounded like he was pretty busy with schoolwork. All that time to play around, and they swamp him with work in time for his birthday. It's just not fair, is it? That's what he gets for turning 18 and becoming an adult...no time off for birthdays anymore. :frown:

[Math Is Hard]

"Math is Hard" comes from a short-lived Mattel product known as Teen Talk Barbie, a talking Barbie Doll that generated a violent backlash from the feminist community. Teen Talk Barbie spouted vacuous phases like "Math class is hard" and "Let's go shopping". Several culture-jamming posses evolved in reaction to this toy, and staged media attention grabbing stunts like swapping Barbie's voice electronics with the one in a popular G.I. Joe model at the time and replacing both items on the shelves. IIRC, delighted and surprised little girls got to hear their new Barbies exclaim "Eat lead, Cobra!" while confused little boys were stunned to hear their burly G.I. Joes sigh "Let's plan our dream wedding."

[mattmns]

Thanks, I now understand the reference. I did not think it was that simple. I think there was an episode of the simpsons that was somewhat similar.

MB will probably thank you as well: Mainly for getting off the topic of my penis :rofl:

Somehow I've lived my whole life oblivious to the talking version of Barbie...and that's probably a good thing.

Yes, I believe that Simpson's episode was heavily influenced by the "Barbie liberation" groups.

Anyway, back to matt's penis...

[mattmns]

Yeah so I am thinking that since I have a thing for girls with glasses, I could swap out her glasses with another pair that have really magnified lenses. At least until I can afford an operation :smile:

[Moonbear]

Yeah so I am thinking that since I have a thing for girls with glasses, I could swap out her glasses with another pair that have really magnified lenses. At least until I can afford an operation :smile:

Well, you'd be out of luck with me. I don't wear glasses other than sunglasses (nope, no contacts either). :tongue2: With me, what you see is what you get. I never even wore braces. My teeth aren't perfect, but it seemed only my mom was concerned about that and not me, so when she wanted to drag me off to the orthodontist, I refused and told her I was fine the way I was. How often do you hear a teenager making a statement like that? (Though, all my friends had glasses, and I really did want those because I actually liked the look of them!) :rolleyes:

[mattmns]

Do not worry: My thing for women with glasses has been going down over the past few years.

I have always wanted to wear glasses; however, my vision is too good. It is probably a good thing I guess: I would probably look like an ultra nerd with glasses.

[Moonbear]

I would probably look like an ultra nerd with glasses.

Is that as opposed to just a regular or super nerd? :tongue2:

Ooh, I like that idea...It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's Super Nerd! Can build networks faster than a speeding bullet and leaps over slide rules in a single bound! :biggrin:

Evo, do you realize how young you look with your glasses on? If I didn't already know your approximate age, I'd think you were still a teenager from that photo!

Well, I've already admitted I like the look of glasses. Maybe it's the studious stereotype that goes with it that makes people immediately look smarter if they have glasses on. :rolleyes:

Gives Moonbear eternal immunity from banishment. :biggrin: I thank my mother for keeping me covered from head to toe whenever I went outside as a child. I looked like a freak then, and was shunned by everyone, but I have no wrinkles now. :tongue:

edit: Those are my new trifocals...vision does get worse as you get older. :frown:

[JasonRox]

Awww, thanks. :shy: I noticed that I am the ONLY woman in my office that wears glasses, they all wear contacts!

Glasses are hot!

I wear fake blue eye contacts sometimes. Girls LOVE it, even if they know they're fake!!!

Note: I do know that comment might be immature, which might not be at my current status. :approve:

:rofl: Ooh, how can I use this new immunity? :devil: :rofl:

It's amazing how much of the visible signs of "aging" seems to be sun damage. I'm starting to notice some fine lines on my face, but not nearly so much as other people my age are showing. I have always had such pale skin that if I didn't slather myself in sunblock, I got burnt to a crisp (I can probably blame those few crispy episodes for the lines I am getting now).

I have always had such pale skin that if I didn't slather myself in sunblock, I got burnt to a crisp (I can probably blame those few crispy episodes for the lines I am getting now).Sun damage to skin is what causes premature aging. The child of Evo has been sunbathing for years and would not listen to me. Until recently. As of last fall she has stopped going to the tanning salon and refuses to go outside now without sunblock. She finally caught on. She saw the difference it made when you get older. :approve:

[Moonbear]

I guess it's the final revenge for us geeky bookworms who never got much sun as kids to be more wrinkle-free as adults. :biggrin:

[mattmns]

Good morning, anyone?

[Moonbear]

Good morning mattmns! How did your history studying go last night? I had the thread for a whole 9 1/2 hours! The signs all say I'm going to kill it, in the library with a candlestick. :biggrin:

[mattmns]

Good, thank you. I had a nice round of selective studying. I should be able to crank out a B.

As for you killing the thread. Yeah you probably will, I certainly know I won't be :cry:

[Moonbear]

Aww, there, there. *pats mattmns on the shoulder* There are always other threads for you to kill.

[mattmns]

Like which thread? I think I should start my own thread, and then kill it. Yeah that will get my experience up, right?

[dextercioby]

Did u miss me??I thought not.I'm back in business now.The purpose is the same:kill this thread.

Daniel.

[mattmns]

I missed you :!!)

[polyb]

Would you guys stop throwing eachother kisses and hurry up to page 200 so I can do my play by play announcement!?!

[dextercioby]

Play by what?Oh,you most mean post #3000.That's mine,i can feel it.I already have post #2000.

Daniel.

[polyb]

I've taken it upon myself to be the MC since I inadvertantly started this race with post #3. So every hundred pages I give a break announcement to do a play by play recap and commentary on who is in the lead for "Grand Master Thread Killer"!

[dextercioby]

I've posted the 1-st reply to this thread...:wink: :approve: And hope to post the last,too...:devil:

Daniel.

[mattmns]

I posted the 22nd reply to this thread, and I hope to post the 22nd to last reply to this thread.

[dextercioby]

That will b some major achivement.How many posts do you have so far?(In this thread alone).

Daniel.

[mattmns]

Is there a way to count easily? Without going through every page?

[Moonbear]

If you reduce the number of posts you view per page, you can get to 200 pages a lot faster. :tongue2:

[dextercioby]

Is there a way to count easily? Without going through every page?


The software computes for you.Just click on the left icon of this thread ihn the main GD page...It will show:"You've posted 450 times" or something like that.

Daniel.

[mattmns]

Ahh ok I see. I thought I had to click something.

I have posted 208 times in this thread, last today. About to be 209.

[Moonbear]

I guess I'll have to try that when I'm back on a computer that works properly. I tried to get this one fixed, but the IT guy looked at me rather dumbfounded when I tried to explain the weird behavior and that nothing behaves weirdly consistently enough to repeat it for him. :rolleyes: Probably time to wipe the hard drive and start over, but I dread the down time to reinstall everything.

[mattmns]

Doing a fresh install is fun. I probably did a fresh install every month or so, until recently when I started using linux. Then again I have only been on the current install for maybe a month, and I am considering doing a fresh one.

[dextercioby]

That's bs,that's waisted time,bigtime...

Daniel.

[Moonbear]

That's bs,that's waisted time,bigtime...

Daniel.

I agree, it's a last resort. Though, I suspect it may be coming to that...heh heh, if someone can locate the original disks with the OS on them. :rolleyes: The computer was purchased before I arrived here, and set up by IT guys who are no longer here, and the disks that came with it never came into my possession. If I wipe the drive, I suspect I'll be upgrading the OS at the same time (if I need to locate new disks, no point in putting the old OS back on). Actually, I think that may have a lot to do with the problems. This computer was one of the first ones that came out with both OS 9 and OS X installed. For the first year, I used OS 9, because nobody else had upgraded to be compatible with OS X yet, then when I upgraded, found that an IT guy who left had already created an administrator name and password that wasn't guessable (I have guessed them on a few other computers, but for some reason, he didn't use the same "pattern" on this one). We have no idea what it was. I don't even remember what I did, but somehow got around that and created a new administrator account and supposedly removed the original, but I think the old one is probably lurking around somewhere confusing the machine. Plus, the OS has been updated a ton of times, other software has been upgraded several times, some software has been installed and uninstalled and reinstalled and uninstalled...etc. I think its brains are fully scrambled now. Right now the problems seem to be staying confined to internet and email. I just make sure everything important is backed up to at least two other places, as I should anyway, and if it completely keels over, then it will be easy to explain the problem to the IT guy. :rolleyes:

[mattmns]

MB, you seem to be quite good at killing a thread for a few hours. As for a fresh install wasting time. Pfff, wasting time is my middle name.

[Moonbear]

Well, I'm working my way up from a few hours to a few days. What other horribly boring topics of my day can I bring up?

[mattmns]

You probably have much more interesting things to talk about than I.

[dextercioby]

I bet "Matt wasting time Whatever" sounds good...

Daniel.

[Moonbear]

Not today. I woke up, I had my coffee, checked my emails, went to work, checked my emails, got some forms signed, worked on a manuscript, lost track of time doing that, posted on PF a bit, kept writing, looked up, and it was nearly 6 pm. Decided I didn't want to sit in my office anymore, drove home, got the mail, chucked the junk, cringed at the bills, called a friend, got online, reheated some dinner, brought it over here by the computer, clicked on my bookmark for PF, and here I am again! Tomorrow I should finally have the supplies I've been waiting too long for to get myself back into the lab and doing something more enjoyable than hiding in an office all day.

[mattmns]

Woke up, had my water, checked email, checked out pf, ate some french toast, read some history, posted on pf, ate some pizza, and came back to pf. Hmm, quite a loser indeed, I am. :cry:

What am I saying. Today has been crazy! It is snowing, in New Mexico! And good too. Probably got about 2-3in already. Largest amount of snow I have ever seen here.

[Artman]

I've got a stomach virus. I haven't been able to even sit up for the past 2 days. So I decided to come in now and give the thread my germ. That ought to kill it. I'm going to go lay back down. Bye bye. :yuck:

[dextercioby]

:yuck: It's not gonna work for me,though...I'm immune to everything.

Daniel.

[Moonbear]

I already got that germ for Christmas, and then gave it to everyone else in the country...I'm generous like that. :biggrin:

[mattmns]

I have not been sick in years :tongue2:

[Math Is Hard]

happy pi day, everyone. I have not decided how to celebrate yet officially, but we did a little digit reciting earlier today up on campus.

[Moonbear]

I have not been sick in years :tongue2:

I guess some people are just carriers. :biggrin: :rofl:

[Moonbear]

happy pi day, everyone. I have not decided how to celebrate yet officially, but we did a little digit reciting earlier today up on campus.

Happy pi day to you too! It took me a minute, then I remembered what the date is. :rofl: Do you celebrate by eating pie?

[Math Is Hard]

Happy pi day to you too! It took me a minute, then I remember what the date is. :rofl: Do you celebrate by eating pie?
Actually, the math department was selling pie slices this morning, in honor of pi day. They were trying to raise money for something or other.

[mattmns]

I guess some people are just carriers. :biggrin: :rofl:
? I am not exactly sure what you mean. :confused:

[Moonbear]

? I am not exactly sure what you mean. :confused:

You know, just spreading the sickness. :tongue:

Did they charge $3.14 for a slice? :biggrin:

[mattmns]

Ahh, well I guess I did know what you meant. Just was not thinking clearly :biggrin:

Geeze it looks like everyone is celebrating pi day. I can not believe I did not leave to go celebrate it.

[Moonbear]

I cannot believe I never heard of pi day before. People are giving out pie and I missed it! :grumpy:

[Evo]

I've got a stomach virus. I haven't been able to even sit up for the past 2 days. So I decided to come in now and give the thread my germ. That ought to kill it. I'm going to go lay back down. Bye bye. :yuck:Poor Artman!!! There isn't much worse than that. <sprays lysol on the thread> :yuck:

Hope you feel better soon!!

[Chrono]

I can't believe I didn't realize it was pi day. I'll make sure and remember next year, though.

[Moonbear]

Is it too late to bake pie now? I think I have all the ingredients for pecan pie. Will that do? :biggrin:

[Chrono]

Is it too late to bake pie now? I think I have all the ingredients for pecan pie. Will that do? :biggrin:

I love pecan pie! I say go for it.

[Moonbear]

I might need some help eating it. That's a lot of sugar in one pie. :biggrin:

[Artman]

Poor Artman!!! There isn't much worse than that. <sprays lysol on the thread> :yuck:

Hope you feel better soon!!Thanks for your concern, Evo. Everyone else is talking about pie. :yuck: (Which does not sound like a good idea at this point in time.) To tell you how sick I was, I was actually having dreams about this thread. Is that weird or what? :rofl:

By the way this is what my head is doing :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:.

Have to go. Bye-bye again.

[mattmns]

You know I was having a dream about pf last night too. I think MIH sparked the whole thing. It was quite weird. It was like I was reading threads, and thinking about what to post in one, when I then woke up. However, I did not come in here to check my pm box or the forums at all, and I do not remember exactly what the thread I was reading was about. I think it was one of the sex/women threads.

That's truly sad. A young man your age should be dreaming about sex and women, not sex/women threads! :tongue2:

As for Artman, that sounds like one nasty bug. Though, I wonder if he knows he really was on posting last night. He may have been so delirious he thought he was dreaming it. :wink:

Speaking of which, has anyone heard from tribdog recently? It's been days since he's been on. Sometimes he has problems with his ISP, but this seems excessively long. (Unless he was on this morning and I haven't seen his posts yet.)

[Artman]

You know I was having a dream about pf last night too. I think MIH sparked the whole thing. It was quite weird.My eyes must be going too. I thought that said MIH spanked the whole thing. I've had that dream myself. :biggrin:

I think we all have. :tongue2:

[Moonbear]

I think we all have. :tongue2:

I haven't. :tongue2:

[kaos]

U guys are nuts.

163 pages???????

[Chrono]

I haven't. :tongue2:

I should have clarified that all of us guys have. :wink:

[Moonbear]

U guys are nuts.

Yes!!

163 pages???????

Only 122. You can increase the number of posts you view per page. :biggrin:

[Chrono]

U guys are nuts.

I only have 122.

Edit: Make that 123. This post is what did it.

EEEEEEK!!! The Spiders Are BACK!!

Who invited them this time?

(Sorry, just noticed and had to comment...the slurping was getting to me!)

[mattmns]

Spiders? I have only 62pages :smile:

[Moonbear]

I'll have to bring in the spiders more often...it seems it scared everyone away for the whole afternoon, and the kitten loved playing with them. :yuck: Well, until all the spiders are gone, I'm keeping my pants cuffs duct-taped around my ankles. No nasty spiders are crawling up my legs! *shiver*

Who's going to save me from all the nasty spiders? *spoken in best "damsel in distress" voice* :rofl:

[mattmns]

Ohh I see now. Looks like we got about 300 of them. I know I won't be saving you, *screams like a little girl* ahhh spiders!!!

Oh, wait, I know a better way to get rid of them! If we just go into this chamber of the tomb and remove this relic from the pedestal it's on, like this *removes relic*

rrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUMBLE

RUN!!!!!


*panting in small nook in the wall*
You get that big boulder to squash all the spiders.

Good thing I watched Indiana Jones a few times! :biggrin:

[Chrono]

Good thing I watched Indiana Jones a few times! :biggrin:

That'll come in handy when you have the dude who rips your heart out, leaving you still alive, and dips you into molten magma.

[Evo]

That'll come in handy when you have the dude who rips your heart out, leaving you still alive, and dips you into molten magma.Wow, pretty accurate description. Can we guarantee that he gets squashed by the boulder? :tongue2:

[Moonbear]

That'll come in handy when you have the dude who rips your heart out, leaving you still alive, and dips you into molten magma.

Oh, I think I've already met him. :tongue2: I agree with Evo, we'll just make sure he gets squashed by the boulder too! :devil:

[Evo]

Oh, I think I've already met him. :tongue2: I agree with Evo, we'll just make sure he gets squashed by the boulder too! :devil:Can we let the spiders have a go at him first? :biggrin:

[Chrono]

Can we let the spiders have a go at him first? :biggrin:

You mean you'll sacrifice the spiders? I'm sure they'll get hit by the boulder, as well.

[Moonbear]

Can we let the spiders have a go at him first? :biggrin:

*squeals with glee* I just knew those spiders would come in handy eventually! :devil: :biggrin:

You mean you'll sacrifice the spiders? I'm sure they'll get hit by the boulder, as well.No, no, they're quick. :approve:

[Chrono]

No, no, they're quick. :approve:

So, then, it's a good plan to send them. :wink:

[Moonbear]

I love the *squeals with glee*, it sounds so evil. :devil: :biggrin:

Well, it was either evil, or incredibly girly, and you know how girly I can be. :yuck:

[Moonbear]

Oh, definitely. And they make loud screeching noises, that's important. :smile:

Well, they definitely slurp. But, maybe we can get some of those grasshoppers exiled from Finland. They're pretty hopping mad.

[Evo]

Well, they definitely slurp. But, maybe we can get some of those grasshoppers exiled from Finland. They're pretty hopping mad.Oooh, a swarm of locusts is pretty devastating. Send them in! :biggrin:

[Moonbear]

Oooh, a swarm of locusts is pretty devastating. Send them in! :biggrin:

I think if I ever had the chance to go back in time, I'd want to bring along a giant can of insect spray! I would be almost guaranteed of sainthood, quite possibly even goddess status! :rofl:

Nice try! Me thinks the thread will not die so easily...YAAARGH!!!! :biggrin:

Oh well, I didn't think it would work, but it was worth a try. I think I need to tell more tales of my computer malfunctions and boring days sitting at a desk. That seemed to at least stun the thread for a while.

I found an update to download that fixed my calendar today. Now I can synchronize my calendars again! :biggrin:

Hmmm, oh, the supplies I've been waiting for finally arrived today, so I was back in the lab again and will be the rest of the week! Woo hoo! No more being chained to a desk all day (I'm a miserable person when I have nothing to do but sit at a desk and write...though it did give me a lot of time to spend on PF).

Have I bored the thread back into a coma yet?

Good Night ladies.

Well, if I didn't put the thread to sleep, it looks like I at least put mattmns to sleep. :zzz:

[Moonbear]

I wonder if this thread will make it through finals week... many regulars are pre-occupied right now.

It seems odd to me that people have finals now. I've usually taught (and went to school at) places on a semester system where finals are at the end of each semester, just before the winter break (December) and just before the summer break (May). This explains why so many students can go off and play during spring break. For me, it was always smack dab in the middle of the semester, with plenty of assignments due when we returned.

[mattmns]

Finals week already? My finals are the last week of april, or the first week of may.

[Math Is Hard]

I'm on quarter system. Franz might be, too.

[Moonbear]

I'm on quarter system. Franz might be, too.

The university here is a quarter system. I've been here a bit over 3 years and have yet to have a clue when quarters start and end (I don't have enough teaching responsibility to need to worry about exam schedules), especially when they call it quarters, but the academic year is really divided into only 3 quarters (I never counted summer since that's a break for most students). They should be called thirds.

On the other hand, the summer quarter here is about the same length as each of the other quarters, while the summer session at my undergraduate college was about the same length (end of May through end of August), but divided into two semesters, and each semester covered the same material covered in a normal semester (in other words, same material in about half the time).

[Math Is Hard]

I've been taking classes at three different schools simultaneously this winter. One class was at a semester-system school and two are at quarter-system schools. The quarter system schools have their finals about a week apart thankfully, and the other class has already wrapped, but it has been very hard to keep up with three different schedules.

Finals suck. I'm very stressed. Very tired. Plagued with awful tummy aches for two days. They wake me up in the middle of the night so not sleeping good. :frown:

I'd really like a nap now. No one's really using this thread for anything, not really, anyway - so maybe I will just curl up here and sleep for awhile. I just wish there weren't so many spiders around and Artman would quit making all that racket shooting th-- :zzz:

You made a good sweeping out yesterday, Moonbear. It is less than 80 spiders left today..:approve:

I hope we got all the eggs too. :bugeye:

[arildno]

Unfortunately, over 30 eggs have hatched since last time..:yuck:

[Moonbear]

That's what I was afraid of. There always seem to be eggs that hatch more spiders.

[arildno]

And now, about 20 have gone off (slurping together and making new eggs, I suppose..:grumpy:)

No MB, I like to get a solid 8hrs of sleep before school. I have 5 straight classes on tuesday/thursday starting at 7:30am. I would not be able to last the day if I only got a few hours of sleep.

[mattmns]

^wow, I sound really cranky there lol. Guess I really need to get to bed :smile:

I couldn't fall asleep at 8 pm if I tried! I'd just be lying in bed tossing and turning for the next 4 hours (I almost never fall asleep before midnight unless I'm sick).

No, but I like to be up for a little bit before I start school. I also eat breakfast, and usually leave at about 6:35-40ish.

LOL! It could be. Reminds me of a story some folks around here told me (it happened before I started working here). Shortly after 9/11, when everyone (okay, not everyone, but a lot of people) were running around with that mass panic attitude, someone here pulled the fire alarms and called the bomb squad in because he heard beeping coming from one of the lockers. It was nothing but a regular timer like everybody uses in the labs here that one of the students had left in their locker (if the batteries run low, they will just beep every few minutes to warn you to replace the batteries). :rolleyes: Of course it also told everyone that this guy doesn't get into his lab very often if he can't recognize the beep of a lab timer (half the time the problem is figuring out whose timer is beeping, not that it is a timer). Anyway, people love sharing that story around here. :tongue2:

And yes Moonbear BicycleTree did suggest the burning I just suggested the means to the end. And for the pryo gene found only in men i have to slightly disagree with you my Mom is a pyro (had to have the house with the fire place) and one of my exes was more of a pyro than me.

<pitchunck, plop>

There, let's see how long this thread can last without power. :devil:

That's too short. What about this...

[Moonbear]

What sort of nonsense are the two of you up to? C'mon, you can do better by this thread than that! ramollari, don't think your late entry into this is going to be good enough to take the thread killing title. If you didn't have the guts to join in from the very beginning and outlast the other competition this long, you'll never beat me! :biggrin:

I believe asbestos can be made into thread.

[Artman]

I believe asbestos can be made into thread.The Romans made tablecloths out of it. When they finished a banquet, they would throw the cloth into the fire and burn the food off, then just take it out and rinse it off. Amazing stuff. Yeah this thread could be made out of that. I wonder if this thread could develop cancer or asbestosis? Hum.

Breath deep little thread. Here, let me tear that fiber for you to inhale. o:) :devil:

[Astronuc]

I think this thread is interlaced with Kevlar. Indestructible. :biggrin:

[BicycleTree]

I wonder why things are cleaned with water instead of with fire. You could put pottery or china into a medium hot fire and it would not be damaged, and that's what most dishes are made out of. Metal utensils could also be fire-cleaned. It seems like fire would clean more effectively than water (or when used in combination). In particular it sounds convenient to have a low-heat blowtorch to clean a sink.

[Astronuc]

Well the usefulness of fire depends on temperature and composition of the combustion gases. If the fire is too hot, one can recrystallize or soften a metal. Also, if the flames are too lean (i.e. rich in oxygen), the metals may oxidize; too rich in carbon and metals will be carburized.

Metals and ceramics will also suffer from thermal fatigue. Heat up is not uniform and internal flaws will be subject to local stress concentrations. The differential stresses increase with flame temperature.

Food is a surface effect. Best just to wash it off without compromising the structural integrity of the dishes.

:biggrin:

Hey, this is PF, ya know!

In particular it sounds convenient to have a low-heat blowtorch to clean a sink.My wife brought home a cooking stone that you cook pizza, cookies, roasts, all kind of things on. To clean it, you scape it with a plastic scraper, use a little water and a paper towel (never use soap), then put it back in the still-hot oven.

[Artman]

In particular it sounds convenient to have a low-heat blowtorch to clean a sink.This reminds me of my brother inlaw. He would like a stainless steel kitchen, so he can just hose it down. :biggrin:

[Moonbear]

This reminds me of my brother inlaw. He would like a stainless steel kitchen, so he can just hose it down. :biggrin:

Hey, I wouldn't mind that either. Hmmm...add it to my list of things for my next house: stainless steel kitchen with a floor drain. :approve:

[BicycleTree]

An oven is only a few hundred degrees, and that doesn't damage stuff. You'd only need the fire to be hot enough to burn food matter--six or seven hundred degrees (Fahrenheit), say. Is there so much difference between 450 degrees and 600 degrees to a fork or cup?

[lawtonfogle]

if it is plastic it wont matter. It would be a puddle.

How about installing fire sprinklers in the kitchen so it would clean itself every night and be dry by morning.

[Astronuc]

First of all, from an energy standpoint - using hot water (say at 130°F (54°C)) would make more sense than to use an oven at 450°F (232°C) or 600°F (315°C).

As for the effect of tempertaure - lets assume the fork (cutlery) is stainless steel and the cup is something similar to whiteware ceramic. I am pretty sure 600°F (315°C) is below the recrystallization temperature, and one does not have to worry about transformations or oxidation until about 752°F (400°C).

Thermal fatigue at low temperature is not really a concern for metals, but would still be a concern for the ceramic. [I have had a cup handle break off while removing the cup from a dishwasher - mostly likely thermal cycling and fatigue damage].

Most ovens only get to about 500-550°F (260-288°C) and those temperatures will char food. And that is perhaps the key problem, some food will volatize, but the residue will char, and not be removed. In fact, a repetitive process may lead to accumulation of depositions, which then have to be scoured.

The Roman example was for asbestos where the flames 'burned' off the food. However, I imagine that there were some charred remnants.

I think it best to 'wash' the dishes with hot soapy water. :biggrin:

[BicycleTree]

Laser-clean them! I imagine a "laser box" that you would put your plates and utensils into and shut the door, then press the button and whoosh, instant surface incineration. How much power would that take?

[BicycleTree]

Any fool can see that soap and water are too slow ever to be practical.

[Artman]

Laser-clean them! I imagine a "laser box" that you would put your plates and utensils into and shut the door, then press the button and whoosh, instant surface incineration. How much power would that take?I would think time would be the key element in this method. Lasers are a very precise light, not a broad sweeping type. Perhaps microwaves would work better?

In the meantime, I'm going to place this little thread in the microwave for 15 minutes and see what happens. :biggrin:

<Places thread on a microwave safe (I think) dish, places the dish and thread in the microwave, shuts the door, sets the cook setting on HI, punches in 15:00 minutes on the cooking time and presses the SART button.>

Oooh, the thread in the microwave makes pretty colors. :cool: Oooh aaah.

[BicycleTree]

No way did this thread fit into a microwave.

[Moonbear]

No way did this thread fit into a microwave.

It's a REALLY BIG microwave, specially designed by the physicists here for the purpose of killing this thread. :approve: Though, it doesn't seem to work very well, as it's just making pretty colors, but the thread seems to still be alive and kicking in there. Darn thing seems to be making a miraculous recovery. I think I better recheck the contents of that bottle of orange liquid I injected it with...perhaps potassium overdose has opposite effects on threads as it has on people. :confused:

[Artman]

Gosh guys, don't open the microwave door while it's cooking! :yuck: And you really should just let it sit after the oven stops. :cool:

[Moonbear]

Yeah, maybe it will run out of oxygen in there if the microwaves didn't kill it. :devil:

[Artman]

Someone should go through the thread and see how many various attempts have been made on its life.

We've tried several within the past few pages alone:

Leathal injection, microwave, shutting down power and emergency power, lighting fire to its fuel source, calling it a tax cut bill, burning it...and that's just in the past few pages! Poor thread.

Wow, this thread sure has made quite a few enemies in its short life. :tongue2:

It's a pretty tough thread.

[BicycleTree]

You know, when you post that stuff in a thread, all you do is make it _think_ about "lethal injection, microwave, shutting down power and emergency power, lighting fire to its fuel source, calling it a tax cut bill, and burning it." By posting into its mind, you just make it morbid. And prepared.

[Astronuc]

Has anyone tried bio-chem warfare yet. If that doesn't work, there is the nuclear option, but watch out for MAD.

If that doesn't work, one may have to progress to anti-matter.

However, I now suspect that this thread is clever. There is nothing more sinister and enduring than a clever thread.

A bit of trivia regarding microwave radiation. To keep warm, sailors on watch would stand in front of the radar antenna. The radar (microwaves) heated their bodies in the cold ocean air.

[Artman]

Has anyone tried bio-chem warfare yet. I tried to give it my stomach virus. Time to release the gas I guess.

Here is a franks and beans dinner. <hands big plate of franks and beans through computers to all posters.> Eat up. :biggrin:

(Did you even see it's bizarre behavior earlier? It was playing hide and seek, toying with us, playing dead hoping we'd go away. Fortunately, Russ noticed it peeking when it thought we weren't looking and called its bluff.)

Uh, oh. I think Integral isn't going to give up until he "accidently" sends this thread into oblivion. :surprised

Hey Integral, maybe this thread might suddenly "disappear"? :rofl: Just a few careless "clicks" eh? :wink:

I wonder how much it would be worth to the would be killers to not have their precious thread "vanish"? :devil:

Personally, I'm running low on dark chocolate...

I was worried about you, poor little thread. Someone had you all locked up. You were probably tied and gagged, laying on a mattress in someones basement waiting for them to come and do awful, cruel, vicious, things to you.

Nope. Is the box completely filled with chocolate? And is the box itself made of chocolate? And, what kind of chocolate is it? :biggrin:

[BicycleTree]

Can chocolate be woven into flexible cloth?

[Moonbear]

Can chocolate be woven into flexible cloth?

I don't think so. Chocolate is pretty brittle when cool, and warmer it melts. If the thread was made of chocolate, I would have eaten it on the first day; it would never have survived this long.

Wow that was quick. I was just staring at gd, and I saw that you had posted last on this thread, and I thought what in the hell.

Just luck. I sensed you had posted and felt compelled to return to PF. What can I say, I've had such a long, tough day. I had a nearly 2 hour lunch as a good-bye for a visiting student, then helped her move the last of her stuff out of her apartment (a bunch of us had loaned her things so she would have some basic furnishings and cooking utensils, etc.), then back just in time for a reception, now I'm on PF, and soon will head out to dinner. Yep, really rough day. Actually, I do have stuff that needs to get done, just nothing I could get done in the small blocks of time I had today, so I will pay for it tomorrow when I have to work this weekend. :cry:

[Moonbear]

I think tribdog got off his leash again. Anyone seen him?

Nope. Last I saw him, he was in the technology forum trying to find out how to stop someone from using his computer to send spam, or something like that. He just got high speed internet recently, and apparently didn't get a firewall with it, so I think he needs to do some damage control before he'll be back.

They had what's his name, the weird basketball player with all the piercings and tattoos who posed naked for Peta (:yuck: I personally thought that was a better ad for convincing people that we needed more fur to cover people up)...Dennis Rodman...that's it...anyway, he was on the Tonight Show, talking about posing for Peta, and then started talking about going out running with the bulls! Uh huh, he's really committed to the cause. LOL!

But, um, yeah, where's Peta when you really need them? But, you have to admit, it's a great scam! If he gets the money, he's 50 grand richer, and if he doesn't get it all, nobody's going to complain if he decides it was close enough to give the little bunny a reprieve.

How long has the site been up? 19k, and it took him what, a few hours to make the site, a few bucks for the bunny, and of course the bandwidth on the site, that sounds great. *thinks of making scam websites and living easy for life*

[BicycleTree]

Who's to say that he really did get $19,000, though? Seems hard to believe to me. He might be doing that just to make his site look good.

On the other hand, browsing the site, I see that he has a store of some kind. Many (maybe all) of the products have fake pictures on them so it may be a fake store. I don't know. But if it's real that may be where he's getting his money.

Why lie about the $19,000 though? There is no real reason to. I find it more plausible that he has in fact got that money, rather than that he his faking that.

Sad news for me right now, I hope this is not true: My dad's, dad's, mom's, mom's, dad's, dad was born in Canada.

Dang! He should have set a higher limit. The Hasenpfeffer and Lapin Braise look pretty good!

I kind of like that BBQ Cafe Jr Raglan T-shirt. The "Made In USA" appeals to my patriotic side, plus the T-shirt has kind of a nice bust line. Maybe I can set the T-shirt in the corner and look at it whenever I'm feeling depressed.

Edit: Oh, that is so cute - Toby wearing a "Save Toby" T-shirt (http://www.savetoby.com/gallery/12.php)

What a great idea! I'm copying his idea and I'm working on my website, as I speak. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a rabbit. I'm going to have to settle for a "Save Penny, the Cockroach" site.

Dang! I can't believe how fast those little suckers are! You'd think if you put a cockroach on a plate full of lettuce and carrots, it would stay on the plate long enough for you to get a picture. Now I'm going to have to reach way behind the refrigerator and try to find him .... Aaagh! He has friends! Aaugh! My hand!!

Oh, wait a minute. I guess I should have read a little further:

It goes without saying — I hope — that it's unwise to take medical advice from supermarket tabloids and forwarded emails. Those who wish to increase their lifespans should try practicing common sense on a regular basis. It's more likely to help than any amount of breast ogling.

That is one thing that I've really missed in the past 2 or 3 years. Used to be, the local IDA Drugs would put their surplus 1 lb. solid chocolate bunnies on sale for $1.00. I'd buy a dozen or so, toss 'em in the freezer (yes, with the 26-year-old moose), and eat 'em all year. Then it became a Rexall, and they don't sell that kind any more. I don't like hollow bunnies--too many crumbs.

Okay, kid, I hate being serious but... been there. A few times. Age isn't a factor in it.

Been there? Very few people have been in this particular type of situation, and if you have, you, like me, deserve to be dragged out and shot in all fairness.

No, not quite actually.

I first met her, 2 1/2 years ago. I actually found her attractive on multiple levels even then. But i was seeing someone else at the time, and we just became friends. The next semester we had a philosophy class together, which was the first time i ever had any serious intellectual discussions with her. The next fall, i broke up with my then girlfriend, and about a month later started pursuing this girl. That was a year and a half ago. Like i said, bullheaded am I.

If you mean the eggs, that was Sheena's favourite, and I kind of liked it too. Not because of the taste, but because they explode when you bite them. It's sort of like sardine-flavoured pop-rocks.

For me, it isn't so much the effort as the wait! When I'm in the mood for Jell-O, I'm in the mood for it NOW, not in 2 hours after it has cooled and solidified. Even if you do the ice-cube short-cut, it still takes a while to set.

Hangovers while giving finals are nearly as bad...worse...you don't get to sit down. When I was still a grad student and a TA, there were several TAs assigned to each exam room for finals and one who was "in charge" (the one who read the instructions and made the judgement calls on handling any problems that came up). Well, the TA "in charge" had a bit too much to drink when we all went out the night before the exam to celebrate the course being over. To her credit, she did make it to the exam room, and was thrilled when I brought her a gift-wrapped bottle of Excedrin (we were good friends and I knew how she was going to be feeling). She read the instructions and then kept disappearing out of the room. We thought it best not to inform the course coordinator that she spent most of the exam in the ladies' room vomiting. We decided in future years to have the end-of-year party AFTER the final. :biggrin:

I actually saw the original real Andy do that Latka/Elvis transformation and it was incredible. I doubt that you were him in a past life (aside from the fact that I don't believe in reincarnation); you would pretty much have to have been born after he died.

[BicycleTree]

The thing about Andy Kaufman is that he discovered ways to influence people, to alter their behavior, and couldn't get over the fact that they could be toyed with so arbitrarily. He performed for his own amusement. Imagine you discovered that by saying "bethvezbip" you could make anyone, anywhere, say "why thank you." And then you went around saying "bethvezbip" to everyone you could find, just to wonder at the response--the predictable, controllable, yet incomprehensible response--of the people saying "why thank you." That's the way Andy Kaufman treated humor. He found out what was funny, but he didn't know why, and there didn't seem to be any deeper meaning to it. So he played with humor just to watch and wonder at the reaction.

