My favorite part was @SonicTheHedgehog asking about a favorite word. I said bubble. CR decided to negate that.
The best of both worlds!
@tchrist Bleh.
@simchona yah, made me reconsider doling out only one nutjob tag
This real?
I really do wonder why he dislikes me so much, though. He's been adamant about it for the past few days
No, it's a photo.
@Reg must you be so realistic? sighs
Cool.
02:04
@simchona I said a few nice things to you and iCarlo thinks we're thick as thieves. Well, that's paranoia for you.
So. Where's other candidates? Everyone still alive?
@simchona Ignore.
persecution complex, actually, but that's not so easy to joke at.
Too bad Evan doesn't want to continue our discussion here.
I wish we could elect 5 mods, instead of 2.
I feel so bad not voting others... yet all of them is enticing.
02:05
Where do I vote?
@Cerberus 🙊
@Robusto We'd better make good on that, then. Friendship bracelets?
tats
@Cerberus But there must be some reason behind it, I hope
02:06
@simchona BFFs.
@tchrist I can't see that...
I want bracelets.
@SonicTheHedgehog You can be a BFF with us too
@simchona It seems a bit random.
@sim sure. XD
I noticed that Robusto was not as energetic as last Town Hall meeting.
02:08
@RegDwightАΑA Did our pornster think the cats were away?
I'm sorry y'all felt it was boring. I'm just a middle of the roader. I didn't find anything to be particularly noteworthy.
@KitFox That is good.
Boring is good.
@KitFox Personally, I'd love if you were mod.
Why is that?
It's boring, but it is a good thing.
02:09
You've been nice to me since I came here
I don't want non-consensual candidates.
And I've seen you the same way with others
The only way I could think of getting all those closed questions off the front page is having enough 20kers to delete them quickly. But it still looks bad.
Agreed.
Maybe just leave them open until they are on the second page.
Broken windows.
02:10
As long as you keep walking past open windows...
@tchrist Ah, but you know what happened to Stapel.
no what?
He was outed as a big fraud.
He was one of the major proponents of the theory.
Which theory?
Now we have an RFP on tweet punctation. [sic]
02:14
The broken-windows theory.
@tchrist just a coincidence, I think.
you mean it's wrong?
I didn't have time to read his story this time. Sniff.
By the way, I have sad news: David says he will leave the SE rooms indefinitely.
He said that a week ago.
02:15
@Cerberus Did he say why?
No, alas.
hasn't been around.
We know his email.
@RegDwightАΑA He sent me an e-mail tonight saying that he will not return.
02:16
Ah. I see.
David Wallace?
@Cerberus I find this a little odd, to be honest.
> It looks like my absence from the SE chat rooms will be permanent. I will greatly miss you, and many of the other regular participants.
Did you notice that there was a running tally of this chat room in the Town meeting chat room?
Yeah, why. He just left in the middle of a conversation. Didn't even pack his stuff.
02:16
@Mahnax We all do.
I don't.
I checked if someone offended him, but I saw nothing.
@KitFox And why is that?
@RegDwightАΑA I think I'll take another look myself.
@RegDwightАΑA It's not that.
Some of us suspected something was up with him.
02:17
But he won't say what it is exactly.
@Mitch That was the whole point of my backchannel chatter.
@Mitch you mean on the right hand side above the starred list? That's just how chat works.
@KitFox I see.
@KitFox But not like this, so suddenly.
oh. and now I notice the town hall chat here too.
neat.
02:18
You can log in into OVER 9000 rooms and they will all be listed.
Wait, so let me get this straight; is it David Wallace or someone else named David?
They heard that you liek to read, so they gave you something to read while you read.
I -love- this technology thing.
@SonicTheHedgehog the former.
@Reg ...the former?
02:19
@SonicTheHedgehog It is he.
Yes.
@Cerberus Dude..I was there the whole time.
@SonicTheHedgehog sorry, the question about former vs. latter got deleted. Try ELL.
02:20
@Mitch Ohh...
And it wasn't even me.
I didn't see you!
Quiet like a cat, a spring leaf in the shadows.
pounces
I know you're neither a cat nor quiet.
Not again...
02:22
What?
points at the list of users.
The Purple One.

