Another in a long line of ridiculous AIM chats between Camman and primesuspect:
Camman: I guess im just a bitter little person who will bitch about anything to anyone who will listen primesuspect: I think your apparent bitterness stems from the underlying tension that must exist in any social situation whereby two or more parties feel the need to bolster their own sense of ego by parading their intellectual prowess to the masses, as it were. Camman: indubidibly primesuspect: ergo, your erstwhile attempts at explanation leave me with a sense of intellectual deprivation, i.e. I am dumber for having read your litany.
This is GENERAL hardware right?
ok, We need to get a new kettle for tea making purposes (this thread may only be of interest to UK citizens and primesuspect) We need a window to asertain the current water level, it must be cordless, fast and shiny. I have looked at the Morphy Richards 43058 3KW jug s and the Russell Hobbs 1011rialto opte, both 3KW with fast boil. Can either of these kettles be overclocked or are they locked? Is there anyway to mod them to 3.1KW? What is the max safe voltage I could apply to the element? As with all Tea related products cost is not an issue.
Help me out guys.
Well I try to learn something new everyday, and today's lesson was the meaning behind TOODSFART... this shall forever be remembered, I can just feel my brain burning many many of it's cells to allocate memory needed for this lesson... I think I just forgot all my education from College.
Geeky1: know what I hate? When every 2nd or 3rd oreo in an entire bag of them is broken so I can't take them apart
AstroWorp: yeah life can be pretty rough at times
AstroWorp: i'm sorry, man
Yeah, and how many power supplies it will need. People may have to start renting pylons.... "Hi, yeah, I need a direct power feed to this area" : "Ok, what is it for, road maintenance hardware, drilling equiptment?" : "Er, kind of.... you see I have this really good graphics card for my PC...".
General Keebler: I think I chipped my tailbone or something so I came home to see the doctor Stupid modem. primesuspect: How did you chip your tailbone on a modem?

Dexter, Shwaip and everyone else who took the time to help this rookie user.. omegasearch is dead, my browser is safer and this site is incredible!!! You people are absolutely amazing... I don't know how you find the time, but thank you very much
At the Original Pancake House. Primesuspect, Thrax, GHoosdum, and CrazyJoe0813 are at a table. Table is crowded. primesuspect decides to consolidate plates. He moves his pancakes on to his main plate, and stacks his empty pancake plate under thrax's empty plate. Thrax's comment?
"Dude, you have an epic dream about being chivalrous and holding on to a beautiful woman over a war-torn landscape... I have a dream about a washed-up glam rocker from the 80s popping zits on my face... And YOU feel like a sissy? Your dream is positively MANLY compared to mine! "

On the Memorial Weekend 2004 Party at prime's house:
[20:51] Thrax: I wonder if we could import Dan :X [20:52] skwitko: Well, if we can somehow digitize him, we could FTP him to Detroit, or maybe BitTorrent. [20:52] Thrax: He wouldn't be that big a download either. [20:52] skwitko: No, especially if we tar and gzip him. [20:52] Thrax: The man practically grew up to be gzipped..
I heard on the discovery channel like a year ago that losing your hair is just evolution doing its job. They say that eventually no one will have hair.
So according to that not only am I not evolved because I have a lot of hair but I also have a molar with a double root which is a Neanderthal trait
Geeky1: It's not compensation so much as expression. Heatsink size and wheiner size are directly proportional, not inversely proportional.
Thraacks: I also subscribe to the "Huge HSF = Huge wheiner" theorem.
Geeky1: hehe
Geeky1: well, if we both believe it, it can't possibly be wrong
Thraacks: Of course not!
Sad so very very sad....

Tex, relating his adventure at a boiled Crawdad special at a Texas restaurant, tells of the big-breasted, intellect-impaired waitress' comments:
" P.S. When she brought over the live crawfish to the table I bought as fish bait earlier I couldn't help but poke a little fun at her (liike shooting fish in a barrel) and I asked her if we could get in trouble for crossing state lines with the crawfish... She looks over at Robin and says "don't worry sweetie... if you get pulled over just show em your tits".
Of course this becomes the battle cry and solution for every problem all night... JUST SHOW EM YOUR TITS ROBIN."
"You guys sure are rubbing it in us UK'ers faces. Next time, we should have the LAN here in the UK. I can see it now, it will just be Dan', Colin, Bothered and myself all huddled round a little camp fire playing UT2005 to minimilist effect."
- on the abundance of "inside jokes" since the SM LAN and the Memorial Weekend party..

Bothered, pondering one of life's great questions:
I'm always suspicious of 'life time' guarantees. Does it mean it's guaranteed untill it fails or untill I do.

After receiving advice from several Short-Media members, Vicodin states his decision not to purchase an quad Intel P3 500 Xeon system:
"Thank you for the common sense infusion.
I will not put it in my house,
I will not use it with my mouse,
I will not buy it here or there,
I will not buy it anywhere,
No xeon 500, Sam I am -
I do not like Green Eggs and Ham.
"Come to think of it, that would be the fastest way yet to get the data. I could drive there, punch them in the face, get the data, and drive back in a week's time.

I finally ended up making a sign that said:
NO GHOSTS/DAEMONS ALLOWED
I hung that inside the case, and my problem was solved.
