I mean. Not that I know that song or anything.

Matt Эллен

no, of course not

RegDwighт

I am the walrus.

KitFox

No, you are the hippo.

RegDwighт

Caching.

Johan Larsson

@KitFox there are many worse songs.

KitFox

21:04

Yes. Yes, there are.

RegDwighт

I am your robot. I am titanium. I'm not a girl, not yet a woman.

KitFox

You are so beautiful to me.

RegDwighт

Sartorial eloquence.

MετάEd

you're everything that I ne-e-e-e-ed

that's going to be in my head now for the rest of the afternoon ...

KitFox

Tall and tan and young and lovely

MετάEd

21:13

@KitFox Oh. That's one of my buttons you just pushed.

That translation is terrible.

I completely rewrote that.

KitFox

That's not the button I thought it was.

MετάEd

@KitFox Right. I try to keep people on their toes.

KitFox

Hey, that reminds me of a girl I once knew with a bifurcated...never mind.

Robusto

@JasperLoy This time see if you can stay deleted. We can only handle so much artificial drama around here.

KitFox

The progress on the new half bath.

Robusto

21:17

@KitFox All girls are bifurcated. At least that's what I thought.

KitFox

Um. Not all of our parts are bifurcated.

Robusto

Well, you know what I mean. Stop being coy.

KitFox

What's got you all cranky?

Usually you like my coy.

It's the kitchen, isn't it?

Robusto

I'm very cranky today. I bought my wife a present for Mother's Day which involves two tickets to an equestrian event, and it looks like I might have to go with her.

KitFox

Oh. Is your son not coming home to visit?

Oh my God. I forgot to do the thing I was going to do for my MiL.

Robusto

21:20

They're VIP tickets, and the note says "Garden party attire—no jeans." And it shows a bunch of rich fucks standing around in blazers in 100-degree heat.

Like I'm going to dress up to go look at horses. Please.

KitFox

You are a good and thoughtful husband, but shouldn't your child be the one doing this stuff?

She's not your mother after all.

You're off the hook for Mother's Day.

Robusto

Well, I told him he oughta man up and go since I'm paying for the thing.

KitFox

I agree. Shall I smack him for you?

Robusto

But just the sight of the horsey set swanning around in their preppy clothes brings out the class warrior in me.

KitFox

Besides, he might meet a suitably rich marriage prospect there.

Robusto

21:22

I don't want him to marry Daisy from The Great Gatsby, tyvm.

Besides, as she herself said, "Rich girls don't marry poor boys."

KitFox

I really should read that again.

I retained nothing from tenth grade.

user19161

@Robusto Haha, OK. I will be deleting my account now. Take care!

Robusto

@KitFox It's worth reading again. Reading, not watching a movie of it.

But of course you'll go see Leo do his impression of James Gatz.

Johan Larsson

@Robusto if it makes you feel any better I do it all the time, cleaning poo driving horses to competitions etc.

KitFox

Of course, reading. What do you take me for?

user19161

21:25

Guys, I will be deleting my account now. This time, I won't return!

Robusto

@JohanLarsson Why would that make me feel any better?

God, I hate SO sometimes.

A: Show a div as pop-up using Fancybox

I personally use prettyPhoto, its very simlar to fancy box, however Ive found it to be more compatible with older browsers. have a look http://www.no-margin-for-errors.com/projects/prettyphoto-jquery-lightbox-clone/ I belive the page you are looking for, for loading custom content is here ht...

The answer to the question about using one stupid framework is just: "Hey, use a different framework!"

KitFox

@pleasedeleteme Bye!

Johan Larsson

no sure, also I always dress like a bum when I attend so not the same thing

skullpatrol

@pleasedeleteme Please don't go pal.

KitFox

@Robusto Because he's not rich and privileged?

Dinnertime. Later!

RegDwighт

21:29

@Robusto I submit that all frameworks be called framenotworks.

Robusto

I mean, how hard is it to write a fucking popup?

simchona

@pleasedeleteme Jesus, again?

RegDwighт

@Robusto At least one of these two is very upfront about it. Fancy box.

Robusto

I'm only looking because our consulting firm uses fancybox and I don't want to add code bloat. But if I can't get some fucking answers I'm just going to roll my own.

If you have to use a framework to show a modal dialog you ought to be fired.

