    This is a Poll [metathread]

    Points out that another poster has already complained about the lack of poll options, and then further points out that no poll is perfect, and that you go to poll with the options you have, not the options you wish you had. (Makes subtle humorous reference to a popular political person and thus...

    Lesser, my dear. Says it right in the stats. And you call yourself one of my lords! :p And the ability to post quickly does not make one a greater deity. Or at least I hope not. I dread to think what all those 'frist post' people on a lot of messageboards do with their godhood! ;)

    Awesome. Simply awesome. :D I prefer to do it inside the barrow, though. Or up a tree. Or in the gazebo. ;)

    You were closer with the latter. George Underwood Edwards Institute of Technology, or GUE Tech, was the setting for the old text based Infocom game "The Lurking Horror." They may have called something that in "Zork: Grand Inquistor", but it was nothing like the one in the old game, and it was...

    This is a Poll [metathread]

    Points out that both Wystan and the thread starter made errors, and the mod powers should be given to someone who hasn't. Like me. Although, I voted that I liked the poll because of the typo, so......

    And that is why I chose GUE Tech, instead. (10 points to anyone who gets the reference. ;) ) Rystil - Congrats on 10,000 in 6 months. Please send me a copy of the neural interface you must be using. :p

    Favorite covers.

    Thanks! You reminded me to mention my latest favorite cover - "The Man Who Sold The World" by Jordis Unga (Rockstar INXS). :)

    Death by Caffine

    Actually, the Coke is still faster by measure - those Arizona bottles hold a good bit more than a Coke can. ;)

    Death by Caffine

    Probably less than it used to take - I've let my tolerance slip since I stopped drinking carbonated beverages, which I had to do after I got out of the hospital. They kept making me feel like I was having a heart attack. Now the only caffeine I get is in tea. The site says it would take 580...

    Do you color your hair?

    My wife has auburn red hair naturally, and occasionally uses a plum hair coloring, which results in the only natural-looking pink hair I've ever seen. At least, it looks that way to me - it keeps variance and texture, unlike the solid one-tone clown-wig look I've seen some people give their...

    Favorite covers.

    You might be talking about the one by Holly McNarland. I like it, too, but I wish they had mixed it with the vocals just a wee bit stronger - sometimes she gets drowned out a little. Yes. Tommy James and The Shondells did the original, if memory serves. :)

    America's Stonehenge???

    Depending on which part of the 18th century, that's still colonial, so its all good. :)

    America's Stonehenge???

    I was worried that this thread was referring to something that was brought to the attention of my pagan discussion group a while back. As featured on Crank.net, under Apocalypse. Got a "Crankiest" rating. :D The "America's Stonehenge" you're referring to seems like a much more reliable...

    I Am Officially Certifiable

    I passed my A+ certification tests today. (For any who do not know, that is a certification for computer techs.) So once again, it has officially been proven that I am certifiable. ;)

    Where ya been? Tales of strange countries and hot chicks

    I imagined this as a Hee-Haw cornfield exchange. Try not to do that again. (Baaaaaaad. ;) )

    Where ya been? Tales of strange countries and hot chicks

    Consider that I was engaged at 15, and after that fell through, half a year later I started seeing another girl, got engaged to her when I was 16, married at 17, and she's the one I'm still married to. I had heard the phrase "one night stand", but I wanted no truck with it. ;) In Missouri if...

    Where ya been? Tales of strange countries and hot chicks

    Okay, so not exactly an exotic locale, but I went to Branson, Missouri when I was 14. If you aren't familiar, Branson is a beautiful area in the Ozark mountains. Lots and lots of miniature golf, go cart joints, ampitheaters - Ray Price, Roy Clark, Boxcar Willie, Yo Yo Ma, and on and on, and...

    So, some friends of ours have learned about "Planet X" in school...

    There's all sorts of arguments about these semantical things - and as long as you have accurate data on the bodies in question: mass, rotation, etc., they don't really mean anything. I, personally, subscribe to the school of thought that says that school children should be taught that the...

    For those that drink, what's your poison of choice?

    Without a doubt, it would be Tup: coffee with caramel, chocolate, and peppermint schnapps.

    Favorite Pizza Topping

    And I suppose you missed the part where Bane laid waste to the other guys trying to catch the garter? Always so harsh, that Bane. ;) And when that sneaky Cyric replaced the brand of coffee we planned to serve at the reception with dark, sparkling Folgers? :] It all turned out alright, though...
