« first day (1402 days earlier)      last day (3507 days later) » 

12:00 AM
@Cerberus But I prefer to ride in the morning rather than wait for the full warmth of the day.
@RegDwigнt A car is not ajar.
 
@Robusto Well, if you prefer it that way, then everything's in order.
 
But I want the day to be warm when I wish it to be warm.
 
@Robusto ajar is not a Binks.
 
That's . . . what . . . you . . . think.
 
@Robusto turn your AC to the 11. It heats the outside.
 
12:01 AM
This is too many for me.
 
Easy. Just divide it by DC.
 
AC/DC?
IC.

Catch (born Caroline Catherine Müller, 31 July 1964 in Oss, Netherlands) is a Dutch-born German pop singer, best known for her collaboration with Dieter Bohlen in the 1980s. == Early life == C.C. Catch was born in the Netherlands and moved to Germany in the 1970s with her family. She was supported by her parents from an early age, when they recognized her talent and encouraged her wish to be a famous singer. Her father was especially supportive and has played a very important role in her successful career as her manager and tour-manager. From an early age, the up-and-coming singer took part...
 
Carol Christine Hilaria Pounder (born December 25, 1952), known professionally as C. C. H. Pounder (styled "CCH Pounder"), is a Guyanese-born American film and television actress. She has appeared in numerous films, made-for-television films, television miniseries and plays, and has made guest appearances on notable television shows.

She starred in recurring roles as Mrs. Irene Frederic on the TV series Warehouse 13 until its series finale on...
She's Hilarious.
 
He's a sissy.
 
12:04 AM
What gave it away?
 
@Robusto stop poundering to her.
I wonder why I first searched for Denver Clan. I never watched that.
How could I have forgotten it was Monsanto Barbara.
 
We're wading through The Killing now. First two seasons were pretty good.
 
I tuned into a couple episodes of Weeds lately.
 
Season 3 was kind of a downer, but still interesting. Only one short season left.
 
I sort of shiver at the thought of having to sit through OVER 9000 episodes of anything anymore.
So basically it's True Detective time for me now, I guess.
 
12:06 AM
You haven't seen that yet?
Have you seen the Fargo series yet?
 
You already recommended it.
But they are doing a second season of both. What a treason.
 
I know. I'm asking if my recommendation yielded fruit yet.
But True Detective will not have Matthew and Woody back, and there will be a different story.
 
@Robusto It's been considered, for which you should ask on ELU for a proper way to thank me.
 
I've ruled out BJs.
 
You haven't ruled out DJanes.
 
12:09 AM
We actually have a discount/bulk store around here called—I kid you not—B.J.'s.
 
Ben and Jerry's.
 
I signed up before I realized it was just a bulk food store.
 
Well. BJs are quite about feeding.
 
Hey, @Cerberus. Stop looking at porn and get back in here.
 
You have to say it in Latin for it to work.
 
12:11 AM
Just a Latin from Manhattan.
 
@Robusto Okay, so you are happy that winter is coming.
@Robusto Scuse me!
 
I "have" happy?
 
You need my services?
 
@Robusto Don't get fooled by the rocks that she got. She's still from the Bronx.
 
@Cerberus How do you say "Get back in here" in Latin?

Bluffaloing if you feel like a room without a roofah.
 
Redi huc!
Return hither!
 
@RegDwigнt What's that hideous sex act named after a Dutchman? I misremember.
 
I read that as "Return hitler" and was confused.
 
@Cerberus Redi huc!
Redi or not, here i huc!
 
@Robusto the flying Dutchman.
@Robusto drink some water, or hold your breath. Or let someone scare you.
 
12:13 AM
Wait, I was thinking of a Dirty Sanchez. But I think there's a Dutch one as well.
 
Sirty Dutchess.
 
@Robusto Iam redii. Quid me iterum vocas?
 
@RegDwigнt There was no deposit on Hitler, so there will be no return.
@Cerberus What do I want to say back to you?
 
Why me again call?
 
Redi O'Head. A popular Irish band.
 
12:15 AM
You mean Ginger O'Head.
 
The -s in vocas is "you".
 
Brits won't understand you if you say Redi O'Head.
 
@Robusto No, I don't listen to Spice Girls. Anymore.
 
All the Spice Girls have decayed into Old Spice.
 
I don't know about any hideous sex acts...
 