[BicycleTree]

Humor itself is a pretty arbitrary cultural trait. It takes a while for kids to develop a sense of what what separates the "funny" from the "not funny." It's not a natural instinct; it's just something you do to indicate, "I'm part of your crowd." Like shaking hands.

[BicycleTree]

I'm still working on that. :redface:
Well, that's what I mean. You have to find out what is funny and what isn't funny from talking to other people. It's not something you just know; it's a mostly arbitrary set of customs. It does have some basis in instinct, but what we find instinctually funny--which is generally other people making fools out of themselves or injuring themselves--is a far cry from the cultural meme of humor. We do not find anything particularly funny unless it falls into the instinctual category or comes from our own culture. There's a reason all of Shakespeare's jokes fall flat to us in the 21st century.

[franznietzsche]

There's a reason all of Shakespeare's jokes fall flat to us in the 21st century.

That's because people are idiots. Not because they're not funny.

No, it's because they're not funny. Even Douglas Adams recognized this. No doubt Shakespeare's comic relief had some humor when it was first performed--but arbitrary and culture-tied as humor is, that humor is now gone.

[Artman]

I never found Andy Kaufman the least bit funny. He was too emotionally removed from his audience for me to find him funny. I don't think he liked people and it showed in his work. His wrestling act was just sad. Just my opinion.

I guess you can rank him up there with Shakespere.

[BicycleTree]

I agree about the emotional removal and the dislike of people. But not funny? Well, I haven't seen him so I couldn't say for sure, but some of Jim Carrey's depictions of his acts were funny. Sad? I doubt it. He was a spiritual seeker, and _that_ showed in his work. A trained monkey who then discovers greater aspirations cannot embrace his prior work completely without distaste and cynicism.

Kaufman was inventive, possibly a "comic" genius, but I still didn't find his humor funny. He did things like stage arguments and fights, stay in character to the point of angering people. I found him difficult to watch, not funny.

[BicycleTree]

I've done that often online--picking a personality and sticking with it. Kaufman's humor is reversed. Maybe he's not funny, but he makes you be. It's funny if you know what he's doing and appreciate that he's not just talking, he's creating situations where he is not the only comedian.

I gotta go with the Artman on that one. His 'Taxi' role was funny because it was written by the staff who did all the rest of it. His 'foreign man' stand-up was a long and uncomfortable prelude to the Elvis shock ending. Can't say as I cared for his own routines at all. Most of them were just embarrassing to watch.

[BicycleTree]

I don't think it's meanspirited so much as it is satirical. The only thing causing any trouble to anyone is their own reaction--it's their fault if they don't get the idea, and that's the game.

That absolutely is not true. I will not tolerate racism in my presence, and if someone tells a racist joke he soon finds that out. My family is quite diverse (I'm Highland Scots, Lowland Scots, Irish, English and Spanish with, I've been told, a touch of black.) A very large portion of my family is black by marriage, but there are also Filippinos, Portuguese, Aboringinal, East Indian, and a few others that I can't even classify. They're all just family, and my friends reflect the same sort of mix.
I know that your country is pretty notorious for it, but even there it must be more tolerant than your reptutation would imply.

You may not think you are racist, and perhaps you aren't, but the broader sense of "tribism" is strong, very strong, even in the most allegedly tolerant. Those who do not share your culture, you do not associate with.

That's not true either. I find it quite enjoyable to build friendships among people of different cultures. It keeps life from getting boring doing the same old stuff all the time, and helps one keep a truly open mind.

Kid, [I]there are no smilies on this planet to adequately express what I really want to tell you right now, and I'm not going to use that kind of language here. :grumpy:

Here we have probably the largest number of "nerds" who were rejected from many social groups, so these concepts are abhorrent, representing all they grew up to hate. But they find new social groups of other "nerds" and now they have their tribes... and now though they hate the concepts, they use them unconsciously to bind together to one another and bear watch against the unfamiliar interloper.

[BicycleTree]

Moonbear, how many friends do you have who you would guess have IQs less than 100?

You don't really know anything about the social groups of the people here. Perhaps you assume everyone here is just like you, but one of the things I enjoy about the internet is that I can just as easily find many people who are NOT just like me and share a good laugh with them as well.

[BicycleTree]

And how many good friends do any of you have, who do not tell or respond to the kind of jokes you like?

[BicycleTree]

Notice you said SHARE the laugh... that's what you do when you bring up humor. You find a common cultural basis to which you both respond. The sharing is the most important, binding part.

Well, Coors Light is pretty much the same thing. Not that I've ever been able to tell the difference between Bud and Bud Light either. :rolleyes: I like beers with flavor. In the winter, a good stout or porter by the fire is perfect, or in the summer, a nice IPA or ESB. Though, nothing wrong with drinking any of them any time of year. :biggrin:
Good! Back to beer...! Remember that our brands that carry the Yank names are actually brewed up here under license from the parent company. Coors products are bottled by Molson, Bud by Labatt. They are therefore more like Canadian-only beers than the originals. For instance, when I was in Vegas for pool I found out that regular Coors in the US tastes a lot like the Coors Light here. Your Coors Light tastes like our .5 stuff. And up here, there is a very distinct taste difference between Coors Light and Bud Light. I drink the Coors Light because of the taste, not because of the lightness--but I think the lightness is a bonus after the first dozen or so. :biggrin:

[Moonbear]

Moonbear, how many friends do you have who you would guess have IQs less than 100?

I truly have no idea. I've never asked any of my friends what their IQs are and they probably don't know either. I do have friends with a variety of educational levels though. Some who never went to college, others who have bachelor's degrees, and others who have gone on to more advanced degrees. I can just as easily talk to someone who sells farm equipment or does roofing work as I can to scientists and lawyers, and yes, my family and social groups include people from all of those walks of life.

To summarize: Humor = Inclusion and Mutuality

everyone thinks "are you like me?" "so I like you." It's built into the language.

When someone tells a joke you like the result is that you feel warmth toward that person and want to associate with him/her. The social function is plain as day. "Are you in my tribe too?"

[BicycleTree]

Moonbear, if you have friends who seem pretty dumb to you, then that would be someone you might estimate as IQ < 100. My point is that all of your friends are fairly smart, particularly your good friends. Educational level doesn't matter if you define your tribe as "smart" and "likes same type of humor I do."

The whole conversational process of finding common ground is based around the tribal instinct. Common ground means similarity, which means you have the same or similar tribes.

[Danger]

Danger, I know you find it uncomfortable to talk about but the important things often are.
It's not the least bit uncomfortable to talk about when it's a discussion among reasoning people. You don't qualify on that count. You came in here with preconceptions that are totally erroneous and are unwilling to admit that others don't fall into you preassigned slots for them. I have friends with IQ's ranging from low 80' to 195. I'm somewhere in the middle, and can talk equally with all of them. Sometimes, in fact, at the same time in the same group. I'm the guy they like to talk about physics with, or hot cars, or pool... and I'm the guy they come to if they need a homemade submachine gun on short notice. I'm the nerd with attitude; I was also the bouncer in the cowboy bar, remember?

Moonbear, that's what I mean. You're not friends with anyone you'd call dumb. But surely you would call _some_ people dumb... wouldn't you? Everyone selects friends based on common tribality. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's important.

Whether or not you believe it is of no concern to me. The guy lived at my place for 6 years, so I have a pretty good idea of how bright he was. His sister scored even higher. One of my cousins is actually in the mid 70's, but I don't get to see him very much any more. He's the nicest guy you'd ever want to meet. The mid 80's girl (there was a typo in the original post) is a customer of mine at work, and we always have a nice chat about her baby, or the weather, or what we're going to watch on TV tonight. Half of my bar buddies are probably between 90 and 100, some are illiterate but street-smart, and a bunch are in my own range. We all get along perfectly well together. A guy I played with for years can't read or write, and crushes rocks for a living, but if you need to know how many balls you have to sink in order to cinch a playoff game, he knows right now. It takes me 10 times as long to figure it out.

It all depends on how you define normal. Though, it's not really that important to try to conform to whatever you perceive is normal. It's more important to accept who you are and appreciate what you have, because you never know when it might be gone. Be happy with who you are, not with who you think others want you to be.

Frans you said I had no supporting evidence? PAY ATTENTION... evidence presented so far is how children find it hard to get their minds around the idea of jokes and humor, and how old jokes are NOT funny. There are no old jokes that are funny, tell one, and old I mean well before 1800, out of modern culture. Humor is culture specific.


How are old jokes not funny?

That is a subjective statement.

You have offered no proof that old jokes are not funny. You're building a house of cards kid, statements based on unbased statements.

How are old jokes not funny?
My father had a book called '1001 Jokes, Toasts and Quotes for All Occassions'. I haven't seen it in years, but I'll never rest until I find it again. It was published in 1901 (the same year he was born), and a lot of the jokes in it were at least 50 or 100 years old then. A lot of them were hilarious, some were just plain sick, and others mildly amusing. For instance tombstone inscriptions from the 1700's and 1800's. (example: Below lies Miles, who's Miles below--or Here he lies and no wonder he's dead, for the wheel of the wagon ran over his head) In the next one, I'm going to substitute a modern brand name for the original which you would never have heard of, but the rest is original: Ruth rode on my Harley, on the seat in back of me; I took a bump at 95 and rode on Ruthlessly.

If his opinions carry weight, then the pope's opinions certianly carry the wieght of god(irony intended, since you obviously wouldn't get it).

The fact that you don't get the jokes in shakespeare (especially the vast number of sex jokes, we used to call him 'the dirty old man' in my english class) just throws your lot in with the rest of the uncouth masses that i disdain so much.

As I remember, (in praise of Wodehouse) Douglas said something about how Shakespeare, the best writer in the English language, couldn't tell a joke to save his life, so now people think humor isn't important in literature.

[BicycleTree]

I'm not denying that Shakespeare does at times _try_ to make jokes. They just aren't funny from a modern perspective.

[Danger]

You're keeping me feeling young. :wink: :devil:
Thanks again! I'm not used to hearing that from a vertical woman. :smile:

[BicycleTree]

So, why is the burden of proof now on you? Because I have provided a number of sources--myself, my fellow students, my english teacher, and Douglas Adams--who couldn't find anything very funny in Shakespeare's jokes. Proving the absence of funny stuff exhaustively would require that I go through every passage in Shakespeare and explain how it isn't funny. If life and death hinged on the outcome, I might do that, but since it doesn't, the opinions of a bunch of people who have read some Shakespeare counts. If you disagree then it's most reasonable that you need to provide a counterexample. Quote Shakespeare rather than just saying it's funny.

[franznietzsche]

I did read Hamlet, but how about you actually quote some of it, because a bumbling gravedigger (a scene I don't even remember) who speaks with an impediment doesn't sound like a laugh-riot to me.

I told you i don't have a copy.

I'm not denying that Shakespeare does at times _try_ to make jokes. They just aren't funny from a modern perspective.

No Bob, they're just not funny when you lack the capacity to understand them.

There you go parading Douglas Adams' opinion around as if it mattered. You're like everyone else, you need your opinion spoon fed to you. You never even read Douglas's essay yourself, you don't even know what he wrote.

And for the umpteenth time, the burden of proof is on you, the one making the claim. Jeebus christo, is it that hard to understand?

[BicycleTree]

So Douglas Adams lacks that capacity? His fault?

[BicycleTree]

http://www.hamlet.org/hamlet/s305 The full text of Hamlet can be found here.

[franznietzsche]

So Douglas Adams lacks that capacity? His fault?

How would i know? I don't know what he actually wrote in that essay, what his words were. Neither do you, as you admitted. You're arguing referring to something you've never even seen yourself. Its pathetic. Maybe he got the jokes, but he simply argued that they're relevance was lost on those who lacked the capacity as modern audiences do, because they want everything spoon fed to them without having to think, like you. If you catch the irony in this paragraph, i will eat my dinner.

If you disagree then it's most reasonable that you need to provide a counterexample. Quote Shakespeare rather than just saying it's funny.

The thing with proof is that your hypothesis is that Shakespeare isn't funny in modern times. You can cite all the evidence you want in support of your hypothesis, but that doesn't prove it. All it takes is one example saying someone in modern times finds Shakespeare funny to disprove the hypothesis. If you're only going to provide sources in support of your argument that none of us can verify, then the TWO examples of Franz and me finding Shakespeare funny disproves your hypothesis. What does it matter if we post a quote? Even if you don't find it funny, as long as one of us does, it shows that Shakespeare is funny in modern times.

[BicycleTree]

No, I told you that I have read it. The review was just the only thing I could find online. Adams does use the phrase "couldn't make a joke to save his life" or something close to it in reference to Shakespeare, and he does use it as I said. If you're such a big fan of Adams then get _The Salmon of Doubt_ and find out for yourself.

[Danger]

'The Taming of the Shrew', for one, is flippin' hilarious. I submit that as a member of the Empire, I probably have a head start on a lot of you. English humour isn't quite the same as North American, but Canadians have enough exposure to it that it makes more sense to us. Old English humour is still based upon the monarchist society, with class structure. While ours isn't, we do understand it. For instance, several excellent English comedies couldn't be understood in the States, so they remade them for US audiences: All in the Family, Sanford and Son, The Golden Girls... You get stuff like Benny Hill and Mr. Bean because they're slapstick that doesn't require inside knowledge.
That doesn't apply to Douglas Adams, of course, because he was British, but it could just be a matter of his opinion. Most of the people that I know can't understand the humour in "Hitchhiker's Guide".

[BicycleTree]

Moonbear, 10 for 10! Go for the gold! Grass is Green! (waiting...)

I'm not saying it's impossible for someone in modern culture to find Shakespeare funny, I'm saying that in the modern meme of humor, Shakespeare generally isn't funny. You need to find a counterexample where anyone of sufficient intelligence in modern culture would be expected to find it funny. Since it's Shakespeare and his image is sacrosanct, a lot of the people (I suspect you and you, Moonbear and Franz, as being among them) are just going to say "yeah Shakespeare can tell jokes" without actually having any specific jokes in mind, just to avoid tarnishing his image.

Franz, this is your most recent post before #3048... I don't see any irony here, it just comes across as bitter (not to mention misinformed).


The thing about agreement over cultural humor was actually in response to Danger, NOT you. Pay attention if you're going to be mean and bitter, because I was not even replying to you in that post about agreement over cultural humor, so it was not possible for me to have been misinterpreting you.

Franz, this is your most recent post before the one you were replying to... I don't see any irony here, it just comes across as bitter.

That's because you lack the intellect to realise that i did in fact agree with you that humour was culture related.

The only thing that could be construed that way that you said was about modern audiences being too stupid and preferring things to be spoon-fed. I don't think that really counts as humor depending on culture--more like attention span depending on culture.

Now, just start with Act 1 Scene 1. Read the section where Baptista enters (Gremio's aside is a pretty obvious joke even if you don't see why the rest of the dialogue is humorous). Really, it's the same sort of humor you'd hear between two guys talking about a woman in a bar, just you need to get used to old English.

I never said that it wasn't culturally based. What I said, although not in so many words, is that your vision of it as a hate-fuelled xenophobic 'us against them' bonding ritual is a perversion of reality filtered through what I perceive to be a severely damaged psyche.

Puns are deliberately designed to be groaned at. That's the whole point of their existence. It's a very specialized genre of humour. If someone actually laughs at one, then the constructor failed in his mission.

[Moonbear]

Some puns are bad puns, and thus get a groan, but some plays on words and innuendos are really funny, and yes, I really do laugh. Besides, it wasn't just that one line that was funny there. The entire dialogue had me laughing, I can't just pull one line out of context to show it. Did you read that entire section of dialogue?

Though, does humor require one to be laughing out loud? I would still consider something humorous if it made me smile or chuckle. And I also enjoy jokes that you know you should groan at, but you can't stop yourself from laughing anyway.

About a year and a half ago, when i first decided to pursue her, my best friend soon after became single, and decided he also wanted to date her. Not good. We never really fought, but there was unspoken friction and competition for a while. At any rate, he had always called her runt, for probably a year before this, initially just to be an ***, and later on it stuck. Well, at the time it occurred to me calling her the same thing he came up with would be bad, making her think of him instead of me would have been counter-productive. At first she objected, saying she preferred runt, but i just kept calling her tiny. After a while my friend moved on and dated someone else, and the name jsut stuck. Of course, she doesn't know this story, but that's ok.

You mean the daystar? Yeah its a freaky thing. I've heard stories about it. It turns you into a lobster if you're exposed to it for too long. Dangerous thing.

But it must have quite a gravitational pull. It keeps pulling me outside! :biggrin: I played hooky today...just couldn't convince myself to go sit in a hermetically sealed building when it's 70 degrees and sunny! I've still mostly been indoors, but I've got all the windows open. :approve:

It does...I'm not sure what it is, but I actually start to feel almost carsick if I sit too long in sun shining through glass.

"Down in Oakland" by The Transplants is a particularly good song.

[BicycleTree]

The lyrics don't look like much but the song is great. And I don't advise reading the lyrics before hearing the song a few times... it sounds like he is saying different things from those in the lyrics at times, which are better for the song.

I don't like when decayed things start moving. :yuck: Save it for the refrigerator thread, or the rotting deer thread. :tongue2:

Like, all the words are sung or spoken sloppily, like he's not really trying, or like he's toothless and has a mouth full of novocaine. But he hits all the notes. It's like some animating force took a corpse and made it sing--its mouth may be rotting but the essence of the song is there.

Its dirty laundry mostly :yuck:

[BicycleTree]

What if you were talking to someone and he was otherwise normal, but did not use facial expressions? Utter poker face. Imagine that situation and tell me how you would feel.

The first thing you want to do--human instinct--when talking to someone is placing their archetype. If they don't fit into what you already understand and can predict, you don't want to talk to them. Just more of the tribal instinct at work. You know how the Devil is referred to as "the interloper."

[Moonbear]

Its dirty laundry mostly :yuck:

Yeah, I know what you guys have been up to over there at the laundromat too. I wouldn't want to touch that dirty laundry. :yuck:

[Moonbear]

What if you were talking to someone and he was otherwise normal, but did not use facial expressions? Utter poker face. Imagine that situation and tell me how you would feel.

One word: Botox!

[BicycleTree]

No, because with Botox (or, alternatively, stroke victims) you know why they are not using facial expressions, so you can explain it to yourself and proceed. I mean when there is no apparent reason why he is not using facial expressions. Just a poker face.

[Moonbear]

No, because with Botox (or, alternatively, stroke victims) you know why they are not using facial expressions, so you can explain it to yourself and proceed. I mean when there is no apparent reason why he is not using facial expressions. Just a poker face.

Does it matter the reason? It's still weird trying to talk to someone who has no facial expressions. Afterall, we communicate quite a bit through facial expressions (and yes, I do know someone who hardly ever shows an facial expression or overt emotion; it took a long time to get used to having to read the most subtle cues to know how he's reacting to things people are saying).

[BicycleTree]

All right, I thought you were presenting botox users as people it was not so hard to talk to once you got used to it.

Another item is the phrase "relates to." If you can't "Relate to" someone that implies that you find them uncomfortable to be around. But the meaning of the phrase is just that you can't find similarities between the person and yourself.

[BicycleTree]

Also, "relates to" suggests familial relation.

[Moonbear]

All right, I thought you were presenting botox users as people it was not so hard to talk to once you got used to it.

Oh, no, just as an example of someone who has no facial expressions. That was the first thing to pop to mind when you said that. It's really hard to entirely suppress facial expressions without paralysis. You'll notice that high stakes poker players often wear sunglasses or hats or something else to shield their eyes. It's because no matter how good of a poker face someone thinks they have, there are almost always still very subtle cues they can't avoid. So, otherwise, I can only think of a sociopath as someone who would talk without showing any emotion, because they really aren't feeling any emotion. Even the guy I know who is incredibly subtle about facial expression has some (after people meet him the first time, most comment on it once out of his presence, it's that strikingly obvious that something is unusual about his lack of expression). But, the more you talk to him and get to know him, you start to notice little movements of his eyes and lips. It's kind of funny though, because his wife is the complete opposite. What he lacks in expression, she makes up for! She is the bubbliest, most expressive person I've met. It's quite cute to see them together. :smile:

Ah, yes, ether. Take a very deep breath to calm yourself. See, it's working already. Another deep breath little thread, and it will all be over very quickly.

Liquid oxygen is probably more effective than gasoline.

Hey, I was only the go between, the ransom was demanded by the EVIL NERD PIRATES.

I think I'll have another piece of that cake while I enjoy the ransom song again

Nonsense, I think they took the ransom and hoped the thread would un-vanish, which it did through no action on their part.

Somehow, i doubt it.

[BicycleTree]

Doubt all you like but I read in one of the IgNobel books about a couple guys who like to start barbecues... fast. They put in the briquettes, toss on a lighted match, and blast it with liquid oxygen. Total time to a cheerfully roaring (if somewhat melted) grill: less than three seconds.

Oh i wasn't doubting that oxygen would be more effective than gas.

I was doubting that wood burning would be exothermic enough to overcome just how cold liquid oxygen is.

Oxygen doesn't burn itself, it just helps a fire burn faster. Hmm...wonder what would happen if we dumped a mixture of gasoline, ether and oxygen onto the burning thread. :rolleyes: Bicycle Tree, you do it, I'm going to stand back here behind this reflective, asbestos-covered, 6 foot thick concrete wall where I have a welder's helmet and firesuit to wear. :biggrin: :devil:

[BicycleTree]

If charcoal is PRESOAKED in LOX first, an explosion will result. One briquette presoaked in LOX is approx equiv to 1 stick of dynamite.

Changing the subject a bit. I've been under a lot of stress lately because my company was laying off a significant number of people in my division due to a recently announced merger. I was spared, but the guy in the office across from mine was not as lucky. :frown: He was so upset that he lost his eye. He has a glass eye and he took it out and forgot where he put it. :surprised

I decided to stop being lazy. At my current pace I would not graduate until I was 22, 3 years from now (I would be a few classes short, and would have to wait to graduate for a whole year). So I decided that I will take 4 classes this summer, rather than 2, and then just take a real full-time load and finish 2 years from now. I will be student teaching in just over a year from now, scary thought! :surprised

I do blush. It usually takes a lot, but with pale skin, you can't help but notice when I do, and then someone always points it out when that happens, and that embarrasses me more, and makes me blush redder.

Of course this implies that you have read all 222 pages... did you miss the part where we had a deep philosophical discussion about the meaning of life and how it relates to network forums. It was a real concern that perhaps someone who would take the time to read all 222 pages about nothing might be missing a big bite of life.

On the other hand it was felt that anyone who did not read 222 pages of nothing and simply assumed that it was about nothing might also be missing some of the better things in life.

But in general I think we can conclude that you are pretty much correct. This thread is pretty much a waste of electrons..

There are far older threads than this one around. Little franzbear just happens to be much more mature for its age.

I mean, I do feel sorry for it. With everyone telling that one how stupid it is all the time, it just never had chance.

???INTERMISSION???
I hate to go off topic ( :rolleyes: ), but I just have to mention this. I have a record called 'The Begatting of the President' by Orson Welles. It was released by Mediarts in the early 70's. I can't listen to it because my turntable is sort of behind/under the computer, but the cover sample goes thusly:

And it came to pass that FDR begat Truman. And Truman begat Ike. And Ike begat JFK. And JFK begat LBJ. And all this was done that it might be fulfilled the prophecy which sayeth, "A little child shall be born in a grocery store in Whittier, and he shall sit upon the throne, and his administration shall be established greatly."

Now the begatting of Richard Nixon was on this wise...

Check it out if you get a chance. It's friggin' hilarious, especially delivered in that dead-serious Wellesian voice.

Well, your uncle Artman has another surprise for you. :smile: I've come to take you swimming! :smile: I have these special motorized swim trunks for you. :smile: They're still in the prototype stage, but with the electric motor you should be able to get some incredible speeds. :smile:

Of course i still have a few bugs to work out in a method to stop or turn...and I haven't worked out a way to plug it in without using several extension cords...oh and it is kind of heavy...and there is a slight chance of electrocution...

It'll be fun! :smile:

Got the generator gased up aunty Evo?

What's that Franzbear? Oh that's just for light and to power the bathing suit. You want to go real fast right? And it get's kind of dark out there in the lake. :smile:

[Artman]

Oh and don't forget those lead swimfins I got you. Yeah they're a little heavy, but they won't rust and they should last longer than those cheap rubber things everyone else wears. :smile:

This is going to be such fun! :biggrin:

Oh and don't worry about the generator being too noisy, no one will hear you... :devil: I mean it. o:)

[Moonbear]

Oh and don't worry about the generator being too noisy, no one will hear you... :devil: I mean it. o:)

Oh, little franzbear, isn't your Uncle Artman being so silly tonight. :smile: There's no need for that generator and all those extension cords. :smile: I'm sure your electric swim suit will work just fine hooked up to a car battery. It's more portable that way. :smile: Here, we'll just strap the battery to your back...like this...and then we'll run the cables around your neck...like this. Nice and tight now, we don't want it to fall off. And then we just connect them to the swimsuit...right there. All set kiddo! :approve:

Relax pal. She's just angling for child support. You weren't involved. And it wasn't immaculate conception. Just... well, a string fell off of something and to avoid embarrassment she passed it off as a thread-birth.

SEE! I am not the only one who wants to see the demise of this thread...THREAD, this is not THREAD this is a blooming trans Atlantic cable. Only with no information content.

I say it should be unwound, dethreaded, perhaps we could use it to weave a tapestry. The Beyond hope tapestry. It could start with Gregg cradling his little baby site and wading into the vast unknowns of the internet. Slowly he gathers his mentors, and they nurture the cute little forum and watch it grow slowly and carefully. Spreading knowledge and banning crackpots to the bit bucket in the sky. Then one day the Moonbear arrives, then the tribleleddog and the franznigth. Between them the brew up the thread from HELL! Then the true DANGER arose...

KILL it KILL It now before it devours us ALL....

I'm going to sleep just as soon as I finish typing this response. It's 3:00 am here, and I have to be up at about 7-8 for work. I had to cruise around cleaning up loose threads for a bit. Then I noticed that nobody on my buddy list was on line, so I figured I could quit. Then I saw a question from Joel aimed at me personally, so I answered it and ended up in a bit of a discussion. Just when I got finished with that and figured it was safe to leave, you showed up. Naturally, I couldn't trust you to not be up to something, so I had to check. The thing is, I always feel as if I'm being rude it I just go away in the middle of an exchange, so I wait until everyone else quits. (I'll have to get over that.) It wouldn't be so bad, except I just realized about 15 minutes ago that I had to set the damned clocks ahead. That chopped an hour off my planned sleep, but it's too late to do anything about it.
Anyhow, I'm gone now. Catch you sometime tomorrow.

My grandfather worked at the Drive-In theater and they showed R-rated (probably slightly less that x-rated) movies there. We went out to visit him one night at his job. My grandmother kept saying, "oh, isn't this awful. We should keep count of the vulgar words in the movie."

So in an effort to count all the obscenities we ended up sitting through an entire double-feature. :rofl:

Grandma!!!! :surprised :eek: :surprisedI was mortified when I found out what all those sweet little old ladies were reading. :blushing: Even more so when I found out that those cylindrical "facial massagers" advertised in the magazines at the beauty parlor my mom went to weren't for your face. :surprised

Men have Playboy and women have Harlequin romance! :rofl: But, hey, you can read the smut anywhere, on the bus, in the beauty parlor, sitting out in the park. The guys apparently aren't smart enough to know how to get away with it yet. Pull out an issue of Playboy in a park or on a bus and you're immediately labeled a perv; you can't leave that out on the living room coffee table when you have company over either.

Then again, I always knew my grandmother was a bit of a wild and crazy woman. Her wedding gown was a flapper dress! :biggrin: She used to joke that even though she and my grandfather had twin beds (they are of the generation where husbands and wives didn't share beds), plenty went on between the beds! :rofl:

When I was in grad school, she met one of my professors and decided he was good looking and I should date him. I pointed out he was twice my age and married and she told me, "That doesn't stop anyone anymore." :bugeye: :surprised She definitely watched too many soap operas in addition to reading those smut books! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

We women know what we're reading and nobody complains, but as soon as a guy is caught with his "magazine," she's going to roll it up and smack you over the head with it. :rofl: (I wouldn't, but some women would, even those who read the "smut" books.)

:yuck: You don't have a shower? I've never heard of a bathtub that doesn't have a shower in it. Oh, wait, no, there was that ONE house I looked at with the pink bathroom that had the tub in a weirdly shaped nook...reminded me of something out of "I Dream of Jeanie." You couldn't have actually stood up in the tub, because the ceiling over it was too low. Would you like a shower? It's easy to install one (I had to replace the faucets in my tub/shower this past winter and accomplished it without burning down the house...just some banged up knuckles and blisters from working in tight corners...oh, yeah, there were a few cuts from the tile shards when I had to chip out some tile...I'm thinking of replacing all my kitchen knives with tile shards. :rofl: Actually, it did get me to seriously consider taking a look at those ceramic knives you see chefs playing with on the Food Network.)

Believe me, in this case it's not easy. Remember I said that I live in the house that my grandfather built in 1911? It didn't originally have plumbing, so a corner of his den was walled off to make a bathroom in the 40's or thereabouts. The tub is only enclosed on 2 sides. I'd have to build an entire enclosure from scratch. (Commercial stuff won't fit that tub.)
As for the floors, they are entirely and comfortably carpeted with cat hair. It's very warm and keeps the mice away.

Oh, you could do like they do with free-standing clawfoot tubs! You don't need walls around it, you can put a shower curtain all the way around (it's probably harder to get the curtain rods for those old-style tubs nowadays, but they do exist). You don't even need to run the plumbing in the wall if you don't want to. If you have running water to a faucet, you can have a shower. I'll see if I can find a site that illustrates what I'm talking about.

In some ways, not in others. I don't want to ever leave it, though.
As for the shower thing, my brother actually has one of the kind in the picture. He's not well off physically, so he had to get a special tub. I do have a flex-hose shower head that comes off of the tap for washing my hair and rinsing off.
I prefer a bath anyhow, though. As I mentioned in another thread, I go into hypothermia if I get wet under normal conditions. A shower isn't too bad, but I prefer a very hot tub.

But then I killed a thread.
There, there, dear... I'm sure you only wounded it. Show me where it is and we'll look after it.

[Moonbear]

In some ways, not in others. I don't want to ever leave it, though.

I was being a bit sarcastic. I meant "fun" as in constant headaches trying to repair strange things in an old house not built to accomodate modern conveniences. Though, houses like that have character, which is pretty cool. Sort of a trade-off. I totally understand. One of my friends lives in an old farmhouse, and while it has its share of problems that cause her headaches, it has some really cool things in it that you would never find in a modern house, like a "secret" staircase from the bedroom directly to the kitchen (from the kitchen, the door to that staircase just looks like a closet door).

Showers are better for company. :biggrin: If you prefer baths anyway, then I guess that works out well enough. And the flex hose thing works. I was thinking you didn't have any sort of shower capabilities at all. I also forget that most people don't have hair like I do...I must have a shower to wash my hair, there's just too much of it; normal people can just stick their head under a faucet and be done.

[franznietzsche]

Most of the house is pretty modernized. The only really serious aggravation is that the kitchen is the only room with 3-prong outlets. Hence I am sitting 4 feet away from it in the middle of the living room so my power bar can reach around the corner.
And despite the age, I still have most of my hair. It's just receding in front, but no bald spot. I keep it very short though (biggest guide for clippers). It used to be longer, but after I did the Head Shave for Cancer thing at the Legion I realized how much easier it is to take care of. About 3 months before the next event, I'll quit cutting it and shaving my beard. (You can get extra sponsorship for a beard sometimes.)

When i share showers, no one is cold in there. Although a second one is still generally necessary, otherwise the normal purpose of a shower is kinda defeated.

Hey what happened to the PF member height and weight? I was tracking all the guys...looks like I'll have to wait for the calendar. I never weigh myself, so found out I've gained some weight the other day at a doctor's appointment, and then I sat down and felt a draft! :cry:

Would you settle for polyurethanes? That last friend was allergic to latex, so I have a few left over. :rolleyes:

[Moonbear]

Would you settle for polyurethanes? That last friend was allergic to latex, so I have a few left over. :rolleyes:

How do those work out anyway? The polyurethanes I mean. Plenty of guys complain about latex, so what's the rating on polyurethane? More or less comfortable to wear? Do they fit the same? Are they about the same as latex in terms of sensitivity, or better, worse? I've known about them for a while now, but haven't known anyone who tried them (or at least nobody who was willing to share that information).

I only can compare different materials used for gloves from working in the lab (we've tried a variety of different gloves in attempts to get away from using so much latex to minimize the risk of developing an allergy). I haven't liked any of the other materials out there yet. They just don't stretch very well. I think I notice it more than other people because my hands are right between two sizes (I have sort of longish, narrow fingers), so with latex gloves I can usually go with the smaller of two sizes and they stretch to fit comfortably, but with these other materials, the smaller size is too tight and cuts off circulation while the larger size flops off my finger tips so I end up getting my gloves trapped in the caps of vials as I close them, and fun things like that.

So, anyhooo, just wondering. :rolleyes:

[Danger]

How do those work out anyway? The polyurethanes I mean.
They take some getting used to. The fit and feel are different because they don't cling like latex. I guess it would be sort of like comparing Saran wrap to grocery bag material. It feels as it they're sliding off at first, even though they're not. They're a lot thinner, though, so sensitivity and heat transfer are way up, and a lot stronger. The major factor against them (up here, at least) is that they cost almost twice as much. :grumpy:



Hah! Faked you out! I don't work until 11:00 Saturdays. :tongue:

I've read they also break more often than latex, so aren't as effective because of that.

[Danger]

I've read they also break more often than latex, so aren't as effective because of that.
I've never heard of that. They are a lot stronger, even though thinner. I've busted a couple of latex, but never one of these. Another thing is that they don't degrade when exposed to oil-based products.

HuckWelcome Huck!!! This thread is sort of like a disposal. You can discuss any topic, because there is no topic (i.e., this thread cannot be "thread-jacked"). But members also post here to keep the thread from being "killed" as most threads eventually die with a last post from a member (otherwise known as a "thread killer").

If you want to reply to someone, and want to use quotes, etc. select the "advanced" option at the base of the reply box instead of just "quick reply." Then you will see many options for quotes, fonts, etc. above, "smilies" to the right, and spell check at the bottom. I hope this helps. :smile:

Not true. I have. You'll note I've been here from the beginning. You don't get to be the top poster in the thread without reading them ALL.

:uhh: I need to get a life. My excitement for the day was to buy a new lawnmower. I wanted one with big wheels and self-propelling (my yard is a bit bumpy...I don't mind so much this time of year, but in the middle of August when the humidity is 90%, pushing that mower is more exercise than I want), and that mulches. The old one was rear-bagging. I didn't know any better when I got it, being my first lawnmower purchase and still being gung-ho about the whole idea of having my very own lawn to mow :rolleyes: but I discovered that stopping and emptying a bag of lawn clippings every few passes over the lawn is really annoying and a full bag makes the mower hard to push, and if you don't attach the bag when it's supposed to have one, it just clogs up the mower (we get a lot of rain, so no way to avoid cutting wet grass).

See, pathetic, that's the excitement of my day.

[BicycleTree]

No, you haven't read them all and as a ghost I can guarantee that.

Don't feel bad, buying a lawnmower is exciting. Most things are less interesting than that.

[franznietzsche]

What if someone attacked you and the only thing you had nearby to use as a weapon was your keyboard? You'd be sorry you bought plastic then.

You fail to realise that my entire desk is covered in glass bottles. Much better.

[BicycleTree]

A granite mouse with cord attached beats a glass bottle. Swing it around like a yoyo and your assailant can't get within 3 feet of you.

