I'd swap you for the repeating verse of "Pinky and the Brain" which is stuck in my head right now.

*snicker*

...nuclear lighthouses("What could possibly go wrong?)...

...

...if I hadn't of seen it I never would've believed it...

[Reinholdt]

They're Pinky and the Brain.
Yes Pinky and the Brain.
One is a genius, the other's insane.
They're labatory mice.
Their genes have been spliced.
They're Dinky, they're Pinky and the Brain Brain Brain Brain Brain Brain.

Before each night is done, their plan will be unfurled.
By the dawning of the sun, they'll take over the world.
They're Pinky and the Brain
Yes Pinky and the Brain.
Their twilight campaign,
is easy to explain.
To prove their mousey worth
They'll overthrow the earth.
They're Dinky, They're PInky and the Brain Brain Brain Brain Brain Brain Brain Brain Narf!

That's what I've got from memory.

Bah! I only read the last 5 posts or so.
I don't frequent this place in the least.

[Cristo Meyers]

I do frequent this place and still only read back about 5 posts...

I just found it amusing that we came right back to quoting the theme song so quickly.

[Player_Zero]

I haven't found much of the discrete maths we've been doing very hard. It's calculus and induction that trip me up.

If you ever need any help then I shall gather the sum total of the world's mathematical ability in one place in order to help. For the limit of that function is me.

Did you dream of buying socks at Tescos? That could be prophetic.

It may indeed. But I would also have to find Tescos for this to happen.

You lazy buggers. Missing even one post is the worst crime. You might miss one of my simply sublime witicisms for one.

[Fredthefighter]

Well, usually they give us the videos in class and we make notes during the video, unfortunately that means that bad timing can mean that you miss something important. But it's great when you get to watch things like "Blackadder goes forth" for History Coursework.

'Tis a risk I'm willing to take, I'm afraid. For I must live on the bleeding edge. What'd I miss? Was it something important? Funny? The One True Meaning of Life? Just asking the questions gets my adrenaline pumping...

Ah, the best adrenaline rush I've ever had was on the Hulk Rollercoaster at Universal Islands of Adventures. It kicked the crap out of any of the rollercoasters I've been on in good od Blighty.

Heh, spend a while with someone swinging a wooden sword at your forehead. That's a rush.

Damn I miss Uni sometimes...

My neck hurts incredibly. I don't know what I did in P.E., but if it stays still too long, it hurts; if it moves in a particular direction, it hurts; if I think about my neck, it hurts; if I, it hurts, it hurts, it HURTS!

[Cristo Meyers]

Strain? Sprain? Compacted vertebre?

Maybe some ice?

[Sneak]

Probably some sort of mild temporary torticollis.

A couple of years ago I just got it (it really hurt to move my head to the side) randomly in the middle of a dodgeball game. It didn't really seem like it was caused by anything physical (I hadn't been hit or anything), and it went away after a few days. But it was really annoying and terrible feeling.

Hope ya feel better soon.

[Fredthefighter]

I've pulled a few muscles doing boxing.
Hook punches at full swing while your holding the pad can jar your shoulder a bit.
Sometimes my neck hurts when I've "Lied on it a bit funny", as my mother would say.
Indeed, it is quite painful

[Coplantor]

OK, so coid hada guy with an arrow n his eye and now a monky holding a banana...

You canot tell me that there's nothing sexual there...

About muscles... I keep fit thanks to the marvels of home cooking, 100% home made spaghetti require a lot of stamina, dmn pasta...

[Fredthefighter]

I think the closest thing I've had to home cooking is my mother making homemade burgers with vegetables in them (onions and carrots). They are actually very nice (I don't usually eat onions and carrots).

[Coplantor]

I love onions... my homemade burgers include onions, garlic, oregano, a little flour for the consistency, and sometimes some soy sauce to add an extra flavour. Curry is also good.

[CutePoison]

I cooked a sausage casserole, with potatoes and mashed carrot/swede, while Mr. Poison sat on his fat arse playing Viking on the X360.

To be fair, he bought the stuff, and I started making it because I was hungry. But you know that way when guys go, half-heartedly, "do you need any help?" and you go, "well, this needs peeled and these need chopped, but I suppose..." "Ah, ok then." *resumes game*



Was damn tasty though.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Self-Home-Made pancakes ruuule!

Seriously. They are delicoussses!

[mangosta71]

Cooking good meat is all about the spices. For nearly anything, I'll put in a bit of garlic powder and onion powder (can't stand the texture of actual onions), and a touch of curry. From there it depends on what it's for, but if I'm cooking something Italian oregano is a must, southwestern requires crushed red and cayenne pepper, etc. The basics like a little salt and black pepper make a big difference in things like steak even if you don't use anything else.

[Coplantor]

Well, CP, you said it, at least it was tasty. And mangosta you are right about spices, that's the secret for good meat, heck, even a little salt makes a great diffrence. Have you ever had steak with spaghetti? When the spaghetti absorbs the taste of the meat is ahhhhhh, delicious.

[Jack Squat]

Hey, another discussion on cooking, lets see how many more I can get into this week

I do a combination of following recipes and making it up as I go...which reminds me, I've got to update my recipe in the Cooking thread to include a sauce for the chicken cordon bleu that I came up with. Either way, about spicing, the balance is everything. I always just kinda eyeball it, but it's pretty obvious that too much salt/garlic/other makes something taste worse than if you didn't put any in. All my family ever does with grilled salmon is put a little salt or pepper on (if that) and grill it. Tastes better than most of the restraunts stuff around here because it's not drenched in some spice or sauce. I'd like to get some hickory planks sometime, but it's really not needed.

I also managed to snag 4 cookbooks for $4 each, including shipping. After I thumb through them and decide what in there's worth it, I might pick up the rest of them.

[Cristo Meyers]

I try cooking anything much more complicated than a plate of pasta and I'll end up with my kitchen being declared a Class 5 Biohazard. 'Course, I'm usually only cooking for myself, so...

Someday I'll get better...right after I finish that book, then finish the rewrite of the new idea for the book.

...clearly, your man is not properly whipped yet.

[Coplantor]

Question here regarding pasta... anyone else here does his own pasat? I mean, do you mix the flour and the eggs b yourself or do you buy pasta half done and then just cook it?

I just buy it...not that I do pasta much. I will make my own pasta when I get some dishes under my belt that need it, and when I've got enough spare time to do it. I always thought pasta was just flour and water...

[Cristo Meyers]

Usually I just buy it premade. My mother used to make her own all the time though, I just never have the time it seems.

Nope, it's made with eggs, you can add some water though.

RUN! HEAD FOR THE HILLS! Cobra's cooking will KILL US ALL!

I'm kidding. I've never had Cobra's cooking, though I have heard stories. My own cooking is, to be honest, actually not bad. What with the three or four cooking classes I ended up taking in high school and all...

I never really bother cooking though, because I hate the clean up so very much.

1. is this related to the lost vikings in anyway shape or form?
2. That's why you give them explicit instructions. And don't let them have any if they defy your imperious will.

Coplants, I don't think I've met anyone who has made egg noodles themselves. Is pretty cool idea though... I have, however, heard horror stories from college about experiments with spaghetti and ketchup that ended up with noodles that started expanding once they hit the stomach, seeming to create matter out of nothing and violating the laws of physics almost as much as they violated the laws of good taste.

And anyway, what's so sexual about Harold Godwinson getting arrowed in the eye?
