Thufir's Thupremely Thatithfying Thecond Random Banter With a Lithp #170

[Rawhide]

Do not mock the fundamentals of my craft, good sir!

I present to you, exhibit 1: Deep. Fried. Coke.

[MageOfCakes]

I present to you, exhibit 1: Deep. Fried. Coke.

Jealous?

@v Goolge it, it's apparently a funnel cake.

[Tragic_Comedian]

I present to you, exhibit 1: Deep. Fried. Coke.

That sounds disgusting. And how could you manage to fry a liquid, anyhow...

[Nix Nihila]

Apparently it's coke flavored dough.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Why must you silly Americans put batter on everything?

Nah, that's the Scots.

Apparently it's coke flavored dough.

It's delicious.

[Nix Nihila]

It's delicious.

I don't know that I could stomach it. Although I have a rather low tolerance for really sweet things. But it probably would taste good. I'd just feel ill afterwards.

[Zeb The Troll]

*mumbles about how it isn't technically a goatee as the mustache part and the beard part haven't grown back together yet*

I feel your pain. I'm 40 years old and my beard is easily an inch and a half long and my moustache doesn't connect to it. I fake it by growing my moustache ends long enough to overlap the beard at the corner of my mouth.

[Amiel]

I didn't know Hitler was Australian, or that Sydney was not next to the sea contrary to pictures, or for that matter that New Zealand was a city in Australia, or that Canberra was not the capital.

You learn something every day.

History, and geography books, need to be re-written to reflect the correct state of affairs.

I present to you, exhibit 1: Deep. Fried. Coke.

And there's also bacon-flavoured coke; deep fried ice-cream, bacon ice-cream, and deep-fried lawn chairs. Deep-fried lawn chairs are the most nutritious.

[The Succubus]

Why must you silly Americans put batter on everything?

In fairness, my seabound friend, the English do it as well.Where I used to live there was a fish and chip shop that battered confectionary on demand. I recall mentioning in another thread recently that Deep Fried Mars Bars were a one way ticket to Delicioustown Hell. There was some debate about the issue.

[Heliomance]

By sides I meant the space between the beard part of my goatee and my sideburns. I still have fairly long side burns.



Basically yeah.

*mumbles about how it isn't technically a goatee as the mustache part and the beard part haven't grown back together yet*

Nothing wrong with a Van Dyke. They can be rather natty.

*has a Van Dyke*

[Coidzor]

I seem to recall Van Dykes being rather popular with writers, after noticing when Aaron Allston came to do a book signing that there had been a disproportionate number of authors doing book signings at that locale who had van dykes.

I recall mentioning in another thread recently that Deep Fried Mars Bars were a one way ticket to Delicioustown Hell.

...So that's what Leonidas had a hankering for in when he was addressing his assembled men.

The movie now takes on a completely different context in light of that.

[_Zoot_]

I have to ask, and it isn't worth starting a new thread:

Does one of our ads up the top mean that no one else is advertising there? Or does it just mean that we are out bidding them?

(And yes, I realise that many of you may not see the same banner add that I do, the one I see is The OotS gang holding a banner that says "Advertise here!")

I hope that this is the right place and way to ask this question.

[Feytalist]

Heh. I like that banner.

[Little Brother]

Stupid history homework. Listen to a podcast and take notes. Not "Probably should take notes," but "take notes." Even though the number of things I've actually learned in that class can be counted on one hand. I don't even take notes IN CLASS!

If you're being graded on your level of note taking, I really must questio what class you are in.

As it is, taking notes does kinda help, if only so you can have an easier time remembering stuff that you may forget. It should not be forced, however.

[MoonCat]

<sighs> Not a good morning. I dunno why, I just feel bleh.

[LaZodiac]

*hugs* Feel better MoonCat.

[Fredaintdead]

<sighs> Not a good morning. I dunno why, I just feel bleh.

*hugs*
Not well myself either.
*hugs everyone*
Want to feel better now please.