12:16 AM
Old Spice is a prominent American brand of male grooming products. It is manufactured for Procter & Gamble, which acquired the brand in 1990 from Shulton, Inc. Shulton, Inc., the original producer of Old Spice, was founded in 1934 by William Lightfoot Schultz. The first Old Spice product was intended for women, introduced in 1937. Old Spice for men followed in 1938. The men's products were dominated by shaving soap and aftershave lotion, marketed with a nautical theme. Sailing ships in particular were used as a trademark. The original ships used on the packaging were the Grand Turk and the Friendship...
 
Are the Spice Girls the same age as the Backstreet Boys?
 
Posh Spice certainly has.
@Robusto why do you explain your jokes to us?
We know old spice.
 
Even I knew that.
 
The Spice Girls were a British pop girl group formed in 1994. The group consisted of five members, who each later adopted nicknames initially ascribed to them: Melanie Brown ("Scary Spice"), Melanie Chisholm ("Sporty Spice"), Emma Bunton ("Baby Spice"), Geri Halliwell ("Ginger Spice"), and Victoria Beckham, née Adams ("Posh Spice"). They were signed to Virgin Records and released their debut single "Wannabe" in 1996, which hit number one in more than 30 countries and helped establish the group as a global phenomenon. Credited for being the pioneers that paved the way for the commercial breakthrough...
 
And I know little.

I actually haven't seen Old Spice anywhere for like two decades. What ever happened to it?
 
@Cerberus Fine. I misjudged the audience. Sosiouxme.
 
Aug 20 at 15:25, by RegDwigнt
They went straight from "a commercial every five minutes" to complete nonexistence except as tired references on third-grade shows.
 
@Robusto First time.
 
Why don't you take some Tesafilm and stick that on your fridge?
 
Because I use Scotch for that.
 
12:17 AM
No you don't either.
 
3M?
 
You have no Scotch tape in your flat.
 
Your kitchen must be messy.
No, he meant whiskey.
 
@Robusto in point of fact that's what duct tape is called in Russian. Scotch.
 
Really?
 
12:18 AM
And I am having a déjà vu.
 
I think we call it klussentape.
Funny.

In the bathroom of romance there's a rock band playing, people swaying to the beat, swaying in the heat. In the corner over there by the door is a local casanova, yelling for another double scotch.
Клейкая лента, или скотч — применяемая в быту и на производстве плёночная лента с клеевым покрытием, технологически использующая физическое явление адгезии. Выпускается, как правило, в форме рулона с внешней неклеевой поверхностью, гораздо реже — с двусторонним нанесением клея. Используется для склеивания предметов вместе, а также защитного или декоративного покрытия предметов. Клейкость зависит от толщины клеевого слоя (10-30 мкм); клей бывает акриловый или каучуковый. Он наносится на пленку из разного материала — фольги, бумаги, полиэтиленовой плёнки, плёнки ПВХ и др., скотчем обычно называют…
 
@RegDwigнt I didn't know Russians drank duct tape. But now that you say it, it makes sense.
 
That's what you get when every second word in your language has to stand for alcoholic beverage, even if you really mean duct tape.
 
The French glue things to their fridges with tapenade.
 
12:23 AM
The Swiss, with Ovomaltine.
 
I wax weary.
 
And weak.
Over many a quaint and curious volume of ELU.
 
Christ, it's only 8:30 (20:30 in metric) here. Why the fuck am I yawning?
 
Because I just did, and yawning is contagious.
It is objectively worse than ebola in that regard.
 
@RegDwigнt Wait, that's only или скотч — "or" scotch. So not the primary meaning. I still remember some Russian.
 
12:27 AM
First off, you mean not not the primary meaning, but not the primary term.
Second off, this is like the Wikipedia article on kleenex being titled whatever.
But nobody actually says "give me whatever". They actually say "give me a kleenex".
Cue to the E to the Puff D.
 
@RegDwigнt Some people ask for a tissue.
 
Some people have an issue.
 
That is a tissue of lies.
 
Also, unlike yourself, Robusto is both used and immune to my broken metamphores.
 
Phrases like "give me a kleenex" run the risk of failing in locales where the brand hasn't been genericized.
 
12:30 AM
@RegDwigнt What is "ili"? "Aka"?
But it's funny.
 
I admit I didn't read the convo for context.
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 same with scotch. No really, try it outside of Russia.
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 I bravely run that risk quite often.
 
@Robusto You're as brave as Brave Sir Robin
 
@Cerberus or.
 
12:30 AM
Ah OK.
Well, it's nice.
 
I only ever posted the Wiki link because it would get inlined. I'd much rather have went with Wiktionary instead.