[Moonbear]

What if someone attacked you and the only thing you had nearby to use as a weapon was your keyboard? You'd be sorry you bought plastic then.

I'd be in real trouble then, since I have a laptop, so no separate keyboard. :eek: :tongue2: But, I'm not about to start lugging around a granite laptop. Aside from the weight, granite cracks really easily, as does plastic, which is why I have a laptop case made from a lightweight metal alloy....it dents but doesn't break.

[BicycleTree]

Besides, what if you're attacked while carrying your computer from place to place?

[Moonbear]

No, you haven't read them all and as a ghost I can guarantee that.

Nope, I even read all those annoying ghost posts. I know you know what I mean, but I'm going to be nice and keep it between you and me. :wink:

How much would you pay for a computer, monitor, mouse, and keyboard with carved granite casings instead of plastic?

I already have one of those granite computers down in the basement. I use it as a home for runaway spiders. Lately though I've been seeing a lot of centipede looking things lurking around it.

Hmm, I only seem to be able to open my post with a quote. Am I missing something?

You're right I haven't read all the posts. But long ago in a galaxy far away I had.

[franznietzsche]

A granite mouse with cord attached beats a glass bottle. Swing it around like a yoyo and your assailant can't get within 3 feet of you.
The hell it does.

You've obviously never been nailed by a glass bottle. Not to mention sharp shards of glass.

[BicycleTree]

Granite computers? If you mean an abacus with granite beads, that doesn't count.

[Moonbear]

So moonbear the answer is to break the laptop into pieces over your knee so you have long rectangles of granite. The weight will just make you stronger.

:rofl: Then I'll have a bruised knee and won't be able to run.

Though, I suppose if I was lugging around a granite laptop, and someone tried mugging me, I could just hand them the laptop and that would slow them down enough for the cops to catch up with them before they got too far. :rofl:

[Huckleberry]

Hey, you brought it up. I was just amazed that anyone else had one too. I thought I was the only one.

[BicycleTree]

Range and speed, franz, range and speed. Have you ever tried spinning a yoyo in a circle as fast as you possibly can? It's easy to break glass, but if you let the yoyo touch the floor the plastic thing will explode.

[BicycleTree]

:rofl: Then I'll have a bruised knee and won't be able to run.

Well, obviously, obviously you should wear kneepads.

So you're the one who brought all the spiders in with you! :grumpy: And now you're giving them a home?! :bugeye: Out, out, out! And take your spiders with you! (Can you tell I'm not a big fan of spiders?)


Hmm, I only seem to be able to open my post with a quote. Am I missing something?

Just scroll down to the "quick reply" box if you don't need a quote, or you can "go advanced" to still have access to smilies without quoting.

You're right I haven't read all the posts. But long ago in a galaxy far away I had.

Busted!!! :rofl:

[BicycleTree]

There is also a post reply button to go advanced without having to scroll down that far.

[SOS2008]

Not true. I have. You'll note I've been here from the beginning. You don't get to be the top poster in the thread without reading them ALL.Lord knows I still haven't made it all the way through the new member thread, let alone reading all the links to the oldie but goodie threads!
My excitement for the day was to buy a new lawnmower. I wanted one with big wheels and self-propelling...The old one was rear-bagging.I can't believe how you guys are dropping the ball here...

[Moonbear]

There is? Not on my screen.

Huck

[Moonbear]

On my screen it is at the lower left edge of the last post in the thread.

Oh, that left! I really never noticed it. By the time I get that far down the page, it's not far from the "go advanced" button. I don't bother to "go advanced" unless I'm quoting someone and automatically wind up there anyway.

Just by copying and pasting. If you scroll down when in the reply box, the last 15 or 20 posts are condensed in a section called "topic review."

Oh, if a guy named Danger comes by with the welcome wagon, just say, "No thanks, I only eat Kosher hot dogs." He should leave you alone then. :yuck: :biggrin:
All the way down at work I could feel my name being taken in vain. I had to close early, you toad, just to get back here and see what you were doing. Ignore him, Huck. Have a nice bacon sandwich and pretend he's not here.

Oh, hi danger. I was supposed to tell you something or other about meat products. Oh yes, I only eat Kosher hot dogs. Actually I don't particularly care for them, but they go well with a bowl of skittles. Half a hot dog and a bowl of skittles.

Huck

I really should wear my glasses while I doing this. For a second there, I thought you said kittens. I was about to ask if you had a new recipe, because I'm getting kinda tired of poached. :redface:
What the hell is a 'skittle' anyhow? Up here it's like a little bowling pin that you use for playing golf on a pool table. :confused:

[SOS2008]

HuckThere was a thread about weird food--this would fit. Danger--Skittles are a candy that Yanks eat--it is what was used in the movie "ET."

[Huckleberry]

A skittle is a candy shaped like an m&m but it tastes more like a starburst, but it has a hard brightly colored shell. After they begin to break down in saliva they take on a granular, sugary texture that goes well with half a hotdog. Atleast I think so.

What the hell is a 'skittle' anyhow? Up here it's like a little bowling pin that you use for playing golf on a pool table.

You play golf on pool tables with bowling pins in Canada? Time to come in out of the cold Danger. I think your brain is freezing.

If you go back to Moonbear's original post about lawn mowers...
Yeah, I did. Thanks. I was just kiddin' anyhow; you could never be replaced.

Okay. I thought those were "Reese's Pieces". I've heard of skittles, but always figured they were like Cheezies or something. Maybe 'cause I heard them mentioned with beer.

Oh yeah, you're gonna fit right in here; start picking on the old guy right off. :biggrin:
'Golf' is a kind of pool game where you have to shoot your one object ball into each pocket sequentially without knocking over any of the skittles that are set up on the table. The pegs are only about the size of a headphones plug.

[SOS2008]

Yeah, I did. Thanks. I was just kiddin' anyhow; you could never be replaced.

Oh your serious! I thought you were joking about that golf,pool,bowling thing. Now that I understand it to be true I'm really scared. :surprised

Sounds kind of interesting actually. Throw in horsehoes and hockey pucks and you might have a new national passtime. Keep in mind this is from the guy that likes hot dogs with his skittles.

Huck :smile:

[Danger]

Oh your serious! I thought you were joking about that golf,pool,bowling thing.
Now that you mention it, I reread my post from an outsider's perspective and you're right. It would have been a more clever joke than most of the ones that I come up with on purpose. :redface:

[SOS2008]

Yeh, hockey pucks...hmmm. At the Mitzvah Bar do they have a game combining pool with darts?

[Danger]

Yeh, hockey pucks...hmmm.
Don't try to con me with 'hmmm'. Even you would be mighty hard-pressed to think up a sexual use for them.

At the Mitzvah Bar do they have a game combining pool with darts?
Not yet, but I'm sure I could come up with one. There is, however, a dart game called 'Golf'. :biggrin:

[BicycleTree]

Ahhhhhh...

[Moonbear]

See, everyone is interested in the lawnmower.

It's a whole 6.75 hp Briggs & Stratton (sp?)! The guy at the store looked at me like I was nuts when I inquired about anything with a smaller engine. :rolleyes: My last one was a pitiful 4.25 hp. Go figure, apparently in the lawnmower world, that's like a 486 computer I think. Even the cheapest lawnmower there had a bigger engine than 4.25 hp. It's got those BIG rear wheels too. :biggrin: And variable speed control to the front wheels, so I can go FAST! (I asked how the speed on the fixed speed mowers fits along the range of the variable speed mowers, and they said it was at the slow end, so you don't have any trouble keeping up...well, geez, I don't walk that slow, and I can go even faster if the mower helps push itself, so that just wasn't going to work). Gotta say, I was drooling over those riding lawn mowers (ya know, because you can sit on those), but my yard is too small and fenced in, so it's just not worth it if I'd have to go around and do all the edges after anyway. I wasn't prepared to spend that much on a lawnmower yet anyway. Maybe if I move to a house with a bigger yard, I'll upgrade. :tongue2:

You guys should know better than to encourage me on these things.

[Moonbear]

Okay. I thought those were "Reese's Pieces". I've heard of skittles, but always figured they were like Cheezies or something. Maybe 'cause I heard them mentioned with beer.

Yep, they were Reese's Pieces. If you've never had Skittles, you're not missing anything. :yuck:

Huck, I'm just wondering, when you have half a hot dog with your Skittles, what do you do with the other half?

I have no idea how to spell the type of grass I have. The front yard is completely different from the back yard too, and I don't know at all the type of grass in the back yard. Don't look at me, I would have been happy with a smaller engine, that was never the issue I had with my older lawnmower. Oh, who am I kidding, I'm American...MORE POWER!!!!

Nice to see someone picked up the slack. SOS missed that? Oh well, she is getting up there in years.
The real name for the Peanut is 'Clutch Drive'. It was used a lot in the first half of the 20th, but not much after. You can still buy screwdrivers for it, but the fasteners themselves are a special-order thing. I think that they're a Yank invention. They're even stronger than a Robertson. The 'slot' is shaped like an infinity symbol (without the cross-over); ie. 'peanut'-shaped. I was quite surprised to find that the dash panel on my '72 GM P-3500 step van was held together with them.

I have no idea what 'K' cider is unless someone uses that as an abbreviation for 'Okanagen', which is incredibly tasty and 7%. That stuff works like Australian port; you drink it like juice for a couple of hours with no noticeable effect, then it slams you like a pile-driver.

[Smurf]

At the present day no clear and consistent opinion seems to be held regarding classical philology. We are conscious of this in the circles of the learned just as much as among the followers of that science itself. The cause of this lies in its many-sided character, in the lack of an abstract unity, and in the inorganic aggregation of heterogeneous scientific activities which are connected with one another only by the name “philology.” It must be freely admitted that philology is to some extent borrowed from several other sciences, and is mixed together like a magic potion from the strangest liquids, metals, and bones. It may even be added that it likewise conceals within itself an artistic element, one which, on aesthetic and ethical grounds, may be called imperatival—an element that acts in opposition to its purely scientific behavior. Philology is composed of history just as much as of natural science or aesthetics: history, insofar as it endeavors to comprehend the manifestations of the individualities of peoples in ever new images and the prevailing law in the disappearance of phenomena; natural science, insofar as it strives to fathom the deepest instinct of man, that of speech; aesthetics, finally, because from various antiquities at our disposal it endeavors to pick out the so-called “classical” antiquity, with the pretension and intension of excavating the ideal world buried under it, and to hold up to the present the mirror of classical and everlasting standards. That these wholly and different scientific and aesthetic-ethical instincts have been associated under a common name, a kind of sham monarchy, is shown especially by the fact that philology at every period from its origin onwards was at the same time pedagogical. From the standpoint of the pedagogue, a choice was offered of those elements which were of the greatest educational value; and thus that science, or at least that scientific aim, which we call philology, gradually developed out of the practical calling originated by the exigencies of that science itself.

These philological aims were pursued sometimes with greater ardor and sometimes with less, in accordance with the degree of culture and the development of the taste of a particular period; but, on the other hand, the followers of this science are in the habit of regarding the aims which correspond to their several abilities as the aims of philology; whence it comes about that the estimation of philology in public opinion depends on the weight of the personalities of the philologists!

At the present time—that is to say, in a period which has seen men distinguished in almost every department of philology—a general uncertainty of judgment has increased more and more, and likewise a general relaxation of interest and participation in philological problems. Such an undecided and imperfect state of public opinion is damaging to a science in that its hidden and open enemies can work with much better prospects of success. And philology has a great many such enemies. Where do we not meet with them, these mockers, always ready to aim a blow at the philological “moles,” the animals that practice dust-eating ex professo, and that grub up and eat for the eleventh time what they have already eaten ten times before. For opponents of this sort, however, philology is merely a useless, harmless, and inoffensive pastime, an object of laughter and not of hate. But, on the other hand, there is a boundless and infuriated hatred of philology wherever an ideal, as such, is feared, where the modern man falls down to worship himself, and where Hellenism is looked upon as a superseded and hence very insignificant point of view. Against these enemies, we philologists must always count upon the assistance of artists and men of artistic minds; for they alone can judge how the sword of barbarism sweeps over the head of every one who loses sight of the unutterable simplicity and noble dignity of the Hellene; and how no progress in commerce or technical industries, however brilliant, no school regulations, no political education of the masses, however widespread and complete, can protect us from the curse of ridiculous and barbaric offenses against good taste, or from annihilation by the dreadfully beautiful Gorgon head of the classicist.

[Smurf]

While philology as a whole is looked on with jealous eyes by these two classes of opponents, there are numerous and varied hostilities in other directions of philology; philologists themselves are quarreling with one another; internal dissensions are caused by useless disputes about precedence and mutual jealousies, but especially by the differences—even enmities—comprised in the name of philology, which are not, however, by any means naturally harmonized instincts.

Science has this in common with art, that the most ordinary, everyday thing appears to it as something entirely new and attractive, as if metamorphosed by witchcraft and now seen for the first time. Life is worth living, says art, the beautiful temptress; life is worth knowing, says science. With this contrast the so heartrending and dogmatic tradition follows in a theory, and consequently in the practice of classical philology derived from this theory. We may consider antiquity from a scientific point of view; we may try to look at what has happened with the eye of a historian, or to arrange and compare the linguistic forms of ancient masterpieces, to bring them at all events under a morphological law; but we always lose the wonderful creative force, the real fragrance, of the atmosphere of antiquity; we forget that passionate emotion which instinctively drove our meditation and enjoyment back to the Greeks. From this point onwards we must take notice of a clearly determined and very surprising antagonism which philology has great caused to regret. From the circles upon whose help we must place the most implicit reliance—the artistic friends of antiquity, the warm supporters of Hellenic beauty and noble simplicity—we hear harsh voices crying out that it is precisely the philologists themselves who are the real opponents and destroyers of the ideals of antiquity. Schiller upbraided the philologists with having scattered Homer’s laurel crown to the winds. It was none other than Goethe who, in early life a supporter of Wolf’s theories regarding Homer, recanted in the verses: “With subtle wit, you took away our former adoration, the Iliad you may us say, was mere conglomeration. Think it not crime in any way: youth’s fervent adoration leads us to know the verity, and feel the poets unity.” [Goethe: “Homer wieder Homer,” in Epigrammatisch. Friedrich August Wolf (1759-1824), founder of classical philology as a scientific discipline, and author of Kleine Schriften (Minor Writings; Nietzsche read the 1869 edition), Prolegomena ad Homerum (Prolegomena to Homer, 1795), Darstellung der Altertumswissenschaft (Representation of Antiquity, 1807).] The reason of this want of piety and reverence must lie deeper; and many are in doubt as to whether philologists are lacking in artistic capacity and impressions, so that they are unable to do justice to the ideal, or whether the spirit of negation has become a destructive and iconoclastic principle of theirs. When, however, even the friends of antiquity, possessed of such doubts and hesitations, point to our present classical philology as something questionable, what influence may we not ascribe to the outbursts of the “realists” and the claptrap of the heroes of the passing hour? To answer the latter on this occasion, especially when we consider the nature of the present assembly, would be highly injudicious; at any rate, if I do not wish to meet with the fate of that sophist who, when in Sparta, publicly undertook to praise Herakles, when he was interrupted with the query: “But who then has found fault with him?” I cannot help thinking, however, that some of these scruples are still sounding in the ears of not a few in this gathering; for they may still be frequently heard from the lips of noble and artistically gifted men—as even an upright philologist must feel them, and feel them most painfully, at moments when his spirits are downcast. For the single individual there is no deliverance from the dissensions referred to; but what we contend and inscribe on our banner is the fact that classical philology, as a whole, has nothing whatsoever to do with the quarrels and bickerings of its individual disciples. The entire scientific and artistic movement of this peculiar centaur is bent, though with cyclopic slowness, upon bridging over the gulf between the ideal antiquity—which is perhaps only the magnificent blossoming of the Teutonic longing for the south—and the real antiquity; and thus classical philology pursues only the final end of its own being, which is the fusing together of primarily hostile impulses that have only forcibly been brought together. Let us talk as we will about the unattainability of this goal, and even designate the goal itself as an illogical pretension—the aspiration for it is very real; and I should like to try to make it clear by an example that the most significant steps of classical philology never lead away from the ideal antiquity, but to it; and that, just when people are speaking unwarrantably of the overthrow of sacred shrines, new and more worthy altars are being erected. Let us then examine the so-called Homeric question from this standpoint, a question the most important problem of which Schiller called a scholastic barbarism.
Quoted for Emphasis

[Smurf]

Once again my loyal minions has said something that needs to be QFE'd
The important problem referred to is the question of the personality of Homer.

We now meet everywhere with the firm opinion that the question of Homer’s personality is no longer timely, and that it is quite a different thing from the real “Homeric question.” It may be added that, for a given period—such as our present philological period, for example—the center of discussion may be removed from the problem of the poet’s personality; for even now a painstaking experiment is being made to reconstruct the Homeric poems without the aid of personality, treating them as the work of several different persons. But if the center of a scientific question is rightly seen to be where the swelling tide of new views has risen up, i.e. where individual scientific investigation comes into contact with the whole life of science and culture—if anyone, in other words, indicates a historical-cultural valuation as the central point of the question, he must also, in the province of Homeric criticism, take his stand upon the question of personality as being the really fruitful oasis in the desert of the whole argument. For in Homer the modern world, I will not say has learnt, but has examined, a great historical point of view; and, even without now putting forward my own opinion as to whether this examination has been or can be happily carried out, it was at all events the first example of the application of that productive point of view. By it scholars learnt to recognize condensed beliefs in the apparently firm, immobile figures of the life of the ancient peoples; by it they for the first time perceived the wonderful capability of the soul of a people to represent the conditions of its morals and beliefs in the form of a personality. When historical criticism has confidently seized upon this method of evaporating apparently concrete personalities, it is permissible to point to the first experiment as an important event in the history of sciences, without considering whether it was successful in this instance or not.

It is a common occurrence for a series of striking signs and wonderful emotions to precede an epoch-making discovery. Even the experiment I have just referred to has its own attractive history; but it goes back to a surprisingly ancient era. Friedrich August Wolf has exactly indicated the spot where Greek antiquity dropped the question. The zenith of the historical-literary studies of the Greeks, and hence also of their point of greatest importance—the Homeric question—was reached in the age of the Alexandrian grammarians. Up to this time the Homeric question had run through the long chain of a uniform process of development, of which the standpoint of those grammarians seemed to be the last link, the last, indeed, which was attainable by antiquity. They conceived the Iliad and the Odyssey as the creations of one single Homer; they declared it to be psychologically possible for two such different works to have sprung from the brain of one genius, in contradiction to the Chorizontes, who represented the extreme limit of the skepticism of a few detached individuals of antiquity rather than antiquity itself considered as a whole. To explain the different general impression of the two books on the assumption that one poet composed them both, scholars sought assistance by referring to the seasons of the poet’s life, and compared the poet of the Odyssey to the setting sun. The eyes of those critics were tirelessly on the lookout for discrepancies in the language and the thoughts of the two poems; but at this time also a history of the Homeric poem and its tradition was prepared, according to which these discrepancies were not due to Homer, but to those who committed his words to writing and those who sang them. It was believed that Homer’s poem was passed from one generation to another viva voce, and faults were attributed to the improvising and at times forgetful bards. At a certain given date, about the time of Pisistratus, the poems which had been repeated orally were said to have been collected in manuscript form; but the scribes, it is added, allowed themselves to take some liberties with the text by transposing some lines and adding extraneous matter here and there. This entire hypothesis is the most important in the domain of literary studies that antiquity has exhibited; and the acknowledgment of the dissemination of the Homeric poems by word of mouth, as opposed to the habits of a book-learned age, shows in particular a depth of ancient sagacity worthy of our admiration. From these times until the generation that produced Friedrich August Wolf we must take a jump over a long historical vacuum; but in our own age we find the argument left just as it was at the time when the power of controversy departed from antiquity, and it is a matter of indifference to us that Wolf accepted as certain tradition what antiquity itself had set up only as a hypothesis. It may be remarked a most characteristic of this hypothesis that, in the strictest sense, the personality of Homer is treated seriously; that a certain standard of inner harmony is everywhere presupposed in the manifestations of the personality; and that, with these two excellent auxiliary hypotheses, whatever is seen to be below this standard and opposed to this inner harmony is at once swept aside as un-Homeric. But even this distinguishing characteristic, in place of wishing to recognize the supernatural existence of a tangible personality, ascends likewise through all the stages that lead to that zenith, with ever-increasing energy and clearness. Individuality is ever more strongly felt and accentuated; the psychological possibility of a single Homer is ever more forcibly demanded. If we descend backwards from this zenith, step by step, we find a guide to the understanding of the Homeric problem in the person of Aristotle. Homer was for him the flawless and untiring artist who knew his end and the means to attain it; but there is still a trace of infantile criticism to be found in Aristotle—i.e., in the naive concession he made to the public opinion that considered Homer as the author of the original of all comic epics, the Margites. If we go still further backwards from Aristotle, the inability to create a personality is seen to increase; more and more poems are attributed to Homer; and every period lets us see its degree of criticism by how much and what it considers as Homeric. In this backward examination, we instinctively feel that away beyond Herodotus there lies a period in which an immense flood of great epics has been identified with the name of Homer

Ok, I am a very busy person. I need household repairs and yardwork done.

Right now I have several dozen projects that need to get done around the house and no time to do them. I should be outside right now sawing branches and weed eating around the flower beds. Instead I am working on a presentation for work. :grumpy:

I am now taking applications for a "kept" man.

You have to be willing to relocate. And like cats. And possums. And whatever else might wander into my yard. :tongue:

Why is everyone looking for Minions? Sorry Evo, Moonbear already offered me the ability to swoop and a silver lined cape and poofy hat costume. Smurf offered me a nation and shovelling. I suppose there would be shovelling in doing your yardwork and apparently lots of interaction with wildlife, which is a plus, but I'm still gonna have to stick with Moonbear's offer.

It's amazing the range of emotions you can convey by altering the size and shape of the smile. Right now it looks playful, like it's about to laugh; if you make it wider it just looks really, really happy. If you make it narrower top-to-bottom it looks like "I've got a secret" or an impish grin. If you touch it up with the freehand paint tool so it's not completely smooth it looks like it was sad but now it's feeling better. Once I even got it to look like it was radiating gratitude, but I don't remember what I did--I think the eye placement played a part in that one.

[BicycleTree]

Also if you increase the distance between the eyes and the mouth, it looks kind of mindless.

I never noticed they were missing (I don't look at the numbers), so I really didn't know what Dexter was talking about. Now that you mention it, though, the count goes 3991, 3993, 3995, 3996, 3998, EVO, 4004... Hmmmm.... :rolleyes: :uhh:

Wanna be a minion? SOS and I are taking the measurements for the uniforms. They're a nifty dark blue with silver-lined capes for the new recruits, and gold trim if you advance to captain. So far we've got Huck and Artman signed up. Oh, and apparently getting to swoop is a big selling point. :biggrin: Plus, VIP treatment at the cancer clinic. Non-minions have to wait in line.

I'll bring green apple martinis too - that always helps me to keep a steady hand. <-- :devil:

[Huckleberry]

As a matter of fact, I did just trim my fingernails.

Upon reading this I had a vision of a scruffy haired, mustachioed, and somewhat balding, droopy-faced seventies dj yelling at me "Give it to me straight doctor. I can take it."

Oddly enough someone just asked a question about fingernails in the other threads. Oddly enough I answered.

Huck

Uh-huh? Perhaps Danger will need some extra attention--maybe more than one cut, er I mean...definitely a puffy hat for him.

*reviews notes on measurements* Hmmm...it seems I measured 2 hands exactly, and you got two hands plus one finger there. We better recheck that.

I'll bring green apple martinis too - that always helps me to keep a steady hand. <-- :devil:

Oh, you're a wonderful minion! I might have to bring you up for promotion early. I think gold goes better with your complexion anyway, don't you agree?

You forgot the poofy hats. You can't forget the poofy hats and the swooping. We need poofy hats so we can swoop unexpectedly.

P.S. Is it bad that I got a 7 on a basic relativity test? How about if I took it again a few seconds later and got an 8? Itold you my attention span was short, maybe 10 seconds. Who are you people anyway?

What was the question again?
Huck

[Moonbear]

You forgot the poofy hats. You can't forget the poofy hats and the swooping. We need poofy hats so we can swoop unexpectedly.

Oh, no! Poofy hats aren't for swooping, poofy hats are for lulling the enemy into a false sense of security. The silver-lined capes are for swooping! Like this:
*swoops off sofa onto Danger with a flourish of cape*

Itold you my attention span was short, maybe 10 seconds. Who are you people anyway?

What was the question again?

You were just volunteering to help me train the other minions on swooping with a proper swooshing of capes. *hands Huck his brand new cape* Don't worry, we'll get the rest of the uniform made soon enough. :biggrin:

You forgot the poofy hats.

I'm too old to swoop. I don't know that a poofy hat will be all that advantageous for skulking. :confused:

Oh, no! Poofy hats aren't for swooping, poofy hats are for lulling the enemy into a false sense of security. The silver-lined capes are for swooping! Like this: *swoops off sofa onto Danger with a flourish of cape*Exactly. If we act like Spartans to instill fear, there wouldn't be a false sense of security. Well done Moonbear! :biggrin:

Right. I'm still working on his poofy hat. Do you think we should give them swords too, or should they have to provide their own? :wink:

[Moonbear]

Oh yeah... and access to the velvet rope.

Minions never admit defeat! You've just made the obvious choice. :approve: :biggrin: Of course the swooping will continue. That's our main training exercise; we do a lot of that. :approve:

[Moonbear]

Hey! What's that supposed to mean! :grumpy:

Um...it means as my first minion with the most seniority, you've just been promoted to captain as well. We'll have to measure you again to fit you with the gold-lined cape instead of the silver one. :tongue2:

[SOS2008]

Right. I'm still working on his poofy hat. Do you think we should give them swords too, or should they have to provide their own? :wink:Definitely a sword--way better than a cod. :biggrin:

[Moonbear]

Definitely a sword--way better than a cod. :biggrin:

Cod? No floppy fish here!

Okay minions, you each will wear a well-honed sword of hard, forged steel. :biggrin: We'll need to take a few more measurements to ensure the sheaths are properly prepared for your swords.

[Danger]

Was I drinking green apple martinis? And did I say I'd love you in the morning by any chance?
Uhhh... :uhh: yes. And yes, most assuredly you did. I even wrote it down so you wouldn't forget. :smile: Have another martini.

you each will wear a well-honed sword of hard, forged steel.
Is a broadsword essential, or will you settle for an epee? :redface:

[Moonbear]

Is a broadsword essential, or will you settle for an epee? :redface:

Sorry for the delay, I had to google "epee."

http://www.unh.edu/fencing/epee.html
The epee evolved in 19th century Europe as the premiere dueling weapon replacing its predecessor, the small sword....

The epee is a thrusting weapon only, so touches must be scored with the point.

Yes, that will be acceptable. :biggrin:

[Huckleberry]

Can I have a flamberge? Do they make sheaths for those or do they just hang from the belt? I can't wait to swoop with my flamberge.
Huck

[Danger]

Yes, that will be acceptable. :biggrin:
(:blushing: :cool: :smile:)
We really need a smilie for 'profound relief'.

[Danger]

I can't wait to swoop with my flamberge.
Huck
That sounds a little perilous. :uhh:

[Huckleberry]

Hey wait, maybe I don't want a flamberge. The German word for it means flaming and the French word means flambouyant. :rofl: You can't make this stuff up.

I need a swoopy sword. Maybe something like a scimitar.
Huck

[Smurf]

or you could just shower your enemies with ninja throwing stars

[Danger]

Hey wait, maybe I don't want a flamberge. The German word for it means flaming
I'm really glad you brought that up. It took more will-power than you realize for me to not mention it. :biggrin:

It's alright Danger, don't hold back. If you see an opportunity like that go for it.

I wasn't actually holding back through politeness; it was more laziness. I wanted to quote Smurf when he welcomed either you or Zygotic Embryo with a warning not to be 'too flaming'. I couldn't be bothered to try to find it.

Yes, safe sword use is important, and regular shining too.
Are you, by any chance, the official sword polisher?


Uh-uh - I always say I'll still "respect" you in the morning. Busted!
But you had a lot of martinis. On the other hand, so did I, so maybe I heard it wrong. :redface:

[Huckleberry]

Or he could just not shower.

Nah, that would make it too difficult to swoop unexpectedly. Plus I wouldn't want to get my cape any dirtier than I had to.

[SOS2008]

Are you, by any chance, the official sword polisher?I will need to check with Moonbear. You guys are making so many sword requests, I think we may need more female minions to help. We already need someone to take charge of the velvet rope. :eek:

As admiral here, I hand out the sword polishing duties!

*paces back and forth in front of the minions* Now, everyone line up for the white glove inspection! *begins examining swords, looks closely* Now, hold those swords at attention! Hmmm...this one doesn't look polished enough. *rubs sword* See how much better it looks when properly polished? Now, take note minions, you're not going to get the best shine if you're rubbing the sword while it's still dry. A little spit polishing goes a long way. *licks sword and rubs it* See?
*continues pacing in front of the troops*
And remember you also need to properly care for the sheath for the sword. They need to be properly conditioned so they don't dry out. If you attempt to put your sword into a dry sheath, you run a great risk of injury to you and your sword.

[cronxeh]

ah for crying out loud.. go to sleep :grumpy:

Good idea, though sometimes it's just easier to...oh dear...I was about to say break a few ball bearings in the washer motor, but that sounds all wrong. :uhh: :bugeye: Yeah, I think we'll stick with awarding lots of medals. Medals pinned to the capes will look really snazzy. :biggrin: SOS, you're in charge of recommending minions for medals. But first, I'll award you with this medal of valor for going above and beyond the call of duty keeping the minion's uniforms clean. Oh, and another medal is in order for doing all those uniform measurements in the constant presence of Danger. :biggrin:

Oh, right, when you're displaying or using your swords for purely ceremonial purposes or during practice sessions, remember to use the safety tips. They just slide on like this. *demonstrates proper use of safety tips on swords*

*clears throat* Yes admiral, the spit shine is helpful.

Good job! I believe that deserves yet another medal.

[Danger]

Don't look at me, I'm awake for the night I think. I took a nap after mowing the lawn, and then another one after doing the rest of the yard work today, and then went out for ice cream and came back and took another nap (I sort of managed to dehydrate myself enough doing the yard work to wind up with a killer headache...but once I got some food and water into me, and a few naps, I'm good for the night now...we seem to have skipped directly from freezing to heat wave and missed Spring again).

[Moonbear]

Very good. SOS, this might be medal-worthy of Danger. What's your recommendation?

I'm truly honoured, Ms. Admiral, Sir. If, however, I don't log off and bag some ZZZ's immediately, it will have to be posthumous. I really am exhausted and tomorrow's a day shift. I'll check in while I'm getting ready for work. 'night.

Well, it's bedtime for Bonzo. I've got class in a few hours and I have to wake up early to do my homework. I'm such a bad minion! I'll submit myself for punishment at the first opportunity.

[Danger]

Just up for my midnight snack and thought I'd check in. Gone again.

[Artman]

Okay, so we have minions swooshing around, velvet ropes, poofy hats, spit shined swords, capes, and glittering metals; sounds like Liberace in the French foriegn legion. :biggrin:

I put my practice tip on, but my sword needs a good going over with some spit and polish and then a good, hard, long, thrusting practice. :tongue2:

(Singing) <Yo ho yo ho the minion's life for me.> :biggrin:

What have you done to quote-proof your post? I tried clicking on "quote" and nothing appeared! :grumpy: Now I have to do it the long way.

What about bodkins?

Another one I had to look up.

The fourth definitions down at http://www.wordreference.com/definition/bodkin
a dagger with a slender blade

(I hope you weren't referring to the first few definitions, which are sewing needles and something for threading ribbon through a needle :rolleyes:)

Hmm...I don't think so. Size does matter for minions' weapons, and short AND slender just isn't going to look right with the cape and poofy hat.

Edit: Ha ha...no wonder you were quote-proofed...you had deleted your post while I was trying to quote it. Too late! You've been caught with the short sword! :rofl:

Well, I have only spoken hypothetically, of course, and certainly no first person reference assumptions should be made merely on account of my mention of bodkins.

Uh huh. :rolleyes:

Absolutely! They serve a dual purpose. Aside from lulling the enemy into a false sense of security so you can swoop on them when they are unsuspecting, it can also be used to quickly conceal your weapon should it inadvertently become exposed at the improper time.

[arildno]

It is very difficult to conceal a broadsword quickly. A bodkin, however..

[Artman]

I find, after much trying, that I cannot spit polish my own sword. (I fear that if I could I would never go to work.) :biggrin: But I do get a nice buff polish, will that suffice? I think I need an inspection. :tongue2: (A platonic one that will in no way upset my wife, or APOTWINWUMW for short) :biggrin:

We have plenty of volunteers in the cancer clinic who can help you with that spit polishing you need.

When sailors graduated from their Navy SEALs training they would have their medals pinned directly on their chest, with a resounding thump I imagine. Having met a few SEALs I would say it didn't do much to keep them tranquil very long. Come to think of it I don't think I would want to sit still for someone who wanted to stick a needle in me either.

Congrats upon the birth of Huck Jr. I probably won't post upon him, but will check in from time to time in an unclely manner to make sure he's okay. I will give you my answer to his title, though. If you snoop back through the freakazoid thread ('Cosmology....') and either the one about the Pope's death or the Gospel According to Judas or whatever, you'll see that my old man was a preacher. His definition of religion was "one's total response to the whole of life". I take that as my own, by which Science most assuredly is a religion. By that same definition, even I have a religion, which I put down on any form that still has the audacity to ask: Semi-militant atheist. (You can believe whatever you like and I'll discuss it or argue it or totally avoid discussing it at your pleasure without it affecting friendship; if you try to convert me, I will fall on you like a ball of neutronium.)

They have really toned down that shellback ceremony for the crossing of the equator. I went through it umm, lets see, errr, early 97 I think. Feels like longer than that, but I'm pretty sure that's right. We had just come from the coast of Albania in the Adriatic. We were picking up refugees who were fleeing en masse on tiny fishing boats. One boat even tried to board us :eek: climbing up some rigging for some smaller boats that we had let down to help out other refugees. This was all months, maybe half a year before I heard anything about it in the U.S. press.

Immediately after that we went down to Zaire to evacuate some people. That was just before it became the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We crossed the equator at the 0/0 mark and had a shellback ceremony. 0/0 mark is emerald shellback, 0/180 is diamond shellback, and I think anywhere else is just a shellback.

There was no hitting or kissing of anyone's belly as the site says. It was a humiliating experience but fun too. We did things like four people trying to blow water out of a padeye at once. We walked around in human chains holding the hands inbetween our legs. We wore our clothing inside out and painted big "P" for polywog over it all. We had to crawl through carefully selected garbage, were baptized into shellbackhood and made some speeches or vows or some such to King Neptune. The worst part by far was eating a few teaspoons of cod liver oil and dried cottage cheese. It was fun though and afterwards I threw out my sneakers. I had no hope the stink would ever come out. They were gonners.

Why did I write all that?

Why is it that as soon as you get a group of men together, they turn into the Lord of the Flies boys? :rolleyes:

Would you have it any other way?

I heard that before the first settlements in the United States there were European men here. Because there were no women the men never formed established settlements. I would call it the Lord of the Flies social construct effect. There's probably a real term for it but I don't know it.

Why do I start so many posts with I heard once, or I read somewhere? I kind of irk myself writing that all the time and feel like I don't really know anything, just have a lot of opinions. Oh well, I guess the only alternative is to not post anything. Some might say that would be the better option

[hypatia]

Nice first thread you have there Huck.
The men I go hunting with are so use to me{one of the guys}, that they revert to"Lord of the Flys" with in a hour of arriving at camp. I'm thinking it must be genetic.

