OTFPOTD 10!/7! edition

This post fulfills my weekly OTFPOTD quota. It's not my best work.

And don't question my use of signs, I'm aware the multiplication sign is a stupid looking star on the computer, but if it were real life, it would be a dot placed between the two numbers.

A Topic for Discussion

It's occurred to me that Lookout Landing should have a movie or theme park or such about it. Who would star? What would happen?

Update LLikipedia!

Have at it, it's the OTFPOTD!

You'll figure it out

the hint is in the post

It's OTFPORD 720

Yes, I just did the factorials.

I don't think it is though.

As he mentions something about multiplication.

Hahaha, Two Rs and Two Ls got it

is it weird that I typed your real name before I typed your SN?

10 = 10*9*8, or if the dashes were multiplication dots, 10-09-08

And I haven't.

I much prefer reading impenetrable essays by Louis Coser and Jurgen Habermas, thank you very much.

I've had the good life fortune of taking advanced classes in a wide range of subjects

That stuff’s difficult even for people who are good at it, so you can imagine.

I used to love making the factorial joke in math class

where you’d just yell out the number really loud.

This is why people shove you in your locker, you know.

Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms.

A new low!!

They were all Red Wings fans too

They even wore Red Wing brand shoes.

by Gomez on Oct 9, 2008 9:16 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

That's a strange way to show your team support

but I just bought a pair of Red Wing boots so I suppose I should be a Red Wings fan now.

And I realize I didn't mention it but I was on this Quiz Bowl team

3rd leading scorer, and we always lost in the finals every year to a one-handed genius. We didn’t lose to his team… we lost to HIM, because he outscored everyone on his own.

Is he a serial killer these days?

Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms.

by kevin_ess on Oct 9, 2008 9:22 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

That would be hilarious, but doubtful

I think he’s a lawyer or an engineer. Haven’t checked on him lately.

by Gomez on Oct 9, 2008 9:24 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Go obtuse and root for the football Cardinals.

You should try loading it in Chrome.

Chrome already doesn’t handle gifs well.

I can’t even go in it over my remote desktop connection. Just like I can’t play fantastic contraption until I get home.

It's still loading...

I think I’m going on 20 minutes now…

by Phildopip on Oct 9, 2008 7:49 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

And it's done loading.

25 minutes to load that page.

by Phildopip on Oct 9, 2008 7:55 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

It tried to crash my laptop

I finally just ditched the page and hit ESC when I reloaded it.

I pretty much remember all the GIFs in question anyway.

Free Strasburg?

Is he imprisoned somewhere?

by pdb on Oct 9, 2008 7:49 AM PDT   0 recs

With a purchase of a frogurt.

But the Strasburg is cursed.

by Phildopip on Oct 9, 2008 7:51 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

That's a wounded meme.

that’s bad.

I believe that joke was the very first Simpsons

dialogue I memorized. Ah, to be ten again…

by Liebkartoffel on Oct 9, 2008 8:38 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Then I trust you've seen

this little tool?

Glad I could help.

I find that thing good for things like stocking stuffers around the holidays or random small gifts for people.

Heh.

This image is from a “robotic cat door”. I love how the cat is obviously photoshopped into the picture, and looks terrified:

by Phildopip on Oct 9, 2008 7:51 AM PDT   0 recs

Those things are scary to cats.

We turned off the robotic part when the cat would have nothing to do with it.

Why in the world

is a robotic cat door necessary? As far as I’m aware, cat door technology has pretty much been perfected.

Are we going back in time now?

Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms.

I'd just as soon we didn't

we don’t want to oversaturate the brand.

I may be an idiot

but I’m no Steve Dilbeck. This guy sets the standard.

........
Fun, are you kidding me? This would be a Robin Williams-Chris Rock-Bill Murray-Will Smith extravaganza.

How old is this guy? None of these people have been funny in years

by seattlebruin on Oct 9, 2008 8:27 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I just tried to watch the latest Chris Rock HBO special

and it was really quite unfunny. It wasn’t as unfunny as Robin Williams, but it was still pretty bad.

by pdb on Oct 9, 2008 8:28 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

This is indeed true.

Robin Williams is painfully unfunny – this special was just pretty dull. It was a lot of Chris Rock strutting around a stage and REEEEEEEEEEALLLLY DRAAAAAAAAAAAAWIN’ OOOOOOOOOUT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLL HIS WOOOOOOOOOOOOORDS and then grinning maniacally. I gave up after about 10 minutes when he didn’t manage to tell one single joke.
