PrintPull up a chair, or go ahead and relax on one of them there blankets. I just made up a fresh pitcher of lemonade, and there's iced tea too. Maybe a little later I'll pull the bourbon down off the top shelf and we can have a nice mint julep. Sure is a nice night.
What to talk about today? Well, says here that nice young Joaquin Phoenix might not be gracing the silver screen for too much longer. Sure is a pity.
And what's this? The Christian Science Monitor is going to stop the presses? Well, I do suppose that's the way this world is headed. I will miss sitting here on the porch and catching up with the news of the day, but I suppose this here laptop works just as well. Things sure do change, but I guess that's the way it goes.
Well here's a bit of welcome news; seems that the end of daylight saving time is good for the old beatbox.
Course that all might be a moot point, seeing as how they've done gone ahead and just made a heart from scratch. Well don't that beat all. Never did think I'd see the day.
Course that's just the beginning of what we can discuss to pass the time. Y'all never do seem to run out of things to speak on. Stay a spell.

Only had a mint julip once, all I remember is a big glass of sugar. Kicked my ass though.
Rarely do I drink hard stuff. Right now I’m drinking a tall glass of icewater, and it’s delicious!
Plus, I’m embarrassed I referenced Faulkner, and misspelled misfire. Dummy.
I would feel bad but I've been sitting on this one all day.

It sounds amazing.
The closest I’ve come is the first bit of the Pirates of the Carribean ride at Disneyland where you’re going through the swampy part and there’s a bunch of fake fireflies.
My family left the midwest for Seattle in 1981 when I was 9.
One of the things I missed most was catching lightning bugs with my older brother.
I was in Missouri for a week this past summer and I got to catch some with my nephews. It was nostalgic gold.
Okay, so I had a dream last night that these Off-Topic Posts were actually all of us hanging out in person.
It was actually pretty cool.

If any of you smarter-than-me-people out there
beat level 18,19 or 20 on Fantastic Contraption please screen shot the successful contraption and send it to me. Your place in the pantheon will be assured.
Here's my contraption for nineteen
here’s what it looks like in action: more spoilers about 19
As for 18, I don’t see how it’s possible. For 20, I got up to the top but can’t get it around the bend.
I keep hearing 18,19,20…but 14 gave me soooo much trouble
Ryan Rowland-Smith for President
I was close to getting that one last night,
But I remember them by name more than number. What are 14, 18, and 20?
Man do I love midgets.
14 is "four balls"
I hate it , I hate it , I hate it
18 is “up the tube” or something…ugh…
20 is “unpossible”, you have to get on top of a large wall, then around to under the other side of the wall…haven’t even looked at 21 yet
Ryan Rowland-Smith for President
I used a catapult mechanism for 14.
The other two I still haven’t beaten.
It's hard to convince people to let you eat them if you're an asshole. - Thingray
I still haven't managed a succesful catapult.
Man do I love midgets.
It's my specialty.
I try to use it for everything. (It doesn’t always work)
It's hard to convince people to let you eat them if you're an asshole. - Thingray
I almost always end up with something that looks like a tank.
My catapults never have enough power to throw anything far enough to be useful.
Man do I love midgets.
For 14 I just did a conveyor belt.
18 is a bitch, and I’ve been stuck there and on 19 for a while.
Man do I love midgets.
Far out dude, thanks for the hints.
14 gave me trouble too, but I finally made a conveyor belt type thingy that worked. As far as the others ones, I completed 20 today. Took me all fucking day to do it. 18 and 19 I can’t even picture how at all it can be accomplished. Well 19 I can now.
Np. 20, nice
I didn’t even think about a conveyor belt for 14. You’d think I would have, since I spent so damn long on it. But I kept coming back to the same kind of tank-y design.
Ryan Rowland-Smith for President
For 20
You almost have to build a catapult type contraption, but put an anchor on the ball so it hooks around into the goal.
I haven't even tried 20, but I see what you mean.
Man do I love midgets.
Here's what I came up with for 18
http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=3078319
It seems to work pretty well
I tried about 80 different versions of that, and all of mine fell out the bottom.
Man do I love midgets.
He has his hooked to one of the sides of the bottom wheels.
That’s the difference between his and all of mine. Dammit, why didn’t I think of that.
It's hard to convince people to let you eat them if you're an asshole. - Thingray
Very nice.
Mine would go up a little bit and then collapse and fall out the bottom

