WLT: Be Knights, Bulls, Pugs, or Cushions?

The WLT & Way of the Willet Theme Song Combo

We'll be posting till the morning wait and see,
And we'll make them as confusing as can be,
There'll be nonesense and Outsanity,
To confuddle all humanity,
This Thread is mad so post along with me.

We'll be scoffing all the cookies we can see,
And we'll eat as many chocolates as can be,
There'll be thong talk and Outsanity,
And a general dose of vanity,
This Thread is now as sturdy as a tree.

With a question then an answer then a quote,
We will keep this thread as bouyant as a boat,
No KT member will be safe,
If they enter our little space,
We will capture them within the words we wrote.

When your naff boss really seems to get your goat,
We will make you laugh quite heartily from the throat,
No simple message will be safe,
In this double entendre space,
As we quote and chat and generally gloat.

What is this total chaos you may ask,
And what is this strange threads overriding task?
It's to talk for far too long,
To make our droll w**k speed along,
The Willets ways are here to always last!

What is this thread in question you may ask,
And what is this strange threads overriding task?
It's to make a thread so long,
That the world will sing along,
World's Longest Thread is here to always last!

The World's Longest Thread FAQS

[Welcome! Wilkommen! Bienvenue! Bienvenida! Fáilte! Sdrasvitye! Kia Ora! Croeso! Tervetuloa! To The World's Longest Thread!

A question that us regular posters, Willeteers as we’ve come to be known, here on the WLT are often asked is 'whuh?' Well, it's quite simple really. . .

So how'd this all start?

The World's Longest Thread dates back to the beginning of the WoAM KTBB, a bulletin board not dissimilar to this one, where it began its existence as a humble but effective exercise in post count uppage and random emoticon posting :crazy: :evil: :p The original WLT was over 100 pages in length, causing that bulletin board to crash and bringing the wrath of the PowersThatBe. Those-who-must-be-obeyed decreed that no Willet on that site could be more than 15 pages. Doing this also gives us the chance to dream up interesting or amusing names for each new WLT. As you can tell (check our WLT History Page (http://wltstuff.vexingvixen.net/wlthistory.html) to see), we don't always manage it, but it's the thought that counts.

What do we post here?

Well, likesay, it started off as random smilies and such, but like any good viral infection, it's diversified and evolved since then. Some people come here to post little details from their life, let off steam about their unworthy employers, or share funny things they heard or saw. Others come here to trade witticisms, brag about how much dosh they made on Celebdaq, or post their most recent high score at this week's fashionable Flash-based internet game (Run Escape! for example) that the world will have forgotten in a month (anyone remember that game from last month?). Yet others come here to call Anonew 'Gwyneth' and generally annoy him cough*Jayson*cough. Or to watch the WLT renowned Kitty & Jayson Show. It's very much a case of post what you want, when you want.

To enhance your posting enjoyment please feel free to use this devilishly fiendish piece of programming from Anonew :cool: (http://earth.prohosting.com/dartga/kt_ciser.html) just click the smilie , a tool most useful in making your drivel appear pretty. However, you'll receive complaints if you do this too often, since it messes up the formatting of the archived versions (don't even ask -- there are some things you'll learn as you go).

What's the deal with all the poems?

At some point in the past, it was decided that whoever made the first post on a new page, with the exception of page 1 and page 15, would have to post a page starting poem. This was generally kinda cool, but for those unlucky enough to get stung with a poem five or six times in a row (it happened) it was a bit onerous, to which end Anonew came up with The WLT Poem Generator (http://earth.prohosting.com/dartga/poemgen.html) which, despite some controversy, takes 99% of the effort out of doing page starting poems, if so wanted. No-one’s looking for Shakespeare after all. Of course there’s also the much copied classic from Kitster, the "innit" poem which shall be a treasured memory for many years (or hours at least!) FAQ’s, Innit!

There is also a traditional poem that appeared on each page 15 (along with the lengthy tale "The Curse of the Unfinished Willet") which can be found in our off-site archives (http://wltstuff.vexingvixen.net/).

