[Guava Jelly]

1. Do you ever get tired of being so dang cool?

i gotta know

[bicentennial_baby]

2. yeah, sometimes...

:P

i mean, it's hard work, like * says...hard work indeed...


:P

;)

[Guava Jelly]

3. but you pull it off so well and you never seem to break a sweat!

Impressive.
:)

[bicentennial_baby]

5. "Never let them see you sweat"

Isn't that how the commercial goes? :rofl:

:D

[everythingsxen]

4. Have you ever seen Fight Club or read the book or both?

:shrug:

[bicentennial_baby]

6. Nope, none of the above

I can't say why, just haven't.

But then, you're talking to someone who has not seen the *vast* majority of popular movies produced since 1984...and I'm 29! :o

:hi:

[everythingsxen]

14. You are the same age as me...

You should watch more stuff and read more stuff!

I highly recommend Fight Club (book or movie) though the movie is better IMO.

[NNadir]

7. Explain Newton's method for solution of equations.

[bicentennial_baby]

10. duh...i dunno

maybe this will help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki

:shrug:

[Spaceman Spiff]

28. Hey, NNadir!

Have you read "The Physics of Superheros"? Just finished it a couple of weeks ago. Gotta say that I had to read everything several times because it was just flying over my head. Shoulda taken physics in HS or college I guess. Anyway, I did learn Newton's three laws of motion and the three laws of thermo dynamics so I guess it wasn't a total loss.

[NNadir]

58. I haven't read it. But it sounds interesting, inasmuch as it...

familiarizes people with the laws of physics.

Cool! Thanks for telling me about it.

[Ptah]

8. Have you ever been west of the Missippi River?

If yes, did you enjoy it?

If not, do you want to see the west?

:shrug:

[bicentennial_baby]

12. No, I haven't

Alaska
S.F.
Yellowstone
Austin
Other stuff :)

[Ptah]

19. All that you mentioned are worth making the trip.

I favor Northwestern Montana, particularly
Glacier National Park.

Ptah's Friday thread


:hi:

[swag]

9. Is there anything on cable TV tonight?

I'm exhausted, in a hotel in a boring town, and ready to watch some cable TV.

I don't know anything about what's on cable TV.

[bicentennial_baby]

15. Mrs. Sniffa is watching "Splendor in the Grass"

Sniffa is sleeping to the Sox game...hence my being at the computer...I'm dying of boredom and ennui over here Swag! Come to Beantown! Amuse meeeeee! :bounce:

It's a desperate plea, I know... x(

[swag]

21. Oh, thanks for the reminder.

I did see Warren Beatty's face briefly while channel-flipping. I loved him in the elusive Mickey One. But now I've landed on some financial pornography that diverts me.

I will come to Boston again some time, thanks for the invite. When I do, I shall yodel in your direction.

[bicentennial_baby]

22. Ooooh Financial pornography? Do tell!

I am an Econ major after all! :bounce:

[swag]

23. Oh, Consuelo Mack has some show called "Wealthtrack" on PBS

and she's talking to Richard Bernstein from Merrill, David Lereah of National Association of Realtors, and Robert Kessler from Kessler Investment Advisors.

They're talking about things like cash & equivalents outperforming US stocks and Treasury notes and bonds for the past eight years, treating housing as an asset class, and if the Fed is near the end of tightening.

I like to read about economics, but I'm a dilettante. Still reading, though.

Any recommendations? Next windfall I have, I might order Krugman's expensive textbooks on microeconomics and macroeconomics. They have gotten good marks from students and other readers.

[bicentennial_baby]

25. I'm all about the textbooks...

The best source of quality info, imho... :thumbsup:

Econ gets me hot, no doubt :D

[liontamer]

11. how's the family?

you guys rarely post these days.

[bicentennial_baby]

16. The family is excellent!

Thank you for asking! Sniffa is sleeping on the couch (looong day) and the Mrs. is watching a movie on cable. A happy family, having a chill night. :)

[liontamer]

29. good to hear!

[Jamastiene]

13. If I may...

I have never tried to set anyone up in my life, but this is irresistable. There is another thread asking how to get hardened (rock hard) mashed potatoes out of a clogged garbage disposal. I offered my guess at what might work. Maybe you can make a suggestion. I'll be sure to relay the information.

[bicentennial_baby]

18. I'd say...

Scalding hot water, vinegar, and possibly Simple Green. :)

but, I like your suggestion too. :)

[Guava Jelly]

17. Ok i got a question !!

Do you like your egg sandwiches
On Toast w/butter
on toast w/ mayo
on untoasted bread w/mayo
on untoasted bread w/butter
any of the above plus a slice of cheese.??
cooked well or slightly runny
Millions could die depending on your answer :)

I myself prefer a 2 egg , untoasted wheat bread w/a lake of mayo and a slice of cheese..

[bicentennial_baby]

20. Ok, here's how i roll...

1 egg, sunny side up, runny yolk, seasoned while cooking w/ s&p
2 slices hearty white bread, toasted
1 slice cheese, preferably American, melted over the egg as it finishes cooking.

practically a nightly tradition with me, these days :9

[Guava Jelly]

24. ok looks like you are a worthy adversary. next question

What is your favorite flavor of top Raman??

[bicentennial_baby]

26. ugh.... "Oriental"

Although I *hate* the flavor name... :)

[sarge43]

27. Have you ever tried to solve Fermat's last theorem? n/t

[bicentennial_baby]

33. If you were trapped in a burning building that had been set on fire

by a really evil person who wanted to kill you and everyone else inside because he didn't like the songs you sang, and a SECOND evil person saved you all, and that second evil person was enemies with the first evil person and wanted to defeat them but also wanted to kill anyone who didn't think he SHOULD kill the first evil person, would you be indebted to help Evil Person 2?

[bicentennial_baby]

34. Yes, at least temporarily...

S/he did save my ass, but once I'm free and clear, I'm loyal to noone, esp. if I'm dealing with evil people who burn people alive...Yep.

:D

He ate my African Dwarf Frogs...after a time. I may venture out tommorrow to get another tank just for him, and a new stock of frogs for the bigger tank. I loved them so! He's a big meanie, ol Slobo x(

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

42. We have a bunch of bettas tanks in the house and a 100g African Cichlid

tank.

If you like frogs, I posted some frog photos from this afternoon in the photography forum.

[bicentennial_baby]

43. Oh I love them!!

:bounce:

I was admiring your Leopard Geckoes earlier...I had to leave my Apu and Babu with my mom when I moved. She loves them dearly though :)

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

46. It's been like the amphibian invasion around my house this week.

Tree frogs fucking all around the pool at night. Leopard frogs hopping too and fro. Toads popping up in random places like my leopard frog photo and the garage.

We had a 6-point buck in the yard today. I wasn't able to get close enough for a photo though. He bolted the second he saw me. It would have been beautiful.

It's like a fucking wildlife refuge around here.

[bicentennial_baby]

49. Awwww, you're lucky

I've recently moved from deep country to the city...and also with someone who's allergic to everything that has fur...sigh. :)

[RetroLounge]
