Friday Chatterbox

[Blue Velvet]

It's Friday!

This thread's for spamming with aimless chatting with others if you're getting in the weekend mood.

Like last week's thread (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=600215), this thread is going to be wastelanded at the end of the day. Once it's sent to the wasteland, any posts within will not count towards personal post totals.

Because it's fun and for one day, you can post whatever you want.

[Blue Velvet]

Sorry, I don't understand the purpose of this Friday Chatterbox. Why not get everyone to use a chat website or IRC?

The purpose is to loosen up a bit and not send people elsewhere. It's just a bit of lighthearted nonsense at the end of the week.

[tyranna]

lol, there's nothing like a little bit of lighthearted nonsense at the end of the week.


does lighthearted nonsense come with beer? if not, it should. even if it's just plain old root beer. ;)

So not Saturdays, because you shouldn't fart in church?

You are correct. Friday is the perfect day! Unless of course there's a three day weekend w. Monday off and then Sunday will work which is nice since my -almost- famous chili goes so well with beer and football.:D

More Beer Facts


About 4000 years ago, it was the accepted practice in Babylonia that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer, and because their calender was lunar based, this period was called the "honey month" or what we know today as the "Honey moon".
Before the invention of the thermometer, brewers used to check the temperature by dipping their thumb to find whether it was appropriate for adding yeast. Too hot, the yeast would die. This is where we get the phrase "The Rule of Thumb".
In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts. So in old England, when customers got unruly, the bartender used to yell at them to mind their own pints and quarts and to settle down. This is where we get "mind your own P's and Q's".
After consuming a vibrant brew called Aul or Ale, the Vikings would go fearlessly into the battlefield, without their armour, or even their shirts. The "Berserk" means "bear shirt" in norse, and eventually to the meaning of wild battles.
Way down in 1740, the Admiral Veron of the British fleet decided to water down the navy's rum, which naturally, the sailors weren't pleased with. They nicknamed the Admiral Old Grog, after the still stiff grogram coats he used to wear. The term grog soon began to mean the watered down drink itself. When you are drunk on this grog, you are "groggy", a word still in use today.
Long ago in England, pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the rim of their beer mugs or ceremic/glass cups. The whistle was used to order services. Thus we get the phrase, "wet your whistle".

Interesting Beer Speculation

The German historian Josef Reichholf proposes that the the development from a hunting to an agrarian culture 10000 years ago was not, as often proposed, driven by a lack of protein due to dwindling wildlife population. Instead, he proposes that our ancestors discovered alcoholic fermentation and began to grow crop to still their thirst. Here is an interview in German.

Teabags can be used to reduce the swelling of puffy eyes. Lie on your back and place a moist teabag over both eyes and leave on for around 20 minutes, this leaves your eyes feeling fresher, brighter, and looking revitalised. Also, a wet teabag can be used to soothe burns and sunburn. By either placing the teabag straight onto the burn or pouring tea into cool bathwater, it has been known to take away the burn's sting and help the skin heal faster.

I just thought you'd want to know.

The powers that be at Guinness say that a pint of beer is lifted about ten times, and each time about 0.56 ml is lost in a beer drinker’s facial hair. That’s a lot of wasted beer!


It sometimes helps to run your finger across your forehead first since the oils will help lessen the head faster. Of course if you know what you're doing you shouldn't have that much head to begin with.

And speaking as someone with some meager facial hair, it's not wasted... we're just saving a small taste for later.

Why do you Americans like coffee so much? Do you even sleep at night from drinking a lot of caffeine?

A 4 year old, an 18 month old and one on the way. The only time my wife and I get to do adult things, like catch up on TV we don't want the girls watching is after they're asleep. She doesn't stay up as late as I do, but she's pregnant, and doesn't play the Wii either.

What point is a liquid without stimulant in it? :confused:

Hydration so you can consume mass quantities of beverages with depressants?