Some folk in doing the poems for so long on WoAM, became a wee bit weary of trying to find rhymes for some of the pages, like seven and eleven and so, some of the most ancient willeteers were granted not only exemption from doing so but also the almighty power to grant immunity to others; you can read more about this on our Poem Immunity Page (http://wltstuff.vexingvixen.net/nktimmunities.html).

Page starting poems, following a brief period of banning due to excessive length and copyright breachment have been re-established in this new forum and we do find that upon starting a page, if you wish to stand up and recite poetry to us or your friend/lodger/cat/coffee cup* (*Delete as appropriate) this is perfectly acceptable and often rather therapeutic, so long as they are no longer than say, twelve lines, and original in content! Alternatively a random factoid, a link, a personal fact, or joke can be posted, though this is considered by some as the boring and uninspired way out of a poem corner. Some willeteers also like to intersperse non-page-starting poems or quote song lyrics: this is usually considered alright, if they're only snippets and not epics, and their authors are properly credited within the post. Unfortunatly due to a recent abuse of poemage in the WLT, the hosties have decreed that only page starting poems are to be posted. All other poetry should be in the appropriate forum. However, should you be the lucky one to start a page and either ignore or not realize that fact, and the page ends without appropriate poemage being offered, you will be subject to dire consequences, the likes of which are too ugly to describe in this nice, polite FAQ document.

Okay, got that. Now what's all these stats and the really long poem at the beginning?

The long poem at the beginning is basically the WLT National Anthem and should appear in the first post of every WLT. No ifs, no buts, just do it! It can also be found in the off-site archives (http://wltstuff.vexingvixen.net/). Near the start of each new Willet, we post the stats from the last one, including the number of posts made by each individual willeteer and also the ongoing stats. A list of people who've started a WLT and how many they've done are included and almost of most importance, a list of the number of pages and posts from the start of the WLT. It is the World's Longest Thread after all. . . We need this as proof!

Why?

It's an expression of everyone's inner nerd, probably. It's also a huge pain in the neck - almost everyone complains about doing them but secretly loves doing so! Make sure you’ve mastered copy and paste before you start a Willet! And please -- if you know that you'll be logging off or have no desire to start a Willet, do not post within the last 10 lines of page 15 of any WLT. Of course, if you've not participated in at least two previous Willets, you're not eligible to start one, so don't even think of it.

Newbie pot? Cushion?

Simply, this is the initiation ceremony for new Willeteers. For the duration of your first WLT, you will be thrown in the newbie pot (take a hot bath of stew in other words). For your second WLT, you're a cushion. After that -- and only after that, you're eligible to compete to be a WLT-starter (yes, a daunting task, but we even have an Instruction Page (http://wltstuff.vexingvixen.net/wlt_start.html)) And please don't feel self-conscious about your trip into the newbie pot -- you'll find that willeteers are always getting wet, whether by jumping into the duck pond or hot tub, or getting dowsed with a bucket of water.

This affects me how?

Not at all. We're not some kinda bizarre clique of weirdos here (except in the sense that we blatantly are) so you can either post a few 'splash splash' type posts, or just breeze on past this thread in search of your favourite bonding or some serious discussion on which colour of dragon is most likely to hatch from an egg of indeterminate size but kept three degrees warmer than the others!

Smart operators will already have discerned that the initiation can be avoided by waiting until near the end of page 15, making one 'Hi I'm posting here' type post, thereby cutting out the entire newbie pot stage in a fell swoop of timing (or something). But be warned: the WLT has a habit of generating new traditions at the drop of a hat. Never think yourself safe!

Ketchup? Is this a diner?

No, though we often post about food and reading the WLT may make you extremely hungry. Quite a lot of the posts generated here are done when people log into the forums, and catch up with the progress of the WLT, usually by quoting lots of people's posts and responding. Catch up aka Ketchup, Cat Poop, Catching Hoops or some other such expression is the terminology used by all the Willeteers who enjoy this willet tradition.

Suppose I'm enjoying myself and want to go past the 15th page?