RegDwighт

I'll write a box with a reddish brown border and call it walrusbox.

And if people need a blue border, I'll point them to my exquisite sharkbox.

Matt Эллен

21:31

I write one with a bluish green border and call it hippobox

RegDwighт

Hey you're giving me ideas.

Matt Эллен

:D

Robusto

Doesn't anyone have a manateebox?

Matt Эллен

Robusto

Thank you.

RegDwighт

21:33

OMG OMG. How much for a department license?

Robusto

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

RegDwighт

Hey now. I bought jQuery on Bluray.

Matt Эллен

rofl

time for bed me hearties. snorevoir

Robusto

Meanwhile, the important questions about life and love and fanservice aren't getting their due

@MattЭллен I see what you did there. English + French = "I surrender for bed"!

RegDwighт

@Robusto I don't understand a word in that thread. Nice pix tho.

Robusto

21:36

You're not supposed to understand. It's a thread about anime. What, you think it's supposed to mean something?

RegDwighт

I'm not sure. I am still am, so I have to think something.

MετάEd

@KitFox But seriously. Look at the Portuguese lyrics. The American verision is a travesty.

RegDwighт

You misspelled Verizon.

Robusto

> Did she just heal a person with her ass. Is that what I just saw?

RegDwighт

What's your gravatar thing anyway? Is that a Young Pioneer tie?

Young Pioneer Organization of the Soviet Union

The Young Pioneer Organization of the Soviet Union, also Vladimir Lenin All-Union Pioneer Organization (Russian: Всесою́зная пионе́рская организа́ция и́мени В. И. Ле́нина ; tr.:Vsesoyuznaya pionerskaya organizatsiya imeni V. I. Lenina), was a mass youth organization of the USSR for children of age 10–15 in the Soviet Union between 1922 and 1991. History After the October Revolution of 1917, some Scouts took the Bolsheviks' side, which would later lead to the establishment of ideologically altered Scoutlike organizations, such as ЮК (Юные Коммунисты, or young communists; pronou...

@RegDwighт "I am the walrus."

RegDwighт

No, I am. You're out of your element.

Robusto

Animé proves that the Japanese are not only stranger than we imagine, but stranger than we can imagine.

RegDwighт

But who is stranger than the Japanese can imagine?

Robusto

Only they can answer that question.

Interesting. The dude uses impolite first person pronoun and then adds polite desu at the end. Rookie. He is definitely a baka.

RegDwighт

> Pioneers Palace - After the ban, pioneer organization, property confiscated. In Russia are known as the Palace of children and youth creativity (Russia, city Togliatti)

What language is that, Wikipedia?

@Robusto there's an impolite version of desu? TIL

Robusto

21:44

@RegDwighт Google Transsiberia.

@RegDwighт da

Or just leave it out altogether.

RegDwighт

Never heard of that one.

I must stop watching polite Japanese movies.

Funny how The Man Who Turned Off Third-Party Cookies In Firefox looks exactly like The Man Who Turned Off Third-Party Cookies In Firefox.

Robusto

Uncanny.

And I am outta here.

@RegDwighт It's International Clitoris Awareness Week.

RegDwighт

Well I wasn't aware!

MετάEd

21:54

@RegDwighт See? It's working.

RegDwighт

Amazing. What will you aware next?

MετάEd

@RegDwighт Well cooincidentally (or not) May is also National Masturbation Month.

RegDwighт

Hm. I'm international though.

RegDwighт

English question.

What do you call that cutout, or arch, in the body of a car where the wheels go?

I am trying to describe this part:

As used in this model:

MετάEd

Wheel well?

RegDwighт

Ah! Excellent.

Thank you.

I heard that term before, but would have never recalled it.

MετάEd

My pleasure. And when I say pleasure, I mean National Masturbation Month.

RegDwighт

That's not your pleasure. That's national.

Q: Any reasons for the introduction of the new-style raised arch?

The new-style raised arch (to the left, 92950) got introduced in 2009, and has been gradually replacing the old-style arch (to the right, 3455) across the board. However, after four years, not only haven't I run into a single set where it was structurally a necessity, but it also actually looks...

And with that, I'm out for today.

Good night.

Cerberus

Hello!

How are you all today?

WendiKidd

Hi @Cerb!

Cerberus

Hi!

We learned about Jazz today.

