Friday Chatterbox

[Blue Velvet]

A random thread for completely random stuff.

This thread will be wastelanded at the end of the day, so spam it with silliness if you like. Once it's wastelanded, any posts within will not go towards personal post totals.

What's on your mind?

[davidwarren]

I am ready to leave work already!

[valdore]

I'm on the horns of an enema. If bunny to the power of banana equals bunny to the power of el chippo times bunny to the power of banana plus el chippo times pi, then what is bunny to the power of banana times bunny to the power of el chippo times pi? This has left me befuddled since waking up at 6:30 this morning, the mind vacillating betwixt and between a solemn contentment and a manic malaise.

[Blue Velvet]

I am ready to leave work already!

What job do you do?

[heehee]

I can't wait until beer time. T minus 7 hours. :(

[Blue Velvet]

I can't wait until beer time. T minus 7 hours. :(

American beer? ;)

I'm now off the drink for a few days at the moment. It's not helping matters. Weird sleeping patterns.

[tobefirst]

Very tired this morning. Caught the midnight showing of 007. My body can't run on 3.5 hours of sleep like it used to. I'm getting old. (:

[Blue Velvet]

Caught the midnight showing of 007.

Is it any good? I've read mixed reviews.

[themoonisdown09]

I'm ready for work to be over because I'm going to a party at a friends house and I'm bringing a case of Samuel Adams Winter Lager to set the cool weather mood.

[Tilpots]

I"ve been up for less than 3 hours and I'm ready to go back to bed. TGIF.

[iJohnHenry]

I think I'll buzz my noggin today.

After 4 weeks on the bench, I'm getting back into the game on Monday. :cool:

And, from my working-days, Friday without beer is almost unconscionable. :eek:

[tobefirst]

Is it any good? I've read mixed reviews.

Not as good as Casino Royale. I loved that one. The plot just didn't develop as well as it did in that one.

What are you upto, today, BV?

I think we're all a bunch of alcoholics here at MacRumors. All the talk of beer here lately... making me thirsty!

[Blue Velvet]

Struggling and procrastinating. Got to go out later, get some fresh air. Need to also review some work I need to get organised. Got to do some grocery shopping, pay some bills.

[Tilpots]

Was it the action sequences or the plot that didn't live up to Casino Royale. I want to see it this weekend, but not if I'm going to be dissapointed. THe trailer makes it look great... Stupid Trailers!:p

I have no idea what to do with that, but I had to say... I'm both confused and impressed.:confused:

I am very much looking forward to the weekend. Nothing, absolutely nothing, to do tomorrow. Going to sleep in and veg out, uh, here.:o

I wish I could go see 007, but I'm sure it would be too much for my 6 yr old, and that is one that hubbie won't babysit for.:(

I am losing track of what is in the theater. I blame the big screen HD TV with the awesome sound system. :p

[mrwizardno2]

couldn't agree more with the post about beign ready to leave work. unfortunately work will be following me around until monday - I'm on-call this week.

And they sure love to make use of it at 2am. ugh.

[Blue Velvet]

I need to vent. Again.

Apple are not making anything at the moment I want. They're gimping things left, right and centre. Reduce the capacity of the iPod Classics, put glossy displays in everything, this weird new and costly ACD, futzing around with the Mini, ditching firewire, introducing proprietary connectors. Just like the first iPhone's indented headphone port that required a custom plug.

It's getting effing stupid. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dib2-HBsF08) :mad:

I wish you much luck with that. Doesn't sound terribly fun, I'm afraid. I'm sorry about the struggles.

The action scenes were good (or better than good), but the plot just didn't carry its weight. Maybe, if I see it again, I'll have a different opinion about that, but I'm sticking with Casino Royale being better than this one.

[OutThere]

The great friday night conflict...I have to be up at 7am tomorrow, but the the club is ever so tempting...

The only thing I want from Apple right now is a better, more equipped Apple TV and it doesn't sound like this is gonna happen, maybe not even in January.:( Getting fed up with their attempts to make me drink the Kool-Aid with every product they release.

Thanks for the info. For me, if the plot's not there, the action (no matter how well done) is diminished.

[apsterling]

I really don't care about History.
I realize I should.

But I don't.

That, The Red Badge of Courage, imaginary numbers, and whatever else I have a test on today.

[themoonisdown09]

Did anybody see Saw 5? I was going to see that on Halloween night, but I went to Six Flags for Fright Fest instead.

[macworkerbee]

Just counting down the end of the day and the beginning of the weekend.

I'm celebrating with a Moe's Burrito and a bucket of beer. COME ON WEEKEND!

[themoonisdown09]

I'm celebrating with a Moe's Burrito and a bucket of beer. COME ON WEEKEND!