We really wouldn't recommend that. In fact, it's actually considered to be illegal and immoral -- at least in our somewhat skewed world view. Any posts beyond page 15 do not count in the running totals, and may result in bad-tempered reactions from other willeteers, ranging from sharp bites to a stint in the stocks, with other posters throwing rancid and rotten objects at you (also the punishment for those who post enough in one Willet to annoy others and bring complaints of how fast it went and how much ketchup resulted). If you value your limbs and clean clothing, remember this: Fifteen is thine magic number: the number shalt be fifteen. Thou shalt not stop at fourteen nor proceed to sixteen, but achieve the number fifteen in its fulfillment!

Is this thread anything to do with ClanFiend?

Not in and of itself, no. However, scientists working in a shed in East Sussex recently calculated that at its present rate of growth, by 2010 everything in the world will have something to do with ClanFiend, so don't hold your breath. For those who have still got no idea what we’re talking about and are now in deeper confuddlement with the mention of ClanFiend, check the ClanFiend Info Page! (http://wltstuff.vexingvixen.net/clanfiend.html)

Anything else I oughta know?

Probably, but we've been typing for ages now, so that's your lot, nearly. . .

We have just enough typing ability left to say:
’We hope your enjoy your visit here at the WLT. Please note that toilet facilities are located at the rear of the building, but due to budget cutbacks and no-one being bothered, these haven't been cleaned since 1912. Same deal with the kitchen - last month whatever lives in there nailed the door shut and set up an independent democratic republic.’

Anyhow, enjoy your stay and come back often!

[BZWingZero]

I am a cushion! I am a cushion!:hd: A big bright blue cushion that floats (does not fly, so don't ask for a ride) and has many traps, so be very careful where you sit down. :borg:

BTW, you aren't supposed to post before the WLT is declared open. It could get you sent back to the :newbie: pot.

[Lady Nichole]

Whoopsie :blush:

[Bullbound]

BZ, I'm not that cruel.

*turns the cushion over and floats above*

[Lady Nichole]

Wouldn't you know it? I finally emerge from the newbie pot and end up tossed back in for being unfalteringly :newbie:

:blush: again.

I promise to read the rules more carefully next time. Please don't drop this cushion back in the :stir:

[Cherlyn]

I am a cushion! I am a cushion!:hd: A big bright blue cushion that floats (does not fly, so don't ask for a ride) and has many traps, so be very careful where you sit down. :borg:

Sit? Oh, no, my dear girl . . .

*brings out a beach chair, fluffs cushion and rests her feet on it*

Ahhhhhhh . . .

[BZWingZero]

BZ, I'm not that cruel.

*turns the cushion over and floats above*

I never said you were. But I might be :devil:

[BZWingZero]

Well, I've gotta make a few phone calls to finalize details for my trip next week.

[Lady Nichole]

Sit? Oh, no, my dear girl . . .

*brings out a beach chair, fluffs cushion and rests her feet on it*

Ahhhhhhh . . .

*one of the cushions many traps reaches out and snatches Cherlyn's feet and bites her big toe* Take that! Now get your feet off before I am forced to use another trap!

[Cherlyn]

Well . . . I think I'll go Run! Escape! . . . then bed . . . I have a boy to send to school in the morning . . .

[Lady Nichole]

My enthusiasm has gotten me into trouble before. Don't tempt me.

[Lady Nichole]

Well, good night, friends, fiends, and others specimen. This cushion floats away....

[BZWingZero]

Well . . . I think I'll go Run! Escape! . . . then bed . . . I have a boy to send to school in the morning . . .

Alright :wave: goodnight then!

[BZWingZero]

Well, good night, friends, fiends, and others specimen. This cushion floats away....

Well goodnight then! :wave:

[Bullbound]

Help! The cushion is kidnapping me! :p

[Bullbound]

Have fun on your trip, BZ. I have one I'm going on this Friday through Monday. I like traveling.

[BZWingZero]

Have fun on your trip, BZ. I have one I'm going on this Friday through Monday. I like traveling.

It will be fun. And I'm only missing one day of class. And its online at that, so I can always watch it later.

