Okay...my mind is officially blown that Mel Brooks referenced Spinal Tap!! Awesome!!

I will accept none of them

One is good but no source

Q: Community Promotion Ads - 2017

2:07 PM

yup

Community Promotion Ads - 2017 are out \o/

Meta Reel

It is a bit late into this new year, being that we're already in the second month, but we are now cycling the Community Promotion Ads for 2017! What are Community Promotion Ads? Community Promotion Ads are community-vetted advertisements that will show up on the main site, in the right sidebar....

mornin

~~evening~~ morning

~~'Fternoon~~ Mornin'

Morschn!

2:14 PM

@DrRDizzle where is the a

@AnkitSharma I replaced it with '

uhuunnn

@NapoleonWilson Guten tag.

I've just used up 100% of the German I know.

Wait.

@NapoleonWilson are you going to make new ads this time or we should recycle old one on anime and SFF ?

Ich bin Daniel?

2:16 PM

@AnkitSharma I'll just repost the ones from last year. Unless people have ideas to come up with better things.

let me see

@DrRDizzle Are you that insecure about your own identity? ;-)

@NapoleonWilson I can't remember if "Ich bin" means "I am" -name- or "I am" -age-.

The SciFi one isn't too super original, but I'm very satisfied with Anime & Manga and Arqade.

@NapoleonWilson ohh u mean you will

2:17 PM

My German is virtually non-existant, despite studying it for a year in school.

@DrRDizzle Well, it literally means "I am", so...both.

@NapoleonWilson I see.

@NapoleonWilson wie gehts?

Ich bin gut!

@DForck42 Gut, danke.

@AnkitSharma You can too if you want.

2:19 PM

mein deutsch ist nicht sehr gute

@NapoleonWilson I will on anime

You people have all gone insane ;)

A: Community Promotion Ads - 2017

0

done

@NapoleonWilson I took three years of german in highschool, I've forgotten 99% of it

2:21 PM

@steelersquirrel not me, not yet

translate: mein deutsch ist nicht sehr gute

(from German) my German is not very good

@DForck42 Yeah, the same for me with Spanish.

@AnkitSharma I fee like we should change that up a bit, it's 3 years old

translate: Ich bin Daniel

(from German) I'm Daniel

..or French, but that was even elementary school.

I took French in High School. Same thing. I couldn't speak French if my life depended on it.

2:23 PM

@DForck42 Why? It's awesome.

@AnkitSharma Ich heise David

@DForck42 I am not good with this stuff. So sticking with it ;)

Besides that, I just updated that for the new size last year.

@NapoleonWilson I might be a bit biased cause I don't like either of those shows

@NapoleonWilson You're better off knowing Spanish in these parts than German :(

2:24 PM

@steelersquirrel I know.

It says on the community promotion question that ads can promote review blogs. Would that include personal review blogs such as my own, or just ones associated with the community at large, a la SciFi's blog?

and showing the same 2 western animations for 3 years is a bit silly when there are LOADS more out there

@DrRDizzle both I think

@DForck42 Sure, but they're famous. Afterall, virtually noone likes all those films in the Arqade ad either (except for me maybe).

@DrRDizzle both

I see. I might attempt to create a 300*250 ad tonight.

2:25 PM

@DForck42 I'd like to avoid obscure stuff, though. I was glad I found a picture which puts both of them together (and that in a scene where they "discuss about film" ;-)).

@DForck42 you mean something like adventure time, I hate it but it's famous

But of course, I encourage everyone to come up with new ads for the site. There's even a meta post for it.

@DrRDizzle I will upvote it even when I despise your reviews :P

Q: Let's promote our community!

8

This year's Community Promotion Ads have started on all the graduated sites. This is a great chance to promote our site on the other sites. Of course this doesn't mean we should spam each and every SE site with ads for Movies & TV either, but at least the ones with a related scope are worth a try...

discussion promotion

@NapoleonWilson Most ads seem to be for cross-site promotion rather than alternative promotion, is where my confusion was coming from.

@AnkitSharma Lol, thanks.

2:27 PM

well, there's all of pixar

dreamworks

@DrRDizzle Well, if people like your ad. It at least seems relevant to the community. That's what we have votes for. So, feel free to suggest it.

disney

etc.

@NapoleonWilson Excellent.

@DForck42 maybe you can make one for us :)

@DForck42 Well, I'd rule out computer animation, since anime is hand-drawn too. But sure, Disney is a good idea.

2:29 PM

@NapoleonWilson the ad says animation, which is a broad category ;-)

@AnkitSharma I want to throw the new answer to your Spaceballs question into the wood chipper ;)

i'll see what I construct later

@DrRDizzle You can make it double the size, for retina displays.

@steelersquirrel go ahead

@DForck42 yeah \o/

@steelersquirrel Still not anywhere near to elephant man

@steelersquirrel There's a button for that, but I know you don't like to click it. ;-)

2:30 PM

Is US awake now, got votes in bunch

Morschn.

@NapoleonWilson That's a relief, 300*250 is tiny

@AnkitSharma Apparently.

18 mins ago, by Ankit Sharma

~~evening~~ morning

2:31 PM

@DrRDizzle Well, it will still get scaled to 300*250 anyway. ;-)

@DrRDizzle I hope it's as weird as your reviews :P

@NapoleonWilson Hey, I have got better at flagging stuff. It provides an answer to the question, even though it sucks.