Q: Rosie the Riveter

DenisI have read that Rosie the Riveter is a symbol of the American woman who worked in factories instead of men during the Second World War. Is this expression still in use nowadays? I mean, do ordinary (American, in particular) people know who is it? Does it preserve its meaning?

Even I know who Rosie is.
@Reg who is Rosie?
@RegDwightАΑA Never heard of it, but OK.
02:23
@SonicTheHedgehog She's the riveter.
That does look familiar.
I have that in postcard format, framed and on my desk.
@Reg Ahh, I always wondered what her name was...
It's an icon.
My Social Studies teacher has a poster of her on his door.
02:24
@RegDwightАΑA Never underestimate the stupidity or ignorance of the general public. It’s a sucker bet.
She might consider wearing less make-up at work and a baggier over-all.
Finally, I can eat dinner.
@Sim What are you eating?
@tchrist Oh I wasn't underestimating. I won't be caught dead underestimating that. I was just stating a fact about myself. :P
02:25
Noobs?
Odds are that if you ask 100 21-year-olds who she is, you won’t get 21 correct answers. Be happy with 3.
Oh damn. All this eating talk. Nutella. You people are cruel. You know what? I'm making meself a Nutella sammich.
BBL
I already said noisette.
@RegDwightАΑA You also know who Yuri Gagarin is.
@Reg Mmm, Nutella. Never tasted it.
02:26
@SonicTheHedgehog You are missing out, son.
I don't eat those kind of food, remember?
Unless you are very lactose intolerant.
I eat bab, kimchie, noodles... etc.
After eating a Nutella sandwich I always look like I’m done up in blackface.
Baby.
02:28
@SonicTheHedgehog You should, though.
At least give Nutella a chance.
Nutella...totally overrated.
Could someone explain what was being the utilyti of the evente:
@Mah heard somewhere that Nutella was just as "bad" Butter.
@Carlo_R. That sentence offends me.
@SonicTheHedgehog Ye gods no.
02:29
@Carlo utilyti of the evente? Whats that? :P
@SonicTheHedgehog Food.
@SonicTheHedgehog Wot? Nay!
@Carlo_R. It was for questions to be asked of the moderators to help voters decide on them.
I thought it was to see how fast we could type.
Damn it.
@SonicTheHedgehog It's chocolatey nut spread! Like, come on!
02:29
@KitFox I think I lost.
@SonicTheHedgehog you don't want to treat Nutella like butter.
@Mahnax And delicious.
I meant to say "bad." Sorry about that.
@Mitch That sentence offends me.
02:29
as in, bad as butter.
@Carlo_R. It was not a campaigning event, though
@simchona Oh, yes.
@Cerberus I'm sorry. How does it offend you?
@simchona It wasn't a competition. It was a skills drill.
@Mahnax Couldn't let that part be forgotten
02:30
@Mitch It's Nutella, man!
@KitFox Prepping for the ELUlympics?
Eddie Cantor is Nutella-man.
And I.
All Hail the King, Baby!
02:31
@simchona Training for Operation Overlord.
@Cerberus Ohhh.. hilarious. I thought my explanation of the Town Hall chat was offensive (it may still well be).
Whit all these rooms I do not see a place wheremake the electoral campaigne
@Carlo_R. Pardon?
@Carlo ...what are you speaking in?
@Carlo_R.: my Nutella comment was facetious. I've been the main proponent of Nutella here.
02:32
@waiwai933 Yo. You are about to be replaced. Friendly heads up. Oh wait... nvm.
Hi @waiwai933
The Ferraro family personal heroes.
@SonicTheHedgehog Not replaced. Two new mods in addition, not in place.
Hi @waiwai933!
@Simchona huh???
02:33
When people can talking about candidatest.
@SonicTheHedgehog There will be a total of five mods--two new, three old. Waiwai is getting a new mod-sibling, not being replaced
@Simchona why didn't I know about this!?
@SonicTheHedgehog It was asked on Meta recently.
@SonicTheHedgehog You're not around often?