[BZWingZero]

Help! The cushion is kidnapping me! :p

Why would I? It's entertaining to watch. *grabs popcorn* :D

[BZWingZero]

So a new WLT gets created and everybody disappears? :sad:

Now I'm bored.

[BZWingZero]

Do I have to start talking to myself?

[BZWingZero]

Do I have to start talking to myself?

It seems like I might need to.

[BZWingZero]

It seems like I might need to.

Interesting proposition. I think I'll take you up on that offer.

Twas an agonizing wait.

Twas an agonizing wait.I'm sure it was

[Bullbound]

Back. I ate dinner, cooked, and hung out a bit with the roommates. All the food talk made me hungry.

[Bullbound]

Ryuu, what happened to your dragon? :faint:

[Ryuu]

I saw that lolcat pic & just HAD to use it!:laugh:

[BZWingZero]

Back. I ate dinner, cooked, and hung out a bit with the roommates. All the food talk made me hungry.

Eeery similar to what I did. What did you eat?

I made hash brown potatoes with diced hot dog and melted cheese.

[Bullbound]

Fair enough.

[Bullbound]

I had shells stuffed with ground beef and cheese.

[Bullbound]

I've been on long enough. I need to go do other stuff. Take care all. :wave:

[BZWingZero]

I had shells stuffed with ground beef and cheese.

I think that shall become tomorrow night's dinner. Or lunch. Or both. :D

[Ryuu]

oooh, that's right! I CAN talk about food over HERE!!:mwahaha:

[BZWingZero]

I've been on long enough. I need to go do other stuff. Take care all. :wave:

:wave: G'night!

[BZWingZero]

oooh, that's right! I CAN talk about food over HERE!!:mwahaha:

Why wouldn't you be able to?

[Ryuu]

Why wouldn't you be able to?first one (http://www.annemccaffreyfans.org/forum/showpost.php?p=948598&postcount=1) in the list ;)

[BZWingZero]

Ah. That explains a lot.

[Ryuu]

*:wave:ing across the threads*

;)

[Bullbound]

Ok, sleep evades me for now.

[Bullbound]

:irked: Ok, now I'm pissed off once again with the people in that unmentionable thread. Half the people there say they don't WLT because they don't like having lots of rules and traditions but that thread has a ---- ton more than we do. Their titles should all be changed to "Ninny" or "Crunchy Dragon Food" because they have rocks for brains. :irked::argh::explode:

[Ryuu]

the rules over there are all jokes & aren't to be taken seriously:razz:

btw, I wrote that first one ;)

[Wolfegar]

Previously, in the Willet:

My friend and I are in the Newbie pot,
We've decided we like to splash and glare a lot.
The page is seven, only four pages more,
Then we'll be cushions sitting upon the floor!

Will that do?
Nice poem! Except the page was eleven on which that poem was posted.

I'll take some pie!

I had a monster Sundae today at a birthday meal!
I shared it with a friend but she left me the last bit and snapped a photo, I looked utterly, but highly amusing!
Pics or it didn't happen.

*tosses the sinkless lutefisk onto the ground* I simply cannot wait to be a cushion!
Don't forget to describe yourself when you are one.

I wonder what cookies would taste like in the stew. But I wouldn't ask for any. I'm new to the table and ought to use my best manners. :)
*Tosses :cookie: into the Newbie Pot.*

I like M&M's. Cookies are all right sometimes. Toss some M&M's in and I'll simmer down.
*Tosses an assortment of M&Ms into the Newbie Pot.* I have an M&M dispenser on my desk at w--k. ;)

There once was a page named 12
Into its depths we delve

But no fear had I
Because we talked about pie.
*Wants pie!*

Newbie Nichole sneaks out of the pot :runaway:
Uh oh.

*watches Nichole from under a bush*
*jumps out at her* ROAR
*tosses her back in to the pot*
INCOMING!
*SPLASH*
I knew that would happen.

The new green crispy M&Ms for the new Indiana Jones movie are supposed to be mint.
*Wants lots and lots of new minty M&Ms!*

Don't get technical with me!

