My wife and co-workers having another joke at my expense. Damned if I wasn't nervous like crazy though before class started when I was waiting outside the hall. All went well though.

lol ,don't forget to do your homework & take your pack lunch

And ekk you start early!:Q ,so I guess I'll see ya even less in Guild Wars then?

Are you kidding, Eye of the North comes out soon! Liz took off work this weekend so that we could do nothing but play the pre-release.

 

[Assimilator1]

Happy Birthday, Dwayne!

We need to form a spat line---27 spats on his birthday.

SPAT!!!

We usually punch them in the shoulder, but okay!

SPAT SPAT!!!

 

[petrusbroder]

Congrats FMC! SPAT!

Hi Liz, did you make him a nice cake?

 

[TallBill]

FMC, you aint alone. I'll be 25 and a freshmen in college starting in January. Scary thought.

 

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

In my English class, I was the eldest of the students by 8 years. I'm not sure, but I think I may be older than the professor. :laugh:

 

[TallBill]

Thats just more 18 year old girls to look at FMC.

 

[Assimilator1]

LMAO ,how true!

I don't remember the girls looking as nice as they do today as they did when I was in college. Maybe at 40 you have a different perspective??

 

[TallBill]

Nope, they are exactly how I remember them

 

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

I remember people being smarter... Ugh, damn. I'm rushing through my math homework--I completely thought that tomorrow was Labor Day, and that I had the day off from work and school. But apparently I was a week off.

We took our kids to the Franklin Institute today. I could have used a stiff drink of something after the 50th "I'm hungry...."

Had a great time and saw lots of neat things. The Tutankhamun exhibit was very interesting.

Was that the Franklin Institute in Philly? If so, back in the 80's they had some equipment my dad made and I've always wondered if it was still there. He had a small 2 man co. that hand made electronic equip for monitoring air pollution. It was in a room for weather/environmental science that would show you all sort of readings about current conditions in the city. We didn't even know it was there, just sorts stumbled across it.

Ok, but only for you.

 

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

Is there even any chance that it won't? hehe. I wouldn't bet on it.

The question is: Will this thread ever surpass Online Bulk Beef?

 

[Assimilator1]

Bloody great thing it was!:Q

 

[Rudy Toody]

I know some of you are curious how I got the name: Rudy Toody. I also realize that some of you don't give a rat's asp, so you people can go read another post.

With the US Labor Day holiday weekend coming up, which in Seattle means: Bumbershoot, I thought I would take this occasion to explain the origin of Rudy Toody.

Bumbershoot is an arts and music festival held every Labor Day weekend where Seattle-ites celebrate the transition from the warm rainy season to the cold rainy season.

For 21 years I worked at Bumbershoot as a Gate Manager. Gates 2T and 2P to be precise. The gates are identified by the suffixes: T for ticket, P for passes, and V for vehicle. As you can see, this would cause some confusion over the radios.

A few years ago I decided to write a comic novel called: Bumbershoot -- The Novel. The italicized passage above was to be on the introduction page.

Now, part of the process of writing humorous stories is to create minor characters that pop up now and then to add comic relief. So, to capitalize on the confusion with the gate numbers, I came up with the character: Rudy Toody. I expected Rudy to respond to calls for 2T with: "It's not Tooty! It's Toody! Rudy Toody!"

A festival of this size-- it is one of the largest in the US-- requires the labor of hundreds of employees and volunteers, and many months of preparation. I figured it would take about 4 years to research all the facets of this festival before I could begin writing.

However, the production company did not ask me back for a 22nd year. "Why?" I asked. "Because you are weird," they replied.

I decided that if I am to spend 4 years researching a comic novel, it won't be about Bumbershoot. After a great deal of thought about what I could write about that would be funny and interesting to research, I decided to write: Aversion Therapy.

This will be a novel about a clinic that uses aversion therapy to cure nymphomania.

I have finished my 4 years of research and I will begin writing as soon as I recover.

LoL, Rudy ...

Great start - but what for an ending? :Q

It eventually fell off.


THE END

Hey guys, I'm feeling like an idiot, but can someone give me a hand with a simple math question. I can't seem to figure it out.
((1/4)/4) = 1/16. I know it 's 1/16, but I can't work it out to that. 1/4 / 4 != 4 / 1/4 * 1/4 / 4.

I don't know. It's been kicking my arse for all day, even though it isn't part of my homework.

 

[TallBill]

((1/4)/4) is the same as (1/4)*(1/4). I forget the terms though to explain it.

 

[Rudy Toody]

((1/4)/(4/1)) is what you are looking at. To divide, invert and multiply.
