If you're having fora problems I feel bad for you son. I've got... no problems and I feel pretty good about it.

I don't know how you would expect the mods to have fun if word filters were not allowed. Random deletion/banning/other administrivia?

by **SecondTalon** » Wed Mar 30, 2011 9:03 pm UTC

Man, I think we can get behind random banning/deletion. I've got some dice right here, and a random number generator I wrote.

Code: Select all: >>> random.random() 0.37444887175646646 >>> random.uniform(1, 10) 1.1800146073117523 >>> random.randint(1, 10) 7 >>> random.randrange(0, 101, 2) 26 >>> random.choice('abcdefghij') #wait, should that have been a 4 or a 2 up there? 'c' >>> items = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7] #yeah, a 4. >>> random.shuffle(items) >>> items [7, 3, 2, 5, 6, 4, 1] #Fuck it, hookers and blow time. GetObject [Hookers][Blow] Party>

Shit won't run, but I don't care.

Don't blame me. Orginial post-text was not redundant.

Like I said, you can leave for a few days, and come back when it's done. Or, you can futilely whinge about it until it's done. If it's that important to you, then send a bunch of PMs to all the mods. I'm sure they'll be happy to answer your questions about it... :roll:

Basically, go fuck yourself, Kang.

Kindly, though.

by **Jessica** » Wed Mar 30, 2011 9:35 pm UTC

Quite kindly. Possibly with like some roses, candles and a nice bath.

I eat breakfast so rarely that whenever I do have breakfast I tend to declare whatever I happen to be eating the breakfast of champions.

Add a key-lime pie and a couple of Camel cigarettes to that and you're belching fire and brimstone for the rest of the day.

How about a minotaur that shoots rockets?

by **Oregonaut** » Mon Apr 04, 2011 12:27 pm UTC

A minotaur that shoots rockets and belches fire and brimstone is entering world-ending awesomeness territory.

by **SurgicalSteel** » Mon Apr 04, 2011 12:37 pm UTC

IIRC he also lobbed grenades from his mouth, but I couldn't find any video of it.

Most days I just write code, change diapers, drink cheap beer and mow the lawn.

They don't market reese's pieces where I live.

You make proclamations, pillage monasteries, behead people and offer to trade your breakfast for some horse meat?

With a name like "SlyReaper" you expected him to rule fairly?

by **pseudoidiot** » Mon Apr 04, 2011 3:45 pm UTC

I had some leftover pizza for breakfast.

A bacon bacon bacon pizza from Papa Murphy's (it's a take & bake place).

Now that's a breakfast of kings.

Hey, that is what I call ruling fairly. When I am king I'm gonna spend my time doing all sorts of wacky shit to make sure I get a place in the history books. Making a donkey a bishop? Try actually demanding that whenever I get to a castles front door,they move they whole thing around me.

Edit: stupid auto correct, make=/= male, I thought we'd moved past that.

ISHTST: "There", "Their" and "They're" are not all the same word with the same meaning but just different spellings to make things complicated.

I find this is just the worst in speech. I'm constantly stopping myself mid-sentence to explain which homonym I mean. If I just said, "Don't go there!" Then, well. Imagine. They might think I was saying, "Don't go they are". And then they'd just be confused.

by **SANTARII** » Tue Apr 05, 2011 11:58 am UTC

To clarify: There was a person who was arguing against having to use the right ones in the right place because they thought they were actually all the same word and that it is stupid to just spell the same word differently at different times when it means the same thing.
It's not just that they were using the words interchangeabley, they actually thought they were all the same word.

You pronounce "they're" the same as "there" and "their"??