Q: HELP PLEASE DD:

Deana BatherOkay, well I know this guy.. let's name his uhh Kaoru. He started as an internet friend but started to like me deeply. I've thought about it and we are friends on 3 websites. I went to think more about it and I've been thinking of it as 'If it's fun, it's a game to me.' but he lives a bit far alo...

02:34
@Cerberus argh..gah..ach..I can't read. Can I take it all back?
Quick, before it's gone!
@Mitch I am not offended by trivial things.
thinking of no-trivial things
@Carlo_R. There really isn't campaigning right now. You've been making your opinions known in chat.
you know, for later
02:34
@Mitch As long as it isn't my Nutella you're taking back. eats cracker with Nutella
Nutella on a cracker? Why bother with the cracker.
@Sonic:

Q: Why are there only two moderator positions available?

LukeWell, we're in the primary phase of the election process, and I looked up at the positions available. I did a double take upon seeing that there were but two positions open. Now, every SE site that I've seen (as far as I can remember) has had three moderators. So then, why are there only two posi...

Somehow I like bread with Nutella. Crazy, I know.
Be nice, Sonic.
Like a dress on a beautiful maiden.
02:35
You'll just get flagged.
@Cerberus ’Tis the peanut butter that no jelly needeth.
@Mah Changed it.
@tchrist Is this in the American version of the Bible?
@Carlo_R.: The event was for asking questions of the nominees (for the voters knowledge of them). The -campaigning-..well...is there any thing other than the nominees statements? Anybody?
Bread is great, but crackers...like saltines?
Mmm, saltines.
02:37
I don't know what to call them in your language.
Mmm, sardines.
@Cerberus you mean -the- Bible?
I eat sixteen saltine crackers and I lick my fingers
da na na na
@Mitch Not really.
saltines are great with peanut butter.
02:38
Because life is precious. And God. And the Bible.
ducks out for a Nutella run
@Mitch I suppose.
but with nutella? sweet and salty? I don't know.
@Mitch adding "vote for freedom, vote for me!" to your answers. Also, questions and comments. And every chat post. VOTE FOR FREEDOM, VOTE FOR ME!
02:38
Night all. Good luck on the elections.
Like these.
I've actually only had Nutella three times.
Night Rob. VOTE FOR FREEDOM, VOTE FOR ME!
Don't mind the grubby stuff in the middle.
Night!
02:38
@Mahnax Blasphemy. Was it too religious an experience?
Good night @Rob!
@RegDwightАΑA OK OK I'll vote for you.
@simchona My mother refuses to buy it.
@Cerberus Those crackers look like graham crackers, to be honest.
@Mahnax Was it good? Did you tell your parents?
02:39
thinking maybe I won't
@RegDwightАΑA But you're already elected.
@SonicTheHedgehog No, not at all.
@Robusto Night.
@KitFox true. VOTE FOR FREEDOM, VOTE FOR ME!
@Cerberus No, I can't tell them! They'd kill me!
02:39
@RegDwightАΑA Needs more bold.
Ok, I have to sleep. I did undestang nothing, thught.In italy is 04:35. Furthermore from mai phome I have some difficult in chat. Goodnight everyone (except simchona)
@Cerberus Not crazy, it is good. Nutella is even better with pastry, and sometimes I have a spoonful by itself.
@RegDwightАΑA And more italics.
...Really? REALLY NOW?
@Mahnax (they come in little packets too, that you can hide from her. They never go bad.
02:40
@Carlo And I understood nothing from you.
@Carlo_R. Grow up, and good night.
@KitFox I only have fewer italics. VOTE FOR ME!
@SpareOom I agree about the spoon.
@Mitch Woah.
02:40
@RegDwightАΑA You mean less italics?
VOTE FOR FREEDOM!
@Cerberus now that is overrated. Unlike freedom and me.