Wait until you meet Sharon. She loves to bake and cook. Her bread has won a few prizes.
Tastes good too.

OMG! I just saw a tv spot for Hancock and it looks hilarious.
Was it the one where he picks up a beached whale and tosses it out into the ocean and it hits a sailboat?

Ewww.....

I'm pretty sure what we are sitting in is classed as toxic waste now....
Why? Did somebody fart?

Be right back. Roommate needs to use my computer.
Roommate should get their own computer.

Bully and Cherlyn, we'll hold you responsible if anyone deems this a motor willet.
Yeah!

Ouch.
My knee was aching this a.m., so I decided to soak in the tub before going to w*rk (the alternative was to drive to the uni to get my parking pass for next semester but it was pouring outside). Anyhow, I received a call and had to cut it short -- licensing rep showed up for a review and I had to rush to w*rk. No lunch break, no time off, and a very late pick-up to end the day. 10 hours of w*rk and my knee is really hurting now.
:hugs: They should pay you overtime.

Site crashed on me for a second there!
Not my fault. I was asleep then.

The first "motor WLT" was back at least 2 years ago (I hope) when I first attempted to post half of a WLT. Back then, the WLT was 600 posts long. I didn't succeed that time. Later, I tried it again and did it. My record so far is 2 wins, 3 losses. Sharon and a few others often try to defeat me as I make sure to announce it in advance. Many don't want to do :ketchup: on a motor WLT.
Yeah. I never do :ketchup: on motor Willets. Unless I don't realise it's a motor Willet and I've already done it.

and I had such a nice poem too....

(and yes, I had to edit it out, too....)

[edith]

There is mint M&M's?
Really? :eepfaint:

The new green crispy M&Ms for the new Indiana Jones movie are supposed to be mint.

ooh- I wonder if they'll do that here!

I really better learn from her, i'm moving out in september and only know how to cook an amazing Mac & cheese! :D

Want some student recipes- though I tend to eat whatever is in the cupboard.

Eh? What's this? TWO Newbies in the Newbie . . . that reminds me of a song . . .

Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar? . . . :cookie:

*Throws in great green gobs of green . . .* No, better not . . . it is supper time for some people around here . . . and I don't want the potted potables to puke in the pot.

I learned that one too!

Any basic meals would be ace to learn, as i'm sure it would be unhealthy to live off of mac and cheese for the duration of my University stay !

Are you veggie- if not, I know a couple of pasta dishes and a curry sauce and things.

*squashes the :smurf:* Enough of you.
*Tastes some ramen+whatever+whatever and spits it out into the stew*
Figures you University Kids would be the ones preparing this stew.

This university "kid" (I'm 22, I'd like to point out) can cook!

Ouch.

I shall try and get involved in the roleplaying part of NKT tomorrow, me thinks!

But for now I'm off to sleep!

:D Ciao!

go for it! ('tis most fun- I have 5 characters at the weyr now)

Have fun with the RP. I tend to stay here and venture out rarely. I like the WLT.

Ian't Moris coming to the gather? :sad:

I've been 21 nearly a week now and I still haven't found the perfect drink. :sad:

It's ongoing.

and now for this willet...

[edith]

oh- everyone was boring... oh well!

Hot chocolate time!

[FallingLlama]

Ok, I'd better post in this Willet while I can -- back to alternate w*rkplace today so with commjute will automatically have a longer day than usual.

Just a warning -- if I arrive home to more than 3 pages, there will be no :ketchup:

[FallingLlama]

Oh, and Bully, I tried to answer your question last night but the site had its mini-crash at about that time and I played Runescape instead.

Anyhow, Philadelphia is closer to DC than Orlando is (where I thought you were but now I realize that you're in Tampa -- still far), but 142 miles to drive. Of course, in this area you can take trains to just about anywhere.

I got the job interview I was waiting for!

[elfycat]

What's it for Edith?