[Huckleberry]

Lord of the Flies social construct effect = The ability of a group of men when not in the prescence of women to only get as far as "Conch" when trying to rationalize the word "conscious." Note that whoever holds the physical representation of consciousness is the only one allowed to think and speak at the same time. Otherwise any resemblance of organization would immediately break down into its composite parts and men would wander the Earth aimlessly.

(edit)Did I spell that right? How embarrassing would that be. Well, atleast I've already written my excuse into the post. :uhh:

Hey, thanks Hypatia! I'm not sure how it will go over but I hope that the arguments aren't because it wasn't well thought out.

Yeah, I think it is a subconscious thing based on authority and breeding rights. Maybe it is genetic, some throwback to ancient times like the 1950's. I'm curious to see how the role of men will change with the rapidly changing role of women in society. I have a feeling it will be interesting. Could go either way still (greater increase in aggression to compesate, or more of a blending of male and female qualities in both genders).

I think it was Animal Planet I was watching this show about some bird that lives on the Nile river. With the decrease of the crocodile population, their largest predator, the birds began to evolve. The females became larger than the males and began to search for food and bring it back to the nest. The males became smaller and stayed at the nest to keep the eggs warm. I wish I could remember the rationale behind that. Now that I think about it they might have mentioned something about DDT in the episode as well which is still used in many places in Africa because of the high risk of malaria.

Posturing between two males still exists but it is a completely different type of posturing. ie. Who can fart for volume (sound and cubic area), toxicity and duration. Who can urinate for distance. Any competetitive exploit will do, the more physical the better, hence the birth of sports.

When left to our own devices those are the things the stereotypical man is prone to do. A whole different form of posturing is done around women.

*sniffles, rubs eyes* Bunny slippers! I remember my bunnies. :smile: There was Bugsy and Pointsettia, which were my rabbits. They were supposed to be a male and a female, but my parents were a bit challenged when it came to determining the sex of pets they bought for me, so they wound up both being females. Then they decided they'd try to get a male rabbit (they wanted to breed them, though I don't know what plans they had for the baby bunnies since I was too young), and they brought home a really cute black and white rabbit that we named Patches. But they gave that one to my sister. :grumpy: (I didn't like sharing pets with my sister, especially since Patches was the only friendly one that liked being held and petted.) Well, it turns out Patches was a girl bunny too, so there were no baby bunnies to be had, and my parents gave up on buying bunnies.

We then moved onto guinea pigs. My parents were no longer interested in the pet breeding idea, so attempted to get two females, and sure enough, we got a male and a female. There was Muppet and Moppet (hey, I was only 5 when I got to name them). Moppet died, so they bought Moppet II. They were supposed to be kept in separate cages, but I felt sorry for them not being allowed to play together...they really liked playing together. :biggrin: Little did I know that I would start my life of animal breeding at 5 years old. Muppet (thereafter known as Mama) and Moppet II had three baby guinea pigs...a black male with just a white spot on his nose, who I named Spooky (he was my favorite; actually, he was everyone's favorite, just a friendly little thing), an orange and black female that I named Ding (hey, do I have to keep reminding you I was only 5?), and then an all brown one that I wanted to name Dong, but my parents insisted I couldn't name my guinea pigs Ding and Dong, so I went with the rather bland name Cocoa. Poor Cocoa grew up to resent his boring name and turned bad. We had to give him away because he kept fighting with his brother and kept biting me when I tried to play with him.

Oh, I forgot the parakeets. I had blue parakeets (as far back as I can remember, we had a parakeet). They were named Tiny. :uhh: Yep, all of them. Then, one day Tiny got sick and went to the vet and came back as a green parakeet! :bugeye: It was the medicine they gave him, uh huh, that's what my mommy told me. :approve: I eventually learned that my mommy lied to me about a lot of things like that. Santa Claus was a big lie, and so was the Easter Bunny and even the Tooth Fairy! :frown: Is it any wonder I wound up so messed up as an adult, with all those lies my mommy told me as a child! :cry:

They were supposed to be kept in separate cages, but I felt sorry for them not being allowed to play together...they really liked playing together. :biggrin: Little did I know that I would start my life of animal breeding at 5 years old.Uh-hum, and an interest in sex as well?
...I wanted to name Dong, but my parents insisted I couldn't...Thank goodness there was some supervision on this one.

Maybe we can find some more green tea. Thanks for the night-nite story. :biggrin:

5 year olds make the coolest pet names. I remember my first pet. It was a grey and brown striped cat. Looked something like a calico. My sister and I had the responsibility to name him. I went first (cause I was older :rolleyes: ) and decided on Charlie. My sister, who was 4 or 5 at the time decided on Chin. So we called him Charlie Chin. He was the bestestest cat ever. The only cat I ever knew who would come when you called him. He took his time about it, but he always came over. Somebody ran over him one day and I saw my father digging a hole by a stone near the road.

Cool name for a cat! When I was 5, it never occurred to me to give a pet a people name. But I like how you gave your cat two names. Very cute.

Somebody ran over him one day and I saw my father digging a hole by a stone near the road.

:cry: That's such a sad story! :cry:

[Huckleberry]

Yeah, I was upset for a long time about Mr. Chin. Just a few months ago I passed the place I used to live then and I saw where the rock was. It's not there anymore but I remember the place. The first thing I thought was "That's where Charlie Chin is."

That cat made a strong impression on me. We had several pets later and some of them didn't even get names. They never really imprinted on me. I don't know if it was because I was getting older or if Charlie Chin was just an awesome cat. I prefer to think as Charlie Chin as an awesome cat. It seems to give his memory more meaning to me.

We fart, but they aren't as lethal (hence being able to sneak them without you noticing).

Won't Artman be pleased when he returns and sees what new lows this thread has sunk to? :rofl:I just can't believe this! Poor little Franzbear! the lanquage that he is being subjected to. :grumpy:



So, did you hear about the old lady that went to the doctor and told him, "Doctor, I keep passing gas. Now, they don't smell bad and they are silent but it happens all the time."

The doctor said, "Here are some pills, take these and come back to me in a week."

A week later the lady came back and said, "Doctor, I took those pills and they don't work. I'm still passing gas, they're still silent, but now it smells awful!"

The doctor said, "Okay, we've corrected your sinus problem; now let's see what we can do about your hearing." :tongue:

[Danger]

Geez, it just isn't safe to turn my back on you lot for a second, is it? I think that this is going to hurt my typing fingers. (Here Lucy...)

Did the term 'poofy hat' even exist back when you went bareheaded, or is there a correlation? :rolleyes:

Perhaps you should get your wife to volunteer over there
It would probably cramp his style having her so close, but I would be interested in meeting her... (purely from an anthropological perspective, of course).

I don't know if it's okay to swoop upon a fellow minion
Please...

The men I go hunting with
With or for?

Who can fart for volume (sound and cubic area), toxicity and duration. Who can urinate for distance.
Just make sure not to combine them. Those liquid farts are the worst!

:yuck: Just how do men manage to accomplish such lethal farts anyway? :yuck:
Practise, baby... lots of practise. (And a carefully selected diet. It's the only possible reason to eat brocolli.)

This reminds me of another birthday card--I wanted to get it for MIH. It said something like: "Is it your birthday? I thought those farts smelled like cake"
:rofl: :rofl: Just be damned careful with the candles...

And to digress further (in the digress thread that it is) I use to work with a girl whose husband would hold her under the blankets and fart. SO romantic. :yuck:
That 'mistake' of mine that married my best friend, after living with him for over a year, wanted to have him put in his wedding vows that he wouldn't do that any more.

Cool name for a cat! When I was 5, it never occurred to me to give a pet a people name. But I like how you gave your cat two names. Very cute.
I'm not going to, at this point, say anything about my first favourite cat. The last one before Lucy, I bought from the Calgary animal shelter when he was 10 years old. His favourite thing was to run up my body and wrap himself around my neck like a stole. That's how I carried him. He'd stay there for hours. The only problem was that if he started to slip, I'd have holes in my shoulders for a week. He was a tortoise-shell. I hate Siamese cats only because their voices are so annoying. This sucker was 16 pounds, and turned out to have a Siamese voice in proportion to his size. And he never shut up. All bloody day and half the night hollering for no reason at all. My mother named him 'Dingbat McBeth'. 'Dingbat' from the Gilbert and Sullivan song about 'Dingbat the singing cat; he sang so loud that he sang flat', and 'McBeth' from the Shakespeare quote that 'McBeth murders sleep'. He died almost exactly on his 20th birthday, and, good little atheist that I am, I talked to him for 2 hours while I buried him in his favourite sweater and Kitty Litter.
Lucy, incidentally, is the only cat I've ever known who has absolutely no idea what 'kitty' means, but answers to her name.

So, did you hear about the old lady that went to the doctor... ... let's see what we can do about your hearing." :tongue:

Moonbear - Why did you store the shifter there in that zippered holder? (edited this line because I noticed it sounded REALLY bad the way it was!)

cronxeh - To keep it warm. It works better if it's warm. Now you grab the stick.

Moonbear - Oh. I thought shifting would be hard, but not with you teaching me. It's not hard at all!

cronxeh - Uh...let's just get on with the lesson.

Moonbear - I thought the shift lever would be longer.

cronxeh - This is just a three speed.

Moonbear - I want to drive a big rig.

cronxeh - Look, do you want to learn or not?!

Moonbear - Yeah. I'm sorry.

cronxeh - Never mind. I'm not in the mood any more. The lesson is over. I'm putting the shifter away in it's case. <zip>. I'm going over to the cancer clinic and see if anyone over there wants to learn to drive a stick.


Or something like that. (Just kidding cronxeh and Moonbear.) :biggrin:

Hey, how'd you get that picture of my desk? Actually, it's when I can see the top of the desk that I have the most difficult finding things. Something about everything being hidden away in file cabinets and drawers that makes it difficult to find them when I need them. It's much easier to keep everything within reach on my desk.

Okay, my desk isn't quite as bad as the one in the cartoon, but when I was in grad school, one of the other grad students did have a desk that looked like that. We moved all the other desks away from hers because we were afraid we might lose someone in the avalanche if a breeze blew through the office the wrong way. :surprised

We had such beautiful, perfect weather in L.A. today. The kind of day that makes you feel glad to be alive. I sat outside in the sunshine today and ate a ripe tangerine from my neighbor's tree, licking the sticky, sweet juice off my wrist, not caring who looked at me.
Tonight it's nice, too. I'll open my window now and let the gentle, cool breeze of honeysuckle drift through while I sleep.

[The_Professional]

LOL..hahaa..oh man, that's a good one MIH

[Huckleberry]

I live in Mass. right on the banks of the Merrimack river. We've had lots of rain the last few weeks and with all the melted snow I thought the backyard might turn into a swimming pool. Thankfully it didn't get near that high, but there were flood warnings in a few parts of the state.

[Moonbear]

That would explain the snow this time of year. Mass. is great in the summer and fall, but it's not the place I want to be in winter and spring.

That would be ironic if you actually were my biology teacher. Stranger things have happened. For example, when I was stationed in Virginia I was talking with a friend of mine at lunch. He was saying something about his experiences growing up in PA and mentioned a name of a friend of mine that I have known for 20 years who used to live there. After discussing it, turns out we knew the same person.

Once at the beginning of one of my biology classes I was having an argument with a classmate. She was saying "Money is good." and I said "Nobody ever did anything good for want of money." We debated for a little and it turned more into a personal argument. I said "I don't care about your beliefs." She replied something like "Wait another ten years and see what you believe then." The whole thing was a bit pointless and I regret saying some of those things. I felt insulted and discounted her beliefs by saying that I didn't care about them, which I immediately regretted saying but was too angry to take back at that moment.

It's a longshot but if you remember that and once had curly, brown hair then... wouldn't that be awkward?

Hi folks;
I just got here. There was something I had to take care of first. Did you realize that they've opened a juice bar in the clinic?:tongue2:

For anyone who cares to sympathize, it snowed on me again last night. This morning the snow was gone, but everything was covered with frost. Now the frost is gone and it's about 60ºF. out there. I've heard it said about other places, but I'm pretty sure it started here because we've been saying it since the 40's: if you don't like the weather in Cochrane, wait a minute. :rolleyes:

I've always liked drinks with garnishes and ornaments in them, like hunks of fruit and those cute little parasols. We could probably charge eight bucks for those. Especially if we served them in a coconut shell or a hollowed out pineapple.

Physiology...again?! Stop playing around here and get thee to the biology forum! If it's any consolation, I struggled with physiology in college too for some reason; it just wasn't taught in a way that was conducive to me learning it or something. Since then, I've done a post-doc in a physiology department and am qualified to teach that class! But, I find the classes I struggled with are the ones I can teach best now since I know where all the stumbling blocks are. I really didn't figure out what I was doing until the year I took off between undergrad and grad school...somehow during that year, my lightbulb finally lit up. :biggrin:

[cronxeh]

no im just generally a lazy bastard

i actually enjoyed that class very much but fall2004 was a very, very sluggish semester for me.. i withdrew from physiology and a critical chemE class - after which i had 2 choices - either graduate a year later, or change majors (and I chose the second for some reason - mechE). but now i find out they will be offering that class over the summer - im excited, i dont like mechE that much (statics smells bad). so hopefully over the summer ill take that class, thermo that i missed this semester, and in fall ill be junior back in "chemical & biological engineering" major

I haven't spent quite enough time with cats to really get the accent right. They still make fun of me and walk away when I try talking in Catish. But don't they sound more like a medium-pitched mraaaa? I have to tell you, they are pretty miffed about how we mangle their language. That's why they have such a superior attitude, since we're too stupid to pronounce their words correctly. :tongue2:

Not with that attitude, you won't.

I tried that already but they said something about getting vaccinated before being allowed on the premises. I couldn't find a vet to give me hampster/ell/pigeon shots. But I did find the managers car keys. Don't worry, he won't need them.

Good point. I once thought I saw a circus on the cieling. Those clown faces were frightening when they morph and change color and offered me candy. A little advice for everyone, never accept candy from illusionary clowns.

Hi everyone. I'm having a great evening. First of all, I'm on vacation. Yeah!

Then I decided to work on a little solid state amplifier I built that wasn't working. It wasn't doing anything at all, no hiss, no crackle, nothing. I thought I really screwed up the wiring or soldering or something. So after a week of being too depressed to work on it again, I decided that I should test the battery. It was completely dead (I thought it had some juice left, but it had none at all. I put another battery in and it crackled and popped until I got the battery in, then I plugged in my guitar and now it works great!

:biggrin: :rofl: :biggrin:

Oh, yep, scratch marks are on-the-house for members. We can provide them on one shoulder or both, and you have the option of deep puncture wounds or long gouges, with or without the Lee Press-On Nails left in your flesh (there's a small extra charge for the nails being left in your flesh to cover our replacement costs). Personally, I recommend just a few deep puncture wounds, maybe just from two fingers, otherwise it might look like it was faked. :biggrin:

So? You could drop the sucker in the middle of the Arctic Ocean and he'd find an island with internet access if it meant he could twit me. (I know, because it's mutual.) :biggrin:


A programmer and an Engineer are sitting next to each other on a long flight from Los Angelos to New York. The Programmer leans over to the Engineer and asks if he would like to play a fun game. The Engineer just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.

The Programmer persists and explains that the game is real easy and a lotta fun. He explains, "I ask you a question, and if you don’t know the answer, you pay me $5. Then you ask me a question, and if I don’t know the answer, I pay you $5."

Again the Engineer politely declines and tries to get to sleep.

The Programmer, now somewhat agitated, says "Ok, if you don’t know the answer, you pay me $5, and if I don’t know the answer, I’ll pay you $50!"

This catches the engineer’s attention, and he sees no end to this torment unless he plays, so he agrees to the game. The programmer asks the first question: "What is the distance from the Earth to the moon?"

The engineer doesn’t say a word, but simply reaches into his wallet, pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the programmer. Now, it’s the engineer’s turn. He asks the programmer, "What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down on four?"

The programmer looks up at him with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all of his references. He taps into the Airphone with the modem and searches the net and the library of Congress. Frustrated, he sends e-mail to his coworkers - all to no avail. After about an hour, he wakes the engineer and hands him $50. He politely takes the $50 and turns away to try to get back to sleep.

The programmer, more than a little miffed, shakes the engineer and asks, "Well, so what’s the answer?" Without a word, the engineer reaches into his wallet, hands the programmer $5, and turns away to get back to sleep.

Yes, please!! And I think it will be better if it comes from you. Thank you SOS2008, I know how much fun this could have been for you, or for that matter anyone who truly appreciates the finer points of our friend Danger. Once again, thank you for allowing me the opportunity. :biggrin:

So, what is the "Little Bus" reference? Let me begin with another question: Did you go to the zoo much in school? Like almost every day? With all of the other classes, perhaps? :smile:

On their many trips to the zoo, the special classes in the USA would go by bus, a small bus. This bus was full of a loving, kind, group of terribly-picked-on children that happed to also be intellectually challenged. They called these the special classes in USA schools (not sure what they call them now).

So basically she insulted you, but it's cool cause she let me tell you about it. :biggrin:

We only pick on you because you have a cool sense of humor (also because I know you would not let an opportunity go by to get me as well. :biggrin: )

A pastor, a doctor and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers.

The engineer fumed, "What's with these guys? We must have been waiting for 15 minutes!"

The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such ineptitude!"

The pastor said, "Hey here comes the greenskeeper. Let's have a word with him."

[dramatic pause]

"Hi George. Say what's with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow aren't they?"

The greenskeeper replied, "Oh, yes, that's a group of blind firefighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime."

The group was silent for a moment.

The pastor said, "That's so sad, I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight."

The doctor said, "Good idea. And I'm going to contact my opthalmologist buddy and see if there's anything he can do for them."

The engineer said, "Why can't they play at night?"

[Huckleberry]

ARTMAN!!!! you're finally here. I was just dying to tell that story. I would have embellished a few more points. :biggrin:

[cronxeh]

A bunch of engineers are sitting around at a party, discussing the nature of the God, and who designed women.

The mechanical engineer states that God must also be a mechanical engineer because "if you look at all the pulleys and levers that drive the body, how the tendons and muscles and bones all work together, well, it's just amazing."

The chemical engineer says that no, God has to be a chemical engineer because "if you look at all the chemical processes that drive the body, how the hormones and the brain and the glands and everything else all interact, well, it's just astounding."

The electrical engineer says that no, God has to be an electrical engineer because "if you look at the circuitry of the body, how the thousands upon millions of nerve cells transmit signals from one part to another, well, it boggles the mind."

The civil engineer speaks up last of all and says, no, God is definitely a civil engineer, because "only a civil engineer would run a sewer through a playground. "

I wont trust my own hamster with Moonbear..

I mean she did, after all, say this:

This points to a major flaw in the whole hamster power generation scheme. The only thing hamsters love more than running on wheels is chewing on power cords. All it takes is one clever escapee to shut down the entire operation by chewing through all the power cords (they are amazingly quick about this too). There are rumors that the huge blackout along the Northeast was started by an escaped hamster (okay, there aren't, but I'll start one).

I suspected that it was something like that, but I have no reference point.
There were no 'special ed' classes when I went to school. The less fortunate kids just ended up a few grades behind. The really less fortunate either stayed home or were institutionalized. Also, we never went to a zoo. In public school, there were no field trips at all. In high school, we only went to 1—the Henry Ford Museum & Greenfield Villiage in Detroit.

We only pick on you because you have a cool sense of humor (also because I know you would not let an opportunity go by to get me as well. :biggrin: )
Thanks for that :rolleyes: . You do owe me a couple. I was busy while you weren't paying attention.

We have him in protective custody. Somewhere along the way, he forgot to read the Manly Man Manual, and you wouldn't believe all the attempts that have been made on his life! (Or maybe you would.)

Before you leave tell her that you need to pick something up at the sporting goods store. Stay there.
Ah, yes, this works best for all involved. Don't forget to hand over your credit card first, otherwise she's going to have to come looking for you.

Do you think we haven't read that book too? You'll have to come up with something better than those. :grumpy:


No way out of this one. Get used to it. :cry:

:biggrin: Ah, I see you've been well-trained! :approve: We can let you slide on all the others as long as you get that one right. :rofl:

[Math Is Hard]

Just for that, I'm sending you to this class. :rofl:
EVENING CLASSES FOR MEN!!!

I need to see an endocrinologist. My testosterone levels must be way too high. I would probably flunk all of these classes.

[Moonbear]

Artman, you're leaving???

I will take care of little Franzbear. Franzbear will be safe with me. :approve: We're going beaver hunting. Look at the adorable beaver costume aunt Evo made him. Can't tell him from a real beaver can you? What? Oh, thats so you don't frighten the other beaver, dear. :approve:

Oh my! :bugeye: What are you teaching little franzbear?! Don't you think he's still a little young for that? And to have his aunt tag along?! Let him learn the same way other adolescents learn; leave him with an internet connection in his room and a door that locks.

Okay little franzbear, back to your room. *click* There you go, all locked in properly. *sniffs* Is that smoke? I'll go check. Don't worry franzbear, just stay put in your locked room. Your daddy left you a fifth of vodka and your uncle Danger tossed in a pack of cigarettes. Why don't you make yourself comfortable on the bed with your computer and smokes?

[Danger]

Hey Danger, just saw your photo in the members photo thread. That's really highbrow stuff if you know what I mean. You should probably see a dermatologist though.
It's not actually a medical condition. It goes away when I give in and buy a new razor blade. They start to bite after 2 or 3 years.

MIH, I love your new signature. The avatar scares the hell out of me, but I love the signature. :wink:

Let's go. Just bear in mind that the Tiki bar only has one (unisex) bathroom. I don't mind if you leave the seat up when you're done but some folks get upset about it! :smile:

[Moonbear]

Guys! We have a traitor in our midst.

Oh, that one was easy to get ahold of. We just went looking for it when you rolled over and went to sleep. The Manly Man Manual (or M3) has been much harder to obtain. (This is actually something that started out on another board I used to visit that's pretty inactive anymore.) A few of our best teams have been able to slip past the guards and get glimpses of a few pages using such trickery as distracting you with short skirts and low cut blouses and mirrored floors, real dangerous work, but we've never gotten the full manual. :biggrin:

Smurf, I have a really nice blue polka dot dress for you that I'll trade for some insider information on the current security measures, how many guards are in place, etc.

No, there's no need for them to leave the seat up. In one of the M3 chapters our spies were able to photograph, it states the following:

Chapter 53, section 2: Toilet Seats
The manly man's natural urge is to pee outside. The female population wishes to suppress this by forcing us to use indoor plumbing. Years of research indicate that leaving the toilet seat up is a simple, yet effective way of irritating the females of the species. Our best hope for future generations of manly men is to use this simple tactic until we convince the female population to banish us from indoor facilities so we can once again satisfy the primal urge to pee on trees and mark our territory. Severe penalties will be enforced for those who forget to leave the toilet seat up.

I don't see any reason to fight this one. Just send them outside to that nice oak tree and we can enjoy a nice clean bathroom with the toilet seat properly lowered. :biggrin:

[Danger]

[Math Is Hard]

One thing I've never understood is the male urge to pee ON something. What is this about? Several times I've come out of a club at night and seen some guy peeing ON the front tire of my car. He could have gone ANYWHERE!! Maybe it was because he was drunk and needed a focal point???

[Danger]

One thing I've never understood is the male urge to pee ON something.
I can't explain it—it's just something that we have to do. It's the same sort of thing as when women start babbling like idiots and making weird noises when they get close to a baby. :confused:

They mark their territory in many ways, some very subtle except to the trained eye. There is information in the M3 on this as well:
Chapter 103, section 1: Territory
The manly man's natural urge is to mark his territory. Peeing on objects is far to obvious to the female population. One way is to designate areas as yours, such as the garage. Other ways to make your mark is to leave your things laying around, and to Dang, that was all I could get of that page in the manual!

I almost included that section as well, about them requiring a vertical surface to pee on. But part of the film was exposed in the struggle to keep the camera from the guards, so I couldn't cite it verbatim.

I think on the next mission, our spies are going to have to look deeper into this issue of peeing on MIH's car tires. There's either some loophole, or they're breaking the regulations about car washing and waxing as signs of territoriality. I'm sure there's some loophole in there for off-roading, as long as you promptly wash and wax as soon as you've shown off the mud-spattered vehicle to your buddies as proof of your off-roading experience, but I'm not sure that covers the tire thing.

There are 80 of them, and I'll probably never make any new ones. They're not great, but I hate to waste them with nobody ever seeing them. As I said, this is the first one I did.

Maybe this was just a rogue occurence.

It might not be a rogue occurence that MIH's car tires are chosen. Don't expect this to make much sense, but there is probably some truth to it.

For some reason when peeing outdoors it is nice to have something to pee on. I think that if I pee on the ground I might get my feet wet. Better to have a target to aim at and if there is a purpose to it then it is even more satisfying. Peeing on a plant or tree, or in the snow, or even a rock is just more satisfying. Drunk men (from personal experience) like to have something to lean against when they pee. A car in a parking lot is as good as anything to lean against. But why choose MIH's car? If a guy knew it was MIH's car then it could be a way to mark her as his territory. Whoever peed on her tires probably knew it was her car.

I've never seen the Anna Nicole show either, or maybe once I ran into it while flipping channels when visiting someone else's house or some such thing. But I've seen her on interviews here and there, and what was that award show where she rambled on and on and seemed to be on some seriously strong drugs?

But right now, I've got a bigger problem. The creepy wood roaches have been making their way indoors. (These aren't your icky dirty apartment style roaches that run and hide when you turn the lights on, these are native to the great outdoors around here...but they still are roaches and they are creepy to see inside). Fortunately, only the flightless females have found their way in (though, they better not be laying eggs anywhere!) I don't think I could handle having the males flying at me (they're attracted to lights). The winged ants were last week's problem. We just did not have a cold enough winter to kill off many bugs. I knew that meant it was going to be a buggy spring and summer. :rolleyes: I looked up some info on the wood roaches just to make sure that's what they were, and learned that their mating season is in May and June. Great, they're already running amok and it's not even the mating season yet. I think I need to get my screens back up on my deck again very soon.

We have had more rain than usual here, and the mosquitos (Nile virus) have been a big issue--ruins one's evening for sure!

[Huckleberry]

Those roaches probably have nests near your house. I once ran into a nest while doing a little light landscaping. The grass above it looked off, and breaking the ground with a shovel it looked like there was fungus in their tunnels. They looked like roaches but these ones seemed more orange/brown in color than the ones I've seen before. Maybe you could find their nests and eliminate the problem at the source.

[Evo]

But right now, I've got a bigger problem. The creepy wood roaches have been making their way indoors.You've forgotten already? SKUNKS! Skunks eat insects, spiders, snakes. Get yourself a few skunks and your problems will be over. :approve:

Those outdoor wood roaches are a real pain. I grew up in a heavily wooded area in Houston and no one can keep those things out, they just keep coming in. :devil:

I am glad to say I have been roach free since I left Houston. :biggrin:

[Math Is Hard]

If a guy knew it was MIH's car then it could be a way to mark her as his territory. Whoever peed on her tires probably knew it was her car.
Well, shoot, I'm just glad he decided to "claim" my car instead of me! :rofl:

Where is everyone tonight?

(sound of crickets chirping)

Hello? Hello? Hello?

Is anybody here? Is anybody here? Is anybody here?

:bugeye:

Franzbear...we're alone. That's ok, Aunt Evo made you some special cookies. I sprinkled them with powdered sugar. Don't they look yummy? Warm out of the oven. You can have as many as you want. It's our little secret. I'll bring you some fresh every night. :smile: Hmmm? What is that bottle with the skull & crossbones? Oh, that, :redface: That was my pirate aunt's sugar bowl, she was such a kidder, that's really powdered suger. :tongue:

Remember waking up in the middle of the night and flipping on the kitchen light to hear a hundred threatening "SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS"s and the frantic scurrying. :surprised

No matter how many times I go home to Texas, I never get used to that. The cats won't even go in the laundry room at night anymore. They know it's not their domain. They are too outnumbered. It makes me think of Gulliver's Travels. I always expect to find one of the cats tethered and pinned tightly to the floor by thousands of tiny cockroach ropes and in need of my rescue.

Those roaches probably have nests near your house. I once ran into a nest while doing a little light landscaping. The grass above it looked off, and breaking the ground with a shovel it looked like there was fungus in their tunnels. They looked like roaches but these ones seemed more orange/brown in color than the ones I've seen before. Maybe you could find their nests and eliminate the problem at the source.

They live outdoors in the trees, anywhere there's some wood to hide under. They're very prevalent around here. They say usually people end up carrying them in with fire wood, but I haven't even used the fireplace this year. They probably get in the same way everything else does, crawling in under the eaves of the house and in through the attic or following me in from the garage. I had the garage door open a long time over the weekend while doing all the yard work. I'll be doing just what SOS recommended, and spray along the foundations, plus there's a tree that needs to get trimmed back from the house. The combination of those two should stop the bugs from getting inside. At least most of them. Everything I found online about them says that they don't breed indoors, they're just an occassional nuisance, and they don't nest in groups like other roaches do. Even the pest control company website says they don't recommend spraying for them, just try to locate where they come in from outside and seal it off. At least they are big and slow. This is the third one I found inside in about the same number of weeks. Their behavior is even the way the websites describe them, that they are attracted toward lights, you'll find them wandering in random rooms, not concentrated in any one place, they don't run and hide when disturbed. They seem pretty susceptible to a direct hit of ant spray. :biggrin:

Evo, I don't know where those skunks are. I'd rather have skunks than bugs. They're probably full on slugs already. I haven't seen any slugs yet, but I know they must be emerging by now too. I do have a raccoon that lives nearby. I'm working on figuring out if that's what's digging under my deck (there's a big hole under an old slab of concrete that must have been a patio before the deck was put in over it). I don't mind the raccoons, except when they decide to mate on my roof at 3 AM. What sort of establishment do these critters think I run around here? :rolleyes:

Oh, but there was a robin out in my garden eating bugs. We had a good deal on Saturday when I was planting bulbs. It hung around and I tossed it the earthworms I dug up. I've never had a wild bird hang around so close before (well, except those sparrows that hang around outdoor eateries and steal food right off your plate). I figured the first worm I threw at it would scare it away, but it clearly knew what I threw at it and ran right for it. The bird did look confused for a moment though, like it was puzzled by worms falling from the sky. :tongue2: There are plenty of birds out in the yard, though I think most are seed eaters (lots of cardinals hanging around this year; they seem to be seeking refuge in my yard since I'm the only one without dogs to chase them).

Well, that's it for the natural history of Moonbear's backyard. :rofl:

Oh, c'mon, Moonbear. You can't let some little piddly roaches scare you off! On the other hand, if you're teaching at A &M, my little brother might be in one of your classes. He's much more of a pest than any cockroach!! :rofl:

Actually, what I'm worried about is the phrase, "everything is bigger in Texas." They might not be some little piddly roaches. :surprised Don't laugh, but I don't even know what department I'm being considered for at the moment. Apparently my application and CV have been passed around to be considered for several positions and the search committee chair didn't know I didn't know this when he emailed me to make sure I was still interested since it's been so long since my application was sent in. And of course he's now out of town so I can't call and get answers. :rofl:

I can handle pesky students though. If you let me know he's your brother, I can give him an extra hard time if you want. :devil: :rofl:

Okay, those kind of roaches I don't mind. The hissing ones amuse me, even if I jump every time I make them hiss. We used to have them for the bio labs; I don't know why we needed live roaches to demonstrate what an insect was, or why we couldn't just point to one of the many wild roaches running around that old building, but when I was the head TA, the person who was supposed to transport a bunch over to another campus called in sick and I had to go pick up a bunch and put them in a new cage to drive over. :yuck: But it got me over the worry of touching them. At least I knew they were raised in captivity and disease-free.

Shoot, yeah! I will pay you to bust that boy's chops!!! :rofl:

[cronxeh]

eh.. speaking of bad mouthing and professors..

our biology department's head female prof basically got a job at a state uni in midwest, and transfered out, leaving only one bio prof who is now going to be teaching like 4-6 classes. i feel bad for the poor fella, and the old catalog still lists her as a department advisor..

and as a side perk, the school she transfered to basically isnt that good - the labs and the facilities are a joke compared to what she left. oh well. hope some young hotshot bio prof comes along by the time i retake my physiology class :tongue2:

If she's moving to worse facilities, it makes you wonder why she's moving? Must be something going on behind the scenes. Unless she's getting a fantastic start-up package to set up new facilities and build up the program there. That's something people sometimes do when they like challenges; they'll apply for a chair position at a dept that's not so great and build it up to the program they want it to be.

They don't have anyone there to help pick up some of the slack? Unless he has a full-time teaching appointment (no research), trying to teach 4 - 6 classes is absolutely insane! Unless that prof really pissed off his dept chair and this is how the chair is getting even. If I see any jobs advertised in NYC, I'll confer with you about your school before I apply; I wouldn't want to apply for something with that heavy of a teaching load -- I'd never be able to accomplish any research.

Well for the fall there are 2 bio classes - physiology and genetics - with both labs, so it kind of turns out to be '4' classes, but then again, biology isnt really the biggest undergrad area - but i know they are looking for a new associate prof. they have 3 floors dedicated to biocatalysts and other bio/chem applications, polymers, etc

That could explain why she left, if bio isn't very big there and if her research was really in a field of biology, she may have felt isolated in a dept full of biochemists.

AAAAGH! Danger, I'm sorry, but your avatar is a bit...scary. :bugeye:

MIH, your current avatar is really cute! Anna Nicole was even scarier than Danger.
This from a woman who presents a bug avatar to the world's foremost insectophobe? I'll tell you how much I can't stand bugs. I'm a Bruce (from Robert the Bruce of Scotland), and by family tradition we're not allowed to harm spiders. To me, the more legs it has, the less I like it. I was actually so scared of spiders when I was a kid that I thought one might run up the handle of the flyswatter and bite me before it died. So instead I would put a 5mm starter's blank in my Llama XV .22 with the 1.75" barrel and shoot the buggers with it. It gave about a 6" muzzle flash that would curl a spider up into a little blob and smash it into the far wall. This was, of course, in the house that was built into the church that my dad worked at. I'm sure that when we left, they couldn't figure out what the hell all of those 6"-long scorch marks all over the carpet were about.
Anyhow, having read all of that roach stuff, I'm even more glad than ever that I live someplace that's too cold for them.
And now, just to double-check reactions, I present the last installment of 'The 5th Dementia' that I did about a year ago. It, like the first, is about mid-point in the quality department.

Where were people like this when I was in high school? almost 20 pages left to go. Be back soon I hope.

johnny has a gambleing problem, and he just cant lose for some reason. Now hes only 16 and his father and teacher both see this as a problem. They want him to stop before he loses big and gets himself into trouble. He had just recently won $500.

His teacher saw this and though, maybe if he didnt have money he wont gamble anymore. So after school she takes him to her office.

"Johnny, if you give me your 500 dollars ill make sure your school record is clean and you can never get into trouble in this school district again...what do you think of that?"

