I'm so tired. We're all sick here and noone slept right, so I'm skittering around trying to focus, like a coffee bean about to fall into the grinder.
I see you've grudgingly accepted the existence of hats but not stooped to wearing them with us, puppies?
 
@choster Wilkommen!
@aediaλ Poor you! Can't you grind bits of yourself and brew coffee from them, and drink it?
@aediaλ Hmm the existence of what?
 
@Cerberus Hehehe. Hahahahahaaaaats!
 
I merely vituperate against them...that's my way of acknowledging their existence.
Nooo...
 
The Google doodle is freaking me out.
 
I think I've reached the giggling at my own jokes stage of tired.
 
11:06 PM
@RegDwigнt The crossword?
Cerb is antamgonistic.
 
Excuse me?
 
@choster that's an impressive start. And a hat already. Now say nine more things and you'll get another.
 
Against hats.
 
@MετάEd wut?
It's knitting for me.
 
@RegDwigнt You are a purl among men.
 
11:08 PM
 
Oh um. That is kind of scary.
 
What you don't see is that it's animated. Psychedelically.
 
@RegDwigнt Must be a different locale. I get the crossword.
 
Yeah it searches for "Wintersonnenwende" for me.
What you got?
 
@RegDwigнt 100th anniversary of the crossword puzzle.
 
11:11 PM
That's a useful anniversary if there ever was one.
 
@RegDwigнt I get a live crossword puzzle.
 
They used to do a doodle a year for like Einstein and shit. Now it's winter solstice and 100 years of crosswords. Exemplary.
The raptchah is coming.
And just as I say that, Kit shows up.
 
@MετάEd I'm not done it yet! No spoilers!
 
Hi.
 
Hello Raptchah.
 
11:12 PM
Hola!
 
I went to bed like twenty minutes ago. I'm not here.
 
kisses
 
You missed Klaus Nomi, too.
He sang me a lullaby.
 
Aw, damn.
 
@RegDwigнt When do you go to the Google home page?
 
11:14 PM
47 mins ago, by RegDwigнt
 
I see that page perhaps three times a year.
 
@Cerberus I'm in Chrome. It's in every tab.
 
Did Kosmo like his subtitle tribute?
 
@RegDwigнt Jesus.
 
Oh.
We didn't even ask.
 
11:16 PM
I mean, Google.
 
And he didn't even notice.
But I'm really sleeping now.
CU all tomorrow.
 
And don't forget to post or vote on Christmas!
 
Hi @MattЭллен!
 
Night!
 
11:17 PM
hi @Kit :)
 
@RegDwigнt You make an awful lot of noise for a sleeper.
 
I've been playing super hexagon a lot
 
My boys and I were wondering if you have robins over there.

Kthx
 
11:18 PM
vicious, territorial, pretty little things

Robin McLaurin Williams (born July 21, 1951) is an American actor, voice actor, and stand-up comedian. Rising to fame with his role as the alien Mork in the TV series Mork & Mindy, Williams went on to establish a successful career in both stand-up comedy and feature film acting. His film career includes such acclaimed films as Good Morning, Vietnam (1987), Dead Poets Society (1989), Awakenings (1990), The Fisher King (1991), and Good Will Hunting (1997), as well as financial successes such as Popeye (1980), Hook (1991), Aladdin (1992), Mrs. Doubtfire (1993), Jumanji (1995), The Birdca...
Robin may refer to: Birds * European Robin (Erithacus rubecula) **Many members of the subfamily Saxicolinae (Old World chats) to which the robin belongs, including the two other members of the genus Erithacus, the bush-robins, white-throated robin, forest robins, Indian robin, and the magpie-robins * Some red-breasted New-World true thrushes (Turdus) of the family Turdidae, including: ** American Robin (T. migratorius) (so named by 1703) [http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=robin] - the state bird of Connecticut, Michigan and Wisconsin ** Rufous-collared Robin (T. rufitorques) ** R...
 
@MattЭллен like me.
 