I love that place. I get the Joey Bag of Doughnuts with chicken, black beans, lots of cheese and salsa! I'm hoping that we're talking about the same Moe's here.

Coors light baby! :D

[heehee]

I was supposed to make dinner for my girlfriend's coworkers last night, but it got cancelled. We have a ton of food left, it'll probably last us for 2 more days. Good thing is I have lunch today. :)

[davidwarren]

WELCOME TO MOES! I like Moes as well. I always notice a strange discrepancy in their pricing structure related to the different burritos and the price of adding guacamole individually, but can't remember the details right now....

[themoonisdown09]

It's actually been probably 6 months since the last time I ate there so I don't remember the prices. When ours first opened, I was there maybe once a week and I never had to place my order. I would walk up and say "get me the usual" and it was made. I felt so special then, now it's not like that anymore...

[Blue Velvet]

next time you go look at the difference between the triple lindy and the joey bag of doughnuts and getting the cheaper one with guac added. There is, at least in Louisville, a strange price difference.

[themoonisdown09]

Are you saying that it costs more to get the cheaper one and add guac than it is to get the more expensive one with guac already on it?

I don't know if they had it in Louisville, but here in Chattanooga, they had a "Cup of Fat" on the menu for $9.99. After going there for months, I finally asked the cashier what the hell a "Cup of Fat" was. He told me that it is just up there to be funny, but you can actually order a "Cup of Fat" for $9.99 and it will ring up on your ticket. They took it off the menu about a year ago though.

[Surely]

I made my coffee a little too strong this morning. Bitter.....

The advantage of being at home right now is that I get to watch my wife work (she works from home). She's so cute when she's fully focused on work..... :)

What should I make for lunch?

What should we have for dinner?

I'm thinking of trying to find one of the beers on the American Beer Thread today to drink with/after my dinner.

Looks like I'm going to need to kick on the A/C later today- it's going to be 85º this afternoon! I sure don't miss the high of 56º that Toronto is experiencing today!

I'm looking forward to going to the gym later. It's a shoulder and biceps day with a little bit of cardio mixed in (even though I ran 2.5 miles last night).

To jailbreak or not to jailbreak? That is the question......

[heehee]

I had ribs, mushrooms and salad left over from last night. I'm pretty full, but I still want to go out and get a bowl of soup. :p:D

[ezzie]

^ it's cold and dreary here...i want soup!!! :(

[Blue Velvet]

It's better than 4, if that tells you anything.

Really?? Apart from the opening "shocker" scene, i thought it was pretty boring, I loved the bit with the shot of that guys arm cut in half, so obviously fake, made me lol.

Very tired this morning. Caught the midnight showing of 007. My body can't run on 3.5 hours of sleep like it used to. I'm getting old. (:

Wait until you have kids, your body will figure it out again...:D

Same thing happened to me, but I blame the kids...:D

[Randomness]

I made my coffee a little too strong this morning. Bitter.....


There is no such thing as coffee that's too strong. I'm limited by the capacity of my filter tray.

Maybe that's why no-one else will drink my coffee?

Of course I get weird looks from people who make "strong" coffee when they offer some and I take it black, of course they always ask "are you sure?"

Weekend should be fun. It's a shame it's not here yet.

[Unspeaked]

I didn't think it was very good, but 4 was my least favorite in the series.

I think they just tried too hard with the whole timeline twist in that one.

This one was way more a CSI type story than any of the previous ones - probably had as much dialogue as the previous four combined.

I guess we'll have to wait until next year to see where things go from here...

[macworkerbee]

I love that place. I get the Joey Bag of Doughnuts with chicken, black beans, lots of cheese and salsa! I'm hoping that we're talking about the same Moe's here.

Oh yeah, the same Moe's. Joey Bag of Donuts is awesome. I get the double meet and don't eat the next day. It's excellent.

My favorite Saw is either the first one or the 3rd one.

[Raid]

How's this for random....
So today I'm in downtown Toronto (china town / Baldwin St.) and I see a full dress uniform Mountie walking towards me. In my 33 years in Canada I have never seen one (outside of some sort of parade) in full red riding gear complete with the wide brimed hat.

I would have snapped a pic, but he looked like he was in a hurry.

Ahhh ok, I get ya, yeah it was nice to go out, but had I of known the story prior, I wouldn't have bothered to see it, plenty of other (better) films on atm.

[Blue Velvet]

...he looked like he was in a hurry.

Of course he was. The Mounties always get their man! :D

[Eidorian]

It finally stopped raining all week and a few of my job prospects look good. I hope to make $20/hr this weekend doing yard work though. I like the exercise.

[EricNau]

Today's already been a long day, and it's not even noon. Very much looking forward to the weekend.

I get off of work at 5pm... so I have another 2 hours and 40 minutes. After that, it's time for me to drink the sweet nectar from nature... Sam Adams beer.

Last month, standing in line for an ATM at a Royal Bank of Canada in Richmond Hill (northern suburb of Toronto) on Centre Street (same plaza as the Centre Street Deli) west of Bathurst. I wonder if this guy was going commando under the kilt? :eek:

No, it was something I'd seen elsewhere and for a while, I had been thinking of starting it as a Friday fun thing to do for community ice-breaking.

We'll do it every Friday to let off steam if people like having a relatively unmoderated space to just chat. Each of them will be wastelanded sometime after midnight PST when it's Saturday morning here in the UK.

I don't think so... at least they haven't mentioned anything to me. They just took my department manager back to ask him questions. They said that they will be talking to each department. As long as there's no money laundering going on I'll be ok... right?

[Blue Velvet]

I'll be ok... right?

OK, this just in (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gout). That was in times gone by, due to lead additives to "sweeten" the final product.

Salute!!

They should just kill it and then we'd save forty lives a year. Vicious little bugger.

1. If you are attacked by an anaconda, do not run. The snake is faster than you are.

2. Lie flat on the ground. Put your arms tight against your sides, your legs tight against one another.

3. Tuck your chin in.

4. The snake will begin to nudge and climb over your body.

5. Do not panic.

6. After the snake has examined you, it will begin to swallow you from the feet end – always from the feet end. Permit the snake to swallow your feet and ankles. Do not panic!

7. The snake will now begin to suck your legs into its body. You must lie perfectly still. This will take a long time.

8. When the snake has reached your knees, slowly and with as little movement as possible, reach down, take your knife and very gently slide it into the side of the snake’s mouth between the edge of its mouth and your leg, then suddenly rip upward, severing the snake’s head.

9. Be sure you have your knife.

10. Be sure your knife is sharp.

i haven't read this thread in its entirety, i'll probably catch it tomorrow morning while i'm doing my laundry.

well, the work week was interesting and went rather quickly for me. (thank goodness!) i am so ready for the weekend!

and now that i've had dinner and have a 6.5 beer in hand, i plan on hitting the youtube (or maybe the last.fm) to plug in and tune the <:eek:> out.

:D



many thanks to bv for the nice little venue. lol, it's almost like open mike night, eh? ;) .. but i'm NOT singing holy diver - that's for damned sure!

Look for it in the wasteland. :)

I'm quite interested in the snake lore at the mo. Don't know whether to laugh or cringe.

LOL....I would NOT let the snake eat me up to my knees.!

Anaconda lore: debunked! (http://www.darwinawards.com/darwin/darwin1999-12.html) :D

http://www.darwinawards.com/darwin/darwin1999-12.html

Todd Cook says: "As an informed Herpetologist, I can tell you that this is not true. Anacondas, boa constrictors and pythons swallow from the head down 99% of the time, almost always after constricting the prey to death. Even if a snake finds a dead animal it will often constrict it to make sure it is dead before eating it."

[iJohnHenry]

Else it might attack it with an banana.

[Surely]

****** that! I'm not letting a snake swallow me up to my knees.

I think I would just start stabbing the damn thing until the snake died or went away.

Interesting (2 page)article about Anacondas.

"Although green anacondas have a reputation as man-killers, they rarely attack humans, according to Rivas".

^Although anacondas might eat only once or twice a year.

Sorry, but that particular reincarnation is out of the question.

An American woman has revealed how she was swindled out of $400,000 (£269,000) by Nigerian internet fraudsters, in what is believed to be one of the biggest cases of its kind ever recorded.

Janella Spears, a registered nurse from Sweet Home, Oregon, said she started sending money to the scammers in 2005 after she received an email promising her several million dollars from a long-lost relative. In what is commonly known as a 419 scam - named after a section of the Nigerian criminal code - the fraudsters randomly contacted Spears over the internet, claiming they would offer her a substantial cut of $20.5m fortune in return for the cash injection which would help move it out of the country.

"I kept thinking it's only a couple hundred dollars - I can get it back," she told local news. Over a period of two years, the fraudsters strung her along and encouraged her to send more payments of up to $14,000 at a time. In the end she became obsessed and sent the fraudsters more than $400,000, which she raised by remortgaging her home and spending her husband's retirement savings.

...

Despite advice from bank officials, police and even the FBI that the scheme was a ruse, Spears said she continued to send cash in the hope of a large pay-off. Even fake emails claiming to be from the President of Nigeria and US president George Bush could not dissuade her.

That's terrible. Her internal struggle must of been devastating; to stop sending money would be to admit that she had been scammed, but the result of this denial was the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Why did they never actually release a PB G5? I was seeing a dual core PPC along side the Intels.... Would have given us more of a choice and the G5 tower was nice! There is a avatar somewhere saying "PowerBook G5: Tuesday will never come." I haven't seen it in a while...:(
