I found it kinda funny how a hurricane managed to land on the city hosting of the Republican convention, on the day of the convention, and yet the religious nutjobs STILL thought it was because there were too many gays. Logic would dictate that perhaps, if god's wrath was real, he might just be targeting it at someone, yes? Possibly the very prominent event which was occuring where the hurricane hit?

Nah, it must be those gays all over the country. That's why god hit the Republicans convention with a hurricane.
Presumably to punish folks for not getting the job done.

More realistically, from the divine wrath perspective, hurricanes are proof that god hates people near coastlines. More accurately, natural disasters in general are proof that god hates idiots (who live in major risk areas) and poor structural engineers and/or the people who acquire their services. Maybe YHWH's a bit of a... what would you call it, geocist? Geographist? Bigot who's bigoted against people that live in certain geographical areas. Not nations, mind. Like, someone that hates everyone that lives in coniferous forests or in flood plains or somethin'. Like dat, yeah.

... does that actually have a word?

Yeah, I mean no-one even remembers the first guy on the moon do they?

Name ANY OTHER person from that team
Adding to that, I'd imagine the number of people that remember Armstrong would decline rapidly if we actually start sending folks up there with any degree of regularity. "First" tends to get less impressive when there's many thousands right after you on the list :P

Familiarity breeds contempt, heh.

Seriously though, I wouldn't because the chances of me being able to afford it are basically zero, or close enough trying to bank on it would be foolish to the extreme. I'd totally love to chip in to help shift population off the earth, though. Volunteer as a receptionist or paper-processor or somethin', y'ken? Help move things along and get those darn kids off my lawn folks up to the new frontier and away from my spice garden..

We do our politics like we do our holidays. Violently corporatized and extending successively longer periods as attempts to monetize reach greater heights.

Remember, Sheb: The founding reason for th'USA was to make more money. Everything else we say and extend as platitudes beyond that? Generally an outright lie, on the net. Follow the money, m'fellow.

Welcome back again, Vec, heh.

... besides that, honey and clover apparently make good tea? I think? Haven't actually tried, but despite not indulging often, honey really does do good things for tea, so...

... I need to have some tea soon. Not at two in the morning, as I haven't yet slept this twenty-four hour period. But maybe after the nap.

Really the forum accepts voluminous praises for the Great Toad pretty much where'er you lay them. They're just best placed in th'upper forums, closer to the Great Toad's actual work, rather than merely basking in his magnanimity.

Maybe. Vaguely remember something about physiological reactions to certain stress situations ('Zerkergangers running around at full mast, ferex) that makes that sort of thing... well... damn, wording fails me. Normal isn't quite the right word, but... understandable? Explicable within a fairly normative range of psychology? S'not necessarily what's going on, o'course, but I think it's not an impossibility, or even particularly statistically unusual. Definitely not socionormative, but a lot a physiologically normal shit isn't so whatev' to that.

I'd... say most of the ones I've met have trended towards a lot more chill than th'folks I went through school with, on average, yeah. Half-ass implemented creche system is a delightful way to make a melting pot of hate and stress.

And, frankly, I went through a seriously chill public school series, as they go. I've heard a lot of bad, bad shit coming from larger areas.

Ain't hormones grand? Chemical soup that comprises your soul and probably hates you a little, particularly riled up during one of the more stressful periods of your life. Fun times, sports fans!P.S. you divine fuckers who may or may not exist. If you do, and you did this shit to us? You're on the list. I'm going to break whatever your form possesses that's breakable. I pray a little every day your existence is a reality, just so I may enact an eternity of bloody vengeance on you bastards. It's all that gets me up some mornings, knowing that my infinite hate for you will grow every extra day I live on this plane of existence.

Why has this not been posted? Well, at least not that a search could tell. Anyway. Now it has been. "Now learned men, who use the pen, have wrote your praises high... ♫"

Have a Killiburn Brae to go with that. I can never tell if it's a sexist or feminist song :-\

Akly, s'far as style goes there's quite a bit of stuff similar on OCRemix... and some of the more chiptune stuff things roaming around the net probably falls right in line with that, even if it doesn't fit OCR's submission standards. Nothing right off the top of my head, though.

E: Speaking of requests, though, anyone know of stuff along the lines of this?

23905
So. Is there a scientific explanation for why wiring gets tangled so easily? What's the mechanics behind the phenomena?

If you were an orange, I'd pulp your innards to make a refreshing drink after stripping your skin off to fertilize the spices in my garden with it.

I don't think you want to be an orange. But maybe you do ???

The problems don't come from too much centralization; they come from too little. If the mightiest man in the world is elected by only about a fifteenth (is that about right?) of the global population, something's quite wrong.
Heehee, no, no. Obama was voted in by ~64 million people. Out of ~7 billion total world population. Which comes out to... .0091, or about nine tenths of a percent. Fifteenth, heehee. America's total population is only about 4% of the world's, or around a twenty-fifth. Obama was voted in by less than a forth of that. You overestimated a bit ;D

... $0.89 for a gallon of water, where I'm at. Maybe less for city water, but th'city water here has a nasty habit of making me sick. You lot have expensive tastes in libation.

Is... is a bottle of alcohol really worth a week of food? That shit must be pretty incredible. Still not enough to tempt me into it, but going by cost comparison it's gotta' be something quality.

Don't even freaking start. I still drool a little when I think of the monster they gave my madre for a work computer. It's like... something ridiculous, and completely overpowered for a normal school computer. Set up for video editing, and someone went a bit excessive. Roughly as powerful as every other computer I've ever owned combined.