@Cerberus oh yeah...totally...those work great with nutella (a little..um tasteless though)
@Mahnax I know, I guess it is a private experience, with whomever you experienced this special moment with.
Damn it. I'm infected.
Must drink more G&T.
Why does he hate me?
02:41
Why do you care?
He doesn't.
@sim Don't feel too bad.
I know I'm sounding like a prepubescent, but he keeps doing it
@RegDwightАΑA It is mostly cheap and it doesn't spoil. And it is quite good with Nutella, oddly.
@Mahnax but you have to go to like hotels and have their continental breakfast...but totally worth it.
02:41
@Mitch Perhaps those are not exactly the right kind.
@sim Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds.
I prefer my own freshly baked bread with Nutella.
I vote fou kit and for matt :5604435
@Mitch Hmm. I might be able to sneak an order of Nutella in with our next Sysco order at work…
@Cerberus Wasa is cheap? Well, it's cheaper than a freedom, I guess. But not cheaper than me!
02:42
@Carlo_R. I think we got it.
@Carlo ಠ_ಠ
@RegDwightАΑA German.
Gotta go in 18 minutes; Going for a walk before sleeping.
@Cerberus I'm faster.
02:42
Well, I'm not eating the real Wasa, but a cheap brand.
I have a quarter of a pint left but very little battery.
Like € 0,50 for a pack.
What a quandary.
@SpareOom there is no spoon. There is, however, freedom.
Oh, I had some good butter chicken the other day.
02:43
@Mahnax on the raft?
@RegDwightАΑA Nay. Nein.
@KitFox are you talking about Nutella or your car?
Oh what a terrible sight to see!
@Mitch Gin and tonic.
Hi-ho, chicken on a raft!
02:44
@Mitch Nutella AND the car.
@SpareOom Ohh you misspelled me. Haha, yes, that is the right size!
@SonicTheHedgehog In fact, forget about the car.
@Cerberus Sorry!
@KitFox but battery?
Better than assault.
02:44
@Mitch On my laptop.
You need batteries.
Hi @Neil!
@Kitfox - Heya.
@NeilFein How do you feel about what I've done to your chat room?
@Neil never seen you; Come here often?
02:45
@SpareOom It's OK, it was the right case in Latin. If I had been plural.
If you wish, tomorrove I can explain you in private chat what simchon is against me. :5604422
@Kit what did you do now...
And what are you doing drinking at this hour?
@simchona Quite obvious to me too, and I don't even know what's going on.
@SonicTheHedgehog - Once in a while, not often.
02:45
@Carlo I doubt anybody would come.
@Carlo_R. There's no private chat on SE, unless you're a mod
@SonicTheHedgehog I would.
@Cerberus Then I'll use the excuse that the 3 heads confused me as to whether to use the singular or plural.
I understand.
@Carlo, Let me tell you something.
02:46
Battle of the beasts.
@carlo I am a professional Troll, believe it or not.
*fantastic creatures
@SpareOom plural? Certainly you mean trial?
@Carlo We can have a go somewhere, if you have any balls.
No sex in this room.
02:47
I and You are enoug to make a clarifition for the well site.:5604530
It is more polite to put "you" first.
That I imagine
Details matter.
@waiwai933 - FYI, this question that you guys migrated to Writers? Not a good question there, we closed it.
02:47
@Carlo_R. That you imagine.
Lol.
Feel free to ping us anytime to check, we don't bite. :)
@RegDwightАΑA You're a trial.
@Carlo I could manure my garden with contents of what you imagine.
@NeilFein Hurrah! For once, I'm not at fault!
@Kitfox - ?
02:48
@RegDwightАΑA Thanks for the new term. (New to me.)
@Carlo_R. Huh?
@RegDwightАΑA - You are always at fault for everything.
That's why we need more mods. More mods, less (@Kit) questions migrated by me.
I needed to go out and get coffee because we ran out. That's your fault, too. :)
Frigging owl.
02:49
whooooooo