Okay.
One: Note that you can build a contraption that is longer than the gap. You might want to raise the front wheels a bit to prevent tipping (think how a tank looks).
Two: If you go back to the main menu you can look at what other people have built.

Make sure they are rigidly linked. Make a frame of some kind.

Triangles...
Make use of triangle shapes. And remember that your rods don’t have to connect to anything. They can stop in mid-air, then you can attached another rod from there.

So is the starting position of the pink wheel/cube the generally optimal, or is it wise to experiment with different configurations?

You can move the pink cube/wheel as long as it's in the blue square.

Without those, it shifts left once the ramp goes down, and the ramp can’t hit that corner

If they can do the first-and-ten line, they could probably pull off a faded red circle around the puck.

I'm considering doing a series of off-season posts starting November 9 (Sunday).
The series would recap the Mariners’ history against each AL team (and their hated-rival Padres, to get 14). I figure I should do them in order of amount of expected history, or degree of rivalry. I’m thinking:
Rays, Twins, Royals, Tigers, White Sox, Orioles, Padres, Blue Jays, Rangers, Indians, Red Sox, Athletics, Angels, Yankees.
Any disagreement?

Baconnaise™ Fry Sauce
The condiment of choice for fries is ketchup in the U.S. and mayonnaise in Europe. A mayonnaise-ketchup combination called "fry sauce" provides a bridge between these two worlds, and in the Western U.S. in states like Utah, California, Washington and Idaho, it’s quickly growing in popularity. Our take on this new phenomenon adds the element of bacon to the mix.
2/3 cup Baconnaise
1/3 cup ketchup
Mix together and serve with your favorite fries or chips! Another option is to add sweet relish to taste.

Jesus my laptop is driving me crazy
For some reason, here at work, when I connect to the WiFi my computer will randomly blue screen on me. Already happened like 7 times today, and I can’t quite get a handle on why. I’ve replaced several different drivers, and looked at the dump report every time to try and resolve it. It’s very frustrating…
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
No shit.
It’s thrown 5 different driver errors at me, and every time I fix it, I get a different issue. But this only happens here at work. I use my home network fine, my fiancee’s, when I’m down there. I was able to connect no problem to the dealership next door’s network (until they secured it).

Thank God Lenovo makes format/restoring easy.
The easiest thing you could do is probably wipe the drive and start over. If you want to go through with a drive cleaner, I suppose you could try that. I’ve never had any luck though.
It’s not too bad, though. At the very least you’ll have a freshly formatted machine that’ll run like it’s brand new.
Yeah, I'm ok with doing that.