*Eyes the cushion warily*

I don't think I had traps, I'm sure I didn't. (I may have had retractable claws though :evil:)

[Lady Nichole]

Previously, in the Willet:
You should describe your traps. *Refuses to sit on Cushion Nichole.*


There are so many that I'm having trouble remembering them all. But... here goes, in alphabetic order:

Animal claws, board with nails, catapult, dental assistant (:shake:), elephant dung (for the catapult, geyser, hanging noose, ice-cream sundae... (hey... that's not uninviting... I might be rethinking that one...) jacks that can be spewed all over the floor where they can be easily stepped on, Lightning bolts in a can:whistle:, Mirror trap that makes you dizzy and turns you into a cushion.

You'll have to settle for half the alphabet for now. I have to go to work.

[Lady Nichole]

I'll disable my traps for you, Wolfegar. You did offer to adopt me as a neice. (I think it was you...) :)

[Gini_xX]

Are you veggie- if not, I know a couple of pasta dishes and a curry sauce and things.



go for it! ('tis most fun- I have 5 characters at the weyr now)

Nope I'm not a veggie! And i need all the help I can get :D

Is htere any special process that i have to go through to get characters in
here? Actually I shall not be lazier than I already am, I'll go check the rules!

[Gini_xX]

I got the job interview I was waiting for!

Congratulations :D:D :boogie:

Oh! And i have to describe my cushion!

I am a surprise beanbag! My surprises vary from - Hug's, dispensing cookies or muffins and compliments to throttling, random abuse and tickling traps.

:D

[edith]

I can manage egg, cheese and butterbeans- that only takes a couple of minutes.

1 dessertspoon cornflour
1/4 pint milk
small tin of butterbeans
2 eggs
a handful of grated cheese
salt and pepper to taste

heat up most of the milk until it boils
Meanwhile mix the cornflour and salt and pepper with a little milk

:wave: good morning all!

:ketchup: isn't happening, so if there's anything I missed, too bad. :D

[BZWingZero]

:irked: Ok, now I'm pissed off once again with the people in that unmentionable thread. Half the people there say they don't WLT because they don't like having lots of rules and traditions but that thread has a ---- ton more than we do. Their titles should all be changed to "Ninny" or "Crunchy Dragon Food" because they have rocks for brains. :irked::argh::explode:

Our rules here are slightly more steeped in tradition. Like a good cup of tea. :D That might scare some people away.

[BZWingZero]

I got the job interview I was waiting for!

Congratulations and good luck!

[Cherlyn]

*one of the cushions many traps reaches out and snatches Cherlyn's feet and bites her big toe* Take that! Now get your feet off before I am forced to use another trap!

Hey, I am used to having a Pug or two in my lap or on my feet - nibbled toes go with the territory - it doesn't phase me in the slightest . . .

Well, hell! You evidently were taking too long, Cherlyn :razz:

9mins! Shameful!:shake:

Try to type and have a 7 year old boy going, "Momma, look!" and he is trying to turn your face to see the cartoon showing on Boomerang! when it is an old Batman cartoon that you know by heart and you are trying to keep him from using the mouse to shut down your computer window so he can have your undivided attention and you are trying to tell him to go to bed because he has school in the morning . . .

I'll disable my traps for you, Wolfegar. You did offer to adopt me as a neice. (I think it was you...) :)

You may not realize, but Wolfegar has a loooooong list of :fiend:siblings - if you are his :fiend:niece, I could either be your :fiend:mom or :fiend:aunt ...

[Gini_xX]

I can manage egg, cheese and butterbeans- that only takes a couple of minutes.

1 dessertspoon cornflour
1/4 pint milk
small tin of butterbeans
2 eggs
a handful of grated cheese
salt and pepper to taste

heat up most of the milk until it boils
Meanwhile mix the cornflour and salt and pepper with a little milk
Add the hot milk
return to the pan
add the cheese and stir until the sauce thickens
add the butterbeans
pour into a microwave proof dish
make two indentations for the eggs and break them into them
prod with a fork (otherwise they explode)
zap in the microwave for 2 minutes

Thanks very much Edith!