@RegDwigнt Wait, that's only или скотч — "or" scotch. So not the primary meaning. I still remember some Russian.
You didn't even read what I said.
 
I am still happy every time I see a correctly matched image in a Wiki one-box btw.
 
= Русский = === Морфологические и синтаксические свойства === скотч Существительное, неодушевлённое, мужской род, 2-е склонение (тип склонения 4a по классификации А. Зализняка). Корень: -скотч-. === Произношение === === Семантические свойства === ==== Значение ==== книжн. шотландский ви́ски ◆ Там я откупорил бутылку шотландского виски (перед скотчем она никогда не могла устоять).

Максим Вары...
Oh hey.
Wiktionary gets inlined, too.
When did that happen.
 
@Robusto I don't read chat logs, you know that! And I didn't know you knew Russian!
@RegDwigнt Hmm you have a memory. I wouldn't know.
 
12:32 AM
@Cerberus I don't. I only took one year of it in high school.
 
That counts.
I took zero years in high school.
 
@Robusto Or scotch. That must be one of your favorite phrases.
 
And double that at university.
 
I don't even remember how to count. Odin, dva, tree, cheteri, pyat . . .
Wevs.
 
Duct tape or no scotch at all. Wimps and posers, leave the hall.
 
12:33 AM
Funny, odin?
 
You're funny.
 
Odin was no laughing matter.
 
The Polish say jeden. Which is German for everyone. Which is like the opposite of one.
 
By the way, who was it again who didn't think religion was slowly but steadily declining in the world?
 
Everyone in the Bible Belt.
 
12:33 AM
Some religious nut.
 
Jinxish.
 
Sorry, I meant jeden in the Bible Belt.
 
Not saying this poll is super reliable, and it is a very short term, but still.
 
That chart has no religion. It does show a decline of Nigeria, though.
 
@Cerberus I don't get what the lines mean.
 
@RegDwigнt I don't understand.
 
There are gray lines and orange lines. What's up with that?
 
They mean "our pie charts are even better".
 
The grey lines show an increase in religiosity.
Red a decline.
 
12:35 AM
That's the best result when I GIS "duct tape shot glass"
 
@Cerberus I see no line for religion. I see line for Nigeria. I explain comment for free. I explain next comment for tri. Tausend dollars.
 
The Internet has failed me.
 
@RegDwigнt Have you read the entire picture?
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 You should have searched the Runet. Duh.
@Cerberus I don't read pictures. Talk about missing the whole point of pictures.
 
12:37 AM
@Cerberus So religiosity is declining and increasing at the same time?
 
I think at this point I will join Rob in asking you to stop looking at porn.
Clearly you're not paying enough attention here.
 
@Robusto It's like Global Warming. Even though it's getting warmer, it still feels colder.
 
@Robusto Yes, it varies per country. But it is decreasing in more countries, and the decrease is faster in most of those countries, look at the angles.
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 "Warm brother" is German for "faggot".
 
12:38 AM
Don't look at the angels! They are really demons
@RegDwigнt You're joking.
 
@Cerberus It's a messy chart. You should admit that situation.
 
Schwul is not entirely the same as warm!
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 why would I.
 
@RegDwigнt I guess.
 
@Robusto Um I honestly have no problem with it.
 
12:38 AM
Go Google-Image-Search for "warmer Bruder".
 
Oh, they actually use the German word "warm"?
Connected with "schwul"?
 
In German, warm means war only with an m.
 
No, it's an arm broken three times.
 
Der wärmt.
 
12:40 AM
@RegDwigнt So, I see... some pictures of guys I don't know. Some pictures of toy trucks. A picture of two men kissing, but it looks photoshopped. A priest.
 
@Robusto So does scotch. Of both kinds.
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 enable non-safe search. Or just follow the wiki link.
 
The big question is not whether Scotland will secede from England. It's whether Scotland will secede from Scotland.
 
@RegDwigнt I do enable non-safe-search.
 
14 hours ago, by RegDwigнt
You can get it if you really want. But you must try, try and try, try and try. You'll secede at last.
 
12:42 AM
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 holy moly, if you are that into looking at gays, there are easier ways for going about that, I will admit.
 
I didn't see any gay sex when I searched for "warmer Bruder" in Google Images.
 
I just misspole about as around. That's what happens when you drink scotch.
@Cerberus I repeat, if you are that desperate, I can suggest better terms.
 
I have to go all the way downstairs to get some scotch.
 
So Robusto keeps someone tied to a chair with scotch downstairs.
 
No. Glued. Please.
 