Nice places in Missouri to live?
Go go go
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
Stay away from St. Louis.
Branson is a beautiful area. I still have a soft spot for KC.
Basically the northern half is flatter, but still rolling hills while the southern half is incredibly hilly.
Why is Kansas City Missouri so nice compared to KC, KS?
I know all the stockyards and rail switching yards are on the KS side. But still, the difference between the burbs there and Miss. is pretty big. Never could figure out why, like there is ever any one reason.
Not completely sure either.
However, the whole “other side of the tracks” thing rings more true in the midwest than anywhere else I have ever been.
I was thinking about Joplin/Springfield
But I was definitely thinking southern as a fun place to live for a year while I take a leave of absence from school
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
and Branson = The Lawrence Welk show!
so that can’t be a bad thing
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
My Dad is a huge Lawrence Welk fan
and always wanted for us to go to Branson to see the show. My Mom never allowed this to happen
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
If I live in Springfield this will all change
because Mother will want to visit me and then we’ll be so close she will have no choice but to let Father and I go down.
Convincing my parents that I should take a year off from school (and have them be willing to continue helping with my college once I re-enroll) is going to be a challenge and this is a very small step forward
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
If it's a preset one year deal
Where the University expects me back after two semesters and I plan on going back after two semesters I think it’s worth it. My financial aid will even carry over.
The problem is that i am halfway through my junior year, I still don’t particularly care about school, I don’t have any idea what I want to do with my education, and I have for the last semester and a half now had an incredible amount of difficulty motivating myself to work.
If I move to Missouri, cut myself completely off from financial support from my parents, live in the real world for a year, then maybe I’ll want to go back and when I do I’ll be more motivated than ever and hopefully have some idea as to what I want to do
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
and I'm fairly confident that after my parents get over the initial shock
They will still be willing to help me with school once I decide to re-enroll

I was not incredibly motivated for my final year.
But I finished anyway. Then I hit the road and had fun for a good 8 years.

I needed to move away from the xhighways.org mold since the owner of wisconsinhighways.org, minnesotahighways.org, and michiganhighways.org has that area more covered

no Minnesotahighways.org actually

And that person would be me
Just making sure I can be one step ahead of you. I didn’t think I’d have to go as far as Missouri though

I've talked to the guy extensively
You are not him

Fudge
Also, am I correct in assuming that you’ve had extensive talks with him because he owns those domains?

nope
I felt a little bad about registering washingtonhighways.org because I did that before I found out his stuff existed, but no worries
I’ve talked to him on misc.transport.road
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
Fair enough
Just curious, because that would have been a definite “small world” kind of thing if that had come up in random conversation

By t he way if I do this
“Wanderlust” will be the title for the daily blog on my adventures in Missouri

"Wanderdust."
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
Oh man, I had a really good one here, but it's a weird combo of LLLJ and dirty.
I’ll use it in person one day.
How about today when I see you?

Nowhere near Cape Girardeau.
That place is infested with every bad stereotype of southerners that’s ever been uttered.

OK no Cape Girdraeu for me
I’m thinking Springfield is my best bet- Craigslist has lots of good office jobs available in the area

It's a good show but I could never think of a reason to make time to watch.

I have never seen it... in fact I haven't been watching much tv. I should probably cancel the fancy channels.
I’m spending all my time drinking hooch, cooking and computering.
Can I come over and steal your fancy channels then?
I just need like three days and then I’m good for months.

Fitting. My wife the internet addict is gone, and no one is here to talk to.

I'm still here, counting the seconds until my next blue-screen
Also, I just finished the bowling thread. Is it just the 2 of us here?

I've never been able to wear contacts.
Thank you Acuvue for creating the Acuvue Advance, the first set of contacts I’ve ever been able to shove in my eyes.
I think I'll stick with glasses though. Really gives me an edge with the fellas.
(edit: no it doesn’t)
One the fun benefit of having contacts is becoming desensitized to touching your eye.
It’s come in handy when you want to freak out the normal folk.
To a lot of guys, yes.
I’m one, as are quite a few of my friends.

Us ugly guys like women with glasses because we don't look as bad.

This is also why I can be attracted to girls with glasses.
That and good eyes are dominant, my whole dad’s side of the family has them aside from my aunt and grandmother, who wear coke bottles.

I just did a tank with two pink almost vertical on the front, followed with the box close behind, and yellows behind that.
Lots of wheight on the back and position the front pink to keep it barely off the ground. Try to make the two pinks hit the ball at once.

I like the ones that go up and over the best. Very creative.

It’s now 2 in the morning, and I have to be at work at 6. Guess I got too wrapped up in beating Unpossible. (for the last 3-4 hours)