*johhny thought for a minute and smiled* NO deal, but i bet you my $500 that your pubes arent the same color as the hair on your head

*she smiled knowing she dyes her hair and nodded* its a bet

she takes off her skirt then her panties showing him that her pubic hair is black and points to her hair on her head which is blond, johnny admits defeat and gives her the $500 and walks home in shame. Later that day she calls his father

"i think i rid him of his problem, he wont be gambleing anymore"

His father responds

"No you stupid %@#$, i bet him $1000 that he could never get you to take your panties off for him"

As I said when I found out that I could use a signature, this is just a phrase that popped into my head a couple of weeks ago. I have no idea where it came from, unless possibly a flash-back of sorts to the time I parked a 152 in some guy's back yard. :biggrin:

Does anyone like anchovies on their pizza, or was that made just as a joke?
I think it maybe happened once to some poor Greek fisherman who had nothing else to put on his pizza. And when his family saw what he did to their pizza they left and never returned. So the bitter man opened a pizza shop and sold pizza with only anchovies. To this day we still suffer his foul tasting curse. :bugeye:
There is also the little known rumor of the Italian pizza maker, baker. He made a sign saying 'FRESH PIZZA' and hung it out the window to attract hungry customers. Turns out he never learned how to read or write and the sign actually said 'FISH PIZZA'. The rest, as they say, is history. :yuck:

Ok, that was lame. goodnight y'all... :zzz:

LOL! One of my friends has a cat that hunts rubber bands. He's an outdoor cat and runs around collecting rubber bands and leaves them all on the doorstep. At her house, you never have to look very hard if you need a rubber band, just open the front door! :rofl: If someone could guarantee that's all it would hunt, I'd get a cat, but I don't want baby birds and half-eaten mice instead. :yuck:

For various reasons, primarily their own safety, I've never let my cats outside, or the dog without being tied to the house. They're not street smart, and a lot of the neighbours have large dogs. The mice in the house disappear when there's a cat in residence. Lucy caught one the second day she lived here, and there's never been another one seen since. (I had to take it away from her and drown it, though; she had no idea what she was supposed to do with it. :rolleyes:)

I'm not too fond of the idea of "outside" cats anyway. For their own safety and for the happiness of neighbors. I live in suburbs, not country, so it would be rude to send a cat out to take a dump in the neighbor's flower bed. I don't know why dogs have to be leashed but cats don't.

[Danger]

I don't know why dogs have to be leashed but cats don't.
There's talk here in town of licensing cats, which would include a leash law. I have a little harness/leash rig that I bought for Dingbat, but I haven't introduced Lucy to it yet. I wouldn't want to take her for a walk anyway, until the cops return my .45; there's no way I could fight off a pit bull barehanded, and some of the owners thereof aren't terribly responsible. :frown:

Great, just got back from being evacuated into the basement parking garage because of a tornado. (I'm still at work) It's one downside to living in Kansas. :surprised

Hope I can make it home without getting hit by one. :cry: I swear I spend more time in my basement in the spring and summer than any other part of my house. There is rarely a storm that doesn't have a tornado warning with it.

I grew up in Houston, TX and lived through a couple of bad hurricanes, they were ok because you knew they were coming. Tornadoes are so much scarier, you can't prepare for them. :frown:

The Evo child and I were caught driving in a hail storm a few years ago with BASEBALL SIZE HAIL. Seriously. My three cars at home were smashed up
and $25,000 worth of damage to my house. The car we were driving in amazingly had no glass broken, we were able to get under an overpass for the worst of it, the body looked like a large hammer had been taken to it. We both had the **** scared out of us. The large balls of hail appeared to be composed of dozens of dime to nickel sized hail.

Other than the frequent scary storms, it's great here. :rolleyes:

Hey Evo, Have you ever seen Harvey Birdman?No. Who is he?

[Huckleberry]

No. Who is he?

It is based on a cartoon that aired about the same time as Space Ghost. I seem to remember watching both of them as a child. Space Ghost has a talk show 'Space Ghost Coast to Coast' where he interviews people. Harvey Birdman has 'Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law'. He argues cases for cartoon characters such as the Flintstone mafia and the Dr. Quest (Jonny Quest) custody battle.

If you like Space Ghost then this might be worth checking out. It's absurd, but I like it. kinda like Danger

They seem to get really over-excited about storms here. As soon as a thunderstorm hits Indiana, they start warning us over here in OH. They act like every thunderstorm is going to be the end of the world. I guess when it's usually very boring, a little thunder is scary. :rolleyes: I've never been very impressed by the storms they think to warn us about. After a few nor'easters and hurricanes, the storms out here are nothing; they're only bad if you get caught on the road because they seem to come with an awful lot of rain.

Tornado sirens...LOL! I never heard of such a thing until I moved to MI. The first spring I was there, we had a bad thunderstorm and I heard lots of sirens. I just figured lightning struck something, or there was a car crash or something like that to need to get fire trucks and ambulances out. It never occurred to me it might mean a tornado until the next day when another post-doc commented about being out walking to his car when they went off. Well, when I lived in NJ, sirens meant emergency vehicles were responding to the car crashes. Nobody warned us about tornadoes. Of course they were just tiny things there and so rare that it just wasn't worth worrying about. One hit the campus when I was in college, and the only warning was our custodian who grew up in Kansas. She was looking outside and spotted the funnel cloud forming and told us to get away from the windows (at which time we all gathered by the window to look because we'd never seen such thing before :rolleyes:). It didn't strike anywhere near the dorms, just touched down for a few hundred feet in a grassy area where nobody was because it was pouring rain. Knocked a tree over, that's all.

Fuzzy navel? Does that mean you're picking lint from your belly button or drinking foo foo girly drinks in the Tiki Bar? I just finished a martini I made when I got home from work (about an hour ago...long long day).

I have many unusual talents. One is self-grooming and drinking foo foo drinks simultaneously. I'm trying to perfect the fuzzy navel. I find that with just the right amount of schnapps you don't even need the orange juice and it still slides down pretty smooth.

I have many unusual talents. One is self-grooming and drinking foo foo drinks simultaneously. I'm trying to perfect the fuzzy navel. I find that with just the right amount of schnapps you don't even need the orange juice and it still slides down pretty smooth.

You should see me cut my toenails and brush my teeth at the same time. Now that's a trick.

So you're plucking belly button lint while drinking peach schnapps. :biggrin: I actually like fuzzy navels (the drink), but haven't had them in ages. Hmm...maybe I'll order one tomorrow if we go out for Friday happy hour (the folks in the lab usually head out to the bar next door for happy hour on Fridays; sadly, I'm usually the only one who returns to work afterward).

Hmm...something just occurred to me...do we yet know anything about your marital status or age? Has a photo been posted in the member photo thread? Did I miss something or forget something, or have you been withholding information? (It's the alcohol talking, really). :tongue2:

I was wondering when this question was coming. I'm single and 30 and 3/4 years old. I have not posted a photo in the members thread. Who would want to see my ugly mug anyway? Actually, I don't have a scanner or a digital camera. If I did then I would have to figure out how to use them and that's a whole other problem. Electronics don't like me much. I've spent countless hours arguing with the VCR and it always wins. :frown:

oh, another page. Someone needs a nice quip for Danger again.

[Danger]

Privilege of being a member of the Commonwealth, m'deah. :approve:

I thought you'd already have something on hand. You don't need to create a new one ...unless I'm assured I won't be billed.
I don't think there's anything appropriate, but I'll check the catalogue. And you most assuredly will be billed (as co-conspirator).


Oh, you're referring to when I'm in a dream state--
No. You might have been; I wasn't. :devil:

Digital cameras are easy to use. Point and click, just like a regular camera. We can talk you through the rest if you get your hands on one! Afterall, you're in the right age range. :biggrin: Well, I suspected so already based on the date range of the Navy stories, but good to confirm that. :wink:

Wow, somebody actually read my navy stories? I thought I wrote those when nobody was looking. I'll be more careful next time.

Hmm, how expensive are digital cameras? I've been wanting one for a long time. They are so useful. I can take as many pictures as I want and not have to be embarrassed by going to the photo shop to develop them.

Digital cameras did to photo shops what the internet did to libraries?

LOL! Yep. See, had you read the entire thread, you'd realize I was paying attention because I had spent several pages hanging out on the docks in a short skirt while flirting with sailors to get their protection while I kidnapped the thread (yeah, that was the only reason). :biggrin:

Hmm, how expensive are digital cameras? I've been wanting one for a long time. They are so useful. I can take as many pictures as I want and not have to be embarrassed by going to the photo shop to develop them.

There is that big reason. And you can just delete the ones you don't like, so you can go crazy taking pictures without having to worry about wasting film. There's a whole range of cameras of different qualities and price ranges. I'm not an expert on picking them, but there are plenty of geeks around here who will be happy to tell you everything they know about digital cameras to find one you'll like in the price range you're willing to pay.

[Danger]

Mine came with a Lexmark printer for $150CDN. It's pretty decent, really. Takes short movies, has a timer and zoom, and can be used as a web-cam. There's a slot for some kind of memory card, but I don't have one.

[Huckleberry]

How would I go about doing that? Should I start a general thread about selecting a digital camera for purchase?

$150 I can afford that. Are the pictures decent quality? Your avatar isn't much of an indicator.

[Moonbear]

Yep. You could post it here in GD or over in the technology subforum. Probably more suited for GD though.

I'm not at all sure about this, but I think I saw one either here or in GP when I first started hanging around here. Maybe the search feature can find it?

$150 I can afford that. Are the pictures decent quality? Your avatar isn't much of an indicator.
That was in our money, so probably about $120 or so in yours. You can even get little keychain dudes, but they don't have an LCD display or any other features. I don't know what it would be for mine without the printer; they were a bundled deal at Canadian Tire. It's a Vivitar (appropriate for making avatars).
For a better indication, the real picture in the Members Photos thread (yeah, I finally posted one) was taken with it. I tweaked the brightness and contrast in Photoshop, though, because it was taken without a flash in a half-shaded area. (And no laughing at the picture, dammit.)

[Huckleberry]

(And no laughing at the picture, dammit.)Would I do something like that? :devil:
Well, yes I would, but not without giving you something to laugh at.

I'm not going to make a thread. I'll just ask some people and maybe do a little web surfing. I was down at the shopping areas today too buying some books. (I miss those good independant book stores) I wish I had thought about it then. I might go back this weekend sometime. We'll see.

[Danger]

Would I do something like that? :devil:
Well, yes I would, but not without giving you something to laugh at.

Don't go out of your way; I'll find something.
Keep in mind the option of getting a camera phone, as well. Quality-wise, they seem to be as good as a low-mid range standard camera. (ie: better than mine, which is only 2.0 megapixels; I think that 3 or 4 is standard now)

A nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat, eh squire?

[Moonbear]

I'm starting to look into digital cameras myself. I already have one, so it's not a priority. The one I have was bought for me as a gift, and was good at the time it was bought, but now I want to upgrade to one that's smaller and lighter and better quality and hopefully that doesn't eat batteries the way the one I have does (actually, that's the big thing I'm looking for, something that I can travel with without needing to lug around a pack of batteries too; yeah, it just uses regular batteries, and sucks the life out of them like nothing).

Anyway, good afternoon little franzbear. Mommy has to go play in the lab with sharp knives today. Wanna come along? I'll let you play with the knives too if you'd like. Wait, I'll even get my camera. Wouldn't it be fun to take a few pictures of you posed with the blade to your throat? Here, stand up on this wobbly chair with wheels while you pose for the camera so I can get a good shot under the lights.

[mattmns]

Hmm, anyone know of a good how to for snapping fingers? I am trying to learn how to snap my fingers.

[BicycleTree]

Bring your thumb against your ring finger so that it is pressing at the middle of the tip of the ring finger, just before the fat on the very tip, at an angle of around 45 degrees. Increase the pressure between the thumb and the ring finger, then let the thumb suddenly slip to the right and slap against the middle finger. Repeat the process on the middle finger, so you get two snaps per pass of the thumb. You can also try it on the little finger but that is very quiet, at least on my hands.

[mattmns]

Well that did not immediately work, but it may with some practice.

[Evo]

Hmmm, I do it differently. I hold the tops of my thumb and middle finger together tightly, holding both rigid, with my index finger pointing up and my ring finger & little fingers bent so that they touch the palm of my hand. Then I snap my middle finger down quickly so that it hits the "mound" on the palm where the thumb base is.

Sounds more complicated than it is. Matt, probably easier to have someone show you.

Sounds more complicated than it is. Matt, probably easier to have someone show you.

I think I do it in a way that combines both Evo's and BicycleTree's method :biggrin:. Mostly it just requires lots of practice until it just happens. The pad of your thumb and middle finger (tip of the thumb meeting with the middle finger about halfway between the tip and first joint). Squeeze them together really hard, then quickly slip the middle finger toward your palm, bending it only at the middle joint (keep the finger somewhat at a right angle to your palm and don't change the angle of your knuckle while you snap). As you snap your middle finger straight downward toward your palm, divert your thumb slightly to the side toward your index finger and snap it up toward your index finger, which should be bent at the knuckle but held just a bit higher up than the starting point of your middle finger. Wash your hands to get some of the oils off your fingers first for best results (it's almost impossible to snap well if you just moisturized your hands or got oil on them or something like that).

[BicycleTree]

You're right, most of the noise does actually come from the ring or middle finger. If you press the thumb and finger together tightly enough then that will happen automatically; when the thumb slips one way the finger can't help but slip the other.

[BicycleTree]

I just put some peanut butter on my thumb and fingers to test that but I could still snap almost normally, only a little less loud. I think it's a matter of how hard you press the fingers together. The key, I think, is in pressing hard enough so that the thumb indents the finger enough for the fat to form a wall in front of the thumb, that the thumb can then suddenly jump over for maximum acceleration.

[cronxeh]

im trying to learn pen spinning.. but my fingers just dont bend the right way.. or maybe its the technique?

I'm not even going to ask why you decided to try the peanut butter thing. But, I think you're right about the key being the pressure between the thumb and finger. After sitting here snapping quite a few times to figure out exactly how to I do it to type out the instructions, my finger is a bit sore from pressing it so hard into my thumb (or from resisting the pressure of my thumb against it).

[BicycleTree]

I have never learned pen spinning.

[Moonbear]

I never learned to do that. One of my friends in 8th grade was really good at it, and I tried and tried and tried, but could never do it. I just managed to get stares from the teacher from dropping my pen so much. :tongue2:

Peanut butter for oil, of course.

My fingers do not hurt no matter how long I snap because they have protective and strengthening webbing between them. Seriously. It makes my fingers appear disproportionately short, although they are normal length measured from the knuckles.

[cronxeh]

I think I know why i suck at it. every person who does this has skinny long fingers..

mine are short and plump towards base and can never make a full 90 degree between index and middle finger :frown:

[BicycleTree]

Cronxeh, which way do you mean? I can make almost a 90 degree angle if the index finger points straight ahead and the middle finger folds at the knuckle towards the palm, but if I try to do it reverse (middle straight, index bends at knuckle) the most I can make is about 45 degrees.

[cronxeh]

well 'almost' in your case is roughly 65-70 degrees in mine, when index points straight parallel to your arm and middle pointing downward

[Moonbear]

Peanut butter for oil, of course.
:rofl: Um, okay, that wouldn't have been my first choice. Did you just dab your finger in some oil that separated out? Otherwise the peanut butter itself it sticky; it might even help with snapping.

Oh, do you know how hard it is to not take this bait? :tongue:

Hmm...I can do a 90 degree angle both ways. Though it's easier the first way. But, yes, I do have long, skinny fingers. I don't know if that matters though. I know people with little stubby fingers who can still snap.

[cronxeh]

i can make a cracking sound when i make a fist though :biggrin:

also my toes crack.. my fingers crack (sideways too), knee caps

[BicycleTree]

Cronxeh, about 70 degrees is what i meant by "almost." My middle finger is only about 3/4 as long as my palm because of the webbing. I credit the webbing with my fast typing speed.

Moonbear, I stockpile empty jars of peanut butter for no reason--the natural kind, too, where the oil separates on its own and when you first open it there's about a half centimeter layer of oil. It was really the closest thing at hand.

[BicycleTree]

I think that shorter fingers and more webbing probably is an advantage, not a disadvantage, at snapping. When you want to produce the maximum finger tension I think it's helpful to have tissue closer to the fingertip for better leverage. It would be a disadvantage at pen spinning only.

You know what's weird, is that my toes have cracked from time to time, and frequently my spine pops and snaps, but never, ever have I cracked my fingers, intentionally or unintentionally. They are almost noiseless except for snapping.

[BicycleTree]

Have I scared everyone off?

[Moonbear]

Have I scared everyone off?

Nope, I just got distracted by a homeschooler posting on another site. She's one of those annoying people who can't stop bragging about her children, but she "forgives" the youngest for not being as smart as his siblings. Yes, she uses the word "forgives." :bugeye: She's also convinced that the cure for math phobia is to make a kid just keep doing a problem over and over and over again and not move ahead until they can get all their assigned problems 100% correct, because the only cause of the anxiety is the frustration of getting the problem wrong. :confused: And franz thinks the politics forum here gets his blood pressure up. :rolleyes: But she provides endless fodder for jokes at her expense among the people I email from that site.

[BicycleTree]

Well, you know, personally I think that the basics of math are important to get down 100%. I think a big problem with some students is that they "decide" they can't do math, which means they won't try. My sister was like that, she'd quit before even making a good attempt at a problem. If you stick with it until you master the material it's good.

On the other hand, sometimes you don't learn something fully until you use it in other ways. So there is an argument for moving on, with the new material as motivation for mastering the old material. But if there is actual frustration and anxiety on the current material then that's not likely to happen; the student should stick with it until the anxiety goes away. If the student is capable of learning the material, that will happen eventually.

[Moonbear]

You know what's weird, is that my toes have cracked from time to time, and frequently my spine pops and snaps, but never, ever have I cracked my fingers, intentionally or unintentionally. They are almost noiseless except for snapping.

I'm thinking you and Cronxeh are too young to be popping and cracking when you walk! I used to be such a horribly chronic knuckle cracker. My grandmother insisted it would give me arthritis. :rofl: Sometimes my right wrist pops...I think that's because of an old injury, because it was really bad nearer to when I injured it, and has been steadily improving. Nevermind that it's been over 10 years since I injured it! In retrospect, I might have wanted to see a doctor about it at the time, but I thought it was just a mild sprain. I think it was actually slightly dislocated and it suddenly felt amazingly better one day when I had no choice other than to use it for lifting something really heavy, and suddenly it just popped and immediately felt better. Only I could get better by overusing an injured limb. Other than that, just my neck cracks. Some people find that a bit disturbing.

Though I pulled something in my shoulder last night trying to move a microtome in the lab. It's a really old one, and I swear it must be made of solid lead. It's not very big, but it's heavy. I'm not even sure how heavy it is. Must be 80 or 100 lbs. After I moved one, I barely had the strength to tip the other up on just one end (I needed a clean work area, and the absorbent padding under them hadn't been changed in so long it had turned from white to dark yellow :yuck:). I always forget how heavy those things are because I don't move them often. I have to remember to do these things when someone else is around to help lift. Oh well, it's going to be a cold, rainy weekend anyway, so can't do any yard work even if I didn't have an injured wing.

[BicycleTree]

Yeah, my spine crackles frequently. Not when I walk, but if I flex my back muscles or stretch I can feel and hear the vertebra snapping around. Also, my shoulders tend to dislocate easily when I throw things, but they always chunk right back into place immediately (not that it doesn't hurt for a week or two afterwards...).

[Moonbear]

Well, you know, personally I think that the basics of math are important to get down 100%. I think a big problem with some students is that they "decide" they can't do math, which means they won't try. My sister was like that, she'd quit before even making a good attempt at a problem. If you stick with it until you master the material it's good.

Oh, I don't think we disagree there. Concept-wise, yes, you really need to master the basics to move on, but she's talking about redoing a homework assignment until all the answers are perfect. You know, like when you make a dumb mistake and multiply 3X3 and get 6 :rolleyes:, well, she would make the kid do the whole assignment again if they did that.

But that's what I really think most of math phobia is, that the kids have decided they can't do it before they ever get into the classroom. I can see being persistent and not letting them get away with just not doing it, because of course that's what a lot of kids with math anxiety do, they just don't do the assignments. But I don't think sitting them down with a sheet of problems that makes their mind go blank and gets them sweating and making them sit there until it's done is going to help; I think it would just make them get more anxious. Anyway, she's not a rational person anyway. She usually presents an argument that is internally inconsistent (she almost always makes at least two points in her arguments that are necessarily mutually exclusive; like we should have the government give all kids school vouchers and privatize all schools to get the government out of the education business). Meh, I don't really want to discuss her here, it was just where I went for a while and got distracted too long by her lack of logic.

On the other hand, sometimes you don't learn something fully until you use it in other ways. So there is an argument for moving on, with the new material as motivation for mastering the old material. But if there is actual frustration and anxiety on the current material then that's not likely to happen; the student should stick with it until the anxiety goes away. If the student is capable of learning the material, that will happen eventually.

I tend to think most math anxiety is just a learned behavior from parents or other students or teachers even. But, as I did some googling on it, it sounds like math teachers are finally catching on that they need to do something different in the classroom to address this problem, something that will give these kids some confidence. And, imagine this, they're suggesting they stop teaching kids by rote memorization and start explaining the concepts! I can't believe that's a novel idea!

[BicycleTree]

Well, careless errors do not warrant revisiting the material. One thing the student could do is check his/her work. I never used to like doing that and I would lose about 10% credit on careless errors despite fully understanding everything, but now I always do it, and I make very few careless errors. Also it has to do with age; I think that up to a point, the older you get, the fewer random mistakes you make, a function of practice and normal brain aging.

If the student only makes careless mistakes yet has a math phobia anyway, I think the student should start learning more advanced material.

[Moonbear]

Also it has to do with age; I think that up to a point, the older you get, the fewer random mistakes you make, a function of practice and normal brain aging.

More like an inverted Gaussian distribution I suspect. After a certain age, you hit your peak and it's all downhill from there. Though, I'm not quite yet convinced there isn't an absent-minded professor gene that is conditionally turned on by something added to the food at the faculty cafeteria. :tongue2:

[BicycleTree]

No, I don't mean just general mental ability, I mean not making random mistakes. I would guess that random mistakes are caused by the same rushing signals that cause the creativity and fast learning of youth; when these signals begin to decrease, there is less interference and processes are less prone to error, although general mental ability would play a role.

While a few people have tried to play nice and seek some agreement with her, most of that entire board is letting her have it. But at least since she homeschooled her kids, she wasn't showing up for any PTA meetings, so she's only screwed up her own children (I'm sure they are screwed up, just based on the sum total of her views). I mean, how can that youngest one be normal if he's only being "forgiven" for not doing as well as his siblings? Then again, maybe he's the sane one who rebelled against mom, and that's why she thinks he hasn't done as well, because he didn't follow her plan. :rofl:

Well, Mathworld told me that the Gaussian was the normal distribution, but what is an inverted Gaussian??
It's like pineapple upside-down cake, but different.

[Moonbear]

Well, Mathworld told me that the Gaussian was the normal distribution, but what is an inverted Gaussian??

Turn it upside down! You were talking about rate of mistakes with age...at peak performance, you reach a nadir in number of mistakes, not a peak. I don't know, it's closer to dawn now than dusk, so I'm too tired to find out if I can legitimately call it inverted...I doubt it's even Gaussian. It just sounded good dammit! :grumpy:

[Huckleberry]

Fingers and toes, one of my favorite topics. My middle finger is about half an inch longer than my index. My ring finger is almost as long as my middle finger. My thumb can touch my wrist. My feet are more like flippers, over 4" wide. My second toe is as long as my big toe, which is big and fat. (I don't like wearing shoes.) I can support my body weight on just my big toes fairly easily, and can turn my feet so they are almost parallel facing backwards. This puts some strain on my knees and hips and feels a bit uncomfortable. Ever have a hip pop? That is a loud snap.

Hope your wing gets better soon Moonbear.

[BicycleTree]

Your thumb can touch your wrist? You mean the wrist on the _same arm as the thumb is on_?? You are making it up.

I don't suggest you share all that information on a first date. :bugeye: BicycleTree has webbed fingers, and you've got flippers for feet. And those creationists all are arguing there are no transitional species around. :tongue2: :rofl:

Hope your wing gets better soon Moonbear.

Already feeling better today. Thanks. :smile:

[Huckleberry]

Your thumb can touch your wrist? You mean the wrist on the _same arm as the thumb is on_?? You are making it up.No, my thumb can touch my wrist on the same arm. I'm double-jointed. I don't know exactly what that means, but I think it means I have longer ligaments, or more stretchable ligaments. I'm not as flexible as I used to be 10 years ago, but my legs and arms are still very flexible. I can still touch any point on my back with one arm and put my feet behind my head. I used to be able to do a split (front to back) but I can't do that anymore.

[hypatia]

I also can touch my thumb and wrist, which comes in handy playing odd guitar chords.


and can turn my feet so they are almost parallel facing backwards :surprised:

How does one discover these things about themselfs? Did you just one day say, I'm gonna try all kinds of odd stuff with my body?

[Moonbear]

How does it help with guitar chords? I can't think of anything you'd do with a guitar that would require touching your thumb to your wrist. :confused:

Yeah, something like that. Who hasn't at least tried to do a split? What guy hasn't played 'mercy' in grade school? Who hasn't twisted an ankle while walking or running? My ankles twist, but don't sprain. (well, once I sprained an ankle) I rarely won at mercy, but I couldn't be beaten. It seemed natural to test the limits.

What I want to know is how people learn things like eating glass without dying, or breaking boards with their heads, or piercing their body with needles. How many people try these things? Can anyone do it?

[Moonbear]

You mean you never did that as a kid?

Must have been a deprived childhood she had. :biggrin:

[brewnog]

Moonbear, bet you 20p that you can't lick your elbow...

[Evo]

I've noticed that the majority of people have a second toe (the toe next to their big toe) that is as long or longer than their big toe. Mine is shorter. My toes all progressively go down in length with the big toe the longest.

Anyone else with toes like this?

[Huckleberry]

You could start a thread called "Comparison of TOEs"

[hypatia]

Playing a F chord and reach your thumb up to hit a A note on the E string, most people can't do it.

And no I don't recall trying to twist my feet backwards. Tho I did shove a bean up my nose once. :blushing:

[Evo]

You could start a thread called "Comparison of TOEs" :rofl: That's cute!

[brewnog]

Evo, my big toe is my longest.

[Evo]

Evo, my big toe is my longest.Really? Then we're the two normal ones? :tongue:

[brewnog]

Really? Then we're the two normal ones? :tongue:

Speak for yourself...

[Moonbear]

Moonbear, bet you 20p that you can't lick your elbow...

No way! My arm was sore for three days the last time someone posted that you can't lick your elbow and I was determined to find out if I could. :tongue2:

[BicycleTree]

My big toe is also longer than the other toes. I read somewhere a long time ago that a "big" big toe helps you to sprint.

I can lick the inside of my elbow. That counts.

[Huckleberry]

If you'd cover them up at night, they wouldn't be malformed. It's probably frostbite.:tongue:

I'm gonna try all kinds of odd stuff with my body?
I would like to try a couple of odd things with your body... :wink:

I could lick your elbow :tongue2:
If you're getting that close anyhow, might I suggest an alternate target?:tongue2:

[Danger]

Yes! Mine too. :smile:
You keep 'em stuck out of the covers too?

Well, I might have suggested the same until you told me about the flippers. I'm a bit of a bigot when it comes to dating within my own species. :tongue2:

[Danger]

There you go again with that. Sheesh, what a prude!

[Moonbear]

Well, I tried that ursine canine thing, and that just didn't work out well, so I'm going to just stick with other bears for now. Besides, I need warm and fuzzy, not cold and wet mammals in bed with me.

It's not that easy being green
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
When I think it could be nicer being red, or yellow or gold
Or something much more colorful like that

It's not easy being green
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're
Not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water
Or stars in the sky

But green's the color of Spring
And green can be cool and friendly-like
And green can be big like an ocean, or important
Like a mountain, or tall like a tree

When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why
Wonder, I am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful
And I think it's what I want to be


I wonder if Kermit got any lovin', besides the extensive physicals by Jim Henson. I'd have to agree with him, It's not easy being green.

We'll explain it to you when you're older.

Oh, I know the general gist of what those questions were, just was musing that it would be fun to have saved up the list since she said she'd tell me when I was older. :biggrin: Actually, most of the time, I think it wasn't that embarrassing, just jokes that were said in my presence that I didn't understand and wanted to know what everyone was laughing about.

I was a bit younger than that when I wasn't getting those jokes, and nobody noticed if I wore a dress. :rofl:

Her long, blond hair is wild and windblown as she treads recklessly on autopilot, crashing one party after another attempting to refuel her supply of green apple martinis. The sound of "Hells Bells" blaring from her massive soundsystem shakes the neighborhood in prelude to her arrival. Peaceloving partigoers look up in wonderment, just in time to see SOS screaming like an amazon warrior woman, wearing her military issue nightvision goggles and a camoflauge tank top. As she steamrolls their humvees she flails her arms in triumph and manages to never spill a drop from her glass. In moments she is gone, leaving ruin and devastation and piles of olive pits in her wake.

OK, I get it now. I thought franzbear had something to do with Moonbear and franzneitzsche. I had no idea that it was your love child. Artman named it, and Integral is the shadow of death looming above it with scythe in hand, waiting for the word from Mother Evo.

It might actually be worth reading this thread. Maybe one week when I have nothing to do I'll get that done.

Truly fantastic work with those little buggers. Wish I knew how to do that. Unfortunately, although I often feel like doing what you show, I can't. No desk.

That question does bring up a painful memory, though. I make all of my own appliances for Hallowe'en or costume parties. Everything is usually made of and attached with liquid latex. One year I didn't have any and there was no time to get any, so I attached the main facial piece with silicone sealant. It was all fine until this one girl in the bar decided that she was going to find out once and for all who was under the mask. She grabbed the rather prominent nose thereof and ripped it off.

Well, some guys have been known to repeatedly attempt to suffocate their turtles.

[cronxeh]

wow.. such cruelty :mad:

[Danger]

Yeah, I'm a softy when it comes to turtles. If I see one out on the street, I always stop to pick it up and move it into the bushes.
Real bushes, or merkins?

You can use a silencer..
This is a bit off-topic, and not something that you run across every day... but in an emergency, a real turtle can be used as a silencer. And if you don't mind a little GSR in your soup, there can be side benefits. (Sorry, Evo. Really, honey... this has nothing to do with Roger...)

Ahh, what a wonderous and varied species the turtle is...there's one out there for everyone.

Wood turtle - a "solid" choice
Sliders - no wax required
Snappers - only for the experienced handler
Map turtle - knows their way around the bush
Side-necked - useful in tight quarters
Leatherback - for the kinky turtle owner
Softshells - requires pharmacological intervention
Diamondback - for the girl who has everything
and the most sought after variety........The Big-Headed turtle :bugeye: .

Of course, the longevity is far more important than size.

I try to avoid the snappers...don't want a turtle that will bite you when you try to kiss it. Kissing turtles is a much better way of finding a prince than kissing frogs, that's for sure!

[cronxeh]

Oh I dont know. Research shows a lot of turtles carry various diseases. I wont want an experienced turtle muncher to be around my turtle. Once a turtle gets sick you gotta take it to the hospital, and the doctors give it all kinds of shots, its just not worth it!

[Moonbear]

Not if you only kiss your own pet turtle. You don't want to just kiss any turtle you find out in the wild; you're right, who knows what sort of diseases they might carry, but if you keep a domesticated one around, nothing wrong with kissing it.

[Evo]

As long as you don't insist upon it having red ears, I understand that there's a quality line of robot turtles available to one in your situation... :tongue:Robot turtles will never replace the real thing.

Whats 'too young' for a turtle anyway?It all depends. I prefer younger turtles, but I guess that's mostly because I haven't met many older turtles that weren't emotionally scarred by mistreatment by previous owners.

[Danger]

Robot turtles will never replace the real thing.
Only as a stop-gap (pardon the expression) solution, I assure you; that is one
instance where I certainly don't care to be replaced by a machine.:tongue2:

Damn! :grumpy:

And :tongue: right back at you!!! :biggrin: How do you make the bars?

[BicycleTree]

In Windows: Start --> All Programs --> Accessories --> System Tools --> Character Map and then select the bar and do copy

One thing that's annoying on my computer is that often I want to "select all text until the end of the document." Especially with the blocks, because for some reason my computer gets really slow when I'm scrolling past them so I don't want to mouse-select and wait for the scroll bar to go all the way to the bottom. Now, "go to end of document" is cntrl-end. "select" is shift. My computer is a laptop. Cntrl-end-shift is SYSTEM STANDBY. :grumpy:

[Evo]

The free beer ad brought in undesirables. I have another idea. Why not offer to sponsor men from overseas? If "mail-order brides" can work for guys, why not for us? The interviewing, maybe even testing could be worthwhile in itself? :tongue2:Actually I do have a "best friend in Italy". :tongue2: Of course he's absolutely brilliant to the point of being borderline insane, (concert pianist/composer turned architect, turned media mogul and he just turned 32) but that's probably why he's still able to tolerate me after 7 years. But being an Italian, he still lives at home with his mother since he's single. :grumpy:

This is him. He recently escaped being held hostage on a remote island by Romanian bikini models. :devil:

[Moonbear]

Heh heh, I can gloat on that one! Cmd-A is "select all" on my Mac. :biggrin:
I second those, but I usually use 'EDIT' 'SELECT ALL' because my memory doesn't work so well on keyboard shortcuts. What's this about bars, though? Does your display show something other than a bunch of coloured ????'s?

I'm going to ignore them other silly womens, them talkin' 'bout importing dudes from way somewheres else. Too many dudes here already for to give decent market shares. :grumpy:

[BicycleTree]

"Select all" is cntrl-A in Windows. But I mean selecting until the end, and excluding the stuff above. Say I have made a text picture in wordpad, and copy-pasted it into my message, and then posted the message. Now I discover there's a problem with the picture, so I fix it in wordpad.

Now I copy the new picture and edit my post. But what now? Somehow I have to select the part of my post that has the flawed picture, and _not_ select the part of my post that has anything else I've typed, in order to paste the new picture over the old. Selecting everything would erase what I've already typed. Hence the horrible mistake, shift-cntrl-end, sending my computer into standby (preserving programs but mostly turning the computer off) and breaking my internet connection.

I think you can still work with the bars by selecting a bar in one of my pictures and clicking copy. Probably there's a built-in way to make bars on a mac too but I don't use macs much.

Nope...see how it all changed to question marks when I quoted you? It looks right in my reply window, but the codes are somehow different when I reply with a Mac. Oh well, not like I have the hours you seem to have to create forum art. :tongue2:

[Moonbear]

What's this about bars, though? Does your display show something other than a bunch of coloured ????'s?

In post 5023, BT's smiley face is made with colored bars, not question marks, but it converts to question marks when I quoted it.

[BicycleTree]

Well, question marks are fine also, just not as dark. Or W's. It doesn't take a really long time unless it's difficult, like the eye. I whipped up the tongue smiley in about 15 minutes because I had a template (the tongue smiley here, blown up in Paint), and it would have been shorter except I had to fine-tune some things.

Of course, there are techniques to use to speed the process up. :wink:

Ah, books! I have a Calvin and Hobbes book around somewhere! "Scientific Progress Goes Boink!" :biggrin: Have to find it.Funny, I was just re-reading The Essential Calvin and Hobbes (in the bathroom library) and there are a couple of versions - THBPPBPTH! is one.

[cronxeh]

bums.. bums all of you!

[Moonbear]

Funny, I was just re-reading The Essential Calvin and Hobbes (in the bathroom library) and there are a couple of versions - THBPPBPTH! is one.

Ah, so there's more than one spelling! Good to know. Must vary depending on the wetness of the Thbppbpth! :rofl: (No comment about where you do your reading.)

[BicycleTree]

No, no, the thbppbpth is a highly technical name with a fixed degree of wetness. It's fairly dry, actually, hence the opening and closing th's (a very dry sound). The wetter sounds have more b's and p's and more alternation between them--thpbpbppbbppbp! would be a fairly messy "raspberry," the general name.

[Evo]

I want a singing turtle gram. :cry:

I don't feel well today and I'm at work and nothing is going right. :frown:

[Danger]

I want a singing turtle gram. :cry:
I'd be more than happy to provide turtle (just don't try to name it 'Roger'), but I don't think that I can teach it to sing. (It likes humming, though.)