Johan Larsson

hej

WendiKidd

Hey, remember the game I was trying to get you to play a while ago, but it was iOS only? Well they announced today that an android version is coming soon. I dunno when soon is, but it definitely means eventually :)

That sounds interesting!

Cerberus

23:14

@JohanLarsson Hee!

@WendiKidd Hmm which game was this again?

WendiKidd

@Cerberus Pantheon the Legends. It's the TCG with the greek gods and goddesses theme and the guilds and...stuff. It's hard to explain but has a lot of cool features :) Worth a try, at any rate.

Cerberus

Ahh.

WendiKidd

:)

Cerberus

Long live the Greek gods!

WendiKidd

Hehe, yes!

Cerberus

23:16

It was claimed today that Americans don't call people "black" any more, but I believe that's only (part of) the PC masses.

MετάEd

I didn't learn about jazz today. I listened to a lot of Dave Brubeck though.

Cerberus

Who is that again?

MετάEd

@Cerberus Really?

WendiKidd

@Cerberus Hmm... I don't know that that's true in general. If someone told me it offended them I wouldn't say it, but... That's never happened to me before.

Cerberus

Question: would you consider Anette Hanshaw's blues "jazz"?

@MετάEd Really.

MετάEd

23:17

Dave Brubeck

David Warren "Dave" Brubeck (December 6, 1920 – December 5, 2012) was an American jazz pianist and composer, considered to be one of the foremost exponents of cool jazz. He wrote a number of jazz standards, including "In Your Own Sweet Way" and "The Duke". Brubeck's style ranged from refined to bombastic, reflecting his mother's attempts at classical training and his improvisational skills. His music is known for employing unusual time signatures, and superimposing contrasting rhythms, meters, and tonalities. His long-time musical partner, alto saxophonist Paul Desmond, wrote the sa...

Cerberus

Ah, I learned about Cool Jazz today! Which was followed by Hard-bop?

WendiKidd

Charlie Brown! /that's all I got out of that wiki article

Cerberus

@WendiKidd Yeah exactly. I was going to say that, but it didn't seem important enough to interrupt.

@WendiKidd Such an efficient reader.

WendiKidd

@Cerberus Haha. Just selective!

Cerberus

Clearly.

Apparently, some people don't consider song part of Jazz.

Because the essence of jazz is improvisation, and this is normally only done to a marginal degree with singing.

In other words, "jazz" singers don't normally improvise a lot.

Dutch female fans of the English band "One Direction".

WendiKidd

23:26

Oh my god.

That is so creepy.

Why do fans have to be creepy? Why can't they be sane and appreciative and normal?

Johan Larsson

@Cerberus It can still be really good (not high quality)

MετάEd

@Cerberus Stay classy, Holland.

WendiKidd

@JohanLarsson "This video contains content from earMUSIC and UMG. It is not available in your country"

say what? lol

MετάEd

@WendiKidd Same here.

Johan Larsson

Sarah Vaughan - Embraceable You, maybe you can find it elsewhere

WendiKidd

23:30

I'm not sure why it would be blocked though. I'm trying to figure out what law makes it unavailable. Is there a law SE? Guess I should google it first though...

Johan Larsson

I think there are two law SE in Area 51

Cerberus

@WendiKidd I know!! If I were in that band, I'd either give wide berth to these fans, or invite them into my dressing room.

@MετάEd Of all countries in the world, Holland is definitely not going to win when it comes to class.

@JohanLarsson Yay! I actually like "jazz" singing the most.

Of all jazz music.

@WendiKidd Huh! I can watch it! Normally it's the other way around?

@WendiKidd This is what people outside the USA have to go through a lot, because some label didn't get a favourable deal with Google for some market. Luckily, Holland usually gets to see most videos, but, in Germany, Youtube is all but unusable.

Johan Larsson

@Cerberus You have probably heard Ella & Louis, more like pop/musical songs but still sick duets.

I should stop editing for punctuation probably not getting it right anyway :D

Cerberus

I know Billie Holiday.

Although Fitzgerald and Armstrong are also famous.

Johan Larsson

also nice, dinner music imo

Cerberus

23:48

I have eaten too many crisps and drunk to much beer.

No I shall consume only water.

Johan Larsson

and I shall sleep, nite sir

Cerberus

Good night!

KitFox

@MετάEd I was waiting for you to post yours.