[Cherlyn]

See if you start reciting the lines that comes next, he will be awestruck and you can continue doing whatever you were doing without the distraction. :D

But I do pull that on him and it just fascinates him . . . until he starts wanting to tell me about Power Rangers . . . but I have kept ahead of him on Spongebob Squarepants . . . but most of the Super Friends, Justice League, Tom and Jerry (as a Saturday show), Pink Panther, and Wacky Races I saw when they were first aired . . . and when he is watching the TV in the front room, I can keep up with the Backyardagains, Dora, Diago, Little Einsteins, and Chowder . . . But I just hate the cartoon, "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy" . . . :yuk:

[Gini_xX]

YUmmm....
Toast! :D

[BZWingZero]

Those old cartoons are some of the best things shown. I used to watch them for hours on end back when Cartoon Network had them. True, they were long in reruns at that point but they were still excellent.

And yes, Billy and Mandy is terrible.

I wish I got boomerang, it just isn't on the cable system here.

[BZWingZero]

YUmmm....
Toast! :D

Toast is delicious. Especially with jam or butter. However, I prefer a bagel with creamcheese and lox.

[Gini_xX]

Ooo bagel!
Haven't had one in ages!

The bread mum bought recently is perticularly excellent for toasting!

I'm in the Pit o' Doom because I was depressed and lonely so I decided to go visit the smurfs.

I love newbies. WLT's go so much faster when they are just learning. They also taste good with bbq sauce!

We are cusions now though, i can't imagine they would taste quite as good with BBQ sauce! :giggle:

[BZWingZero]

I love newbies. WLT's go so much faster when they are just learning. They also taste good with bbq sauce!

These are facts. However, WLTs go faster when I'm on a sugar/caffeine high. Hasn't happened in a long time but as the morning goes by and my sweet tea intake increases, the likelyhood of it happening approaches asymptotically—but doesn't quite reach—one.

:D

[BZWingZero]

We are cusions now though, i can't imagine they would taste quite as good with BBQ sauce! :giggle:

Depends on the type of cushion. :devil:

However, most cushions burn and fire makes a good place to roast marshmallows for smores. :D

[Gini_xX]

Oh and Happy Birthday Silver!

[BZWingZero]

Oh and Happy Birthday Silver!

Ah yes, I almost forgot as well (even though I commented in the thread in the lounge :D),

LOL you need to go on a caffiene kick more often BZ

LOL you need to go on a caffiene kick more often BZ

So your saying I need to drink another cup of tea? It'll only be my fourth on the day.

Although this might not be a caffeine kick, might be the tbsp of sugar that goes in each cup of tea.

[BZWingZero]

Last time I went all out crazy in a WLT while on a sugar high, I got sent to the Pit of Doom for the next WLT. Might be because of how I monopolized a few pages. Had an entire page to myself and most of a few others.

Twas the first, and I think only time, so far, that I broke 100 posts in a WLT. True, this was back when the WLT was capped at 500 posts instead 750.

I thought you were an engineer? Engineers round more often than physicists!

Will a haiku work?

[Gini_xX]

Come out :sad:. We won't hurt you. We just want some smores. :D Your welcome to have one or three (but not two) if you would like.

And why not two BZ?

[BZWingZero]

I thought you were an engineer? Engineers round more often than physicists!

That is true, but my calculations resulted in a binary value. This was interpreted as Post (True, or 1) and not Post (False, or 0). The code for it was something like:

int Should_Post{
num = rand(time(NULL))%1;
if num == 1{
return num;
}

else{
num += 1;
return num;
}
}

[BZWingZero]

And why not two BZ?

Because there's an odd number of graham crackers. We need to have enough to make whole numbers of smores left.

[Gini_xX]

I see!

Still it means you'll have to burn me to make them and I won't give up that easily!

*Runs around*

[BZWingZero]

int Should_Post{
num = rand(time(NULL))%1;
if num == 1{
return num;
}

else{
num += 1;
return num;
}
}

If you couldn't follow the code, here's what it does:
It generates a random integer between 0 and 1. If it is equal to 1, it returns the value generated. Otherwise it adds 1 to the value generated then returns the 'edited' number

[BZWingZero]

I see!

C is slightly more complex than Fortran.