[Evo]

I'd be more than happy to provide turtle (just don't try to name it 'Roger'), but I don't think that I can teach it to sing. (It likes humming, though.)If you can get at least three turtles to hum in harmony, that will work.

I just got really bad news for a customer of mine. I have to call him and tell him that he won't have any internet connectivity tomorrow at his new location. He's a web hosting company. This will kill his business. I feel like absolute crap, even though I've done all I can do to push this through on an expedite basis. He is so nice. My head is about to blow up. I don't want to tell him. :cry:

On second thought, three turtles aren't enough, I need an entire turtle choir.

[Artman]

Hmm...that does work better than trying to figure out how to spell pppppbbbbtt!!! :rofl:I had the darnedest time trying to figure out how to properly spell the sound made by a boob smothering. Would it be Ahbulbububu, or Bpllllllbbbbububu, or more like Ahhhhhbuuuuuu? :tongue:

On second thought, three turtles aren't enough, I need an entire turtle choir.My turtle enjoys a good humming session as well, he just pokes his head up and smiles when the humming begins. :tongue2:

Those raspberries must have been very important to him... after all, when grit came to gristle, he preserved his tongue over his own life.

Where are my singing, humming, chanting turtles?

That is a good combination of bill the cat and the Yuck smiley.

[BicycleTree]

No, it's just the Yuck smiley... I didn't change it. I just added the quote afterwards.

[mattmns]

WTF is bush talking for? They better air all of jeopardy or I will not be a happy camper. :mad:

[BicycleTree]

Artman, I can say with confidence that you are not using a mac.

[Artman]

Most men would have the sense to just shut up and enjoy. :tongue:First of all, do I seem anything like most men? Secondly, I felt I owed it to my fellow men to provide some color commentary of that historical event. :biggrin: I mean, I couldn't just sit idly by buffing the wax on my turtle, right? :uhh: :tongue2:

[Artman]

Artman, I can say with confidence that you are not using a mac.Why do you say? By the way, I didn't mean that you literally combined them, it just looks like both.

[BicycleTree]

Because you quoted my giant smiley and it didn't come out all question marks.

[BicycleTree]

lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Also for those who are using Macs, you can use lowercase l's to achieve signficant color density.

[BicycleTree]

Here's an example of what that would look like:
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllll
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllll
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllll

[Artman]

Because you quoted my giant smiley and it didn't come out all question marks.It does show them if I highlight and until I add my lines and send it.

But seriously, that's some good computer art, especially with the forum limitations.

[BicycleTree]

Yeah, there's no limit to what you can make here, except it has to be within the maximum message length, it has to have pretty low resolution, and using a lot of colors is tedious.

Really, though, the art here (except for the eye I posted a way back) was the art of the original smiley makers. I just transcribe them.

[BicycleTree]

Although you DO have a choice of 16 million colors...

[Artman]

:rofl: I meant to compliment you on your mud wrestling narrative (LMAO), Thanks for the compliment.

though I think the referee got a double dose from both of the voluptuous contestants...I wonder if he made it out alive. :bugeye:After they pried his mouth off of... :uhh: well...they resuscitated him and they put him on oxygen. Three days later he stopped smiling. :biggrin: They think he'll make a full recovery with time and proper physical therapy. :smile:

[BicycleTree]

Humming turtles reminds me of that movie... forget what it was called... watched it a long time ago... anyway there were these turtle-like creatures who entered an evil fortress by magic humming. Something to do with elves, and ethereal beings, and giant black-armored scorpion things, and evil vulture people--I remember the name Aughra. I don't think it's as dumb as it sounds now.

[Huckleberry]

Was it The Dark Crystal?
With the evil skeksi vultures?

[BicycleTree]

Cronxeh was the one who was doing those pictures made out of smilies? Yeah, those were good.

[BicycleTree]

Yeah the Dark Crystal, that was it.

She reminded us about everything we would need--food, blankets, etc. So off we went with our wagon and a jar of peanut butter, and a blanket, and what have you. We got to the end of our block and realized we weren't familiar with anything past that point, not to mention struggling to get our heavy wagon over curbs and such. I don't think we were gone very long. It was kind of fun though, and as you know, we are still into survival games.

Yeah, franzbear, bring mommy some hot water bottles, she's cold. Now, be a good little thread and go back in the walk-in freezer to catalog those samples, all of them, and stop walking in an out, you're letting the heat back in!

(It always used to make me nervous that our walk-in freezer in one department I worked in had a note stuck on the inside of the door with instructions of how to remove the side panel to open it if you got stuck inside! Fortunately, there was always a nice big bucket of something that had melted down and refrozen and smelled awful but nobody ever claimed that we used to prop the door from closing behind us completely, just in case it didn't open from the inside. I wonder if it should make me more nervous when there aren't any such instructions?)

Why franzbear, what are you doing back out here? A cat was chasing after you and got caught in the freezer? I guess having you hide under Danger's dining table wasn't such a good idea after all. Were you being naughty to that cat? Where did you get such ideas? From the pictures I showed you?

I don't know if any of you real scientists bother looking at Scientific American, but they had a picture of a Tasmanian devil last year that looked almost exactly like that cat except for a pointier snout. Maybe the parents were trying to teach the kid respect for animals the hard way. :eek:

Hey franzbear, its your uncle Toxyn again, time for your trip to the zoo! Here we are at the big cat exhibit. Guess what pal, I slipped the keepers a little cash so we could get a behind the scenes look at the kitties. Here, let me rub this on you before I open the cage door, I know it smells like hamburger, it's really just sunscreen, can't have you getting sunburn! In you go......Wow you run fast franzbear :grumpy: , that lion sure looks sad he didn't get to give you a big hug. Are you sure you don't want to go back in? OK, I've got another suprise for you.

They pretty much pre-digest the articles found in Science (a good thing when Science goes over your head, still happens on topics outside my expertise). I used to enjoy it when I was in college and used to have the time to read it, but don't bother with it any more.

Maybe the parents were trying to teach the kid respect for animals the hard way. :eek:

They must be getting parenting advice from my mom. She'd think up something like that...let the kid get bitten, she'll learn not to do that again! Mom also believed that the only way to teach a kid not to touch a hot stove was to just let them do it once. :uhh:

I guess I'll quit feeling dumb about reading it, then. I can't afford both, so I'll stick with the predigested one.

I prefer to remain mysterious... :biggrin:

Yeah, danger, I guess monitor size does make a difference. How did the bike not look like a mess to you?

[JamesU]

bicycle tree, I can't restrain any longer, where'd you get that stupid name?

[Danger]

Yeah, danger, I guess monitor size does make a difference. How did the bike not look like a mess to you?
Everything seemed to be where it was supposed to be, if the idea was to have bars wherever the bike wasn't supposed to be (like a negative). Instead of bars, though, it's all italicized question marks. It's just really hard to stare at something all curvy like that. It almost makes a moire pattern. Neither my eyes nor my monitor are that great to start with, so it's very uncomfortable to look at.

[Moonbear]

I prefer to remain mysterious... :biggrin:

Oh, in that case, you're doing a good job. :tongue:

Yeah, danger, I guess monitor size does make a difference. How did the bike not look like a mess to you?

Oddly, when you posted the bars in this thread, it wrapped them onto a second line without stretching the text box (although when yomomma quoted it, it did stretch the box it was quoted in), but when you posted the bicycle, it stretched the text box off the side of my screen, so I had to scroll to see the whole thing. At least it didn't wrap it and turn it into a mess. Or did you tell it not to break the lines?

[BicycleTree]

Well, actually the bike is pretty colorful with several different shades of gray, from dark-gray to dark-gray highlight to light-gray to white, not to mention touches of black in a few places. It's not supposed to be just a negative image. I'll darken it with the l's.

yomamma, I chose this name because it is beautiful.

I was just reading The Onion (but PF is still #1). They have the "In-action Heroes" for men who play it safe--one of which is the "Mama's Boy" doll (who was breast fed from the age of 7, and has never taken a risk because he has never left his mama's side). In the video on Mama's Boy, he and his mama are in the grocery store. A woman holding two melons (in front of her chest) approaches him to ask a question about the melons. I'm telling you, tribdog has been busy elsewhere, and I think this is where he has gone!

You had to say it didntcha? I was trying to forget it and doing a damn good job at it, and then BAM!!! you went and said it.

I know what I have to do. I have to find a secluded little corner of the universe where I would like to settle down. Then I'll build a rocketship and I'll say to Moonbear "Hey, I got a basket of kittens in my rocketship. Want to see?" She'll get all doe-eyed and look in. Then I close the door and signal franzbear to hit the ignition. Doesn't matter how much time passes on Earth. I'm never coming back anyway.

Oops, only brought enough food and water for two. Sorry franzbear. Don't worry, it doesn't hurt so much after a few days. If you don't eat or talk then you can conserve water for much longer. The trip shouldn't take too long. A few years at the longest.

Okay, okay, I'll see if I can find another round-ish rock for him. One of these days he's going to figure out it's not really a baseball. :rolleyes:
Thanks. You're a peach, Moonbear. Meantime, I found this big sweet potato he can play with.

Hey, Huck! Look! I found your football!!! :smile:

[Moonbear]

Thanks. You're a peach, Moonbear. Meantime, I found this big sweet potato he can play with.

Hey, Huck! Look! I found your football!!! :smile:

Hey, you're right, a green peach would make a good baseball. Maybe it won't hurt as much as the rock when he misses a catch. Well, it's still going to be a few months before there are any peaches on the trees. Huck, did you know baseball season is going to start late this year? Yep, not until June or July. But you can play with that nice football MIH got for you until then. :biggrin:

[BicycleTree]

What are you even talking about?

[Moonbear]

Huck lost his baseball.

[BicycleTree]

That's all there is to it?

[Moonbear]

That's all. It doesn't take much to get our imaginations wandering. :biggrin:

[Huckleberry]

Oh, that was my baseball? I always get my sports equipment confused with my breakfast. :confused: I thought that apple was a bit chewy.

[mattmns]

I just dropped a 12" knife and it got me on my toe, just barely. However, it did make a 1/8" nice cut in my toe, although I would have prefered it cut with the grain.

edit.. I just realized it got two of my toes, :grumpy:

[BicycleTree]

That's all. It doesn't take much to get our imaginations wandering. :biggrin:
Uh, ok... I'm not sure what your imaginations are running to... something I may be missing... I don't understand why you're talking about rocks, potatos, and green peaches. Slow day? :confused: Some kind of cultural reference?

[BicycleTree]

Matt, that must have hurt. It's good that your toes are not severed. What were you doing with the knife?

[Huckleberry]

I just dropped a 12" knife and it got me on my toe, just barely. However, it did make a 1/8" nice cut in my toe, although I would have prefered it cut with the grain.

edit.. I just realized it got two of my toes, :grumpy:When you dropped the knife did you stick out your foot to stop it?
Uh, ok... I'm not sure what your imaginations are running to... something I may be missing... I don't understand why you're talking about rocks, potatos, and green peaches. Slow day? Some kind of cultural reference?Its all an attempt to confuse you. Is it working?

[BicycleTree]

Its all an attempt to confuse you. Is it working?
:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
NO ITS NOT

[mattmns]

Actually it did not hurt at all. And considering the weird way it fell, I consider myself, and my foot, to be quite lucky.

[BicycleTree]

Were you paring baseballs?

[Moonbear]

Actually it did not hurt at all. And considering the weird way it fell, I consider myself, and my foot, to be quite lucky.

:eek: Oh, ow, yikes! Those are the WORST!!! I hate when you cut yourself and it doesn't even hurt, because then you just KNOW it's going to be bad, and you don't even want to look to see what damage you've just done to yourself. And then there's that weird hop, walk, dance thing you do while trying to get to the nearest towel or band-aid in an attempt to not leave a trail of bloody toe-prints on the carpet. I hope you have a nice, comfy pair of shoes with lots of toe room to wear the next few days.

Next time you try to stab Franzbear, wait until he moves away from your feet. :biggrin:

[Huckleberry]

Yeah, I didn't even think about that. I wouldn't want to wear shoes with a nasty cut on my feet. That can't be healthy. Good thing I don't wear shoes much anyway.

I wasn't paring baseballs. I just bite into them and eat the skin and seeds and everything.

[Moonbear]

Uh, ok... I'm not sure what your imaginations are running to... something I may be missing... I don't understand why you're talking about rocks, potatos, and green peaches. Slow day? :confused: Some kind of cultural reference?

No cultural reference. Start with MIH's post 5210 and Huck's response to it in 5211. You were busy with your artwork and amusing error messages, so might have missed the set-up.

[Moonbear]

I wasn't paring baseballs. I just bite into them and eat the skin and seeds and everything.

Better be careful about eating the seeds, one of them might start growing in your tummy. :rofl: (Did you mom or grandma ever tell you that one?)

Besides, the seeds are far more useful as projectiles to pelt the younger brother or sister with. :devil:

[Huckleberry]

I seem to remember one of my relatives told me that watermelon seeds would grow in my belly if I ate them. So I tried it, but it never worked. Have you had any luck? Maybe I should eat some dirt and drink lots of water or something. The PH balance of my stomach must not be right for growing watermelons. Maybe I should try tomatoes?

My grandfather told me that pink elephants come out after the street lights turn on. I haven't seen any of those either and its been a whole week now.

I always used to find writing letters backwards much easier than just words, but it's more difficult on a computer :smile:. My maths teacher didn't used to like it though, even when we handed her a mirror with our homework.

It must be true, great minds thing alike. I am always doing the same.

For me, it sort of depends. In this thread, I can't stand to miss anything, so always go back to my last post and start from there, but I do the backward reading thing in a lot of other threads that have gone past a page in length. Then again, doing things backward may not be all that uncommon for me. :tongue2:

Yes, but I'm more like a lozenge shaped baseball on an elliptical field. I also don't have nearly as many stitches.

But for computational purposes we could still say you were approximately spherical, right?

[Huckleberry]

Maybe if you squint really hard while shaking your head in a circle. I'll look much more normal that way. Or if you put me on a pylon and spin me really fast. My center of gravity is the same as everyone elses.

That's a relief. After hearing about those flipper feet, we wouldn't want you to be any more banged up than you need to be. :rofl:

[Huckleberry]

Those flippers are pretty useful. Great balance, prehensile toes, good force to thrust ratio in a liquid medium, and its a unique fashion statement. The lozenge shape makes me fairly hydrodynaimic. In fact I look a lot like cronxeh's fish things up there.

Well, I'll spank you if you want, but I'm not sure if your turtle will like that much.

Doc Toxyn, Love the danger photo. That's the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. At first I thought it was just a drawn on handlebar moustache. Then I thought danger was wearing a merkin. Upon closer examination I saw the two beavers kissing while perched on danger's upper lip. Outstanding!!!

What about greatly perverted minds? :tongue2:

[Huckleberry]

After a while perversion becomes the controlling force. Greatly perverted minds can think alike, but they would rather choose to argue anyway, even when they agree. The people involved have no control over the matter and are observers of their own lives.

You should have warned me it was music so I'd put in my earphones! I'm still at work and probably just scared the person in the neighboring office half to death with the sudden burst of music! :tongue2:

aww darn tootin! shoulda thrown in some moaning vocals as well :biggrin:

The first time I listened to it for like 10 seconds and thought 'techno' blah. Then I listened to it again with more patience. After the first 30 seconds or so it starts getting pretty interesting. Then the vocals kick in and I was really enjoying it. (Who is that? Shakira?)

The beginning needs more. Accompanied by a visual performance that space could be filled up with other things. Listening to the music all by itself the beginning needs to be reduced in length or spiced up a little. I could see a techno club jumpin' to that song.

What did you do to it?

[SOS2008]

Well, I don't have that "Scary sorta Steve McQueeny after a motorcycle accidenty" type thing going on, but I look okay. :biggrin:Artman, this pic you sent me of you with a merkin, well first of all we can't see you, and that looks like a cat--not a merkin!

I dont know who the vocals belong to, or what the song's name is. I took it from a happy hardcore mix (DJ Myers - Contempo 7). I'm trying to find who the vocals belong to or what the song itself is, but not very successfully.

Yeah, I was pretty happy with it. Though the beavers did stand out a bit too much. I should have washed them out a bit to work with the tonal quality of the background. It's like my grandfather used to say-

They had a guy on the Tonight Show a few nights ago who had a tattoo of a face on the back of his head. He had shaved his head except for a little tuft in the back that was the mustache on the tattoo face. Simultaneously funny and a big frightening at the same time. I think they said the guy owned a motorcycle repair shop (or maybe just worked in one) in KY.

I didn't even notice that the picture didn't have a nose until you pointed it out. People can miss the simplest things.

Earlier in the afternoon I was watching Ripley's and there was a man from the UK with 6 fingers on each hand. The extra finger was between his thumb and forefinger and it was fully functional. He says that nobody even notices it. He spent several years in the military and nobody even acknowledged his extra digit.

Marketing advertisers do something similar. For example there will be a picture of a horse in their add, but the horse will have 5 legs. They theory is that the subconscious picks up on the extra appendage and makes note of it. So later when you see the product you associate it with the 5-legged horse and it stands out more.

I think I'll keep my nose anyway. I'm kind of attached to it. :tongue:
Ever notice that smilies have no noses!

I once considered trying to market breast milk products like ice cream, yogurt and cheese, but I was informed that the FDA health regulations would not permit it. Too bad, I think it would be a profitable business.

It sure would go a long way toward shutting up the anti-dairy crowd! Afterall, it would address most of their concerns about using animals (we only use willing volunteers in our production), and arguments like cow's milk isn't meant for humans. And once we go co-op, asking all drinkers to take a turn working in the dairy barn, they'll never want crunchy granola again. :biggrin:

British boy finds snake in cereal box
How non-poisonous serpent got there being probed
Updated: 11:04 a.m. ET May 4, 2005LONDON - A British boy tucking into his breakfast had a nasty surprise when he discovered a two-foot long snake inside his box of cereal.

Jordan Willett, 5, thought he had found a toy when the serpent -- a harmless corn snake -- slithered out of the packet of "Golden Puffs" his parents had bought from discount store Netto in Telford, central England.I am one of the "plutonic" PF members too. Sometimes when I spell check I click on change instead of ignore, and then end up with really weird things if I don't do a second proof reading. I don't remember the term for the kind of humor that it is, but a friend of mine and I use to write notes back and forth in class in which we would substitute words (for example intercourse for intersection) to get a laugh from the other. Maybe it caused me to develop a bad habit subconsciously? No doubt it would have been helpful if I had been paying attention in class. :uhh:

This morning I woke up with 50 minutes to the bus and still managed to do my laundry in addition to everything else and did not miss the bus.Well, actually, it was probably more like an hour to the bus. But the laundromat is a few blocks away and it takes a few minutes just to walk there. It was a great feat.That is impressive! Were you on your bike? If so, I assume you had your laundry in a back pack or something? Ah, to be so young with so much stamina--it is good that you recognize what a wonderful thing this is. :smile:

[BicycleTree]

No, I had way too much laundry for a bike. I filled a barrel... wait a minute... about 2 feet wide and 3 feet tall (canvas barrel). Probably like 30-50 pounds of laundry.

[BicycleTree]

Basically I leaped out of bed, gathered the laundry, brought it to the laundromat, came back for the detergent, started the load, went back (apt. on 3rd floor), took a shower &c, retrieved the laundry, put the laundry to dry, leaped on my bike and just made the bus (actually I had 2 or 3 minutes leeway).

[BicycleTree]

Every stage was an applied test of razor's-edge time management. For example I used the bike to bring the detergent down, and then left it on the ground floor for when I would need it in 45 minutes. When I took my shoes off (they slip on and off, they have elastic on them) after starting the load I made sure they were right in front of the door so I would waste no time. I had socks but did not use them until the very end, to save time. I have a water filter that is very slow, and I started that before the shower, so that I could fill a water bottle half an hour later without having to wait. In the final sprint by bike to the bus I was momentarily thwarted by a stoplight... so I spontaneously took a right turn onto the sidewalk for a different route.

I think I've been there before! Isn't that the house on the hill between Joe's feed barn and the sideways flying cat sanctuary? I passed by there on my way to see the world's largest cheesewheel. When I worked for Guinness World records I was assigned to measure the cheese wheel in Neillsville, WI and Berlin, Ohio to see which one would get the record for largest. Although the talking cow claimed otherwise, neither of the two cheesewheels is largest.

The largest cheese wheel is in fact in my basement. If you would like to see it send me a letter to let me know you're coming.

Wait! Slow down! That's all the French I know! Parlez vous Anglais?

Yes, I wanted to inquire about that standing order I have.

Under the name Moonbear, for delivery to Evo.

Can I confirm the address? It should be
Chocolates for Evo

No, no, that's Choosemenow, not Cheesemenow.

Yes, I understand, easy mistake. It is WI afterall.

Okay, good. And that will be a weekly delivery until the end of the year?

Um, better make that daily. And, if she's in need of more chocolate, she can just call and have it added to the order, right?

Very good!

Thanks, bye.

what a shameless, shameless plug, Moonbeer

[Huckleberry]

I can't divulge too much in such a highly competitive scenario, but I think I better make preparations to send chocolates and more. Between now and fall, the temperatures will rise, I may become more grouchy (I hate heat rash under my melons), and bribery will be all that is left. :cry: :devil:
Can you turn the melons around so they don't get so much sun on one side?

Didn't someone say that breast milk tastes like melon juice? What kind of melons are we talking about here?

[Moonbear]

what a shameless, shameless plug, Moonbeer

Moonbeer, huh? Are you trying to get me drunk?

[Danger]

Yeah, he wants to watch the melons dance as your temperature fluctuates. :biggrin:

if i was 21.. id be having one


now that Danger has totally distracted my attention and collapsed my attention span's wavefunction.. im thinking id even have 2 beers.. with some Moonmelons and SOSnacks

[cronxeh]

the question is..

does she package the beavers in sterile containers, or just leave them out in the factory-made packaging

[Danger]

does she package the beavers in sterile containers
Plural? Is she going into competition with us, or is this an anatomical anomaly that I would be fascinated by?

[cronxeh]

now when you say fascinated...

[Huckleberry]

the question is..

They wouldn't last very long if you left them out in the factory packaging. The sterile containers preserve freshness and protect the melons from the elements and unwanted melon squeezers.

edit Oh, you weren't talking about melons at all. You should talk to Danger and art if you are looking for beavers. It's their business.

[Danger]

now when you say fascinated...
I mean horny.

now now.. this IS America after all.. or at least American beavers we talking about

That is just cautious shopping. It's not wise to purchase melons (or tomatoes) without squeezing them first. The problem is with shoppers who like to squeeze the melons with no intention of ever buying them. I hate those people when they get their grubby hands all over the melons that I wanted to buy.

so is it true that mushroom cap hair are same color as beaver hair.. i wonder if its like tomatoes if the melons are of the same color..

I believe that this question demands a research programme. An extensive research programme. :biggrin:

Big Girl ones!

Last year when I was out getting tomato plants for my garden, they had a variety called Big Girl. I've heard of Big Boy tomatoes for ages, but that was the first time I saw they had a Big Girl variety. :biggrin:

[cronxeh]

we need volonteers. 18-20 y.o college females, 90-60-90 or less (cgs specifications). tolerances in beaver-merkin joints are not to exceed 0.1 from std dev

yes there've been a lot of talk about splicing up under aged genes lately.. but you might be surprised its not illegal here in the US

well you cant get funded for it.. but you are free to do it..

and i know people do it.. and they do it in fluidized beds.. in packed beds.. in all kinds of beds.. some even strap electrodes to one end and electrocute those underage chromosomes.. its really some x-rated stuff

[DocToxyn]

DocToxyn, I like the new avatar! Not as dark and forboding as the previous one; actually, it's really cute.

You had to say cute didn't you...now I have to go find something dark and forboding again :grumpy: .

I still like the wasp, it was a personnal creation. I collected a dead specimen, brought it to the lab, mounted the head, took shots with the image capture system we use for dissections, dumped it into Photoshop and hit it with a block print filter. :approve:

The frog is just borrowed off of the web, :blushing: , but I figured it was time for a change.

[DocToxyn]

Somebody hit me for not thinking of this one earlier.

Primus has a song called "Wynona's Big Brown Beaver" (http://display.lyrics.astraweb.com:2000/display.cgi?primus..tales_from_the_punchbowl..wyno nas_big_brown_beaver). The lyrics are great and in typical Primus style it has a driving bass line and Les Claypool's unique voice talent. Definitely find a copy of it and give it a listen.

Best Phrase:

Now rex he was a texan out of new orleans
And he travelled with the carnival shows.
He ran bumper cars, sucked cheap cigars
And he candied up his nose.
He got wind of the big brown beaver
So he though he'd take himself a peek,
But the beaver was quick
And grabbed him by the kiwis.
Now he ain't pi**ed for a week.

[Danger]

I still like the wasp, it was a personnal creation.The frog is just borrowed off of the web, :blushing:
Maybe you should morph them and have a flying, stinging frog. Just make sure it isn't an exploding frog. A stinger getting hurled out at Mach 2 wouldn't be much fun for the recipient.

Definitely find a copy of it and give it a listen.
That's bloody hilarious! Thanks for posting the link. Reading it is better than hearing it for me, because I have trouble making out the words in songs.

[Evo]

Really, I'll keep that in mind for my next tattoo. :tongue2:I was going to get a copy of your wasp avatar for my picture collection, but hadn't done it yet. Can you post it so I can copy it? Please?

[Moonbear]

You had to say cute didn't you...now I have to go find something dark and forboding again :grumpy:

Now, remember, I have a skewed sense of cute. At least I'm sure of what this avatar is. The wasp one took me a while to realize it wasn't an evil rabbit. :tongue2:

[DocToxyn]

Specifically I thought it was a buffalo skull.

[Moonbear]

Huh, I always thought that was a skull. Didn't look too closely.

LOL! It seems it has been open to some interpretation. :biggrin: It took me a while to realize it was even an insect of some sort...just one day I noticed it had mandibles and it all clicked. I guess that's the problem with having to shrink pictures down to avatar size. Even knowing what it is, I still more often see it as an evil rabbit.

Somehow, I think a really suitable avatar for DocToxyn would be a rattlesnake poised to strike.

[cronxeh]

i knew what it was and i dont even know what a mandibleh is

what is a mandible anyway

[mattmns]

HEY GUESS WHAT EVERYONE!

I have successfully snapped my fingers quite a few times!!! I was watching the simpsons, relaxing, and apu was singing about not needing the kwik-e-mart, and I just did it, out of nowhere. Awesome :cool:

[BicycleTree]

A mandible is... uh... a buffalo jawbone. Yes.

[BicycleTree]

Congratulations, matt!

[BicycleTree]

Wow, you know, after posting that I was looking up "mandible" on dictionary.com and it turns out it actually can be a vertebrate jaw as well as an insect jaw part. So it could be a buffalo jaw. But that wasn't the only thing I found: I found this popup: http://adopt.specificclick.net/contents/1837/mummy_40.jpg
It looked normal to me until I noticed that the skull has a tongue.

[Moonbear]

Yeah, the mandible is the mouth parts of an insect or the jaw of a vertebrate. But my first impression was that it was a nose. :rolleyes:

The key in the bee image is not to look at the large eyes as the eyes, but look at the little shadows above the eyes (at the "eyebrows") as the eyes--dim, lidded, and small.

Yes, but there aren't any poisonous turtles.
Although I did find this, which is pretty funny.
Q. Are there any poisonous turtles? A. Not really, but...

Turtles don't have teeth or fangs the way snakes do, so they have no way to deliver poison into a victim. They don't use venom for protection or predation. But there have been many reports of people becoming ill after eating American box turtles. The poison at work is apparently from mushrooms which are harmful to humans but have no effect on the turtles that eat them.Those pesky, mushroom eating box turtles. :grumpy:

C'mon Evo, the Northern Pine snake, Pituophis melanoleucas melanoleucas, I once owned was a very entertaining reptile, especially at mealtime. :bugeye: He was also the best pet to keep in the bedroom, much quieter than any of the mammals I ever owned.

The dreaded one eyed beaver snake?
Snakes and beavers do not mix well.
When beaver (Castor canadensis and Castor fiber) thin forests by cutting down trees, and when they build dams that create impoundments (ponds), certain groups of reptiles are benefited. For example, in the Piedmont of South Carolina, lizards were twice as abundant along streams with beaver impoundments than along streams without beaver impoundments (Metts et al. 2001). Turtles were six times more abundant along streams with beaver impoundments than along streams without beaver impoundments (Metts et al. 2001). However, if one excluded terrestrial turtles (i.e. Eastern Box Turtle Terrapene carolina) from the analysis, the data would show that aquatic turtles were 84 times more abundant along streams with beaver impoundments than along streams without beaver impoundments (the terrestrial Box Turtle, which enters water only occasionally, was captured with equal frequency along both impounded and unimpounded streams.

Although, generally speaking, lizards and turtles are benefited by beaver, some species of snakes are harmed by beaver. Let us look now at which specific lizards, turtles and snakes are benefited and harmed by beaver engineering.
http://www.ecology.info/beaver-reptiles.htm

And I found this funny childrens fable.
http://rocketcar.nerdygirl.com/03_dodge.html

And these beaver and snake games.
Super Beaver
You need lots of inflated balloons plus several sets of men's long underwear (one per lodge). Have one Beaver put on the long underwear. The other Beavers stuff balloons into the long underwear, trying to see how big they can make their beaver. They can change "wearers" and see if they can beat their own record. Why not add a tail, also ? (The Leader, May 1986)


Beaver, Beaver, Come Out and Be Fed

Beavers form a dam and face inwards. The leader breaks the circle and starts walking inside the circle, slowly while chanting the verse below. The leader, with the Beavers following keeps walking in circles towards the center. Once they reach the middle, they change direction and begin to weave back out. When finished, everyone is in a large circle facing outwards. How did that happen ?

Chant:


Beaver, Beaver, come out and be fed,
First your tail and then your head.
Bring your Mama and your Papa,
We'll feed you fried bacon.

Snake tag

The Beavers form two teams in two lines, with the Beavers holding onto the waist of the Beaver in front. The Beaver at the front of each team tries to tag the last Beaver on the other team. When caught, the Beaver joins the other 'snake'. The game ends when there is only one snake

Yeah, I'm okay. I've been expecting this for months now. It feels strange actually. I somehow think I should feel more sad than I actually do. I'm a bit relieved that she has passed away. She's been suffering for months now and the whole family has been pretty frantic. Would it sound harsh if I said I am glad that things can get back to normal and everyone can start moving on with their lives now?

Thanks for asking if I'm alright. Like I said before, you're the best Evo. :smile:

[Danger]

Would it sound harsh if I said I am glad that things can get back to normal and everyone can start moving on with their lives now?
Hi; I got here almost an hour ago, but I started reading a few pages back to catch up. I'm not even going to try to comment on most of it, except that I thought that Cronxeh's previous avatar was a wet rabbit with a beak.
My condolences as well, Huck. And in response to your question... no. A sense of relief is perfectly normal, but most people are too hypocritical to admit to it, or afraid of upsetting someone else who's still grieving. If she was as ill as it appears for that length of time, it was probably a relief for her too. :smile:

[Moonbear]

Would it sound harsh if I said I am glad that things can get back to normal and everyone can start moving on with their lives now?

Not harsh at all. Pretty normal really. It's hard to watch someone suffer and to watch those close suffer along as someone grows more and more ill, so it's very normal to feel relief when it's finally over. Sometimes just knowing they're done with their suffering is some comfort. There are a lot of different ways that people react to death, so there's no reason to feel guilty or bad about reacting differently than someone else does.

[Huckleberry]

Okay, back to the laughs and the good times then. I'm not sure why I brought it up besides that you guys feel like friends and I don't like keeping things to myself. (Never tell me a secret :wink: ) Thanks for the encouragement.

[Moonbear]

No problem, franzbear needed a few minutes to get his wind back in his sails anyway.

Okay franzbear, just keep that frozen broccoli on that bump on your head. And remember, if you fall off the horse, you have to get right back on it. As soon as we get back up to supersonic speed, you better get your head right back out that window.

No more procrastinating franzbear, get that head back out the window!

Molson, huh? Okay, we'll make a pitstop across the border then. Danger, have the Molson ready and we'll bring you along for the ride!

I think the time machine might be a built in feature in the supersonic RV, but I'll get franzbear to check the owner's manual. Franzbear? Uh oh! I think I hit a bit too high of an altitude. He looks a little frozen out that window. Don't worry franzbear, once we're past this neighborhood and over that forest, I can drop back down to a lower altitude without disturbing the people sleeping with the sonic boom.

No problem, Evo promised she'd bring along her beaver.

[Huckleberry]

Something very strange just happened. I heard a scratching noise coming from the trash can. I went over to investigate and saw a few ants on an empty paper bag near the trash can. I opened it up and dozens of ants were inside! I looked in the trash can and there were only a few ants. What I don't understand is that there was a box of pizza in the trash can with no ants on it, but there were tons of ants in the empty, clean paper bag. :confused:

So I flattened out the bag and dumped them out and crushed them one by one with a brass wire brush. Took about 10 minutes. I'll have to vacuum tomorrow.

Were you just extremely bored, or was there some specific reason for doing it that way?

[Danger]

Then I'm definitely in! :tongue2:

[Huckleberry]

I had some laying around right by the trash can, along with some rags, and some cans of aerosol carpet, tire, and glass cleaner and a DO NOT ENTER street sign.
I don't know why they leave these things laying around on the highway

Couldn't you just have immobilized them with the carpet cleaner (carpet bombed them, so to speak), and then squished them all at once with the street sign?

Hmm...my weapon of choice would have been the glass cleaner or carpet cleaner (maybe a little of each) and a vacuum cleaner! Then again, I'm the one who shampooed all the carpets in my house after finding about a dozen ants, most of them dead already, that snuck inside this winter. Bugs belong outside, and when they trespass, I don't fire any warning shots.

[Mk]

Funny, my weapon of choice would be a bazooka.

Can't we all just get along? :approve: Most insects that end up in my house get politely escorted back outside. Spiders can stay, if their webs are in low traffic areas. I just hate destroying something like that in front of my son and giving him the impression that its OK to do that when there are alternatives. o:) However, I do understand if you are being invaded by significant numbers and drastic measures are called for.

My latest local insect find (outdoors) was the oil beetle of the family of blister beetles, genus Meloe. When disturbed this rather large ant-like beetle will spontaneously bleed from it joints. This fluid is caustic and toxic by virtue high levels of the agent catharidin which coincidentally is the main ingredient in the aphrodisiac "Spanish Fly"....Do you guys need any of that for your RV trip?

[DocToxyn]

Somehow, I think a really suitable avatar for DocToxyn would be a rattlesnake poised to strike.

Rattlesnakes are interesting, but the scale pattern on the King Cobra's head is really striking :surprised (no pun intended, well maybe a little). Even the scientific name is pretty, Ophiophagus hannah, now how can you be scared of that!

Obviously, you can't have three 'Scouts'. There can only be one 'Scout'. The others must be named 'Rumer' and 'Tallulah'.

[Moonbear]

Can't we all just get along? :approve: Most insects that end up in my house get politely escorted back outside. Spiders can stay, if their webs are in low traffic areas.

My biggest worry with the ants was what were they eating! They weren't the little black picnic ants that take over kitchens, but they weren't the big carpenter ants either, sort of a middle sized ant. So, they were uninvited. They get into the tracks of the windows and nest for winter it seems (I don't know why, they are vinyl windows, not wood...guess it's warm enough from the heat of the house to make it desireable...they sure do pack a lot of crud in there with them), and having a warm spell in the middle of winter, they woke up and wandered inside. They definitely belonged outside, not inside. Once the weather got warm enough to open windows for a while, I just washed the rest of their friends out of the tracks and that seems to have done the trick. I don't feel too guilty about it, there are always plenty more where they came from.

