really tedious hymns at church
getting through them was a chore
nm, just saw your @ from earlier.
My teeth are showing.
what's that quote about smiles?
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 Nice win against them cryboys :-)
"Oh my God, sociability is just a big smile and a big smile is nothing but teeth" — Jack Kerouac
@cyberskull :D
It's our year!

36 mins ago, by KitFox
btw, you look cheerier, but it bothers me that you aren't centered.
You got distracted because of my last comment, I guess?
@KitFox I can center it.
36 mins ago, by KitFox
Also, it makes you look short because of the down angle.
You should tell Tim to scrunch down a bit.
And the concrete wall is a bit prison-ish.
Did I mention that you are one sexy lady?
Also, I am totally convinced that you could write some crisp, compelling copy for my website.
Jez
Jez
what picture is this?
('sexy lady' got me interested)
Oh just this portfolio of naked pictures of cornbread.
Well, "nudes" we'd call them in the industry.
Jez
Jez
15:15
public?
I'm pulling your leg.
Jez
Jez
hmm
that was actually plausible
All the cornbread I've seen comes in aluminum foil or cellophane wrapping. So does nude cornbread mean before it's baked ?
after it's unwrapped
Jez
Jez
15:17
@MattЭллен is that SFW?
Yes.
@Jez depends on your workplace.
Jez
Jez
oh...
So, that would be denuded cornbread, Cornbread?
Totally nude nudes.
15:18
cash4nudes.com
Yikes, I'm not sure that's eatable, is it ? Is it FDA approved ?
do you have any nudes lying about the place?
Jez
Jez
i dont get it, was kit referring to someone's avatar?
Need some cash quickly?
Only baked goods, laying around, it seems.
15:20
@Jez I'm guessing Cornbread sent Kit a photo
Or did he send Kit unleavened or yeasted breads ?
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be mysterious. Corny sent me a pic she is thinking of using for her profile on a professional site.
Jez
Jez
can i see?
(or She, sorry Cornbread :)
Ah, too bad, Kit - mysterious was more fun - or at least food obscure.
Oh spinach salad, shake, shake with fear for the doom that will befall you.
Plucked fresh from the salad bar, dressed in your finest, you are magnificent in your defeat.
15:24
Mixing metaphors is like waiting for bread and other things to rise: do it wrong and you have a flop.
I like it when my own spontaneous writing still makes me laugh, even weeks later.
Speaking of food, and how it is almost time for Writer's chat.
@KitFox I suggested that last night!
I thought the wall was arty.
okay, not really, I just wanted a new picture taken outside, and it was raining at the time.
He should be at your eye level, maybe even a little lower. Height lends authority.
It's hard for tall people to understand that.
@KitFox that's exactly what I said. Well, not exactly.
I can hear it now. "Tim, scootch down. Scootch down! Damn it!"
15:31
Lower! Low--mmmm.
hee hee hee
Also, @Howard, w/r/t food inspired writing.
I like those a lot more than the previous one.
Yes, I am promoting my own work, but only insofar as I am getting ready for Writer's chat.
So I have my writing blog open.
I had a weird dream a few nights ago about flirting with some woman in a very ... aggressive fashion.
15:34
dreams of Genie
Jeannie?
oh, yeah, that
@KitFox "You wanna go? YOU WANNA GO? Let's take this outside!"
"C'mon, bitch! Look at these!"
Hi @HowardPautz, welcome to ELU chat.
Almost. More like being really grabby and then pretending it was funny.
And then kissing.
the grabbing hands / grab all they can
15:40
Yeah, and I'm pretty sure dream girl wasn't into it but didn't feel comfortable telling me so.
Sooo awkward.
:(
I had a dream that Boyfriend and his parents went regularly to this place where, among other things, they had sock monkey type things hidden everywhere, and you could keep them when you found them.
His family had a secret room where his mom kept a bunch of magazines, and where he kept the sock monkey guys.
Eventually we went there in the dream, and the walls were covered with posters of metal bands.
Boyfriend picked up an old letter that he had started writing to a politician and decided to send it. It didn't seal right, so I taped it down.
I have such boring dreams. I think the sock monkey part came from the find-the-frog at Whole Food situation.
I can't remember the last dream I had
Hahaha. Sounds really surreal. We have a game called "Where's Sock Monkey?"
@KitFox is it like Find-the-Creepy-Christmas-Elf?
laughing I have no idea.
AUGH! CREEPY!
NOOOO!
15:58
Bai!
Matt's commuting, I think.
Oh, okay. Bai @Matt!
At least, I hear he's totally insensitive to the order of his operations.
Socks, then shoes, Matt.
16:11
@KitFox anything you feel you should commit?
Goddamnit.
@tchrist Class 1 flood warning here now, will be 50 mm of rain tomorrow I think.
I will commit when you pry this website from my cold, dead hands.
Saw that it was nice and sunny in Boulder today.
HA! Screw you, messy authentication! I got your ticket.
slaps authentication
16:15
@tchrist how goes it? Raining heavily here.
50 mm doesn't really seem like much rain.
swears a lot
50 mm in one day is pretty much ime
I suppose. It's roughly the equivalent of two feet of snow.
According to the rule of thumb I remember from when I was a kid.
Which is that 1 inch of rain = 1 foot of snow.
So I got one out of 200-odd users working.
Damn, damn, damn.
Now I am reminded why we don't do things this way.
16:20
@KitFox I'm gonna try to turn @Matt into a reminderservice made of orc,

