The Bridge

Hooker is one of the positions in rugby league football. Usually wearing jersey number 9, the hooker is one of the team's forwards. During scrums the hooker plays in the front row, and the position's name comes from their historic role of 'hooking' or 'raking' the ball back with the foot. For this reason the hooker is sometimes referred to as the rake. Hookers have a great deal of contact with the ball, as they usually play the role of acting halfback or dummy half, picking the ball up from the play-the-ball that follows a tackle. Hookers therefore have a lot of responsibility in that they...

I'm at quite an early stage of the game in terms of power generation but I have (possibly unwisely) started making Applied Energistics equipment as I really want to use it to manage the masses of storage I have not yet got a purpose for.

my edits are professional and sneaky - the best kind of edits

I swoop in with seconds left on the timer and change the meaning entirely

swooping in with seconds left on the timer always makes a good spectator sport

And then you fall asleep on the desk and forget to press Return.

Oh man, this is a thing that exists

What a deal!

kalina

@YiJiang'sEvilClone ZOMG BUYS

FEichinger

ERMERGERD! How can anyone resist this offer?!

At least ... shipping's free, I guess?

kalina

@FEichinger shipping is $0.10 more expensive than usual

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Yeah, the free shipping makes this cheaper than buying from Amazon

Actually, I just did the math

The price is the same

Approximately. Amazon is slightly more expensive, but only by a hair

kalina

9:45 AM

hair can be quite expensive

fredley

@kalina But a single hair?

kalina

depends how long said single strand of hair is

it could be very healthy and strong hair, that is 3ft long

that makes a perfect garrote

well, probably not

incidentally I could be bordering on delirious after overdosing on skittles

eugh, I just proclaimed to the office that I'm ill and currently can't taste anything

one of them came back with "so it's fair to say you have no sense of taste currently?"

and another said "well that explains why you look like you got dragged through a hedge backwards today..."

they're making fun of me, do something

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

So. Not really a vegetarian then

kalina

no I'm not a vegetarian, I was being a vegetarian for my new years resolution

well, I wasn't even being a vegetarian then

I just wasn't eating meat

I like fruit pastilles, you obviously don't know much about vegetarianism

although apparently I would have been able to eat skittles as a true vegetarian

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

What's wrong with Skittles?

what I want to know

djsmiley2k

no

how did they find out about milk.

fredley

10:05 AM

@kalina Cheese mystifies me more than anything

"Lets leave some milk for ages, then try eating it"

djsmiley2k

@fredley cheese is pretty obvious

it just kinda happened

someone left some milk out.

But "I know, those things hanging down from that cow, I'm a try sucking on them!"

OOOOooo it's good!

How does that happen?

@djsmiley2k Why would you even try eating the yellowy, rancid, smelly, rotted bovine lactate?

djsmiley2k

it looked nice?

best case scenario

chicken AND bacon with cheese in a baguette

bad news though, I can't smell it

so this is probably not going to be as nice as it could have been