Let's move to another topic:
Remove the letter C or K in English alphabet? :D
I would prefer to remove letter K since C can make that sound and replace soft c's with s's. It would also probably save space on keyboard, by one letter. ;) :D
What do you think?

Remove the C, the S can replace soft C and K can replace hard Cs, while we're at it get rid of X and replace it with 'ks' except for the times it's used for a 'z' sound in which case replace it with a 'z', use the now eliminated x to make the 'ch' sound and now we've streamlined the whole system. Next up replace all soft 'g' instances with 'j' and eliminate the idea of the soft 'g'.

This sucks, have to travel next week, which is good, but I had to come back in to work tonight to finish up some last bits. Got hit by a missing not in my code now waiting on the compile to test and release, retest. Luckily there were 2 beers in the work fridge, have one while I'm here and take the second home, no one else seems like they want em here....

Oh well once I get past the flight and 3 hour drive on Monday I have a week back in central WI to relax...

Of course we have a weekend of cleaning and packing ahead of us but it's nice that we have the weekend instead of flying out tomorrow.

Let's dump all of our modern technology and go back to ancient way of life (like the Romans, Greeks, and Egyptians).

There's currently an 'Egypt' marathon on the national geographic channel, it's been going on all afternoon.

I think I'm going to get in bed now. My wife is yelling for me to get in it... you know what that means!

That she want's the TV/video game system to herself for awhile?

What a coincidence... my wife's getting ready to play with the Wii when I get in bed.

Good night!

Anyone have a good ghost story?

I'm generous. :) Saturday doesn't start until midnight Pacific time and maybe even Honolulu time by the time I get myself out of bed over here in London, where it's been Saturday for almost five hours already.

Why in God's name are you up before sunrise on a Saturday morning? That's just sick. :p

You needs to get some sleep young lady!

Not me but I have a funny ass pickup line someone used on me today.

It goes as so ...
(it is a cold night for so. cal. weather)

Guy walks into a bar and says ...
"it is sure cold outside honey and all I want is some place to hide these nuts for the winter."

I swear, I wasn't sure if I should have laughed or gone home with him. Assuming he had a home! It cracked me up so much!

[mknawabi]

ship it to me! :D

[jessica.]

hahah @ firewire drives. Steve-o brought and steve-o takes away.

I loved the new MB but I took issue with the screen personally. However, people seem generally pleased with them. I for one think they're awesome otherwise. And that sexy track pad! OMG!

ship it to me! :D

Or me!
hah :) I am closer to the OP than you are ... HB is closer than Irvine right?!

[iVeBeenDrinkin']

Just in time for Christmas my old G4 667 has given up the ghost. High five! :D

I could never ditch it as it was working perfectly and still outshines more modern laptops. That's over 7 years of serious abuse and it just kept on ticking. Amazing, huh? And in an amazing stroke of Karma I had backed up everything before doing a charity benefit. Time for a shiny new macbook methinks, and a few weeks of leafing through my backup drives - my firewire backup drives... :rolleyes:

Something tells me I'll be single a little while longer... :D

Congrats, I think.

[Blue Velvet]

Because I'm a creature of the night.

Right now? I'll get dressed for that! Besides I am super hungry and fresh out of sweet potatoes.

[TuffLuffJimmy]

My favorite pickup line is:

Did you fart? Because you blew me away.

[Schtumple]

BV you're still going?!?! I thought I was bad, photoshopping from 11pm till 4:30am aint no way to get your sleeping pattern fixed.

You my dear must be atleast 60% robot :p

[mknawabi]

Haha, maybe next week. We can all sit down near some apple store and be nerdies. That would be fun :p

[Blue Velvet]

You my dear must be atleast 60% robot :p

Part robot, an unfeeling sociopath. Part insomniac with no TV who's bored with books. ;)

[Schtumple]

I see, I'm guessing you've tried all the usuals? Or do you enjoy the odd sleeping pattern?

It's just something I got into for various reasons and medication. I'll try to snap out of it soon. Got some busy times just ahead.