@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 A pear!

Pears are good.
Some nom-noms!

Alas, I have no pear!

Nashi ga nashi :-( [Subtitle: Alas, you have no pear :-( ]

I could go get one, but I shan't go to the store hungry.

This morning I made a veggie burger with hot peppers and onion.
Did it get mad?

Hi.
Hi
When there are two things that require two different propositions, should we use both of them or is one enough? e.g I am available on the scheduled date and time. As you can see time require at while date requires on.
For clarity, you might. I think if you wrote "I am available at the scheduled time" that would imply date as well and you could avoid the situation thusly.
@KitFox Thanks. But this was just an example. What if it's not date and time.
Then, for clarity you might.
Otherwise rephrase to avoid it.
And lastly, don't worry about it.
@Noah are you asking about prepositions?
there are no general rules
16:58
So it should read: I am available on the mentioned date, at the mentioned time. Pretty awkward.
I think you can say "At the specified date and time".
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 I know. I am just trying to clarify something
Right. Which is why I would omit the date part, since the time part implies it anyway.
@KitFox well... might imply it.
I am available at the appointed hour.
Except on when you said. Just next Tuesday at that time.
Come now.
17:00
where?
If you're arranging an interview, a person's not going to say, I'm available at that time and not mean on that date.
Unless they say "but not on that day."
It depends, I guess, on if you're previously discussed a date and time. Otherwise, if I say "I am available at 3:00", then you could infer that I am available at that time every day.
Yes, but we started with the proposition "I am available on the scheduled date and time."
female
Ulrik is the male counterpart
Sure?
Okay. Thanks.
17:03
@Noah I think it is legal to name a man Ulrika but I have never met one
@JohanLarsson Okay.
I was addressing someone in an email.
I am sure it's she. Unless she is the only exception.
@Noah I did a search. There are 41509 female and one male Ulrika.
@JohanLarsson He is probably an outcast.
I never met him
Since "at" is used with time instances, I think "at the specified date and time" works because "date and time" is a time instance.
Otherwise, you have to use both on and at: "on Monday at 2:00", "on the specified day at a different time", etc.
17:08
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 So you mean date and time is a single thing?
@Noah In the phrase "the specified date and time", yes.
At least, that's how I interpret it. I'm available at the pre-arranged date and time. I'm available at the unfortunate date and time. Those seem perfectly grammatical to me.
But as soon as you split them, the prepositions need repeating.
Okay. What if it's a different thing. Say, On the train in a specific room.
* I'm available at the specified date and specified time. <- I don't like this. It sounds informal at best.
@Noah Just like you wrote. on... in.
can we omit the second in this case?
I am on the train, room 23
@Noah Sure, sometimes you can elide things.
17:13
Booya.
Reg is too sexy for the review queue.
I feel like throwing a party tonight.
Can I come?
I'll throw an even bigger one for Suggested Edits.
Wonder why I am not on there
17:14
Then I'll retire to play LEGO for the rest of my life.
Yay!
@KitFox Come here. I'll buy you a big Mac and Cheese.
@KitFox interesting factoid about that question: there are so many jokes in there that I am breaking out in tears unable to pick one.

