I figured that you moved in with Catija and her family and that you were living on their couch or something :P

@AnkitSharma I am confused pretty much every day...that's without the alcohol. Just sayin' ;)

@NogShine HELLO MY INTERNET FRIEND!!!

@Walt Although ER was around my time, I never really watched it. Maybe the first couple of seasons off and on. I remember still being in High School when it first aired.

Nog Shine

@steelersquirrel HELLO!!

How's it going?

Ankit Sharma

@steelersquirrel because Sheldon lives there and I Young Sheldon for a time being

steelersquirrel

@Walt Yeah...and what's with Junior and all of the JFK references? Is that just him talking crazy or are they insinuating that he had something to do with the assassination?

@NogShine I am good! How are you?

Ankit Sharma

@steelersquirrel and smelling Ben’s head :p

steelersquirrel

@AnkitSharma See! Here you are telling me that you're still in India and stuff...pfft! ;)

Ankit Sharma

2:12 AM

I am going to a waterfall \o/

steelersquirrel

Woot!

Waterfalls are the best!

Especially when there is a rainbow on one!

Nog Shine

@AnkitSharma woot

@steelersquirrel I am fine as well.

steelersquirrel

:)

Nog Shine

@AnkitSharma Which one?

What is the smell of babies' head like?

steelersquirrel

It is the most awesome smell in the world! There is no way to describe it!

It's the smell of innocence, freshness and sweetness all rolled into one :)

@Catija You didn't make a sand home?

@AnkitSharma ^^

Had to remove previous one cause it had a swear word. :/

Got sick of seeing Thanos memes everywhere

@AnkitSharma well, he is boring.

Walt

8:41 AM

@steelersquirrel I think the implication's simply that the Italian Americans of his generation loved JFK because he was Catholic.

@steelersquirrel I see. It's just a little surprising, seeing that you like Seinfeld so much (they were kind of inseparable back then). And ended up being a nurse. Who frequently confirms that real-life ER is one big soap opera. ;)

Q: What is in Sheldon's room on his wall?

Hi guys, Season 1, episode 15. Leonard tries to talk to Sheldon to persuade him that he is a suitable mate for Sheldon's sister. The scene is taken in Sheldon's room. What is that object on the wall over Sheldon's right shoulder? It looks like it moves and there could be some sort of connector?...

A J

@Mithrandir Bingo!!

How come @Walt didn't get that? ;)

A J

9:51 AM

@Mithrandir Another one. There is a door locked in front of me and I have to enter a password to open it. There is no clue but a paper saying "password: 12345678". I entered that password, but it was wrong and now I have only one attempt left. Which password should I enter to open that door?

Nog Shine

@AJ my answer is right. Not yours :P

A J

@NogShine hmm

@NogShine Mah riddle mah rulez. :P

Walt

@AJ 2444666668888888? :P

A J

@Walt Great!!! I never doubt your intelligence. :P

@Walt Anyway, what's up? How's life?

Too busy??

Nah. You shouldn't be. It's Sunday. ;-)

@Walt Another one. What's the best place to shop soccer shirts?

Walt

@AJ Nah, I just knew that one.

@AJ No rest fo the ubiquitous. :(

A J

10:03 AM

@Walt Oh. LOL.

@Walt Huh? Why?

Walt

@AJ Jersey?

A J

Wrong. New Jersey. :P

Walt

@AJ You should've asked steelersquirrel, she knows all about it now ;)

A J

haha

Walt

Someone's jonesing for Puzzling, I see

A J

10:07 AM

LOL.

I was reading some jokes and thought to turn them into puzzles. ;)

Walt

@AJ Makes sense. Sometimes the only difference between them is a question mark

A J

> I need a new bank account. The current one has run out of money

@Walt yep, exactly.