12:45 AM
@RegDwigнt You suggested we would see it.
It was only in your mind.
 
Oh FFS.
Why you make me go and search and post this?
There, enjoy.
 
That is neither sex nor sexy.
You should change your make-up style.
 
Off-topic because it is off-topic.
 
Less is more, they say.
 
Hey cut me some slack. Most of my makeup is spent on my mind.
Applied directly to the forehead.

@Kitḫ ok, true story time. Here where I work, the entire dev team is sorting user-submitted photos for a gay dating site, trying to remove the penises from the headshots. And my coworker is doing this while listening to the 10-hour loop of the what is love song. I think he will be insane when it's over.
 
Don't hurt me no more.
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Isn't a penis the whole point of a "head" shot? I mean, come on!
 
@Robusto It only took 3 years for someone to make that joke! applauds
 
Keep talking.
 
@Robusto That's not what that gun instructor got from the eight-year old girl.
 
12:48 AM
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Shoulda brought it to my attention sooner.
 
@Robusto I'm not usually in the habit of bringing gay porn to your attention. But hey, if you say so.
 
Why should you be the only one holding back on gay porn tonight?
 
Why do Americans say "gay"? I think it should be "wite", so I don't understand why they call it "gay".
 
Every time Germans go they geh.
 
Gähn.
 
12:50 AM
Garn.
 
gaying, gaying, gahn
 
Gay west, life is peaceful there.
 
The best-laid plans . . . gang aft a-gay.
OK, stop now. We're making @Cerberus uncomfortable.
 
That's After Eight in BrE.
And After is German for anal orifice.
 
Just like a Heinie.
 
12:52 AM
Hmm what?
 
Heinie Ken.
 
Der ist dein kalter Brüder.
 
I was gonna go to work but then I got gay. I just got a new promotion but I got gay. Now I'm selling dope and I know why: cause I got gay because I got gay because I got gay.
 
Y'all so gay.
Hey, I know that song.
 
Of course.
 
12:54 AM
I think it's old?
Not of course.
 
Of course of course.
 
I don't know songs.
 
I don't know that song
 
By the way, @Mr.ShinyandNew安宇, my condolences.
 
@Cerberus Hey! According to your chart, your country is getting more religioso.
 
12:55 AM
 
@Cerberus what about, rob ford dropping out?
 
@Robusto Yes, which is rather weird, because it really isn't.
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 I'm so sorry.
 
@RegDwigнt Where do you find all these crap songs to post? I mean, seriously.
 
@Robusto it's a site called YouTube. I'll show you some day.
 
@Cerberus lol, the news reached you already?!
 
12:56 AM
I just cast the finishing vote on about ten questions. My work here is done.
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 I read them earlier today.
 
@RegDwigнt WhoTube? MeTube?
 
Whatever Tube, just not Tubgirl.
 
A ceramic fixture for your bathroom: the YouTub. It comes with idiotic comments graffitoed right into the enamel.
 
Via Google+.
 
12:57 AM
The next iteration of which will be called, inevitably, Google++.
 
Okay, serious question: why the fuck am I listening to Afroman now? I'm not Mr Shiny.
 
@RegDwigнt Wow, never seen the video. And they censor it??
 
@RegDwigнt yeah I'm not even listening to it anymore
 
No one knows why Afroman has a hold on you.
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Yes, why are you surprised?
 
12:58 AM
 
@Cerberus I dunno. It isn't one of his insane moments.
 
@JohanLarsson: Heads up, Smokey in da house. ^

1:00 AM
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 I don't know, it was in the papers today.
Or at least on their website.
 
@Cerberus It only happened 8 hours ago
 
The fact that such a man could rise to such a position was apparently newsworthy enough.
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 that is pretty much exactly when I read it on Spiegel Online.
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Well, news travels the world instantly.
 
It just seems like a trivial thing to be reporting elsewhere.
But anyway the nightmare isn't over... his brother is running for mayor. It's Tweedledum instead of Tweedledee.
 
1:02 AM
@Cerberus Wait, you need to view the whole Rob Ford thing in the context of George W. Bush, who not only was a notorious cokehead but was literally felled by a pretzel.
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 I just read about his brother. Is he just as bad?
 
Now it's 3:02 Uhr.
That's exactly seven hours ago.
 
@Robusto Felled by a pretzel? I don't remember this incident?
 
@Cerberus He's worse, in some ways. A former drug dealer and total asshat, but without a drug-abuse problem that we know of.
 
1:03 AM
Hey, the guy's got cancer. You think he should run for mayor just to entertain you?
Literally.
 