@RegDwighт It's OK.
17:17
Me crying is okay? cries louder
Why is a possessive "it's" starred four times?
Alright then. There, there.
A possessive "it's" posted by a mod, no less.
I have no idea what your talking about.
I think he is drunk.
17:20
Nonono. No. I'm drunk, therefore you think.
@MattЭллен false advertising. Where's them spear from.
@RegDwighт I think we need @Cerberus to smell your mouth before we let you run this room for today.
See, if I weren't drunk, you wouldn't be thinking that now.
To change the race of your kid from Caucasian to Asian, apply brown T-shirt.
Hmmm?
@RegDwighт No surgery?
See pic above.
I wonder if Costa Concordia is a thing in the US. Or if they just keep discussing Snowden all day again.
That fur pelt must have been some nasty grafting.
That stupid ship?
17:26
The ship's not stupid. The captain is.
Then what IQ would you say the ship had?
And what they have been doing with it in the last two days was the exact opposite of stupid. In fact I've been watching the live stream. Fascinating.
@Cerberus it might be high on the emotional bs?
To be honest, I haven't been following the ship.
That was obvious from your first remark.
17:27
It sunk a while ago, didn't it? And now they're salvaging it?
@JohanLarsson Like an irrational woman, changing course all of a sudden, then ending up in a downwards spiral?
@snailboat that sounds tasty except for the onion.
@Cerberus dunno
Does it look like midnight outside for you too?
Anonymous
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 ;_; But onion!
So dark, stupid rain clouds.
17:30
@snailboat ha! They make my tummy cry.
I have to turn on the fucking lights.
@Cerberus sounds romantic!
That's what they had to deal with.
ev'rybody knows the ship is sinking / ev'rybody knows the captain lied
Doesn't look particularly smart to me.
17:32
This was last night.
Didn't somebody tell the ship that up was the way to go?
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 Or dreary and miserable!
This is now.
What an odd design.
@Cerberus but you have special lights for fucking. What's dreary and miserable about that?
The side it's been lying on for two years looks weirdly fascinating now.
17:33
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 Haha, oh, my.
It looks very...modern. But not my taste.
Just for reference.
Costa Concordia shows on Google maps
So it's a tiny ship.
17:35
Yeah, in its sorry state from about 14 months ago.
@Cerberus exactly. It's the size of one of your paws.
You think so? Do they have three more available?
Actually they do have at least one.
Five.
Costa Serena, Costa Pacifica, Costa Favolosa, Costa Fascinosa, and Carnival Splendor.
Splendid.
{| |} MS Costa Concordia () is a Concordia-class cruise ship built in 2004 by the Fincantieris Sestri Ponente yards in Italy and operated from 2005 until 2012 by Costa Crociere (a subsidiary of Carnival Corporation). On 13 January 2012, she was wrecked off the coast of Isola del Giglio in Italy. She has been declared a total loss and is being salvaged , following which she will be scrapped. The name ' was intended to express the wish for "continuing harmony, unity, and peace between European nations." Costa Concordia was the first of the Concordia-class cruise ships, followed by si...
So why are they all named Costa?
17:42
> operated from 2005 until 2012 by Costa Crociere (a subsidiary of Carnival Corporation)
@Cerberus they costa lot of money.
!!/zing
Haha.
@RegDwighт the ewok moon
endor!
Well they do.
This thing cost 500 million to produce, and 600 million to parbuckle.
And will cost another 200 million to get to a port and get disassembled. That's in Euro.
17:45
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 no one ever specifies the universe. data/time/universe/location.
@Mitch people are lazy
on Monday/at 7pm/the universe where I had that muffin instead of not/happiness land
Ah yes, Mitch having his complimentary muffin at Marriott.
You get free hookers at Marriott?
Mini hookers. And only to commemorate 9/11. But you get a whopping 30 minutes.