@steelersquirrel Yeah, I meant the "this sucks" button, with the little downward arrow. ;-)

@AnkitSharma most of them yes

How does that frigging Spaceballs answer have so many upvotes without a source. Are we supposed to just take this guy at his word that Mel Brooks said that? ;-(

2:33 PM

6:30 on the west coast, 9:30 on the east

@steelersquirrel good morning

@steelersquirrel Well, it sounds convincing, rather than like the ramlings of a madman as most unsourced answers. But I agree it could use some backing.

@steelersquirrel I didn't upvoetd it yet

I like sanpaco answer more

I guess. I mean, I can make bullshit sound convincing, too if I really wanted to ;)

lol

@Riker Good morning!

2:35 PM

If he can get source, he willl get teh green tick else, no upvote no tick

@steelersquirrel Then vote it down and leave a comment.

I will still wait for a source before appreciating this answer. — Ankit Sharma ♦ 7 secs ago

And again, our site doesn't have the automated answer formatting for the promotion question. ;-(

@NapoleonWilson Already down voted. A comment was already made about the source. Gheez. Leave me alone and let me complain about it for a few minutes! ;)

Okay.

part of the issue is I don't have any graphic manipulation software at work except paint...

@steelersquirrel that's why I shared that Indian ad making fun of German food and Germans made for german airline :P

@NapoleonWilson Awwww. I'm just playing!

I was trying to type my german without it, but found a spelling error

@Riker HAHAHA!!

optionally substitute with "quejarme" for more complaining

@DForck42 Tell me the translation. Let's see if it translated correctly.

disentir is differ, but "I beg to complain" is a bit more apt

@AnkitSharma It's just going to be a picture of your face. So yes, very weird :P

2:49 PM

My brother's neighbor has a deaf dog and I asked him that if there was an intruder, if the dog came into his room and said "bark" in sign language :P

@AJ "Hey, I do not know German."

@DForck42 It missed the word bro. LOL. Bhai=>Brother

@DrRDizzle Sick burn!

@AJ heh

@steelersquirrel would you reccommend any over the counter sleeping pills or asking the doctor if I'm having trouble sleeping?

2:50 PM

@Riker Melatonin

hm okay

@steelersquirrel I know, hehe!

@Riker If ibuprofen gives you a buzz, I'm afraid that melatonin might put you into a coma ;)

lol

2:59 PM

Ugh. Another double shift with zero sleep :'(

@steelersquirrel fuuuuuuuuun

I will crawl into work, be tired for a few hours, get my coffee buzz, crash, get my second wind and another coffee buzz, lose my frigging mind for a few hours, make Napoleon completely nuts, get off work, pass out in bed ;)

Oh wait...that was Tuesday ;)

Okay, I reposted the SciFi ad.

@NapoleonWilson are you Cahir on scifi?

@DForck42 Yes.

And also Arqade.

3:11 PM

@NapoleonWilson what is that name from?

@DForck42 From Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher series.

@NapoleonWilson heh, it's nice to see my ad get updated through the years

@NapoleonWilson ahh

MannlyMann

Hey @steelersquirrel you still around?

@NapoleonWilson the tl;dr: I was in a BAD relationship and super depressed, broke up with her, was still depressed, got another gf, started college, was still depressed, finally broke up with her, started doing better, and found my fiancee

Good to hear (the last part at least).

3:30 PM

@NapoleonWilson :-D

@steelersquirrel That's the easy one. What's the antonym of Wilson?

Lady Gaga says I wanna take a ride on your disco stick. How should I interpret this?

It seems pretty clear how.

Lyrics are like.

> Let's have some fun. This beat is sick. I wanna take a ride on your disco stick

Paper Gangsta song is better than this one.

3:52 PM

@AJ fairly certain this is a vibrator

lel

I think it's just meant to be a d*ck actually

DI ~~sco sti~~ CK.

@DrRDizzle I bleh you

@NapoleonWilson you should better give exact link

@DForck42 you can write a novel out of it

Q: Why does Lex Luthor let her die?

@AJ Antonym of Wilson? Like...the opposite? Uhm...Squirrel? :P

Surely the antonym of Wilson is Spalding?

Oh, ffs! Why does everyone think that Spaceballs XI has anything to do with bankruptcy?

user132126

XI?

user132126

Is that the official title? lol

4:52 PM

Yes!

Chapter 11 - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapter_11,_Title_11,_United_States_Code

One person says bankruptcy, another says a Spinal Tap reference...both of which have no sources.

@Paulie_D Haha!

This calls for a good ol' fashion case of ~~Twitter stalking~~ asking someone who was involved in the movie :P

I just find it hard to believe that if someone like Mel Brooks made a comment about Spinal Tap like that, it would be referenced somewhere. I mean, both of those movies are huge cult classics.

Or, maybe I am just nuts. I am a squirrel, ya know ;)

5:28 PM

@steelersquirrel lol. Starred

@CreationEdge O.o

@steelersquirrel yeah , go for it

My HP question is answered on other site. Maybe I should skip HP and go for other movies.

Part 1, The Reptile Room. When they are at the movies, the ticket taker sounds like John Lithgow, but doesn't look like him. I have tried researching a list of the cameos, but the character nor Lithgow are mentioned. This is my daughter's favourite show at the moment, so I get to watch, too.

@Paulie_D Ahhhh...okay, because that would naturally lead to them taking a "bath" together in a lake ;)

OP is probably not a native english speaker so it could be swim or bathe.

I just thought that the word "piddling" was funny ;)