The European Robin (Erithacus rubecula), most commonly known in Anglophone Europe simply as the Robin, is a small insectivorous passerine bird that was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family (Turdidae), but is now considered to be a chat. Around 12.5–14.0 cm (5.0–5.5 in) in length, the male and female are similar in colouration, with an orange breast and face lined with grey, brown upperparts and a whitish belly. It is found across Europe, east to Western Siberia and south to North Africa; it is sedentary in most of its range except the far north. The te...
@KitFox :D
perhaps
 
I have to switch to a proper puter. Brb

American robins look different
The American Robin (Turdus migratorius), also known as the robin, is a migratory songbird of the thrush family. It is named after the European Robin because of its reddish-orange breast, though the two species are not closely related, with the European robin belonging to the flycatcher family. The American Robin is widely distributed throughout North America, wintering from southern Canada to central Mexico and along the Pacific Coast. It is the state bird of Connecticut, Michigan, and Wisconsin. According to some sources, the American Robin ranks behind only the Red-winged Blackbird (a...
that's a British one
 
11:23 PM
Oh, not that much different than ours.
from ours, maybe I should say.
 
with their red breasts and all
 
Speaking of birds, we're getting a pair of cats for Christmas!
 
oh my!
more for your menagerie

Q: How widespread are snow goblins?

KitFoxI live in the Northeastern part of the US. We've had a lot of snow recently. Part of living in a snowy area is clearing the collected snow pack from the wheel well so that it doesn't interfere with driving. The snow is usually filthy and ice-coated from where the tires have kicked crud up from th...

This is not a duplicate. Come off it, people.
 
mmm, snow robins
 
11:30 PM
feels annoyed, goes to have drink
 
Well, I would vote to reopen, but I want someone else to so I can get one step closer to the robocop hat :p
 
Well, four other people would have to vote too, wouldn't they?
Did it queue? I edited it so it would.
 
yea, but the first reopne vote will get it in the queue
oh! I'll look
 
@MattЭллен I think everyone else is waiting for that, too. So this is how I become nobody (not everyone = no one, right?).
 
Hi!
@Matt, where's your hat?
 
11:33 PM
@KitFox not so far
 
Well, I'll give it a bit.
 
@MattЭллен You are wrong. That is a Dutch roodborstje, redbreastie.
 
@KitFox oh, I was experimenting to see if going hatless (i.e. running around naked) would get me Eureka!
 
I should be wrapping presents and readying the children for bed.
 
@Cerberus blame Wiki! it tells me that's the British variant, not the European one.
 
11:34 PM
@MattЭллен Hmm. I see.
 
@MattЭллен Oh...I thought they looked the same...
Perhaps I was wrong.
 
probably :D
 
Tsk.
 
@KitFox Or vice versa.
 
> The British subspecies, Erithacus rubecula melophilus, differs only slightly from Continental birds.
 
11:35 PM
I was trying to be funny, you see, by claiming as Dutch what I really thought to be common European.
 
ah! That did cross my mind, but you know us pedants will always correct before getting a joke
 
Of course, and I respect that.
 
bleh, it didn't turn up in the review queue either way
 
Maybe it needs more time.
 
What didn't?
 
11:37 PM
I think if you've already voted on it, it won't show up in the queue for you.
 
@Cerberus Kit's snow goblin question
@choster I hadn't but now I have, so it's too late
 
Thank you, sweetie.
Wow, I typoed that about six times.
 
Ah.
 
@KitFox can't wait for adorable cat pictures
 
good night to y'all
 
11:46 PM
Wait!
Do me a favor.
Please.

A: What does "P.U." (in reference to stinkiness) stand for?

KitFoxMy boys and I decided that p.u. stood for positively unpleasant. Of course, we have no source for this, and it is likely to become a folk etymology now.

Try 3 votes on this one. I have an idea.
Unless maybe someone tried that already?
Oh damn! Presents! Children! See you later!
 
tchuss‎
 
Tschüß!
 
Bless you.
Okay, I'm out too. Gotta eat and sleep before I wander around like a zombie any more.
 
Bye-bye!