17:49
@RegDwighт Wow, that's a totally new word to me.
@RegDwighт n, the front page news is twerking balls. Snowden is the page 3 girl, and Costa Concordia is his/her stage name.
@RegDwighт That is incredibly poor taste.
@RegDwighт Hahahahaha I love it!
You've made my day.
@KitFox Those muffins probably taste like sadness, jet fuel smoke, and the dust of the collapsing towers.
17:50
@KitFox did you notice the Mariott logo? It's the twin towers tippling over.
@KitFox Nice. I'm gonna parbuckle me some mini-muffins at Marriott. If only I had known before!
They could have at least made it from exactly the time the first plane hit to exactly the time that the second tower collapsed.
Did the towers collapse between 8:45 and 9:15? Are the muffins exactly timed?
The towers barely get hit at that time. Collapsing took a couple hours.
@Cerberus It would all be so funny if it weren't so terribly not funny.
17:51
They were down by noon, when I woke up.
@Mitch stop stealing Russian poets' lines.
@MattЭллен is it true that you only get child support for two children in England?
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".
Side note. Marriott actually did lose 40 people at Ground Zero.
@RegDwighт Russian poets: most of them dead, the ones left are the worse off.
@RegDwighт Then it is in poor taste, what were they thinking, wrong timing!
17:54
Oh, we put apostrophe's in plural's now, nice.
Anyway I'm off for the time being. BB and all.
Lators.
The one [that]'s left.
No doubt in was a purposeful colloquialism of Mitch.
French Poets: The best one's are dead, the ones left are with your wife...or husband... or both.
@JohanLarsson I don't know. I don't think so. I have 0 children, so I have no experience
17:56
@MattЭллен found a random internet source claiming it, sounded strange.
@RegDwighт I'm making up for a lack of apostrophes in Chinese.
I say I don't think so because I remember a documentary about a family who were on benefits, i.e. no job, and kept having more children because they kept getting more money. it may have changed since then
Conservation of apostrophes, universal law.
@MattЭллен Chavvy.
bbl, e tin
17:57
Did I use that right?
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 quite
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 yes :D
@Cerberus ha ha. no. I don't squander my apostrophes on purpose. That would be a waste.
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 Explain to the rest of us!
@MattЭллен this one too!
@Mitch it's what England calls their white trash.
Sounds a lot more polite than white trash, eh?
17:59
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 Flag!
Chav, ( ) is a stereotype and pejorative epithet used in Britain. The stereotype was popularised in the first decade of the 21st century by the British mass media to refer to youth subculture in the United Kingdom. Etymology The term has its origins in the Romani word chavi, meaning "child". The derivative chavette has been used to refer to females. The adjectives "chavish" and "chavtastic" have been used in relation to items designed for or suitable for use by chavs. The word in its current pejorative usage is recorded by the Oxford English Dictionary as first used in a Usenet forum ...
In the US we call our white trash crackers.
We do?
I thought that's what black folk called us.
We're not black?
And all this time they meant I was trailer trash?
pfft
18:00
@Mitch So you squander them...at random? I see.
I'm apartment trash.
Leader of the "Party for the Animals" in Parliament. She was affecting a hunter's outfit during the King's speech.

Don't forget your sun screen!
18:45
@JohanLarsson so it does
is the source good btw?
gov.uk? yeah, it's the official site
I think
yeah, it's the official site
ok, not really important. just found it strange for some reason.
19:21
@Kit we have a problem.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I am become half-Marshal.
how many flags for marshal?
whoa, much work.
I have one flag lifetime, think it was helpful though.
Nice work at 250!
