I'm confused by the new fred. Does port come in boxes?

 

[Woogie Lee]

Thank you Marvin . Some comment of yours in this thread made me try pot, and I love you for it.

Old college buddy is in town and just invited me to the Creed concert on Friday. Are they like Nickelback??

Hi people wanting to rent my houses: I'm listing on a English-language site, and, at risk of sounding like a Republican, if you contact me and speak in Spanish, but I respond in English and you are clearly also a first-language English speaker, then let's go with that, OK?

Me gustaría alquilar su casa. En mi tiempo libre tengo peleas de gallos en la sala de estar. ¿Cuántos pies cuadrados es? ¿Y cuál es su política sobre los burros en la casa? Finalmente lo que llevas puesto ahora mismo?

SO glad I translated this.

Yes.

The whole world, it would seem, has conceded the band is terrible: They travel in only the most cringeworthy cliche, they are pompous to what would be the point of comedy--if only they were in on the joke--and they embody all that is dead, idealess and cowardly in present-day rock 'n' roll.It's almost cruel, then, to single them out--the band is nothing more than a quartet of ridiculously clad and coiffed ducks in a barrel. Why pick on them?Creed--and their torpid, halftime-playing, self-congratulatory type--are a cancer on the most beautiful thing God ever gave us in the 20th century: rock 'n' roll.

That's nearly 10 years old, but I imagine it still applies.

Been to a couple of national SAA conventions and those folks know how to party. I always thought shovelbums like me partied hard in the field. These guys take it to a whole other level.

shovelbum?

 

[Bogart]

I have had my iPhone for 2 years now. Have spent the last week playing with an iPad2 that was collecting dust at my parents.

I am really close to pledging my full allegiance to Apple and pray at the altar of Steve Jobs.

Or just go out and spend too much for a Macbook Pro.

They were Nickleback before Nickleback was Nickleback /tonedeafhipster

 

[Marvin]

Pretty sure I would have one less old college buddy if he invited me to a Creed concert. I'd rather have someone invite me to an Amway ambush. I'd rather have Shuke invite me to help him try on swim trunks.

 

[JaxBill]

Speaking of concerts, per her request, I'm taking my wife to see Daughtry on Sunday.

Oofff

shovelbum?

Society for American ArchaeologyA shovelbum is essentially an archaeologist who does work in the field from contracts through Cultural Resource Management. I have an Anthropology degree and am a recovering shovelbum.

 

[Frostillicus]

Just saw this question posted on reddit"Assuming cooperation, how many cats would it take to pull a 200lb human on a dogsled?"

75

The "best" answer given"200 lbs x 25% drag coefficiency @ 15 mph divided by * number of cats. Assuming the cats weigh 12 lbs apiece and each cat is capable of pulling 7.5 lbs on a surface with a 25% drag coefficiency . the number of cats as represented by "*" equals 26.6666667 cats required."

Umm..

Sounded good to me. I didn't bother to check his/her work.

I think Planck's constant should be in there.

The guy that played safety for the Bears next to Gary Fencik?

No, that was Rydberg.

I thought it was Avogadro?

 

[Marvin]

Will there be a time when things like this don't make you feel slightly gooshy inside?

Good choice running back to the house, where he presumably has a change of underwear.

The guy made a mistake by running away. That only entices bears to chase you.

i've got my daughter the entire weekend, so my drinking is going to be limited that just means that i've got a lot of making up to do tonight though!

[Bogart]

I have my kids this weekend.

Yet there is a family Birthday party Saturday afternoon, on their mom's side of the family, so I have to drop them back off at her house after lunch and pick them back up after they return.

And before lunch on Saturday? Picking up garbage on the side of the road with other Cub Scouts.

Yes, I will be drinking tonight. GMTAN shots later on?

Wow, that's pretty good. If Creed were a movie, it would be Gigli.

Steve Jobs was a colossal asssss to all people and could be ruthless and cold...but he also advocates that each and every one of us try LSD at some point and attributes his "vision" to the use of acid. I'm down wif that. In a world where powerful and important people are typically too afraid to address such matters, let alone admit to them, I admire that greatly. Still only have an old 4 GB iPod with no plans of ever upgrading to anything more, but big fan of the acid endorsement. ETA: I'm going to use spell check from now on. Furley's thread was hurtful.

I do disagree that Jobs was a ####, I'm just saying that if you put me into solitary confinement with nothing but bread, water, Apple products and WiFi, I probably don't complain much.The iPad has replaced the TV and the laptop for my nightly content consumption.
