Thrakazog Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Re: A Thread for Random Musings So we've decided to have the christening meal at our house instead of at a restaurant, in order to save some money (I'm still unemployed). Anyway, in a group of 40 people there will be a vegetarian and a very close friend of mine who keeps kosher. So as you can imagine, figuring out a menu, even a buffet-style menu, is proving fun. I think I have it figured out, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Re: A Thread for Random Musings One last week in the quarter. I'm going to finish all the material in the syllabus, maybe with a day to spare. Lots of time to answer questions and do example problems. I should make up my exam soon. A pity I can't show 'em Maxwell's Equations in all their glory instead of just talking around them, but they'd go for the tar and feathers the instant I tried to explain what the "del" operator is.

Thrakazog Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Re: A Thread for Random Musings I love how, in the half hour after fdbaury was banned and the latest abortion thread closed, there were fully eight of us on the "reading the thread" list. For a brief moment I equated us with the typical crowd that gathers and watches with morbid fascination when someone gets hit by a car, and I laughed. I'm still laughing.

Lord Mhoram Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Re: A Thread for Random Musings For the first time on my years here on the HERO boards, I was actively participating in a thread that was closed... it was actully closed between me starting a reply and hitting the submit reply button. That was rather strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Re: A Thread for Random Musings Bleah. A publisher sent me a free copy of a physics textbook, presumably for me to look over and consider adopting for my classes. Little do they know I have no part in the text adoption process here. Consequently, this leaves me free to observe that the only thing more boring than a physics textbook you have to read is a physics textbook you don't have to read. archermoo and ghost-angel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Gillen Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Re: A Thread for Random Musings There is a certain difference between "respect" and "authority."

zornwil Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Re: A Thread for Random Musings Some anime show has just come up on Adult Swim (bear in mind I'm in Mass. now so the time is 3:30), and I really can't get past those bizarrely exaggerated facial/emotive gestures. It's like watching Shatner on crack. I don't mean that it's wrong or bad - I mean literally that I can't get past it to appreciate whatever is purportedly there to appreciate.

zornwil Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Re: A Thread for Random Musings Oh, now, this is rich! I just came across a paid ad, and one woman is talking, she has a low-cut shirt and good cleavage. Then they turn the camera to the other woman in this faux conversation, and she's got even greater cleavage! Ha! This is for "the Greatest Vitamin in the World" It's that guy, Don somebody-or-other, I've seen him before, he doesn't look good though these days, he's put on weight and looks like he's aged a lot, not really in a good way. Although to be fair he's been around a while. But still, I don't think he looks too healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
