>> Not for long -- he's been banned again too And this time probably permanently.
Heh. What for this time? There's normally a (n amusing) good reason.

Hey Josh. Yeh back again?

It depends on my mood. I like it with nothing, sugar, milk, or cream and most combinations of the above, haven't tried it with milk and cream, but all others stand depending on my mood. I had it with...

In Ireland it's about €1.10 a litre, a gallon is 3.785411784 litres, which translates to about $5.20 for a gallon of Irish petrol.

This year my family is doing a secret santa, so instead of having to conceive of seven presents to buy one! I bet I'll still (A) buy a bad present, (B) leave it late and (C) buy it for the wrong...

There's a joke going around Ireland that goes along these lines... "A police man stops a car that's filled with five guys wearing white robes with hoods. It's late at night and he asks the driver...

I don't know about a name for the shop, but your caption could be: "Hang the wife. Shoot the family. Frame the kids." I saw it on a shop somewhere else and it stuck.

I wasn't going to, but then I got bored so I did. These are the ones Grim got bored of answering.

You'll save the world you will, Serunson. I feel save in your hands.
Edit: Or rather with your mind!

What a great country.

In fact I think this question is completely off the wall. Toy guns can't hurt anyone so why bother asking if kids should play with them or not. What you should be asking is if kids should play with...

I dunno though... real AI should learn. So after a number of conversations it should get better.

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/world/2008/1001/1222724596386.html Bit excessive I think.

Jean Michelle Jarre is a fraud. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3SMB-YQ56s (two minutes in, complements to Aia)

>> and I never really shot anyone with a real gun
That vague denial of shooting nobody doesn't fill me with confidence.

I probably don't believe...

Surely the computer's gonna talk l33t so it can't be distinguished from any other 13 year old girl on the net. Of course it's gonna succeed.

Sorry, dude. Looks like you were out too even though you started this thread.

Hey, lardy, you forgot me! Grr.

Why not? I made it to 2k in another forum and didn't notice until I was at 2050 ish.

Just had an omelet with toast and am currently drinking tea.

I think the LHC is wonderful.

>> He is right about HO's mother -- she was white trash. But we can't blame HO for the sins of his parents.
Who's HO?

Actually my fingers method is pretty stupid. Kinda rules out anonymous ballots if your prints are recorded :/

Fingers. If you want to vote for someone you cut off your finger and put it in a box. Most fingers wins. It'll mean only people who REALLY want a candidate will vote so you get the best government.

>> Interesting, a dark rap!
Where? Has it been observed? Wow!

That made me cringe, but like a car crash, I couldn't...

So I have a banning within the hour at ... 9:1. Do us proud.

But how can I pass out when there's a challenge to be met? Talk about ethics!

In this order (ordered by difficulty of problem to be tackled) -- do nothing out of ordinary, music, tea, coffee, beer, Irish coffee, straight whiskey. Normally do a linear iteration through the set...

I like this topic. Wasn't it Einstein who said "You don't understand something fully unless you can explain it to your grandparents"? I'm nearly sure I'm mixing quotes, but I stand by it.

Why do you say "G-d"?

Kind of a thread mix, but I was re-reading Hitchikers again and came across this: "Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."