You don't want to be pinged, @KitFox?
I see. Everything is Reg's fault.
@NeilFein The Tuesday chat? You OK with what I did there?
@NeilFein That indeed is true. I hate coffee. Violently. I punch him in the face every time I see him. Also, in his absence.
Tommorro i am free for all day. :5604577
02:50
@KitFox - Hold on, scrolling back
@Carlo_R. so am I. Do you like turtles?
@RegDwightАΑA Seven.
Quake at the might of the RegDwight, Carlo.
Looks like you had people chatting. No worries. It's also not my chat, it's more like I'm the guy who scheduled it, is all. Looks good!
Hower from my phon it is impossible contie thi comverstion.
4
02:51
Indeed.
I doubt it needs to be continued.
@NeilFein You're a mod on the site though. I feel like I should ask permission. I posted it on Meta in any case.
@Carlo: I don't know whom you're trying to address, but those numbers only work at the start of your lines.
I see talk of prompts and narrative logic
phone is hard to type on.
02:52
and other cool stuff.
@Mitch Unless its Android.
Or SmartPhone.
Chat is a freeform thing, it's all good.
I thought it might help. It's my little contribution.
Really? bigger screens/keyboards?
@Carlo_R. You honour the maxim of this room excessively, this is just too much!
02:53
@Carlo_R. I would appreciate if you would tell me why you're campaigning against me
Rather vigorously
@Kitfox - And the community taking charge and setting up events with writing prompts is an awesome thing.
I don't think you need to show your appreciation so vigorously...
@Cerberus I can bold things too, if you like
A coy smile will do.
You have oppressed my for long time.:5604676
02:54
how about a wink or a nod?
@Mitch Nudge nudge, wink wink?
@Carlo_R. Ok, how.
@Carlo Why is your phone RTL?
@simchona Bold things...if you insist?
I have no idea what you guys are talking about...
@Carlo_R. I don't think simchona is singling you out.
02:55
@RegDwightАΑA Italy switched from Berlu to Monti.
@SonicTheHedgehog then you've got it.
@Mitch Huzzah.
Good night!
@Cerberus Ohhhh! Clever jokes! Sophisticated puns! Where do you think you are?
@Kit Night.
02:55
Good Night!
My phone is chinese phone (30 dollar) in italy
@Reg Martha should be here, giving thawcks.
@RegDwightАΑA No Martha in sight...
@Carlo_R. Italy has left the Euro zone? Phew!
@Carlo_R. Haha seriously, that is so funny.
02:56
@Reg Greece, on the other hand, have not.
Italy lead by example.
So the phone is to blame for all the Chinglish.
Going to rain in my area.
Strength 30%, Area 30.3%
Right. Where is the rain you promised, @Cerberus?
It's gone already.
02:57
Got Rain Alarm Extension installed. You can't fool me, Cerberus.
@Carlo_R. I still await your answer
@Cerberus yes, and I'm still waiting for it.
@SonicTheHedgehog Well, I've got Buienalarm, so boo hoo!
The problem is that on the monitor everyting flow.
I gotta go. Cya all.
02:58
Why do you use up all the rain? You no enough wet under sea level?
CU Sonic.
@RegDwightАΑA Have you prayed? Danced?
"Wynken, Blynken, and Nod" is a popular poem for children written by American writer and poet Eugene Field and published on March 9, 1889. The original title was Dutch Lullaby. The poem is a fantasy bed-time story of three dragonslayers sailing and fishing in the stars. Their boat is a wooden shoe. The fishermen symbolize a sleepy child's blinking eyes and nodding head. Text of poem Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night Sailed off in a wooden shoe — Sailed on a river of crystal light, Into a sea of dew. "Where are you going, and what do you wish?" The old moon asked the three. "We...

@Carlo_R. Still waiting.
Bye.