I'm convinced that by killing spiders and knocking down their webs, I'm actually helping the spider population. It's a housing project for poor, underprivileged spiders. Knock down one fat spider with its huge web and there are 4 more smaller spiders waiting to move in. Spiders are welcome to stay in the garage and basement as long as they earn their keep by eating the other insects that try sneaking in that way, and they have the run of the outdoors, with the exception of any that build webs across my deck where I'll walk into them...but I don't kill those spiders, just do a funny dance of disgust as I try to get the web unstuck from myself. They are expected to relocate to a less traveled part of the yard. :yuck:

The giant, furry spiders get the best deal. There's no way I'm touching those things, alive or dead, so they get herded toward an open door with the gentle prodding of a broomstick if I find them inside.

Must be painting season at universities. They kick the students out and then don't think those of us who actually work there will mind the fumes. They painted the floors in the basement of our building (the rest of the floors are tile or carpet) and the entire building was permeated with the fumes. The thing is, they start this around 5 pm, so I guess they think everyone will be home, so don't give anyone any forewarning that we might want to plan our schedule so we can flee the toxic fumes. :confused: Fortunately, I chose to work from home the day they just showed up to paint all the walls in the labs. The wall paint isn't as bad as floor paint though! Ugh! :yuck: It gave me such a bad headache, I had to leave early that night. They did that for about 3 or 4 days, so after the first day, I just left as soon as I smelled the first whiff of the fumes. It leaves me wondering how they managed to design a building that houses labs so that odors from the basement can make their way all the way to the top floor so easily without being vented out.

It worked surprisingly well. I didn't use the carpet cleaner on the paper bag because it would get all soggy. I tried shaking them out, but those ants cling on pretty good. After getting all the ones on the outside with the brush I flattened the bag as best I could with my hands.

Didn't even occur to me to use the carpet cleaner on the ants on the carpet. The carpet cleaner is for the car. I never thought of using it on the indoor carpets. :rolleyes:

Evo, didn't have a chance to give you my full analysis prior to leaving the lab, so I had to wait until now. The purple toad is very nice, reminded me of the burrowing toads of Mexico, the pointed nose is designed for looser, sandy soils. I haven't completed my full analysis of the triple frog, although it looks supicious to me. If I had to ID the participants, I'd say the one on the bottom is a Bufonid toad due to the cranial crests and foot structure. The other two look to be Ranids by body structure and dimensions, but I could be wrong. It could be some mating process gone wrong, unless that their 'thang. It's difficult with the quality of the pic, do you have any history/info of the photo? The tortoise looks to be a Testudo sp., and you typically see such afflictions in turtles, I've never seen a tortoise, thanks!

The next set has one of my favorite groups, Monkey frogs, Phyllomedusines, they are very expressive. I'll try to round up some pics of them I've seen on the web. The White's tree frog also has a great look. Mantellas have some of the brightest colors in the frog world, very nice. Thanks for the shots.

I'll try to round up some pics of them I've seen on the web. I love frog pictures, they are so diverse. My brother used to have an aquarium with tiny frogs that would cling to the glass sides, they were so cool. Of course when I was little I would get a bucket full of tadpoles and watch them grow. I spent many afternoons collecting frogs and turtles in the bayou near my house. That's how I got my alligator snapper and softshell.

I used to have a horned toad too.

I guess my problem with snakes comes from when I was 4-5 and my next door neighbor came running at me with a shovel and tried to kill me with it. He barely missed me and hit the ground next to my foot instead. Or at least that's what I thought and ran inside and told my mother. He killed a 6 foot water moccasin (one of the most poisonous in the US) just inches from my foot.

I guess my problem with snakes comes from when I was 4-5 and my next door neighbor came running at me with a shovel and tried to kill me with it. He barely missed me and hit the ground next to my foot instead. Or at least that's what I thought and ran inside and told my mother. He killed a 6 foot water moccasin (one of the most poisonous in the US) just inches from my foot.I ran into one of those things once. I happened to be looking for bullfrogs in the bushes by a lake and found a water snake about a foot away from my face. I think it was as scared as I was. It jumped in the water and took off. I think it was a moccasin.

Another time my uncle found a rattlesnake in the shade under an old jeep in his yard in Arizona. He tied his horse up there so he grabbed a shovel and tried to shoo the thing away. This rattlesnake kept trying to slither towards him and not away. I have no idea what it was trying to do, but it looked like it wanted to bite him.

Snakes are pretty nearsighted. Maybe it thought the shovel was a cobra in distress because your uncle had it by the tail, and was trying to rescue it.

I really hate to put these things so close together; you're bound to get tired of them pretty soon. But I'm worried that the subject of dinosaurs might not come up again, so I'd better do this one now.

I don't know about the academic credential side of it, but it'll certainly give a better head-start than mere book-larnin'. They'll also know that you're serious about your intentions if you have prior real-world experience. It certainly can't hurt any. :approve:

LOL! That reminds me that when I was a kid, I called them "horny toads." :rofl:

And the little toads in the backyard that I used to catch, I called "hoppy toads." :biggrin: I have no idea what kind of toad they were, but there used to be tons of them around when I was a kid and it was quite a challenge to run after them and catch them, usually in mid-hop (they can hop pretty quickly when pursued by a small child). Mom tried to tell me they'd give me warts, and I told her no, that's only frogs, not toads. See how smart I was? :approve: At least she only instilled a fear of spiders in me, not toads. :tongue2:

More than sometimes. I figure about five percent of them were absolute gut-busters, a quarter were hilarious, and the rest were at least highly amusing. Although I didn't see most of them (the wrong Calgary paper carried it), I can honestly say that there were none that I didn't get a chuckle out of. That and 'Out of Bounds' were my two main inspirations. :biggrin:

Not here either. There was even a hint of warmth to the day again today!

If I act especially delirious tomorrow (more than usual), I'm not going to sleep tonight. I've managed to gradually become nocturnal over the past few weeks (good thing I know a bit about circadian rhythms so I can...well...what good does it do me? Oh, right, I can speculate about what sort of mutant hamster I most resemble...oh, wait...maybe that's not right...um...what good is researching something when I can't even use it to cure my own weird sleep habits?)...anywhooo...the only way to straighten myself out and get back on a normal schedule is to treat it like jet lag and just not go to sleep one night so tomorrow night I'll pass out as soon as my head hits the pillow. Best to do this over a weekend when nobody expects me to be functional. :rolleyes: But that means I'll probably be pretty loopy by tomorrow afternoon. :tongue2:

[BicycleTree]

I used to do that in the summers. I'd go to sleep later and later and then eventually cycle through the full day.

[BicycleTree]

There is a time, late at night, when the fog of fatigue lifts. Then a few hours later you crash again.

Just stuff from previous posts. I can't remember anything specific. Probably a reference to a girlfriend or something.

[Moonbear]

Yep, for me that's around sunrise. If I can make it until the sun is fully up, and if I do stuff that keeps me active instead of sitting around doing thinking work, then I can get through the day. I never realized how well my experiment schedule used to work for my crazy sleep habits. I used to need to do a lot of experiments in the middle of the night (I'd take the 10 pm to 4 am shifts on 24 h experiments), so my nocturnal habits didn't seem odd to people. I can't get away with it any more though, so need to get myself back on a normal schedule.

[BicycleTree]

The rain muffles all the sounds of the city. It's good.

[Danger]

Speaking of which, I've got day-shift tomorrow and a party all night, so I'm hitting the springs now. 'Night all.

[Moonbear]

Are you trying to tell me that by your standards, you haven't been loopy all these past few months? :bugeye:

Not as loopy. Just wait until you see the sort of replies I post by tomorrow night! They'll make your head spin! :rofl:

Oh, I just remembered the sort of emails I used to send to one of my friends when I was still in grad school and would be writing to him while trying to keep myself awake through all-night experiments. I'd get these replies back like, "What the hell was that?" I'd have sent emails about 4 or 5 pages long that just jumped from one topic to another in a stream of consciousness style about the most mundane topics that you'd think nobody could spend 4 pages writing about.

Then again, I could just claim I was practicing to be professorial. :rofl: Speaking of which, I got a review back on a manuscript this week with the most bizarre lecture about nomenclature! The journal changed their policy on nomenclature since I submitted it (it's really new because the articles even in the most recent issue don't reflect this change yet, so it's not like I could have known this before submitting the article), so all I needed to be provided was a link to the site with the approved nomenclature and a sentence informing me of the policy. The editor went on for about 5 paragraphs about the importance of nomenclature (nevermind that when I did a search using the nomenclature they want me to use, only 9 articles came up out of the thousands on the topic...I don't know what nitwit renamed everything, but apparently this journal wants us to play along. :rolleyes: I'll just make sure I define both the new nomenclature and the protein names everyone actually knows and uses). When I sent the comments out to my co-authors, ALL of them replied with some pretty funny remarks about the lecture. There has GOT to be a better use of one's time! Oh well, I got a good laugh about it and the reviewers' comments were incredibly minimal, so there should be no problem making the revisions and finally getting it published.

After the manuscript is accepted, I'll talk to the editor about his over-the-top lecture...it could be construed as incredibly condescending; I just happen to know he's the sort of person who would get hung up on details like that so don't take it personally, but someone else might not take it as well.

(Ha ha...see, I'm already rambling!)

Speaking of which, I've got day-shift tomorrow and a party all night, so I'm hitting the springs now. 'Night all.

How do you know I don't? Well, I do share emotional, personal experiences online, with some people, but being personal, I don't share them out in the open. As for secrets, well, they're secrets. If I told you, it wouldn't be a secret anymore, would it? My deepest, darkest secrets will go with me to my grave. So will the secrets others have entrusted to me. I'm really good at keeping secrets.

[BicycleTree]

Of course--I do not mean secrets on principle entrusted to you, but personal experiences and secrets of an emotional nature. You do share these with others, but only with those you trust well. Wonder why? Because they are the essence of your humanity and everyone who knows them has spiritual power over you.

Not really. Maybe I'm just weird, but I'm more likely to share those experiences with total strangers than with people I've known my whole life.

In the wee hours of the morning, I was looking to see what was going on today that I could do to stay entertained while struggling to stay awake, and was trying to decide between the art museum and conservatory, both very close to each other, and finally went with the conservatory when I found they have a butterfly show this weekend where they release LOTS of butterflies among the exhibits, and that sounded pretty nifty. But, it's only open until 5 and I slept until 2, then it just took me the better part of an hour to finish waking up. :frown: Oh well, now what to do to entertain myself for the rest of the day?

Well, considering I'm home on dial-up today, so it was loading VERY slowly, which meant I got to listen to it in about 10 second snippets interrupted by about a minute more of loading each time (I listened to about half of it)...I like it. Sounds a bit like Cher's "I Believe" album. Who's the artist? It sounds familiar, but listening in snippets makes it hard to identify if I know the music already or not. I can't get any music like that on the radio around here, no stations play it. :grumpy: That's one thing I really miss about the east coast is the variety of music stations. When I lived in Jersey, I used to be able to get a station that played good dance music all night. I can't remember what station it was anymore, so don't know if they still exist.

When they cover your whole body like that, they are in some rather tender areas! Which leaves me wondering if there are tattoos they couldn't show in that photo? :surprised

[Moonbear]

Look on the first page, ever wonder why its called "thread killer champions"?

That's what we're doing. This is the championship thread-killer match.
Amateurs. :rolleyes:

:biggrin:

[BicycleTree]

No one here is killing the thread. I tried that once but I guess it was against the rules.

[BicycleTree]

You know, I was the first one to point out that this thread has become a general chat.

[Moonbear]

Well, if everyone would just stop posting in this thread, we could kill it rather quickly! Or, rather, I could kill it quickly. :devil:

[DocToxyn]

Well, if everyone would just stop posting in this thread, we could kill it rather quickly! Or, rather, I could kill it quickly. :devil:

Oh, you know we're not going to let that happen, especially since you scooped the 5000th post!

Yeah, those tattoos can be painful. :surprised The funny thing was that as it was happening there were spots where it didn't hurt much at all and right next to it the pain would shoot to various spots of my body quite some distance away from the needles. Really a strange experience and almost everyone I know that has done it can't wait to do it again. :devil:

My brother tells me the same thing. He says they are addictive. He's got about 5 of them now and plans to get more.

I think I'll stick with the skin I got. Tattoos aren't my style anyway.

[BicycleTree]

Har har har. That's the joke, but it's only a joke. Nobody is actually trying to kill the thread.

[Moonbear]

Har har har. That's the joke, but it's only a joke. Nobody is actually trying to kill the thread.

Well, we did start out trying to kill it, but then we gave it a name, and grew rather fond and attached to it, and little franzbear is getting all grown up and is turning into such a handsome lad, well, once you give them names, it's really hard to kill them. :rolleyes:

Well, dang, yours runs along your whole ribcage! That's supposed to be one of the most painful places to get a tattoo. (Aside from the places we can't show pictures of here...ever see pictures of those? I can only hope those guys passed out almost immediately! *shudders* :surprised)

My sister has a small one of a dream catcher on her thigh. She's always been the wild one. I tend to avoid things I know in advance are going to be painful.

http://img189.echo.cx/img189/8416/crazytattoo20lq.jpgAll I can say is that the guy in the middle is the reason that some animals eat their young. I can just see his mother beaming with pride, showing his pictures to the other moms. Yes, little Johnny always traveled to the beat of a different drum. :bugeye:

I think I shall name him franzbear. (the one in the middle)

Different drum? He's traveling to a whole different band! I'm still shuddering over that one! I guess he can always get a job in a call center where no customers ever have to see him. I'd probably die of fright if I ran into him at night, and I'm usually pretty relaxed about crazy things kids do.

I'm still trying to figure out how the one with the nose ring can breathe. It looks like it fills his nostrils completely!

[Moonbear]

I think I shall name him franzbear. (the one in the middle)

No, no, no!!!! You're not letting little franzbear get any tattoos like that! He can have a nice turtle like his Uncle Toxyn, but that's it! He can dye his hair any color he wants and wear make-up even, but no tattoos on the face!!! Only things that grow out or wash off.

[BicycleTree]

Threads don't have faces. So, now you have abandoned all pretense of harming the thread?

[BicycleTree]

Or, actually, any face in the thread counts as the thread's face... so the thread already has a tattooed face!

[Moonbear]

:surprised Did you sneak little franzbear out for the tattoo!!! :mad: Where's his father? He needs to give his son a good talking to for that! :grumpy:

[Huckleberry]

Come on franzbear. I want to introduce you to some friends of mine. They have some really nice toys. Here, you can use this to color all over yourself and it'll never wash off. Isn't that amazing. What do you say we start by filling in those fence post impressions Uncle Artman left on your face. We'll get you some new teeth too, stronger, faster, better teeth. Really shiny ones that Moonbear will just love.

[BicycleTree]

Well I am not going to stay up as late as I did last night. Good night.

[Huckleberry]

Goodnight Bicycle Tree. :smile: :zzz:

What are you doing to my baby?!?!?!?!?! franzbear, I can't even leave you alone for a moment! Haven't you learned not to listen to your Uncle Huck when he tells you to do things?

[Huckleberry]

I find that large quantities of alcohol make people much more pliant. When that doesn't work small quantities of ether do the trick very well. Besides, I think franzbear looks quite handsome with his new look. Just look at him smile. I probably shouldn't have used those rusty needles for his tatoo. Oh well, I doubt it will make a difference anyway.

Hey, Now that Bicycle Tree is asleep what do you say we shave off one of his eyebrows and take a few photos for all his friends?

:rofl: :devil: Only if I can draw funny things on his face with eyeliner. :tongue2:

[Huckleberry]

:rofl: :devil: Only if I can draw funny things on his face with eyeliner. :tongue2:Oh he'll love that. I would use a permanent marker. Imagine the look on his face when he wakes up and goes to the bathroom and sees stuff on his face. Maybe a big swastika on his forehead and a love note from Uncle Charlie. I bet he would get a kick out of that.

How's your rescheduling going?

[Moonbear]

Ooh, you're more creative than I am. I was thinking of drawing in eyes on his eyelids and a handlebar mustache.

How's your rescheduling going?

Didn't work. I only took a 4 hour nap (it was only meant to be a half hour or hour nap), but I'm right back where I started only 4 hours of sleep. Maybe I should try melatonin again. I tried it before, and it was useless, but I don't think the dose was high enough to be effective in overcoming normal feedback mechanisms. I might just see if it works to increase the dose a bit. If not, then back to the drawing board.

[Math Is Hard]

Oh, the swastika tattoo looks great! I think he needs to show it off. In, fact, franzbear, why don't you take this car for a drive through South Central, L.A. and show off your tattoo to all the folks there. You must be old enough to drive by now. Which car? Oh, just take this one with the "Rodney King had it coming" bumper sticker. Make sure you wave to all the new friends you meet. Making new friends is good!

Oh, man! franzbear, make sure you tell all your new friends that it was your idea!

:uhh: Maybe this is going too far... *slips bullet-proof jacket onto BT* Okay, now I don't feel so guilty.

And, franzbear, honey, here's a nice bandana for you to wear to look cool for all the friends you're going to meet.

[Math Is Hard]

And, franzbear, honey, here's a nice bandana for you to wear to look cool for all the friends you're going to meet.
LOL! :rofl: And make sure you take the freeways back home when you're done playing with your new friends. That's the safest route.

[JamesU]

:rofl: :devil: Only if I can draw funny things on his face with eyeliner. :tongue2:
Do what you want. I suggest too much lipstick, too much eye shadow, and the bad side of town.(pick up some extra money for the weekend) :tongue2:

LOL! :rofl: And make sure you take the freeways back home when you're done playing with your new friends. That's the safest route.

Oh, but do drive nice and slow. We don't want you to get hurt. If someone tries to rush you by honking the horn, you just give them the finger and let them know who's boss. :tongue2:

[DocToxyn]

We'll get you some new teeth too, stronger, faster, better teeth. Really shiny ones that Moonbear will just love.

Huck, what are you thinking? The last thing we need is to pull a "Lee Majors" on little franzbear. He's hard enough to get rid of without him being the "Six-Million Dollar Kid". :cry:

[DocToxyn]

Hey, Now that Bicycle Tree is asleep what do you say we shave off one of his eyebrows and take a few photos for all his friends?

No wait, lets dip his hand in warm water....no,no lets put egg whites in his shorts...oooh no lets put shaving cream on his hands and tickle his face, no lets move him and his matress into the elevator...no lets duct tape him into his bed...no, wait lets..... :rolleyes: :devil:

BTW, I have participated in all these at some point in my life, I just won't say how...

I've got it! We put the shaving cream on his hands, tickle his face. The, to "clean" his hands, we'll dip them in warm water. Now, quickly, dict tape him to his bed and slip those eggs in for a urine and egg mixture. Now, we take him to the elevator and press all the buttons. :tongue:

If you're going to send him to every floor in the elevator, you should stick a keg of beer in there with him to appease those who were planning to use the elevator and are inconvenienced by his snoring.

[Moonbear]

Huck, what are you thinking? The last thing we need is to pull a "Lee Majors" on little franzbear. He's hard enough to get rid of without him being the "Six-Million Dollar Kid". :cry:

[JamesU]

If you're going to send him to every floor in the elevator, you should stick a keg of beer in there with him to appease those who were planning to use the elevator and are inconvenienced by his snoring.
We could just give him some sleeping pills, put him in a potato sack, and leave him in the dumpster on garbage day. :tongue2:

franzbear will do it for you. We know from previous experience that he's immune to the effects of electrocution. :grumpy:

Whenever I'm scrolling down the posts it drags as I come across those graphics. It looks like everything gets all scrambled up and some things reload faster than other parts of the screen and I feel like I'm in limbo.

In that case, maybe it's time to ask BT to stop posting those. I didn't have a problem with his recent "artwork" since it stayed small enough to scroll past quickly, but if it's causing people problems, hopefully he'll be considerate and stop (or just post them somewhere else where those who don't have a problem viewing them can enjoy them without them disturbing those can't view them without it bogging down their computers...BT, why don't you resurrect that thread with the bicycle art in it for those pictures?).

What kind of computers do you people have? Mine is only 2.4 gHz and it is not slowed down much.

Mine's a piece of junk, too. No way is it running at full speed.

I notice that this thread has 5733 posos and 47529 views. Does this mean that only about 8-9 people are reading it? Sometimes I'll read a post and I won't see the number of views increase when I refresh the page. How is the number of views determined?

[BicycleTree]

Probably it's the number of views after each post. So after someone posts, everyone who views it gets added again, and then they don't get added again no matter how many times they view it until someone posts again.

I have also noticed that the number of views apparently has a delay on it. Maybe it's only added up every hour or so.

[Moonbear]

Probably it's the number of views after each post. So after someone posts, everyone who views it gets added again, and then they don't get added again no matter how many times they view it until someone posts again.

No, it seems to count even if you view the same thing twice...or more.

I have also noticed that the number of views apparently has a delay on it. Maybe it's only added up every hour or so.

I don't notice a delay. Maybe it depends on how frequently you refresh the page and how often your browser updates the cache?

Wow, that came across pretty condescending! :bugeye: Does it surprise you that not everyone may own the latest in high speed computers or be using high speed access?

[BicycleTree]

No, my computer really is a piece of junk. And 2.4 GHz is really not very good. It's a 2 year old laptop with a broken screen and a SMART failure predicted on boot for the hard drive. The CD-RW drive does not work and neither does the floppy drive. Plus there are two keys missing from the keyboard and the mouse port no longer works.

[BicycleTree]

I have a monitor, mouse, and keyboard hooked up, so it's usable, but still, it's junk.

LOL! Sounds like my last PC. If I moved it, some card popped out so it wouldn't start up (or do much of anything), so I had to carry a screwdriver with it everywhere I went. After opening it up a few 100 times, the tabs that hold the keyboard down snapped off. Yeah, one of the keys fell off too. I didn't manage to crack the monitor, but the screws attaching it to the base are stripped, so it's pretty wobbly. Then again, it's over 10 years old now, and if I'm really nice to it, and want to wait a long time, it still starts and runs what's on it. Nonetheless, if someone else was using something that gave them worse performance, it would be rude to tell them they were using something that's worse than a piece of junk. It might just be a slow connection, or whatever else they are running slowing down the computer. Or maybe they do have a slower computer, and they may be aware of that, so no need to point it out.

[DocToxyn]

Piranhas get a bad rap. I had one as a pet once, his name was "Sid Fishious". He was probably the most personable fish I had, when I cleaned the tank, he would come right up to my arm and just stare at it. :bugeye: I never lost any flesh and he was a great subject to watch. Now all I have are some guppies, danios, a goldfish and Thomas the Newt.

The sad fact is that if someone's computer is slower than mine, it's slower than a piece of junk. The logic is inescapable:

Let Sxy = x is slower than y, m = my computer, Jx = x is a piece of junk
1. Jm (:. (x)(Sxm --> (Ey)(Sxy & Jy)) )
2. Sxm (assume)
3. Sxm & Jm (1, 2, conj)
4. (Ey)(Sxy & Jy) (3, EG)
5. Sxm --> (Ey)(Sxy & Jy) (2-4, CP)
6. (x)(Sxm --> (Ey)(Sxy & Jy)) (5, UG)

That's a great pet name! :biggrin: My best friend growing up had a piranha too...well, I think it was her brother's, but that didn't matter to us.
We just liked feeding it. It was certainly better behaved than the catfish my sister has that ate everything else in the aquarium and just won't die. I asked her if she's going to eat it when it gets big enough, and she gave me a look like this: :grumpy:

[SOS2008]

I'd be willing to wager that they are some of the most interesting, kindest people one could ever meet. How could they not have a good sense if humor when they choose to wear a Halloween costume every day of the year? If I had any house pets I'd be cautious about letting them know where I live.True about judging someone by their appearance--the one guy has a Che Guevara tatoo, which shows some thought. I really was just posting the pic in regard to the joke about being tagged by Wild Kingdom.

[Danger]

she gave me a look like this: :grumpy:
How on Earth can she make herself go orange? :confused:

That for sure is one of the best pet names I've ever heard. Another was a neighbour when I was a kid and the Chinese Cultural Revolution was still a hot topic. She named her Siamese Mousy Tongue. :biggrin:

Yeah, those tattoos can be painful. :surprised The funny thing was that as it was happening there were spots where it didn't hurt much at all and right next to it the pain would shoot to various spots of my body quite some distance away from the needles. Really a strange experience and almost everyone I know that has done it can't wait to do it again. :devil:Wow, interesting -- Maybe some kind of acupuncture aphrodisiac? I wanted a tatoo, but now I think I'm too old for such thoughts. :frown:

Oh darn, he's awake. I was gonna handcuff him to a bed in a sleezy hotel and hire a prostitute to wake him up. We'll have to take all his money before we let the prostitute in the room.

That's because the British speak very deliberately. Sharon accentuates the t's. In American slang it all kind of runs together really quickly. By the time you realize what you're hearing it's already over. Hmm, why does that sound familiar?

I wish I had that problem. I didn't manage to cure my nocturnality over the weekend, I made it worse! Thank heavens I'm an academic and can get away with starting my work day at sunset. People start thinking I'm a vampire when I keep schedules like this (at least I'm no longer going out on a farm collecting blood samples all night...that really didn't help my reputation). I already have very pale skin, and then when I don't come out in daylight, plus I have two pointy incisors instead of normal flat ones (not the front teeth, but the ones next to them...another treat of genetics...a few of my cousins have the same, so I know which side of the family it comes from). I try to tell people it means I'm more carnivorous than most, but they seem to prefer the vampire story. :rolleyes:

I'm on a web conference and we all got an e-mail telling us there were two ways to register. It said to either register as a guest or register as a member if you had an ID.

Ok, on the registration web page on the left side it says "register as a guest" and on the right side of the page it says "register as a member". (we don't have ID's to this particular site)

Want to take a guess how many people entered their name as "guest"? Out of 118 participants only 6 of us have names, all the other participants are named "guest". Well, the e-mail did say "register as a guest". :rolleyes: :uhh: :bugeye:

I'd expect something like that from a group of secretaries whose job it is to follow directions literally, but not from people who are actually involved in IT. :rolleyes:

Make that for two! Yummmyyyyy!!! Yomamma, you should give it a try. But if you do, go to a place with a good reputation. If you don't like it, don't have it again, but it never hurts to try new things. You can also get something like a California roll that has cooked crabmeat in it along with cucumber and avocado...it's a good place for those not brave enough to try raw fish to start and just see if the general idea is something palatable to you.

My favorite is sashimi. If I go out for sushi, I do a whole meal. Some miso soup, then sushi and maybe a salad of some sort, a little tempura on the side, and then a nice cold saki with dessert. :approve:

And I haven't even eaten dinner yet. :grumpy:

[Huckleberry]

I don't like crab meat. Just about any kind of fish is great. I don't mind octopus, but it is a little chewy. But for some reason I never met a crustacean that I liked to eat.

I don't know the names of all of those sushi things. I just point and grunt and they put it on a plate for me. My elbows dance all over the table and and I can't sit still for a minute. I always chew with my mouth closed though. I guess that's something.

Time to eat for me. Burgers, which is what I usually get to fill up the corners after every time I've had sushi.

I don't know the names of all of those sushi things. I just point and grunt and they put it on a plate for me.
I usually have to find the translated menu, and I slowly learn what I like in Japanese. Very little on the menu I won't eat, so no big deal if I order the wrong thing. Oh, yeah, the octopus is usually too chewy for me too. Tastes good, but hard to eat.

My elbows dance all over the table and and I can't sit still for a minute. I always chew with my mouth closed though. I guess that's something.

Why would anyone eat raw meat?

Like Moonbear said, there are a lot of maki rolls and nigiri (the small rice mound topped with whatever) that aren't raw fish. Cucumber, asparagus, egg, gourd aresome vegetarian options and several cooked fish/shellfish types like surf clam, shrimp and barbequed eel (my favorite). There is a local place (http://www.californiarollin.com) that really gets crazy and does rolls with raspberry, jalapenos and cream cheese amoung others, excellent stuff. The best I had was out in San Francisco, I ordered ama ebi, sweet shrimp, and they brought out the expected nigiri which was great, then as we were working through some other sushi the waitress brings out the rest of the shrimp. The heads, complete with antennae, eyes and all were lightly battered and deep fried until very crisp. :bugeye: They were awesome, like shrimpx10, mmmm...tasty. :tongue2:

Nervous Taxi Driver

A passenger in a taxi leaned over to ask the driver a question and tapped him on the shoulder. The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up over the curb, and stopped just inches from a large plate glass window.

For a few moments everything was silent in the cab, and then the still
shaking driver said, "I'm sorry but you scared the daylights out of me."

The frightened passenger, apologized to the driver, and said he didn't
realize a mere tap on the shoulder could frighten him so much.

The driver replied, "No, no, I'm sorry, it's entirely my fault. Today is my first day driving a cab.... I've been driving a hearse for the last 25 years."

Okay. Well, wait, a direct blow might do some permanent damage. franzbear, hon, hop up on icvotria's head. That's a good thread.

Are those birds I here real birds welcoming the dawn, or are they the little yellow chicks flying round Franzbear's head? I hope it's the latter, if the sun comes up again before I tell it it's ok it's going to be in big trouble.

I'm a Jonny-come-way-too-lately, it's 4 in the bastard morning. I can't sleep for figs. Will someone please hit me over the head with a hammer?My favorite sleep remedy is to heat up some milk just to the point where it is about to boil. Then I sip on that in a quiet room for a few minutes. I usually add a little bit of sugar, which seems to defeat the purpose, but it works for me. But why would you want to sleep anyway?

Mmmmmm..... Hot milk and honey, yum yum yum, what a good idea. I have to go to sleep so I can have lots of weird dreams and post them in the sweet dreams thread and have them analysed. And so I don't go crazy from sleep deprivation, I'm already teetering precariously on the edge of sanity....

Darn, I know that feeling! Same thing happened last night (er...this morning???). I was just getting drowsy and lying my head on the pillow, and realized the birds were chirping away and the first sliver of light was showing through the window. :grumpy: If you'd please hold up the sunrise on your end, it would really help me out over here too!

Tonight I'm back to giving melatonin another chance. Increased the dose from 3 to 4.5 mg and I'm starting to yawn already...there might be some hope!

And so I don't go crazy from sleep deprivation, I'm already teetering precariously on the edge of sanity....In that case, the best way to get good memorable dreams is to get plenty of sleep. Stay in bed for another hour after you have had enough sleep. That's the best time for dreams. Afternoon naps are pretty good too. Any time were your almost conscious, but not quite.

I know when the sun comes up it might as well hit me with a hammer. My eyes get all squinty and I can't keep them open. Then it's all over for me. If I'm tired the sun always puts me in my coffin, I mean bed.

The sun never listens to me. It's so disobedient, it thinks it rules the world. One day I'll teach it a lesson. My cat's on the window sill making funny noises at the birds. Is it possible that she's trying to copy them? That's just what it sounds like. Is my cat trying to sing like a bird? Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes

Have you considered putting her on a diet? Not necessarily denying her food, but at least going for the low-cal senior cat type. My previous cat was 16 pounds when I got him, at age 10, and got down to about 8 or 9 pounds over the next few years. He was actually terribly underweight when he died, but that was almost exactly on his 20th birthday and he'd been ill.

[SOS2008]

Why would anyone eat raw meat?Aside from all the other advise given (I also recommend California Rolls for beginners)...I like to pour my soy sauce in the dish and mix a little wasabi in it. Then dip the sushi into the sauce, and I usually add a little fresh ginger too. Many people find the food bland and tasteless, but especially a big chunk of raw fish is not as good if it has no flavor. Soon you will figure out how much wasabi you like, and if you like it you will start putting it directly on your sushi. :biggrin:

Okay, I spent an hour thinking about people on LSD. Then they all turned to me and said, "Dude, quit crashin' our party, man." I thought it would be best to leave then... :rofl: After looking at the graphic cronxeh posted, for awhile there I thought I was on LSD! :rofl:

1. Try to go to sleep and rise the same time each night and morning.
2. Don't read, watch TV, etc. in bed. You are to associate the bed and bedroom with sleep.
3. Keep a book and pen by your bed so you can write down thoughts of all the things you need to do. After writing these things down, it's easier to forget about it and relax.
4. Don't read serious posts on PF right before bedtime (and maybe not at all)! Wait, what am I saying! :bugeye:

Speaking of which, I need to be winding it down myself about now...

Oh m'gosh! Astronuc stopped in? The one with the great bod? And I missed it? :frown:I thought it was strange that he came by here too. I feel like someone took a quick dip in the backyard pool while I was asleep. When the motion detector lights woke me up I looked out there to see what was going on, but the culprit was gone. Then I notice this little note that says "Astronuc was here" and a little picture of Kilroy underneath it. And I was like "WHAT!"

That's the impression I got anyway.

Hey SOS, what's up with the 4 posts in a row? Something needs to be done about the scrolling previous pages to gather information while posting. Is there a simpler way that I'm missing?

[Moonbear]

Soon you will figure out how much wasabi you like, and if you like it you will start putting it directly on your sushi. :biggrin:

That's the way I do it. I stick a big glob of wasabi on the sushi, then dip the sushi in soy sauce. I always have to be gentle on the first bite, figure out how strong the wasabi was made. But, the worst that happens is you see stars and clean out your sinuses. I love to watch people who are new to sushi take a big bite of wasabi. :devil:

He would always talk about hot sauce all the time like it was his personal obsession. My other coworkers and myself made a bet that if I could eat more hot sauce than he could then he could never talk about hot sauce ever again.

It wasn't really hot sauce we were using. It was some sort of industrial degreaser. The stuff was concentrated habanero peppers and it was STRONG! I think it was called Dave's Hot Sauce. I ate like almost 2 tablespoons of the stuff and beat him. I felt fine for a while but the last hour of work I was just dying. I was going to the water fountain every 5 minutes to get something to drink. It felt like it was burning a hole in my stomach. When I got out of work I rushed to my car and drove to a 7/11 and got some pepto. That helped a lot. I thought for sure I was gonna burn a hole through my stomach lining.

That bastard didn't keep his word. We never could shut him up. Oh well.

:rofl: I have a bottle of hot sauce like that, though it's looking funny colored now, so probably isn't good anymore. Just a few drops goes a VERY long way. I like it just because it adds spice without that vinegar flavor of sauces like Tabasco.

When I lived in Ann Arbor, there was a taco joint that had a monthly hot sauce tasting event (they sold a lot of different varieties). I wish I had discovered that sooner, but as with all good things, I seem to find out they exist only a short time before I move out of the town.

Like he said, there needs to be an easier way to do multiple quotes. Maybe something like check marks next to the posts you want to quote and then a button where you can choose to quote checked posts?

I'm also wondering, is it just me, or if you try to quote a post that contains a quote, you only get the new text and not the embedded quote? Sometimes I want to include both, and can't do so just by clicking the quote button.

Yeah, I "wake up" like that too. The alarm goes off, I turn it off, and have no recollection of it, or incorporate it into some weird dream, and keep right on sleeping. I've tried putting the alarm clock on the other side of the room, setting lights on timers to shine at the bed, setting multiple alarms, using the radio on the alarm, using the buzzer on the alarm, using one of those old fashioned alarms with the loud bells. When I change it up, something new will work for about a week, and then I learn to sleep through it again.

I don't remember what kind of Dave's Hot Sauce it was. We used my coworkers personal supply that he brought with him every day.

