Banned because that was the sooeee of crass consumer culture calling your bourgeois behind to the slop trough. There's lots of stuff left over from Xmas and somebody's gotta eat it.
[quote who="Jafo" reply="777" id="3047010"]... Apparently...for GW the quote he referred to showed 'Sinperium' as the person being quoted....which was wrong...but the comment number was correct. It'll be a cache issue between Forums/sites....resolves itself given a few minutes.

Banned for getting buggy.
[quote who="Tetleytea" reply="773" id="3046855"]It took mankind 4000 years before the Arabs finally figured that out.[/quote] Actually, the Arabs just brought the zero to Europeans. They found it in India, where it was 'invented' somewhere around 800-900 CE I think. p.s. There is definitely a forum bug, at least in this thread. The quote block above auto-attributed to Sinperium despite having the correct reply number for Tetleytea's post.
[quote who="psychoak" reply="4" id="3046515"]Stupid people that graduate from college are so fun.[/quote] Not if you're the one who actually held them to reasonable standards and ended up in an academic version of the email chain quoted over at Penny Arcade (with Dave as the instructor and Ocean Marketing as the student). Game controllers are products and people buying them are customers. Students are neither of those things, yet so many students and 'education industry' w
Banned because that's some sort of atemporal red herring from an interest group who are at least as scary as the outer limits of Paul's policy preferences. More scary, maybe. No engagement vs. engagement aimed at enabling the end of time? Tough call. It doesn't matter that Mr. Paul said he “wouldn’t have risked American lives to end the Holocaust.” The nation didn't risk our citizens' lives to end the Holocaust. Ending the Holocaust
Banned in the name of the Ineffable Pie in the Sky.
Well, you seemed to be encouraging the digression in reply 14, but I always defer to a thread owner's direct request.
Banned for failure to appreciate the innuendo potential in a pie discussion. Filling, tenderness, sweetness, spiciness, the various roles of pie holes, the virtues of eating with your hands...
Banned because I've never seen a recipe for frigging. Is that an Aussie thing like figgy pudding?
[quote who="Sinperium" reply="16" id="3046330"]Yep--a little history gives context. ...[/quote] So you have nothing to say about where you found that silly prattle about when "we all had peace" then? You need to put remarks like that in a context if you want to have a productive conversation with strangers. Regarding the WWII talk, I'm quite conservative about the art of writing history, and rule #1 is that if someone who witnessed it is alive, it is still current events,
Banned because there's always time to type about pie. Of course, like everything else, pies end up connected to politics (who gets the best butter, who gets the fruit from the bottom of the barrel), and some fights over recipe standards get almost extreme enough to resemble religious conflicts. p.s. The sweet pie reference above is in no way meant to demean or ignore members of savory pie communities. Samosas and pulled-pork empanadas are very respectable pastry shell path
[quote who="Sinperium" reply="13" id="3046273"]Says the man born very post WWII and buys the politically correct bull that before the US was a superpower, we all had peace.[/quote] Beg pardon, but where the frak did you pull that natter from? Among other things, long before the U.S. became a superpower, we fought the world's first industrialized war amongst ourselves . I'm no correctness fanatic, but I am a staunch critic of the Cold War and our current state o
Banned for old school slang that predates "old school" as a slang term.
Banned because it works in both standard English and in several slang contexts.
Banned for apparent fear that Scoutdog has a point about the new entity. That is a fairly fierce face under that silly hat.
Banned for lacking the gravitas to pull off a dominatrix ban. High member number, low site b.s. points, sideways cap--none of those say "Respect mah awe-thor-it-ay."
Banned for underwhelming irony.
Banned for doubling your fear of questions.

[quote who="Draakjacht" reply="39499" id="3044503"]banned for I do not negotiate with the undead.[/quote] Banned for denying the possibility of living with the undead. They might not eat vegetables, but where's the evidence that they won't give peace a chance? Up with Dead People .
Banned because I'm neither unique nor clearly part of a defined group.
Hmm. m-w.com counts as a crappy online dictionary to me, and I'm not used to any online version of the OED and would be sad to see it abandoning its roots as the glorious project of the professor and the madman. I'd expect to see a usage example associated with an origin date, or at least some notes about why that's the origin date even though there is no usage example. [quote who="boshimi336" reply="108" id="3044421"]I have no idea what is going on anymore ... wow. [/quot
[quote who="Draakjacht" reply="39487" id="3044385"]Banned because the neuroanatomy is the important part. Who cares what the mass of the organ is if its function continues to alter significantly. Point is that we should wait and see how he is about when he finishes college.[/quote] Banned for being a dreary materialist and having no appreciation for emergent properties of whole systems. Sure, the neuroanatomy is an important part, but if we've learned anythi
Banned because it sounds like we read it first around the same age, and because your local libraries deserve derision for not having a decent selection of SF classics or you just need to move your stumps & git down there.