[Teddy]

That sounds totally awesome. I don't think I would compete that well though. The most advanced thing I know in Java is for loops. My class isn't even up to writing classes yet. Not sure how much I would be able to do with just that.

You... probably would have some trouble understanding even the starter packages (I did to some minor extent), but I guess it wouldn't be impossible for as long as you understand objects and methods (because of the two completely different approaches to object oriented programming teaching, I'm not sure whether you've gone through this yet or not).

IRN:
I actually managed to get things to work yesterday. I first had to discover that I shouldn't have put the bot files and the tools directory in different directories, and fix that, whereafter I had to update the command files to reflect the change.

Thereafter, I had to dig deep down into the python library files to find out what caused two different bugs that crashed my bot (it turns out that the basic code doesn't support the character 'Ö', so I had to move everything to another hard drive to avoid having to save it in the folder with my own name on it).

Following that, I managed to proceede quite a bit into the tutorial before my bot started to act completely different from the one in the tutorial, and began to occillate in its movements, so I had to redownload the starter set and update the files to make it work properly again.

Now I'm trying to invent a hierarchical group system to organise my ants under in order to optimise scouting, food gathering and especially combat. It's a bit tricky to design...

*sigh*
That's so stupid.

I had a Study Technique lecture a month or two back where we got the assignment to, using a special note-taking style (linear note-taking style 2.0 to be precise), take notes during any lecture of our choice, and then process them, generating at least two pages of processed notes to hand in. I already knew that that style really didn't fit with my personal learning style, so instead it became an exercise in trying to keep up with what the lecturer was talking about as well as writing down pretty much everything that was written in his PowerPoint. Needless to say, I found the assignment to be a pretty bothersome waste of time that I still had to write...

I don't care if its digital, this still sounds amazing. Robots! So cool *drools*

[Thufir]

Atlantean... Has a goatee?
*Jealous*

You want a goatee, grow one. It's that simple!

Why must you silly Americans put batter on everything?

No, -

Nah, that's the Scots.

Yeah, this.

In fairness, my seabound friend, the English do it as well.

No we don't! Don't you be mixing us up with those damn Scots!

[Ranger Mattos]

Heh. I only shaved the sides. My goatee is going fine thank you.

Ah.

ION: Stupidity. It surrounds me. I really hate my high school.

I completely agree with you. I find it ironic that a place of learning is the place I encounter stupidity the most.

I try, I really do. It's when peoples' petty reactions try and belittle your fun, like marching band and Quidditch, that I get pissed off. Four years of being picked on for not being good at sports and still liking things like Legend of Zelda does not do much for your opinion of certain people.

Sorry, didn't mean to rant. Thank you for being the optimistic one.

Don't worry, you can laugh in their faces when you're Captain of the US Quidditch Team (after levitation gets invented, of course).

Apparently it's coke flavored dough.

IIRC, they just freeze the coke and then batter it.

Yeah. I would be farther ahead, but I goof off in class. Well, everyone does, I suppose. I'm actually the farthest ahead in class.

It sounds fun once you get the bugs worked out.

ION: Yay! No school today and tomorrow!

[Supagoof]

I'm pregnant.

Or more specifically - my wife is pregnant. Which means I will be a dad soon.

Thought I'd share, since I just posted it over in SMBG, and realize not everyone I want to know reads every post I write.

Still, I am supa-excited! Now that we have passed the standard "waiting phase to make sure everything is safe" for this, I had to share.

[LaZodiac]

Congragulations! Good luck with it all

Congratulations Supagoof! You're going to be one heck of an excellent dad.

Baby! Hooray for babies!

You want a goatee, grow one. It's that simple!

I'm trying.

@Mattos: I don't appreciate that irony.
I don't know why I decided not to quote Mattos...

@Eon: Nor do I.

[MoonCat]

Guys! I feel better! YAY!!! Now, for homework....
