[LordShryku]

That's funny...goldbug's a pretty good likeness to his avatar too.....

[Merve]

I liked better not knowing what anybody looked like....:D

[LordShryku]

That's why I hide behind my welding mask

Uhhhh, that's kinda gross. You didn't bathe until you reached HIGH SCHOOL!?!? Ewwwwww. :D

....... just make sure you bathe before the meetup tomorrow. Don't want to scare away all the meetup newbz. :)

[Merve]

before then he showered :D

//Merve slaps self for making dumb pun.

[goldbug]

Heh, it's even dumber when you notice what he wrote: 'Having to take a shower for the first time...'
:D

j/k

(I meant 'bathe' in the transitive, fyi :) )

:confused:
with thumb, like Johnny Five in Short Circuit ?

and for how much time?

[BuzzLY]

between thumb and middle finger -- you snap your fingers, and the penny goes flying. I can flick a penny about 50 feet, and I used to be extremely accurate (back when I had nothing better to do).

[Merve]

great to see people care about showering...:D

ah! it's long jump, not high jump... :D

We play it also against a wall. Win who is most near (and get all penny...) ... :o but is a game of other time, today little human creatures don't play in the street, but at home with a psx o xbox... :(

[dalecosp]

Nice content as usual, BuzzLY.

OK, now I know what the critter in Bad76's avatar is doing ... penny flicking indeed. :D

Weedpacket, your jokes are so subtle ... was the picture really there when you posted the link, or has BuzzLY's photo album been showing a MySQL error in debug mode for 5 days now??

[BuzzLY]

Dammit... thanks for pointing that out. Not sure what's wrong. Looks like there might be something wrong with that table for some reason.

Ok... ran a repair on it. The number of rows dropped from 480 to 478... I guess a couple of people will be missing pics :)

[dalecosp]

Well, no biggie, I guess.

Didja see my "Queen Elizabeth" post in the EL? My httpd was down 6-8 hours, and the only real content in the post was a pic .... so Merve says, "what, has she got 1000 posts?" --- Where's that "Doh!" thread?

Have a good one...

Lets us know it !!! :D Ooh, these Americanisms.....sorry, il mio buon amico, what I meant was "have a good day||afternoon||night||morning\\etc.", not "I have a good Doh! story..." :(

But thanks for the pointer to the thread. Not that I don't know how to use the search feature; it was a rhetorical question.

I'll see if I can think of something to regale the readers of that thread with, if possible, but I've too much to do today at the moment...

[Merve]

I should have taken a hint from the word 'millenial'. :D No biggie dalecosp

[BuzzLY]

Oh, yes, by all means, PLEASE go off topic on MY thread. Ya hosers!

maybe Buzzly forgot to use '--enable-thread-safety' when configuring the thread :)

Sorry for the "old" PHP joke :)

No, no, I like it.....
Maybe he can still get it working with an ini_set("thread.safety_handler", TRUE); :D

Honestly, does he think we'll talk about penny-flicking in here? :D:D

He should've used --with-anti-ot :D:D:D

[Moonglobe]

ya well you should check out my configure line (http://cultofbobb.ca/php.php) :D

[LordShryku]

Moonglobe, *very* funny. I plan to either bookmark it, or fetch a copy. But (my NT sysadmin brother will ask) did you misspell 'proprietary', 'corporation', and 'cracking' on purpose? :eek: lol nah, i just whipped it up in an hour... i'd been planing on making one since i first saw piers's :D

i'd give you the code, but it's pretty ugly :D PM me if you want it......

[Merve]

Yeah, I'm gonna do the contest this weekend, when I have the time. I've got something very special planned. Does anybody know a place where I can find the exact negative colour of any colour, just by inputting the hex code? You don't have to answer, I'll just STFW.

[Merve]

Thanks Weed; I found a good webpage as well.

[Moonglobe]

Ak! weed's post got deleted! Weed.........;)

"Ya hosers" was meant to soften the harshness, and come off as smiling while I said that. However, I was fairly serious when I said it -- hence, no smilies. If you want to take a thread off-topic in the lounge, fine. But I think it's a bit rude to do so in the forum specifically designated to introduce the board moderators.

If I had the power to split this thread and move part of it to the EL, I would have quite a few posts ago. I certainly don't want to come off as whiney, but seriously, if you want to shoot the bull about a bunch of off topic nonsense, that's what the EL was created for.

So, Merve, is that clear enough? I am not a hypocrite. You want a smiley? How about this one: :mad: :mad: :mad:

** Merve disclaimer: the lack of smilies in this post is intentional. It is not meant to be a joke, sarcastic, or tongue-in-cheek. Please take at face value

[Moonglobe]

well, seeing as there are NO mods in this forum, i guess jstarkey is the only one who can do that....

[BuzzLY]

No big deal... I really am not that concerned about it. Merve's post about the smilies just got under my space ranger suit for some reason... I'm feeling much better now :D

[LordShryku]

.......and I learned a while back....that not a good thing.....

Merve, learn from my mistakes wontcha??

:p

[Merve]

space ranger suit?

[dalecosp]

Originally posted by Merve
space ranger suit? Um, yeah; like a normal space suit, except for the jetpack, wings, thruster boots, laser wristbands, etc., etc...

I hear that the ventilation system is a little overworked because of the extra heat from those "add-ons"... seems to make sense in this context.

[BuzzLY]

Um... that's not where the extra heat is coming from... :rolleyes: :cool:

I don't need a 'Merve disclaimer'. That's just plain biting and mean. I don't like it. I got your point and this just makes me look absolutely stupid. I am intelligent enough to understand the tone of your post. I'm sorry for posting OT crap here, but this 'disclaimer' just made me mad.

[stolzyboy]

well, sometime is it just hard to get people emotions when reading something, you can always read something over and over and get a different feeling out of it, that is why there are those wonderful little emoticons so you can show your emotions...

too bad there's no evil-eye face. :)

[BuzzLY]

If I injured your pride, I apologize. I was just miffed that people hijacked the thread, then basically ignored me when I commented on it. Didn't mean to take it out on you -- your post was just the last straw, that's all.

Let's just say we're even, and go from here.

:)

[Merve]

s'ok. How come all the mods seem to have pets? Is this another psychological debate?

[BuzzLY]

It's so we have something to kick around when the board members piss us off :D

[Moonglobe]

BuzzLY, you are soooooooooo mean. :D

[Merve]

[BuzzLY]

Well... I need something to kick. Are you volunteering? :D

[dalecosp]

There ya go, BuzzLY ... kick the falcon. Everybody else in the NFC does it :D

[Merve]

Kick the cheese :D