Walt

@AJ Why not pitch a jokes.SE then, based on that notion :P

A J

I am afraid that it will be closed after accusing me of death of many users from laughter. ;)

Walt

I actually searched for one on the list just now ;)

Memes and Social Phenomena

Proposed Q&A site for questions and answers regarding origins, meanings, and spread of cultural memes and social phenomena of all forms.

Currently in definition.

A similar one

JAD

I'm fairly sure that's about the phenomenon, not a platform for sharing memes

Else I can see that being nuked fairly quickly

A J

Yeah, I know. But Jokes.SE would be the same.

Walt

Hmmf, and now that I look at it, it seems our numbers are a bit down. I know I'm not one to talk, but let's ask more questions, people

A J

pretty much.

JAD

I can see MemesSE being abused quite a bit

A J

10:13 AM

@Walt and spread the word.

Walt

@AJ We could also maybe have a crossover challenge, if that's possible

A J

@JAD I doubt it'd flourish, but let's see.

Walt

Like food in cinema, and invite the Seasoned Advice folks to participate

A J

@Walt Yes, yes.

JAD

Why is popcorn at movies so prohibitly expensive?

(because they can)

Walt

10:15 AM

@JAD Yeah, because markup

A J

lol

Even a coffee is 150 INR ($3) which is just taken from a machine. I can make a better coffee than that one.

JAD

My brother used to work at a cinema, he said the cost of a bin of popcorn was in the order of cents

Walt

Anyway, back to the omnipresent grind. :(

A J

ohh

Walt

Catch ya later

A J

10:17 AM

Sure. See ya

JAD

oddly enough, he also mentioned that it was company policy not to check bags

so smuggling stuff into the theatre is pretty easy

A J

@Walt I now know how to summon ya without watching Sopranos. ;-) cc @steelersquirrel

@JAD I sneaked chocolates, candies, cookies and a water bottle into a cinema at the cost of keeping my lunch box out. ;)

And that one was caught because it was warm.

That guard was like "its warm. must contain lunch. I have to keep it and you may go". I said it shouldn't be empty it when I come back.

I have a meme. let me check

JAD

Well, here they don't even check

Employees are not allowed to search bags

Basically, might offend customers. They make enough off the people that do buy stuff there, so they don't care

A J

@JAD I don't know, but here they do check. Sometimes, frisking.

> Guard: What's that in your pocket?
Customer: A gun.
Guard: In the other pocket?
Customer: Chips.
Guard: Sir, you cannot take chips into the theater. You will have to keep them outside.

JAD

10:33 AM

hmm interesting. Quantum computing went into private beta. And from the looks of it, they already have a design :o

A J

O.o

Nog Shine

o.O

I think it is the new design SE is trying

> sponsored by Strange Works

That might be the reason too.

A J

It's possible.

> What's the difference between a bird and a fly?

JAD

@NogShine that's what I thought

Nog Shine

> Why doesn't a ship sink in water but a stone does?

JAD

10:39 AM

ships aren't made of stone

Nog Shine

@AJ a bird can fly but a fly can't bird

xD

A J

@NogShine hmm

Whats the difference between a knitting machine and a knotting machine?

A J

JAD

A knitting machine can knit, but a knotting machine can knot

A J

10:51 AM

Lol

JAD

However, what is the similarity between a knitting machine and a knotting machine?

A J

You tell me

JAD

A knotting machine can knot, and a knitting machine cannot

Q: Is "Locked Up Abroad" filmed at real locations?

The show Locked Up Abroad features realistic scenes of foreign jails and police stations in dangerous countries like Venezuela. I know it is expensive to film on location, and getting a film crew into barios and prisons in places like Nicaragua and Venezuela would seem to be difficult and dangero...

A J

@steelersquirrel You should've told me. I am doubting Napoleon for no reason. ;)

Q: Why is Travis Bickle from "Taxi Driver" such a strange guy?

Anytime I read an article about 'Taxi Driver' on the web, I feel like there's always a couple of things that attribute to Travis Bickles persona that nobody mentions.