I am disappointed that he's not running, because it means he won't be defeated in an election. That means that if he beats the cancer he will try to come back in 4 years.
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Do you think he stands a chance?
 
@Robusto People have died on stage to entertain Her Majesty.
It's a different culture.
 
@Cerberus Well, it's hard to say.
He polls worse than his brother, so that's good news.
 
@Robusto That's weird. Choking is bad for you!
 
1:05 AM
Don'tcha just love the way Germans sum people up in a single word? Skandalbürgermeister!
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Again, my condolences.
 
@Cerberus So was G. W. Bush.
 
True.
 
@Robusto Yeah that's a great word
 
You could say scandal mayor in English.
 
1:06 AM
It wouldn't be the same. Not as much shame.
 
But I guess it works better in German or even Dutch.
 
Also "burger meister" sounds like he eats a lot of burgers. Which he does. scandalously.
 
Even in Russian it's burgomistr. Get with the programme.
"Mayor" sounds like you were invaded by the French.
 
I wonder why.
Burg = city, fortress.
Hamburg = a city.
 
It also sounds like "major failure", except the failure is swept under the rug.
 
1:09 AM
hamburger = a sandwich
 
Burger = citizen, inhabitant of a burg.
Meister = master.
 
Yes I'm aware of all of this, cerb
 
@Cerberus Magister.
 
@RegDwigнt The failure is operated upon.
 
1:09 AM
@Robusto Yup directly related.
 
@RegDwigнt What's Ron Livingston doing in here?
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Just in case! For posterity?
 
@Robusto he's Burger. Carrie dumped him. As she did with everyone.
 
@RegDwigнt A friend of yours?
 
@Cerberus come on you know all about Sex and the City.
 
Do not!
 
GIS result for skandalburgermeister
 
I never watched Sex and the City very often.
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Excellent.
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 I don't know what to say.
 
1:11 AM
I know what to say and it's "excellent".
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 You make me want to stop wearing Canada as a hat.
 
At least they didn't include Alanis.
Or Avril.
Or Céline. shudders
 
@Cerberus But that you watched it at all is damning enough.
 
Well.
 
I specifically forced myself to watch it, like I would watch a documentary on some weird species. I figured, "know your foe". I figured, I could learn from it. And I did learn one important thing: Michael Patrik King is a douche.
 
1:14 AM
Sometimes it was amusing.
 
But that insight wasn't worth the trouble. Basically it was all just horrible, except with no Freddie Krueger.
 
I have seen worse.
The main character Carrie is extremely annoying, though.
 
Sep 9 at 15:00, by RegDwigнt
@Robusto I will have none of your relativism.
 
You said the same thing about the rain.
It had you in the end.
 
I always say the same thing. More often still, I just quote it.
 
1:17 AM
It's just a tab away anyway.
 
But it's π a.m. here, so I should be logging off.
Rob got lost downstairs in all the duct tape.
 
Is that a number?
In Russian?
 
True story: I watched a stupid quiz show the other night, with really easy questions, multiple-choice questions at that, and one of them was: what does π stand for? 1: Kreiszahl Pi 2: Sternzeichen Zwillinge 3: Chinesisches Zeichen für Liebe.
The question was asked of three celebrity contestants plus the audience of 200 students. Two of the three contestants and 40% of the audience got it wrong.
Oct 26 '12 at 13:54, by RegDwighт
As Lermontov once put it, "This would be funny, if only if it weren't so sad".
Good night.
 
Oh it was pi, why didn't you say so!
@RegDwigнt Funny that you should call it Kreiszahl in German.
I don't think we have a name for it.
 
By the way, they were no Kardashian kind of celebrities.
One was an actor. The other was a footballer, but actually knew absolutely everything and went on to win against the other two. The third one is a TV host now, but before that she was a commercial pilot for Lufthansa.
The footballer knew it was Pi. The actor guessed hanzi. The ex-pilot said Gemini.
I never flew with Lufthansa, good to know I should never do.
And don't get me started on the students. Even if you study philosophy, you're still fresh out of school where math is mandatory, and to a much higher level.
Oh well.
@Cerberus it's one of those names that are officially there but which nobody actually uses. I think this was literally the first time in twenty years that I have heard it again.
 
2:14 AM
@RegDwigнt Students of philosophy didn't know pi??
I guess fools are everywhere.
@RegDwigнt OK noted. Who knows, a similar word might exist in Dutch.
 
Everyone knows pi! It's taught in like grade 4 here

I have no idea what that means.