Habenaro is an ingredient in many of the hottest sauces. When it's pure capsaicin, it doesn't really matter from which pepper it originates. Ref: http://www.fiery-foods.com/dave/capsaicin.asp

This is one of the places I like to shop - http://www.2hotlicks.com

[Huckleberry]

Wow, that capsaisin stuff is strong. 13 grams or less to kill a 150 pound person. No wonder they made you sign a waiver to buy something with that as an ingredient in it. I doubt anyone would willingly consume that much of the stuff, but people do crazy things sometimes. :uhh:

I notice at the bottom of your first link that it listed the negative effects of capsaisin.But most people react very negatively to the super-hot sauces, experiencing severe burning and sometimes blistering of the mouth and tongue. Other immediate responses have included shortness of breath, fainting, nausea, and spontaneous vomiting. People should be very careful of commercial hot sauces that list oleoresin capsicum as an ingredient.What can this stuff do once inside your stomach. I really felt like it was doing some serious damage in there. Ulcers maybe?

Hmm, interesting. Seems spicy food can cause a condition called Gastritis (which sounds like what I had) that can cause ulcers, but it can also hamper the bacteria H. Pylori which causes ulcers.

[DocToxyn]

Like many issues in human toxicology and natural substances the jury is still out on capsaicin. Searches are further complicated by the fact that capsaicin is used in neuroscience as a pharmacological agent. I can't check these citations since I'm at home but the abstracts look interesting. Medical Hypotheses (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=12208187), Life Science review (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=7746093)

Maybe a misunderstanding when I use the term 'clipboard'. I don't know what that means in a PC. In a Mac, it's just where things go when you cut or copy them. No need to actually access it, although you can in order to see what's there. I don't like keyboard shortcuts because I can never remember them and clicking is just as easy.

Yes, that's what I use. On a mac, it's just command c and command v, same idea.

You have a pretty screwy idea of 'better'. My boss gave me her old 900mHz Pentium 4 machine, and all I use it for is to run my watch software and a couple of games. This G3 at 233mHz puts it absolutely to shame for speed of actually doing something useful. It's twice as fast on Excel or Word. I have no way to compare Photoshop, because the PC doesn't have it, but it's damned fast (loads and opens Photoshop 6 in 7 seconds). :approve:

I have no way to compare Photoshop, because the PC doesn't have it, but it's damned fast (loads and opens Photoshop 6 in 7 seconds). :approve:
I've used Photoshop on both Macs and PCs (the most recent version for each). There are features on the Mac version that I don't think exist on the PC version (or they are hidden in some horribly non-obvious menu somewhere). I kindly allowed my PC-using colleagues to use one of our Macs when they wanted to do some Photoshop work and we couldn't figure out how to do stuff on their PC that seemed like pretty basic functions to me. :approve:

And if you call a dual-processor 2.7mHz G5 Power Mac 'surrendering', you should seriously consider getting professional care. :tongue:
Stop making me drool. I haven't upgraded to a G5 yet. But one of my colleagues got one and it was like watching a bunch of guys admiring a new car the way we all gathered around in awe! But stay away from that anemic Mac mini. What a waste! They really screwed up on that one.

[icvotria]

QUESTION!

is anyone here a musician?

or plays around with MIDI-based equipment?
I'm kind of a musician, if you've got a musicy music question I could probably help, but if it's a MIDI question, I'll be of no help at all.

[Evo]

Okay. I thought I remembered that working before. Must have been prior to the upgrade. Is it no longer possible with the new version, or do we just need to ask Greg and Chroot nicely to add it back?Hmmm, good question... It sure would be nice to have that back.

[JamesU]

so again, moonbear, and danger, what types of macs do you use?

[Astronuc]

I thought it was strange that he came by here too. I feel like someone took a quick dip in the backyard pool while I was asleep. When the motion detector lights woke me up I looked out there to see what was going on, but the culprit was gone. Then I notice this little note that says "Astronuc was here" and a little picture of Kilroy underneath it. And I was like "WHAT!"Ninja training. :biggrin:

[Moonbear]

so again, moonbear, and danger, what types of macs do you use?

PowerBook G4 is what I use from home, but it travels with me everywhere and is my primary computer unless I need the larger monitor for working with images, and a G4 Power Mac at the office.

[JamesU]

My school has alot of iMacs. :uhh: I, personally find them to be terrible and time wasting computers. "control" "copy image" "hide internet explorer" "show microsoft power point" "control" "paste image" :uhh:

[Danger]

so again, moonbear, and danger, what types of macs do you use?
Sorry, dude. I wasn't ignoring you. I answered this, but somehow it ended up in the McDonald's thread.:confused:
G3 Power Mac, at least 5 years old. 233 mHz, but I can overclock it to 300 if I want to. (I don't want to because it's in a confined area and might overheat.) 95 Mb onboard RAM with 150 Mb virtual. 1Gb hard drive. Sometimes I link it to my old Quadra because it has some programmes on it that this doesn't, such as Quark Express. It can also link to the docking station for my Duo Books, and my co-worker is giving me an old Mac of hers tomorrow, but she doesn't know what kind it is. If it's hotter than the Quadra, I'll probably hook it up to this permanently. (Most importantly, it's got a 17" monitor, because this 13" thing had been driving me nuts.)

Huh? You seem to need to learn to use the Mac! Are they still running OS 9.x? In OS 9, the task bar isn't as convenient, but in OS X, you can have a bunch of applications all open at once and just use the task bar to bring whichever one you want to the top. If you're copying a lot of things back and forth between two applications, you don't need to minimize one to open the other, just open them slightly offset from one another and you can click back and forth, or resize the view so they are side by side. You can also just drag images onto the desktop without copying, and then insert the files from the desktop. That way you don't have to keep switching back and forth between applications at all, just do everything in one, then everything in the other. You can even get a 2- or 4-button mouse and program it to do what you are used to using those buttons for on a PC until you've learned the shortcuts.

[Danger]

Haven't you ever used an iMac?
No... only Power Macs, LCII's, Quadras, and Duo Books.

but in OS X, you can have a bunch of applications all open at once and just use the task bar to bring whichever one you want to the top
Now you've got me confused. I do that in OS9, except just clicking on a window brings it to the front with no task bar involved. If it's hidden, Finder brings it forward with one click. If I want to copy or move something from, say, my games folder to my blueprints folder, I just click on it and drag it to 'Documents'. After it's been sitting on that for a couple of seconds, 'Documents' opens and I continue dragging to 'Art Files'. A couple of seconds on that opens it, and I continue dragging it to 'Blueprints' then drop it.

[JamesU]

Wow this has alot of pages :bugeye: , going for 149! :biggrin:

In OSX, you don't have to click on "Finder" for a drop-down menu of open applications anymore. Instead, they show up in a task bar that you can position at the bottom or side of the screen. And unlike that task bar that OS 9 uses that gets in the way a lot, you can set the one in OSX to hide until you mouse over where it should be (yes, I use mouse as a verb, hopefully the grammar police aren't watching). You can also set it so it magnifies whichever icon you're pointing at, so if you want to keep it small, you can still see what you're hovering over to decide what to click on (good feature for aging eyes).

I'm getting confused again. I responded to this about 10 minutes ago, and now it's not there. That's what happened to the response to yommama's question before, and I found it posted in the McDonalds thread. I wonder if this one went somewhere else too. :confused:

[Huckleberry]

No, this one is here. I saw the one in the McDonalds thread too and was wondering what it was doing there. Maybe you have 2 PF windows open and clicked on the wrong one somehow? I've done that before when reading long threads.

I actually considered that for a second until I remembered that a quote response always goes back to the same thread that you're in when you quote it.

Okay, good-night. I'll probably pack it in right soon too.

As long as you were using the quote button and not copy/paste methods, then yeah, you had to have been in the right thread when you posted.

I saw that post show up in the McDonald's thread after seeing the question show up here first, and was rather confused about it. I think someone else wound up with a case of double posts last night too (where the same reply shows up two or three times in a row with the same time stamp). The system should block that if it was the result of a twitchy finger pressing the "send" button. Must've been a server hiccup.

I consider what you guys do as 'sparring', not 'picking on'. The latter kind of infers that I'm defenseless, which I am in web matters. The coolest thing about the sparring is that people switch from ally to foe at random, depending upon the particular post that they respond to. You can't turn your back on anybody, but there's always somebody watching it for you. :biggrin: :uhh:

I recognize that it feels good when someone agrees with a post I've made, and it feels bad when someone argues with a post I've made. Then it goes to a whole other level. If the argument is personal then I'm very upset and I learn little. If the argument is fair and in the spirit of understanding then it feels even better than if they agreed with me.

You're just as bad as those UKish folks! I've never had a pork pie, but I do enjoy a good beef or chicken pot pie. I haven't had one of those in ages! That's something I don't know how to make myself, especially with that thick, rich brown gravy! Mmmm. Yes, I actually really like British pub food. Though, I haven't figured out why they call them mushy peas. :confused: They aren't mushy at all! They were quite tasty.

But, that's not the kind of pie I was craving...I was thinking dessert. A nice mixed berry pie would be just the thing! But, thanks, now you have me craving a second dinner AND dessert. I'm sitting here with a tub of vegetable cheese spread and crackers trying to stop my tummy from growling. :grumpy:

I've always wanted to try a "pasty". I think it's a New England thing - sort of like a mini-deep-fried meat pie? I've heard it's pronounced to rhyme with "nasty" rather than "hasty". Have you guys ever tried those?

It's a British thing (Welsh or Scottish I think). They're good! When I lived in MI, they had a Highland's Festival served them there...yummy! They weren't deep fried though. It's shaped like a half pie. I guess the idea was that the miners could take them to work with them, and at lunchtime, when their hands were filthy, they could hold them by the crust, eat the rest of the pasty and throw away the crust. What a shame, since the crust is the tastiest part!

My mother and her mom made them quite often.

My mom's recipe and instructions for Cornish Pasty (http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?p=564137&posted=1#post564137)

[Moonbear]

Ah, Cornish sounds right. I was trying to remember. And, duh, it wasn't a "Highland" festival, but a "Celtic" festival (it's been a while since I was there). Quite fun to watch things like caber tossing. Though, the competitors cheated and wore spandex shorts under their kilts! :grumpy: Then there was a sheep dog demonstration, and a bunch of sheep escaped into the woods, at which time the demo had to be postponed while the shepherder went and found his sheep (I was there with a Welsh guy who was a fellow post-doc at the time, and we contemplated if we should offer to help him find his sheep, then decided they really wouldn't get that far and we didn't really want to go running around in the woods...he found them and was able to get them back as soon as the crowd dispersed a bit).

But, yeah, that's why I wasn't sure exactly which part of the highlands pasties are from. (I did have fun for a while pronouncing the word to rhyme with hasty. :rofl:) My Welsh friend is easily embarrassed by such things. :devil:

Ever just had one of those days?

Today has been one. Started out this morning when my co-worker, male, aged 32, seemed in perfect health, keeled over and died. :frown: Makes you realize that you never know.

My work laptop is dead, and the replacement they gave me doesn't work.

Driving home in the pouring rain, it appears my brakes are almost gone

I got home and had a letter from AARP letting me know that I now qualify for membership.

I knocked over my bedside lamp three times tonight, breaking the bulb each time and now I am out of bulbs. (I wonder if AARP membership gives discounts on lightbulbs)

I broke my full length mirror.

All the recipes everyone posted in the recipe thread made me really hungry and all I have to eat is a can of tuna.

I had the most awful time trying to understand the customer service person who answered the phone last time I called to change my calling plan. I'm not even that bad at understanding accents, so I don't know how some people can understand her at all! I had to ask her to repeat everything about 3 times to understand. Of course it was only worsened that I was calling from my cell phone and the signal wasn't completely clear that day. Well, they'll find it's going to take a lot longer to get through each call if everyone has to ask them to repeat everything multiple times to understand them. (I wonder what will happen if my mom has to call...she's slightly hard of hearing and can't even understand a southern accent let alone a foreign accent!)

This is very much like what happened a few years ago, I had to spend three week in Atlanta for a Convention, so my next door lady, a few years younger than me and and had daughters my girls ages agreed to keep them. Everything seemed ok for the first days, then one night I was preparing for a presentation and my daughter called me at the hotel to let me know that they couldn't wake up the girls mother that morning, she had died during night. They were all alone in a house with a dead woman. :uhh:

I forgot the dog was in my bedroom and he peed on my favorite goosedown pillow. :cry: There is no saving it.

Ah, maybe your pillow can be saved. I have an Arctic (down) parka which I have had to wash periodically, without strong detergents - and then let air dry.

My wife uses something called Odoban - we have had mulitple cats and a dog for years - and Borax.

Anyway, I used my parka as a cat bed for our oldest cat up until she died. As she got weak, she used the parka sometimes since she lost bladder control. I don't plan on throwing it out - the parka is designed for North Slope Winters.

Not close friends, he was my partner for awhile (we work on teams) and I speak to him everyday. His wife is due to have labor induced on Friday,they already have a two year old. My boss spoke to her trying to keep her calm. We guess it could be a brain aneurysm. At least that's how I'd like to go, just not that soon. You're talking to him one minute, then he's dead.

Sorry about that news Evo. It always strikes a little too close to home when you hear about someone who has young kids and then is suddenly gone. Too scary to think about...

Actually, I had a post last night but I forgot what it was.

[BicycleTree]

Now I remember. I have frequently stood up on the bus when I didn't feel like sitting, but usually I held onto one of the steel poles. But for the past two bus rides back, I tried standing up without holding on for balance. About 20 min bus ride, with a number of turns and many accelerations/decelerations, plus bumpy roads and hills. It was interesting, and I succeeded both times without mishap. Actually, on the ride just now, there was one time when the bus had to brake hard when I wasn't paying attention. I took two or three steps automatically and did not fall. I attribute this balance mainly to the bicycle.

Certainly, but it has to be trained. Have you ever tried to stand up on an accelerating/decelerating or turning bus? It isn't easy at first. I remember at the beginning of this year when I had trouble keeping my balance just because I stood up and walked down the aisle as the bus was coming to a stop.

I wonder if tai chi masters would have difficulty standing up on a moving bus.

A bike develops balance for at least four reasons: 1. When you mount and dismount the bike, you must plant one foot securely and swing the other leg over the seat. 2. When you stand up on the pedals, you have to balance on each pedal. 3. When you steer, it's mostly a function of your balance. To steer accurately involves shifting your weight very precisely. 4. Your legs become much stronger.

Where has Artman been lately? He's up to something dubious, that's for sure.

[Huckleberry]

Today has been one. Started out this morning when my co-worker, male, aged 32, seemed in perfect health, keeled over and died. Makes you realize that you never know.How are you doing?

I'll be away this weekend (at least Saturday) for a family gathering. My aunt has been cremated and those of us that can make it are going to meet at her house.

I don't know what to say about your coworker. I feel for his wife and children. Would some sort of care package to his family be appropriate. Maybe even just some flowers and personal letters.

When I was in the navy there was a man that was in his late twenties. One night he died in the lounge and people found him in the morning. I think he had an aneurysm too. He didn't smoke, he exercised regularly and I doubt he was on drugs. Sometimes these things just happen.

You don't need to be able to ride a bike to keep your balance standing up. That knee-jerk reflex is actually part of the response that helps you keep balance while standing. I'm rather short, so when I'm stuck standing on buses or trains, I often have difficulty reaching the strap (or my arm REALLY hurts from stretching for it), so I learned to balance without holding on, and you already know how much I don't love biking. It's a different type of balance and different muscles you need.

Buses or trains? :rolleyes: Probably that means "trains."

A bus takes much tighter turns than a train does, and a train's acceleration is much less sporadic and sudden than a bus' acceleration. This was no ordinary reflex I'm talking about. I was actually looking out the window at the time, and the bus suddenly braked hard because the car in front of it turned into a parking lot.

You don't _have_ to ride a bike for balance, but it sure helps. A few weeks ago I surprised myself at how good my balance was, standing on a flat floor. I realized that I could stand on one foot and move the other foot all around me and do one-leg knee bends at the same time without wobbling at all. This was without having specifically practiced that, just spontaneously finding out I could do it.

The muscles are different between bus-balance and bike-riding but they are shared. Upper thigh muscles, for example, get very strong in bicycling and they are the same muscles you use to maintain a springy bent-knee posture against acceleration. Bicycling is a very whole-body workout.

I don't know what kind of klutzes you're used to hanging around with, but everything you mentioned is a perfectly ordinary reflex. I'm 49 years old with arthritis all over my body and a torn tendon in my knee, and none of that stuff is any kind of special occurrence for me. I've never fallen down, including when both feet went out from under me on ice (and that happens a lot when you're walking in Alberta).

I don't know what you mean about a 'close window' button. :confused:

[BicycleTree]

Yeah, you think it's easy? Slipping on ice is nothing compared to standing up when a bus is decelerating hard and unexpectedly. Bottom line is, if you haven't tried this specific activity, well, you haven't tried it.

I've tried it plenty. The way traffic and parking are in Calgary, I always take C-Train and buses. I was once also deliberately tripped by some idiot cowboy when I was bartending. Not only did I not fall down, but I only spilled one drink on a tray of 7 and managed to smack him in the head on the way back up. :approve:

Nope, with slipping on ice, you have no traction under your feet to regain balance quickly. Buses are easier than ice. And, BT, that's buses AND trains. I wrote buses OR trains because you only take one at a time. No need to second guess what I write.

[Danger]

Danger, hey! Can you do knee-bends like I say?
I can't do knee-bends at all. That torn tendon (which I've had since I was 16) limits flexation of my left leg to about 70% of normal.:grumpy:

Buses push and pull you unpredictably. Ice is much easier because you're never off balance anyway. If you're careful, you can run across ice pretty easily. Now, a tug of war on ice might be a different story.

Personally, I don't like it very much. I would go with something more like
Skin Puppets.

[cronxeh]

the hair on my back just rose when i heard 'skin puppets'

somehow first thing that came to my mind was 'skin puppies'.. then something about skinless puppies.. something about skin/flesh devouring bacteria.. uhh.. anyway

target audience is very small.. i mean not a whole lot of people really like trance music that much.. and we are not talking about some monotonous stuff - more of a progressive, upliftin vocal trance with hard beat and a psy/break here and there

most people who listen to trance are agnostic anyway

and yes Moonbee.. I liked the idea that i'd have "AI" used someplace..

..maybe even come up with a way to stick an 'IQ' there.. (or call my partner Intelligent Quitter ? .. or something

[Moonbear]

Sounds controvertial. That will be popular if your group is good and can find an audience. You're likely going to alienate many religious people with that name.
Somehow I don't think there are too many deeply religious people following trance music. I could be wrong, but it just doesn't strike me as compatible. On the other hand, it could be a tough name for people to say/pronounce readily. You want something that people don't trip over when saying aloud. I don't think a lot of people will get the controversial undertones though.

Personally, I don't like it very much. I would go with something more like
Skin Puppets.
Is that what you're calling it now? I thought we were happy calling it a turtle. :rolleyes:

Give me some more time, my Evo database isn't complete enough yet. :cry:

No time, (Evo's on the move again) Gotta go. Later.

Evil plan coming soon. Muhhaaaa and all that. :devil:

[Danger]

Evil plan coming soon. Muhhaaaa and all that. :devil:
I don't think that you really have an evil plan. I think that you just like to say 'Muhhaaaa' a lot.



Cronxeh, those things are cute enough, but they hurt my eyes.

[Artman]

I don't think that you really have an evil plan. I think that you just like to say 'Muhhaaaa' a lot.Danger! How could you think that I don't have an evil plan? :grumpy: Why I ooze evilness.

Hope I didn't upset you by using the grumpy smilie, but geez. Can't I be evil around here?



Cronxeh, those things are cute enough, but they hurt my eyes.They are cute little buggers though.

Lately, yahoo! slurp spiders seem to have left PF; instead mediapartners-google spiders have taken over.
Why is that? :confused:

[BicycleTree]

Actually, it's not hailing here. It's a beautiful spring day.

There are 2 things I do not like about the city. 1. There is background noise at every hour of the day (where my home is, it is virtually noiseless at night and in the morning; the blood pulsing in your ears is the loudest thing you can hear). 2. The air is not pure. This makes a tangible difference when bicycling.

On the other hand, I do kind of like the long, long 15 degree grade hill. Cycling down the various roads of this is quite an experience. The ground at the bottom of the hill appears to be directly in front of you. It's almost free-fall.

[BicycleTree]

And when I say 15 degrees, that's because I am comparing the line of the sidewalk with the presumably level lines of the house foundations. Looking down the hill it appears to be more like 45 degrees.

Huck...I just got back from having sushi dinner. Yummy! :approve: Went out with some friends to a place I hadn't discovered before, and the sushi was excellent! I take back what I've said about not finding good sushi in this city! :biggrin: Some tempura and miso soup as appetizers, sushi for dinner, and ice cream for dessert (there's an ice cream shop around the corner). Just thought I'd rub it in! :smile:

[Moonbear]

You only used the word "city" because I used the word "city."

I love sushi, but the worst sushi I've ever eaten was in Japan. This was the real thing, prepared by a master chef at the Hotel Okura, a 4 star hotel in Tokyo. I guess I am used to americanized sushi. :frown:

Yep, my friend came to my office and asked where we should go tonight (we already had plans to go out, but hadn't picked a restaurant). Since that picture of a giant sushi platter the other night, I've been seriously craving sushi. I didn't know there was a place closer than by the airport, so mentioned sushi but expected her to nix the idea as too far. As soon as I mentioned it, she said she was craving sushi too, and there's a place much closer! :tongue2: :biggrin:
The miso soup sounds pretty good but I'm not sure about the tempura. With shrimp?
It was an appetizer portion, so some assorted vegetables and two shrimp. I thought it might get messy since there were three of us splitting it. Then one of my friends said she didn't care that much for shrimp. :biggrin: She didn't have to offer twice!

I had some icecream yesterday. My favorite is a tie between Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, or Reese's Pieces. :tongue2:

Heh heh heh...neither of those compares to the ice cream shop we have here! (I'm so spoiled now, I'm going to have a hard time moving away from the good ice cream.) My favorite is raspberry chip, but I passed on that tonight for a turtle sundae with chocolate ice cream (caramel and pecan toppings). Must've been craving turtles too. :devil: :biggrin: Delicious!

:rofl: I don't know how Americanized the sushi and Thai food I eat is. I do know that most ethnic cuisines I've had are pretty strikingly different in flavor from the East coast to the midwest. It's all very bland in the midwest and much more flavorful when I order it back east. So, I don't know if it's a gradient from more authentic to more Americanized or just different forms of Americanized foods.

I remember years ago moving from Houston, TX to Washington DC and could NOT find a single Mexican restaurant, the ONLY Mexican food in the grocery store was a Banquet frozen Mexican tv dinner. :surprised My parents would send me monthly "care" packages of food so I wouldn't die.

It came uncut and I could not cut it. My date (native Italian) saw my distress and tried to cut it, he couldn't either. Then we started hacking and hammering at it. We finally managed to break it into pieces, but then couldn't chew it. I occasionally remind him of that night. :biggrin:

Perhaps they noticed I was American when I ordered and made it "special". :grumpy: I think the crust contained cement.

Maybe in Boston there are a few but I kinda doubt that too. Having lived in Arizona I think I was spoiled with all the authentic food.

There is authentic central and southern American food here on the east coast. You have to cook it yourself though. There are spanish and portugeuse and varios asian corner food stores that sell some pretty interesting stuff.

It was much easier to eat with a knife and fork because the crust was so flexible and fairly thin. Maybe the chef tried to make American pizza for the American?

If you head into north Jersey, the Union City or West New York areas, you can find good restaurants with some South American food, mostly Columbian. And of course you can find authentic anything in NYC if you know where to look, but despite everything else around, Mexican is tough to find on the East Coast.

The closest Mexican food to me is Taco Bell. That doesn't even count. There's an On the Border not too far, and they are alright, but it's not even close to authentic. I didn't even realize how much I missed it until I started talking about it. I want a chimichanga now!

Sounds like my homemade pizza! And I thought I just hadn't perfected the crust recipe yet, but maybe I've just been making a more authentic Italian pizza than I realized! I think there is a trick to getting the crust just right. You have to cook it just the right amount of time or something like that. I'll have to ask my brother sometime. He makes really good homemade pizza.

[BicycleTree]

I think that everyone should post only right around the hour, every hour. So we'd each have our designated minute, and we'd all post, and everyone but the last person to post would get an instant reply. Wouldn't that be nice?

[BicycleTree]

Hmm, if pizza had metal bicycle spokes in it, you could pick up the slices easier... they'd be stiffer since each would have a spoke or two in it. Then you'd eat it off the spokes like shish kebab.

[Huckleberry]

Is he talking to himself again?Well, I'm reading his posts, but they don't seem to be directed at anything in particular so I don't really know what to say or feel any compulsion to respond. I think of it as interludes of Deep Thought by Bicycle Tree.

[JamesU]

Just read his last 2 posts, he's talking to himself... :frown:

The bicycle spoke pizza shish kebab idea is great, you have to admit.

The only trouble would be that the pizzeria would be sued by people who poked their eyes out through careless eating.

Have you ever tried Greek pizza? Oh, that's delicious. :tongue2:
The sauce is sweeter and I like the way it goes with the tomato. There used to be a great Greek pizza place right nearby me but they have new ownership now and the quality just isn't the same. That has happened to so many mom and pop joints that I used to love so much when I was younger. :grumpy:

I wonder if that's what they make around here. I don't like the local pizza because the sauce is all too sweet instead of spicey! :yuck: We do have a large-ish Greek community around here, so maybe that's where it comes from. Of course, it's hard to even find a mom & pop pizza place around here. Everything has been taken over by these chains that serve awful pizza. I don't know why people would buy from a chain instead of a mom & pop place for pizza.

On the Border is cr@p. I hate to tell you this but chimichangas aren't Mexican, they're american, several claims to the first one, but probably from Arizona. Sorry. http://www.azcentral.com/home/food/mexico/articles/0427chimichange27-CR.html

There is quite a difference between real mexican food and what passes for mexican (really southwestern) food in most of America. Things like pozole or turkey legs with red mole or snapper escabeche are excellent examples of mexican food and like any other cuisine it varies considerably from region to region fish; seafood on the coast to beef, pork or goat inland. It's not like the cheese smothered, deep-fried gut bombs you find regularly around here. Look up a chef named Rick Bayless, he's quite well known for his traditional mexican fare.

Also, the best pizzas at home are made on a stone in the hottest oven you can crank out, I go for 500 fahrenheit and let it warm up at least 1/2 hour. Thin crust, not pre-cooked, with not too much toppings. You can also do them outside on a grill, which gives you that wood-fired kinda flavor.

[Moonbear]

I've got to run a foot sweat assay on some mice in the next few days, plus slice some brains for an in situ hybridization histochemistry method I'm trying to develop.

That's a new one for me...a foot sweat assay? I didn't know mice had sweaty feet! Well, learn something new every day.

The rest of my week sounds pretty similar. I've been working on a cDNA probe for in situ, and if I can get that to work, I'll be combining that with immunocytochemistry. In between doing that, I've got a couple brains to slice as well, and some other immunocytochemistry to run. Oh, and there are always plenty of cells to count (hence the need for coffee; when I get my own lab, the microscope room is going to have to have its own entrance from the corridor so it's not part of the area zoned for radioactive material...I really want to be able to keep a cup of coffee nearby when counting lots of cells!) Let's see, what else? Oh, need to finish up revisions on the manuscript that was accepted, and finish up the last figure I need for another manuscript. The stuff I was working on as pilot data for a grant application hasn't panned out, so that's one less thing that needs to be done. I'm probably forgetting something else. Oh, this isn't really the day's list, it's more the week's list.

Oh, and need to go interrogate some grad students to find out why I didn't see any of them when I was in the lab this weekend. :devil: Classes are over, they should all be in the lab full time now!

:rofl: It does make people nervous when you tell them you have to go back to the lab to slice up some brains.

We have some human brain tissue in the lab too, and I always get the inevitable question of "where did it come from?" I like to give answers like it came from annoying students. Or, I tell them I had my assistant Igor run over to the morgue one night... (It's all from brain banks where people arrange to donate post-mortem for research.)

[DocToxyn]

That's a new one for me...a foot sweat assay? I didn't know mice had sweaty feet! Well, learn something new every day.

its a really cool assay, anesthetize with avertin, hit them with pilocarpine, a parasympathetic agonist, and watch the sweat pour (its quantified by counting pores formed in a dental amalgum you put on their feet). They also drool like crazy....nurse...suction!

...I really want to be able to keep a cup of coffee nearby when counting lots of cells!)

Maybe you should try one of those hydration packs that athletes use. You can covertly smuggle it around under your lab coat and pipe that fresh hot coffee right to the bite valve on your lapel. Plus those things hold like 2 liters :bugeye:. Of course you'd need to come up with something for the inevitable bathroom breaks, but I'll leave that up to you. :biggrin:

Cool! What do you use that assay to assess? (If that's too much detail about your experiment to post here, send me a PM.) That approach also sounds like a good way to measure salivary corticosterone! Well, except the anesthesia would probably screw that all up. :rofl:

[Moonbear]

I'm not sure how the US medical community does things. Up here, the concensus among doctors is that you should never put anything smaller than your elbow into your ear.
And does anybody actually follow that advice?

:rofl: LOL! Hamp-sters!!! :biggrin:

Not really, but I've seen a couple of dislocations suffered by people who tried too hard.

:rofl: LOL! Hamp-sters!!! :biggrin:
Thanks. I figured there'd be one literate member around somewhere. :devil:

At least by pulling that muscle trying to lick my elbow, I learned not to try this one. :rofl:

No problem! :biggrin:

Quit trying to get your limbs more flexible and work on stretching your tongue. It could help you out with your clinic duties as well.

No problem! :biggrin:
I can envision Hypatia stalling out on that post for half an hour while she tries to figure out what the joke is. :biggrin: (Love you, Hypatia, but your spelling is scary. :tongue: )

I was sort of wondering if Huck would realize the mistake himself. I think it's a regional thing, because I grew up around people who pronounced the name of the critters hamPster as well, so spell it that way too (there's still a subtle "p" in my pronunciation of the word too). Hookt on fonix werkt for me. :biggrin:

I've heard a couple of people say it that way, but never seen them spell it like that. It's like those twits down in your country who pronounce 'aunt' like 'ont'. Who the hell are they trying to impress? It's 'ant', dammit. (Although I like Andy Griffith's 'Aint'.)

I don't really care how subtle your peeing is, unless you're in the same room with me.

What's odd is I use both pronunciations, "ont" and "ant" depending on which aunt I'm referring to. "ont" is a New England pronunciation, and my family came from Maine and Massachusettes, but I grew up in NJ, where that variant dies out, so heard both and used both. I remember my mom laughing at me when I wrote a letter to one of my "Ants," and that's how I spelled it. (Yeah, one of the required "thank-you" letters mom made me write for every gift I got.)

Your head must be a lot narrower than it looks in your picture. Aren't Q-Tips like 4" long?


After multiple Q-tips are lost, they will eventually line up and begin to exit the other side. :bugeye: It a tricky maneuver, but not unlike cleaning a gun barrel.

[Evo]

:rofl: LOL! Hamp-sters!!! :biggrin:I spell it hampster all the time, then correct it.

[Artman]

They better not find any of Danger's or Artman's genes! :tongue:Ut oh, now my palms are sweating. :uhh:

[Artman]

Wow, I had heard that New Zealand has several times the amount of sheep that it has human population. You know an awful lot about where to find sheep, Huckleberry. :uhh: Yes sir, quite a lot. :uhh:

Are your palms beginning to sweat? :uhh: :tongue:

[Artman]

Yep, so many sheep there, he won't even need his velcro mittens. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

So many sheep so little time. :rofl:

[Artman]

At least by pulling that muscle trying to lick my elbow, I learned not to try this one. :rofl:Yeah, I've learned it's just no use to try and lick some of my own body parts myself. :uhh: You know...like elbows. :redface:

[BicycleTree]

I have always pronounced "aunt" ahnt, not ont or ant.

[Danger]

"ont" is a New England pronunciation
Okay... if it's really a dialect and not an affectation, I apologize to New Englanders. I always saw it as some fake-Harvardesque snootiness, like those stupid little shirts with alligators on them.

I'll defer to your professional medical opinion on this. I figured that they'd just fall into the bottom of her skull and start piling up until there was enough cotton in there for mice to nest in.

I spell it hampster all the time, then correct it.
Wouldn't it be more efficient to just spell it correctly the first time? :confused:

[Moonbear]

Ut oh, now my palms are sweating. :uhh:
DocToxyn, stop injecting Artman with your drugs! He doesn't have mouse paws! :grumpy:

[Moonbear]

Well, for the snooty Hahvahd boys who didn't grow up in New England, it probably is an affectation. If they're pronouncing it "ahhhhhnt" it's probably an affectation.

Though, I guess I'd rather have a dialect people consider snooty rather than one that makes them think I'm a dumb hick. :uhh:

[Danger]

That's what I was talking about.

I have a suggestion or two... :tongue2:

The sweaty-footed little buggers.
That's why they like nice absorbent stuff to live in; it keeps them fresh and dry and they don't slip all over the place when they walk in their sleep.

[Artman]

That's why they like nice absorbent stuff to live in; it keeps them fresh and dry and they don't slip all over the place when they walk in their sleep.That's nice, and even with all those Q-Tips in there, there is plenty of open space for them to spread out and just wander around. :smile:


(Uh, MIH isn't around is she?) :uhh:

[Danger]

(Uh, MIH isn't around is she?) :uhh:
I have a feeling that we'll be most emphatically notified when she shows up. (Luckily, I'll be at work by then.)

[Artman]

I have a feeling that we'll be most emphatically notified when she shows up. (Luckily, I'll be at work by then.)It will probably be embarrassing being beaten up by a good looking woman...


doesn't sound too bad though does it? :tongue2:

HEY!!!
My ears aren't so full of q-tips that I couldn't hear you guys!! :grumpy: :mad:

get out of here! :yuck:

That was close. I better

What do you mean you're still here?! The sheep are going to be very maaaaaad that you've been keeping them waiting. :tongue2:

[Evo]

FRAP!!!!

I just got my replacement laptop and some of my stuff is missing and it better be replaced. :devil: Grrrrr Not to mention I have to get used to a different computer. :grumpy:

Oh, and a helpful hint.... do NOT pour hot coffee with amaretto creamer into your laptop. Something about liquid and electricity... Ungrateful computer, it was GOOD COFFEE!!! :mad:

[The Bob]

We appreciate it was good coffee.

Electricity just doesn't have the capacity to enjoy it. I fear to say that electricity will not get charged up about it. It would rather Drain Coal than take coffee.

Uh, yeah, I find that computers are far too unappreciative of coffee. Just because they don't need coffee to get started in the morning doesn't mean they have to cough and sputter and get all stubborn if I try to feed them some. :grumpy: I might not need coffee either if someone could just plug me in to recharge me. :wink:

[Artman]

I might not need coffee either if someone could just plug me in to recharge me. :wink:Sure sounds better than sheep. :tongue2: I mean, Whatever are you talking about, Moonbear?


MIH around? :uhh:

Gotta run. Time to head home. Yeah!

[Moonbear]

Sure sounds better than sheep. :tongue2: I mean, Whatever are you talking about, Moonbear?
Well, I was referring to my laptop -- plug it in and it gets recharged. o:)

[Huckleberry]

Hey, now this is more like it.

I spell one word wrong and Special Agent Danger from the Canadian Spelling Police jumps all over it. :rofl: If I knew it was that easy, I would be spelling words wrong all the time. Look around, I do it all the time. Sometimes even on purpose to create another meaning or draw attention to a particular part of a sentence. Sometimes I'm just too lazy to correct myself.

Artman, I don't know much about sheep, but if you hang out around New Zealanders and Australians for any length of time then you'll hear sheep jokes flying all over the place.

Was that The Bob?

[SOS2008]

Was that The Bob?Yep, another hit and run. Speaking of which... :cool:

[Huckleberry]

It's always funny when someone who almost never posts here just pops in and makes a quick post. I'm so used to seeing the same names in this thread that It surprises me when I see a new one. I forget sometimes that other people are actually reading all this great nonsense.

Yeah you, you know who you are! :biggrin:
