Re: The Last Word In this context, it must be.

Re: The Last Word True. It's all bombast.

Re: The Last Word The two are comparable but subtly different. One is supposed to never end, in principle; the other is prevented from ending by ego and bombast.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Next time I go to Anacortes, I have to visit the ferry terminal and take a picture. The little eatery there is a cheesecake place (dessert, not pictures) and bills itself on its sign as "Home of the Wedgie".

Re: Answers & Questions Q: What's more fun than an erotic furry LARP, and smells a lot sweeter to boot? A: I'm sorry, I left my chainsaw in my other pair of pants.

Re: The Last Word Mind you, I think the WAG thread is the fourth such thread dedicated to its theme, while AFAIK this thread is the only such on its theme.

Re: The Last Word Still, it It's all Of course, I guess I'll stay away from that hot button.

Re: Complicate the Person Above Keyes_bill constructed a working death-ray blaster from dry spaghetti. Trouble is, the so-constructed blaster is good for only one shot, with a maximum range on fourteen centimeters, it can disintegrate a maximum mass of about 10 grams, and it takes 1200 kg of spaghetti. Back to the drawing board it was.

Re: Musings on Random Musings Yes, the SAT can be taken more than once, but all your scores are reported when you send them to an institution, so they see the history.

Re: The Last Word Just about all stereotypes contain more than a grain of truth. Often that grain is historical, but there's truth in there somewhere.

Re: The Last Word Yes.

Re: The Last Word Funny, I thought that was a reason you wanted your tech staff to be all-male hard-core nerds, taking advantage of the fact that nothing would ever go down on them.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings The phrase "Evasive Plants", seen on another web forum, inspires ideas about herbaceous ninjas.

Re: Answers & Questions Q: Hey, all I said was, 'I don't have to run faster than the bear, just you,' and you kneecapped me?!? What gives? A: You never asked what the bear wanted.

Re: The Last Word Hmm. That could be a NSFW thing. Hope you weren't being listened to.

Re: The Last Word Had a Piece of Momentary Parental Terror yesterday. I'm in the living room, reading the newspaper. My kids are in their rooms, playing (jointly) a game on their Nintendo DSs, "Animal Crossing". Part of the activities in that game are catching a variety of insects and fish, which either get sold for in-game money, or donated to the in-game museum for some other benefit. They've had this game all summer, catching things, boasting about them, etc; I've been told about ocean sunfish, banded dragonflies, blue marlins, etc. Suddenly, from my son's room, came an exclamation that brought me to a full-stop parental-horror brain-lock seizure. I didn't say anything immediately, and it took me a couple of minutes to parse out the context, and then put together what had actually been said: "SWEET! 'n AROWANA!" (Yes, he'd caught one or two of those before in the game.) My wife laughed at me after I described the incident later.

Re: The Last Word You can change it, but it shows up only in your profile now.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings With kittens in a room, no feather is safe.

Re: The Last Word Sigh, I was less than 24 hours from claiming another point, and the threadkiller thread provoked a response here. Oh well.

Re: NGD Scenes from a Hat "Giant booger on a stick! Giant booger on a stick! GO BANANA SLUGS!!" NT: Exhibits you will only encounter in a Weird Science Museum.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings On one hand, I now understand where all my change has been going. On the other hand, how in the world did I go as long as I did without realizing I've got a hole in my pocket I can put my thumb through?
