That's good, let everyone think they have a chance. I'll be back as soon as work let's me stay home for a few weeks at a time and reclaim my ribbon. Although I did just find something that could keep me off for a little while. Every single scientific American magazine since 1993 in a .pdf file. searchable, bookmarked. it is pretty amazing.

Glad to know you're still around. Didn't want to be stuck with Danger for the rest of my forum life. :rolleyes:

And as for this .pdf file, you dare mention it here and not graciously provide us with a link? please??

We've taken up a collection and bribed your employer. You can look forward to a luxurious 2-year assignment in Budapest.:-p

Damn! I suppose that if I don't rescind the bribe, you won't provide a link...

I got the file, two actually, from a site called demonoid.com. If you know anything about BitTorrent files this is how I got it. It took quite a while to download but eventually I got it all.

lol, I just reread my last post. the files are about 900 Megs and it took me most of the day. It was extremely slow for a high speed connection, but 900 megs would have taken me about a month on my dial up. some people are just never satisfied.

What about Gale? She always makes me laugh. I can actually hear what she's saying by the way she writes. And Pillow Head! C'mon, how can anyone beat that? :smile:

zooby is clever and funny too. There are several layers of humor in his jokes. He can spin a good yarn too. :biggrin:

hmm... i vote Huck has good taste... cause zooby is like my favorite! ...and i think I'm sort of cool too...

At any rate, isn't it early to be thinking about ribbons? isn't that for later on in the year?

That's a cute smilie. :approve:

Tribdog has stiff competition this year. Danger is good, and as soon as my shipment of chocolate and king crab legs arrive, or he starts some serious brown nosing, he will make the list. :-p

Hey, what's wrong with Danger? I like Danger because he's funny in his own right. And he's just great to set up for jokes, which is even better.
Who wears velcro gloves on the sheep farm?
Danger
Who leads the neighborhood watch for aviator?
Danger
Who is Artman's best friend?
Danger
He's universal.

Tribdog's been slacking off lately, I haven't read about a good explosion or fire related disaster in months. :zzz:

Yep, keep checking the news, and no mountains have collapsed in AZ, no mushroom clouds sighted from his neck of the woods...he better start posting around here in doubletime if he thinks he's going to have a shot at that pink ribbon again this year! :-p

Danger is a clever guy. Who else would come up with the line velcro gloves on the sheep farm? :smile:

We enjoy raggin' on one another. He takes a joke as well as he dishes them out.

Well, let's see... I have high-speed ADSL, but a 1Gb hard drive without a CD burner doesn't leave a lot of room. My high-capacity HD is in an 85mHz 7100/66 linked through AppleTalk. It would take at least a couple of days to transfer the stuff.
Thanks for the link, though. The bribe is rescinded. Welcome back.

Get used to it, Junior. I ain't going anywhere.

You too.

Thanks, but that ticking you hear is actually just my pacemaker acting up.

Evo said:

I've told you a dozen times that I lost your address.

Evo said:

I might be nearsighted, but I'm not going to make that mistake again.

Huckleberry said:

I've found my niche.

I am a fine disease that will only grow more insidious with time.

Thanks, but credit where credit is due. That was Brewnog.

Not much choice with the likes of you guys around. It's either that or run for my life.

I used to think that, but I'm rapidly changing my opinion. Never cared much for Franz, though.

ANYways, speaking of trib, I'm also fond of him as well... though since his return he still hasn't really been around too much... its like, half-missing him... cause he's back... but only like, half-back...

That's not universal, that's just Huckleberryversal. Just because he's the center of your world doesn't mean we have to like him any more.

A half-dozen or so loyal friends is sufficient. Blue people weird me out anyhow. :eek:

I thought he switched to pumps after that incident with the manhole cover. :confused:

I'm a girl... and I'm pretty sure i don't know the difference either...

Why does danger know so much about women's footwear?

:smile: 'sperience. As those years of yours go by...franz will know what an 800 thread count pillow sham is too (you wait and see, heh-heh).

My lack of tolerance for nonsense and horse manure (figuratively speaking) forbids me from learning these things.

Some not so good. Once you've danced with a couple of clumsy women in spike heels, you learn to check what they're wearing first. :eek:

Go to bed, Gale. You have a test tomorrow. You need sleep!

I've been up since 8 this morning studying... I still don't have a clue about magnetism... I'm screwed... there's no point even waking up for my exam tomorrow... AUGH! I've left my room once all day... gah gah arg ah!
 
  • #59
I think you should at least go try it! What do you have to lose? I think your prof was very nice to make you the offer that he did. Anyway, I'm pulling for you whatever you decide.

Sleep! At this hour, you're not going to cram much more in, and if you're rested, you have a much better chance of remembering the stuff you do know, as well as having a clear head to have a shot at figuring out some of the ones you didn't fully study for. Eat a good breakfast, take a few deep breaths before the exam starts, and try your best to relax. Good luck!
