Now look at Aarthi. And she did it in like 1/3 the time we had.

She's on your heels, Cerberus.

She's so far down I can barely see her.

I can handle her.

Split in three if I have to.

Hades is not exactly high in the sky, either. Don't drop your cover just yet.

Plus from the numbers it looks like she got all that ~~reps~~ posts in the Teachers' Lounge, where you can't see her.

She could be posting fifty-twelve messages a minute right now.

Hades is so low that...les extrêmes se touchent.

Ewww.

Keep your extremities away from me, willya.

Well. Eh.

10:15 PM

Is that the new movie from Pixar?

I said nothing about willyas.

Haha what?

Oh right. I forgot you don't know what movies is.

Know what what is?

WALL•E

WALL•E is de negende animatiefilm van Pixar Animation Studios. De regie was in handen van Andrew Stanton, die ook Finding Nemo regisseerde en de co-regisseur was van A Bug's Life. De film volgt het liefdesverhaal van twee robots in de toekomst. Opvallend is dat er in de film nauwelijks gecommuniceerd wordt met een menselijke stem, maar juist wel met lichaamstaal en stemachtige geluiden (ontworpen door Ben Burtt). WALL•E werd genomineerd voor zes Oscars, waarvan de film de Academy Award voor de Beste Animatiefilm won. Daarnaast werden aan de animatiefilm meer dan veertig andere prijzen to...

will.e.lm

10:16 PM

That will.e.lm, that will.e.lm. I do not like that will.e.lm.

God.

If negende means crappy, sure.

Slain by Dutch Will-Elm Disease.

That sounds horribler than I could have imagined.

It was phantabulous until like one half into the movie when they added the plasticine people for no reason.

10:16 PM

Ugh.

Negen = nine.

And nine is German for no, so what wiki is saying is that that movie is not from Pixar.

It makes sense.

Or it is the non-movie.

Man. It really was so good. And then it stopped being so good. Why?

Or it is a movie where all the cute little cartoon fish say NEIN! all the time.

It's really just a remake of Herbie, the Love Bug, but updated for, you know, technological and eschatological reasons.

10:18 PM

@Cerberus No. Them's gulls, not fish. And they say mine, not nein. And you have just blown your cover.

@Cerberus You mean narwhals?

Rats.

You know way too much for not knowing nothing.

God no. Not the narwhals.

I try to know as little as possible.

@Cerberus Swimming in the ocean.

Causing a commotion.

10:20 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

'Cos they are so awesome.

Silence!

MWA-HAH-HAH!!

howls

My wife has the narwhals song on her playlist. The chicken on the raft, too. She listens to them regularly.

10:20 PM

Hahaha.

Ohai Trig.

Spare Oom

Fun movie: imdb.com/title/tt1034314

@RegDwighт Hi.

I have to apologize to you.

My wife doesn't have the narwhals on her playlist.

10:20 PM

@RegDwighт ?

Beware.

Last time I was cracking jokes about your posting, um, gay porn, I wasn't aware that it was supposed to be, um, gay porn.

@RegDwighт Ah.

That's rather funny, actually.

So I kind of thought I was being funny and then a day later I thought that was rather tactless.

Like that time you thought @Cerberus was his gay porn name, and then found out it was?

10:22 PM

@RegDwighт And I just wondered what you were talking about, actually.

When was that?

@Robusto Now you're just being cruel. Nobody is called Cerberus. What kind of name is that.

growls

Mondo cane.

10:23 PM

@RegDwighт It honestly didn't occur to me you were talking about those pictures.

@RegDwighт It's not gay porn, it's a rebus. Meaning: hung like a horse.

@Robusto Mondo mio buwahaha!

@RegDwighт I was actually asked to post that.

Jan 4 at 19:43, by KitFox

Pix or it didn't happen.

@Robusto Comedy Central has reruns of that Hung thing. I am always afraid to tune in by accident.

imdb.com/title/tt1229413

Door bell.

At this hour?

@TRiG You know she always says that.

10:25 PM

24 hours ago, by RegDwighт

Door bell.

30 minutes earlier than yesterday.

Haha wtf.

Who is it?

Wife.

She demands a croissant, too.

The Chinese used to refer to westerners as hung mao fan, meaning "red-haired devils." My response: at least we were hung!

We're fresh out of croissants, though.

She doesn't have a key because...otherwise you can't lock her up when needed?

Q: Correct use of is/are in a list of pronouns

Forgive me, for I have duped. But I cannot find it.

My company's website recently received an E-mail stating there was a grammatical error in our greeting message.

Multiple subjects in disjunction. Where is the canonical answer?

@Cerberus It could have been worse.

I have answered this too many times.

@Robusto Way!

@TRiG Oh God...I think you have posted that one before too.

@Cerberus she does have a key. It's a copy that doesn't fit the lock well, though. (She wanted to have Maggie from the Simpsons on it, which was only available in some weird size.) So she prefers to ring.

@Robusto Why are shirtless men always “gay” porn? Do female androsexuals have a problem with shirtless dudes?

10:29 PM

She will also not lock up the door when leaving, quite often.

Because it takes her ages and she misses the bus.

@RegDwighт Of course. That makes perfect sense. Maggie from the Simpsons, and now your doorbell rings every night.

Well it's still before midnight.

Why didn't I think of that?

@RegDwighт If she misses the bus, does she have to take the rebus?

@Robusto yes, but this much be spoiled: it's not a gay rebus.

10:30 PM

@tchrist But women aren't visually stimulated and don't enjoy porn. Everyone knows that. (It's complete bullshit, but everyone knows it anyway.)

Spare Oom

@tchrist Depends on the dude.

@RegDwighт Is your life one big French movie?

Jan 23 at 0:15, by TRiG

Abounding in eccentric characters?

Oh my.

10:30 PM

Didn't think I had, but you're right.

@TRiG Thank you for quoting what I failed to quote just five minutes ago.

I thought one was enough.

@tchrist I still prefer the GIF of him taking his clothes off ....

@TRiG ...aaaand there he is again.

@tchrist I'm going to have to plead ignorance on this one. I don't get to do it often, so I intend to enjoy it this time.

There’s more where that one comes from, I’m sure.

10:32 PM

@TRiG I still prefer to play that GIF backwards, with eyes closed, with my back facing the unplugged monitor, while cuddling a Bible.

@Robusto Not as much as I will. :)

Athletes-cum-porn-stars...what's next? Hookers-cum-MPs? Oh, wait, Berlusconi already had those...

@RegDwighт More dry figs, eh?

@RegDwighт It would actually be even more impressive backwards. A rolling tumble with good enough aim to get into your pants would be quite a skill.

@Cerberus You got the cum part right.

10:33 PM

Gosh.

@TRiG I actually saw people do that.

I am certain there's videos on YouTube.

Where is the helicopter gif?

@TRiG Sounds like the overture of a porn flick.

Not videos of people doing that, mind you. Just videos.

Of course.

10:34 PM

It's kind of like Hit Girl doing the running double mag load. Best send-up of gratuitous violence ever.

Though RIAA is on a crusade to prove me wrong.

Don't forget GEMA.

@Robusto Ars gratuitous artis.

Not to mention arse and arctis.

Cut that out.

I don't have pliers handy.

10:36 PM

Don’t need no bare bear asses.

When was the last time a bare bear asked you what you needed?

Unicorn chaser!

There it is.

Arctostaphylos uva-ursi

Arctostaphylos uva-ursi is a plant species of the genus Arctostaphylos (manzanita). Its common names include kinnikinnick and pinemat manzanita, and it is one of several related species referred to as bearberry. Distribution The distribution of Arctostaphylos uva-ursi is circumpolar, and it is widespread in northern latitudes, but confined to high altitudes further south: *in Europe, from Iceland and North Cape, Norway south to southern Spain (Sierra Nevada); central Italy (Apennines) and northern Greece (Pindus mountains); *in Asia from arctic Siberia south to Turkey, the Caucasus a...

@Robusto not enough sax and violins.

10:38 PM

Hey, back off. She's, like, 10.

A: Word for the sound made while vomiting

Hard to tell with the mask on.

@tchrist I actually used that gif in an answer once.

Blech or blarg(h), with extra Hs for extra effect. Some Google Image Search results for blargh:

How did that not hit the MC?

Sounds Irish.

Chibs is in Ireland. DUH.

@tchrist the bear grape?

Did I just understand two consecutive words of Latin?

What has this world come to.

10:41 PM

@RegDwighт Yes, and double-beared: note the Latin and the Greek both have the same thing.

No, you understood Spanish.

I know uva from Spanish and Urs from Schwitzerdütsch.

I don't need no Latin, let the dead language burn.

@RegDwighт You should ask @Cerb to instruct you in re Arctostaphylos.

There's also Ursula, obviously. How's that for a crappy name for a girl.

Le Guin has class.

Hmm what?

10:44 PM

@Cerb puts the cock in staphylococcus.

Uhh...

He also puts the staff in staphylococcus.

It's a compliment, dummy.

@RegDwighт But does he put his cock in the staff?

Thanks?

And he also puts the feel in staphylococcus.

10:45 PM

Just as long as he don't put no cock in us.

@Robusto uh. You do know there's that thing called, um, cockstuffing?

Or perhaps cockstaffing, I never checked.

And I don't want to.

Is it anything like spotted dick?

This is way too staphylorrhaphic for me.

Spatchcocking is something you do to fowl when you’re in a hurry.

@tchrist Triple aspiration? I don't think so...

I am the walrus.

10:47 PM

Of course.

@Robusto Goes in tight.

I am the walrus.

How come you can say the same line twice?

Moscow has Walmarts?

It never lets me.

10:47 PM

@Robusto at the danger of derailing this room to the point of no return, cockstuffing is the sexual practice of inserting things into urethra. I was told some people widen it to the point of inserting other male's genitalia in it. I never checked.

I can say the same line.

I can say the same line‪.

I can say the same line‪‪.

I can say the same line‪‪‪.

Probably because it is not the same.

I can say the same line‪‪‪‪.

CCCCCOMBO BREAKER

10:50 PM

@tchrist Moscow has MEGA, where certain users' wives buy cigarettes for them.

@Robusto I never noticed the HD sign in that scene.

Can I repeat myself?

No.

@RegDwighт It doesn't translate.

The second line got swallowed up.

Can I repeat myself?

10:52 PM

@TRiG That’s because it’s not polite to talk with your mouth full.

@Robusto How very...coherent.

Too highbrow for you?

@Robusto said, supersilliestly.

@Robusto gotta love the top comments.

> "Yeah, well, that's just like... your opinion, man."

> Yeah, well, you know, that's like... uh... just your opinion, man.

Neither of that is what he actually says.

How fucking hard can it be.

It really is too highbrow.

They don't do their research.

I had a dream the other night that I found out how Joel Cohen thought of the whole idea for The Big Lebowski. He was out at the beach and he saw some spaced-out hippie trying to scatter ashes from an urn into the sea and getting them blown back in his party's faces. And the whole movie just came to him in that moment.

11:01 PM

Opium again, eh?

Weed.

@Robusto Could be. Still mad kudos to him for coming up with the other 99.999999%.

And with that I'm taking my leave for today.

Buenos nachos.

Same. gotta do the dinner thing.