Python on the other hand is quite simple for how powerful it is.
Same code in Python:

num = randint(0,1)
if num != 1:
num = num + 1
return num

Oh well, I hope you all enjoy the smores, I shall be coming back to haunt you!

I've gotten a bit of practice from Willets and the beginning of pages.

[edith]

I hope they're short nanotubes. The long ones might have an "asbestos effect"

[Gini_xX]

So i take it that was your poem for starting this page?

[BZWingZero]

Well, the longest nanotube created to date is only somewhere about 7 cm...

[BZWingZero]

So i take it that was your poem for starting this page?

Aye, it was.

Grr, flood filter.

[BZWingZero]

I guess I should run that program again. I wonder if it will say I should post again? :D

If anyone else wants to run it, I recommend using the gcc compiler.

[BZWingZero]

Well it returned a value of True, so I guess another post (such as this one) is in order.

[BZWingZero]

I hope they're short nanotubes. The long ones might have an "asbestos effect"

Also, is there anything nowadays that doesn't give you cancer?

[edith]

not really nano in anything but diameter (worked with nanoparticles)

Now if only we could make them miles long and glue them together with a good enough glue, then we could finally have a space elevator.

Wouldn't that be cool...
I can glue nanoparticles together (by accident). Gold is awful!

[BZWingZero]

Wouldn't that be cool...

But will the glue hold thousands of miles of carbon nanotube wires with the associated weight of the cables, the breeze in the upper atmospehere, the force of the elevator car, and the force of the counterweight in geosynchronous orbit?

Those are the two big things that are stopping a space elevator from happening.

Nope! It just ruins experiments :D

[BZWingZero]

Also, where would you put such a wire so that it wouldn't be hit by passing air travel, which would be extremely damaging.

It would need to be along the equator, most likely somewhere out in the middle of the Pacific.

Sounds like my job, except for that whole 10 hour day part.

[BZWingZero]

Ok, time to switch from hot to iced tea and shamelessly increase my post count for the thread.

[elfycat]

BZWingZero

Switch to herbal tea. A week of caffeine withdrawl headaches in order to drink something the colour and possibly the taste of urine. Worth it?

I might go back to caffeine.

[BZWingZero]

Alright, quick calculation: 60 posts/3 pages = 20posts/page
20 posts/page * 15 pages = 300 posts.

It looks like I'm a little insane this WLT.

[Bullbound]

Why would I want to switch to herbal tea? Caffeine == good!

However some herbal teas are good just before bed, but not worth the caffeine withdrawl to drink them exclusively. Plus regular tea tastes good, especially the quality stuff. My current favorite is a superb second flush Darjeeling.

Y'know what the worst part of job hunting is around here? It isn't the lack of job (which is bad). It isn't the sifting through job ads. It is the running around after misprinted addresses. It seems to be an epidemic facing the newspapers around here. Rarely can they manage to print the correct address. Sometimes it is just the wrong number (3 and 8 switched) but sometimes the street name is wrong (N or S, E or W).

That is fine, as long as they print the proper name for where they are. Otherwise you wind up driving up and down the wrong section and with gas being what it is...

[BZWingZero]

That is fine, as long as they print the proper name for where they are. Otherwise you wind up driving up and down the wrong section and with gas being what it is...

Agreed. However, I know of at least one road around here that has a number over its whole length. Sections of it have names with east and west variants, these are what the businesses use. However all the street signs have the number instead of the name-of-the-block.

[BZWingZero]

And it doesn't help that there is a mall and a dozen strip malls along the road in a one mile stretch. All of them have the street address with the name of the street. None of which say what [strip] mall they are in. However that area, the street is called by its number exclusively. Makes it impossible to find any of the businesses in the area without calling first.

I love darjeeling. Are you also one of those people who have a little tea making ritual for the nice stuff?

Someone at work offered to make me tea. Now as nurses we can usually make a damn fine cup of tea, even with cheap and nasty tea bags (personally I believe that's 'coz we infuse it with care etc and actually make a kind of spiritual healing in a cup remedy, but then I'm :weirdo:). I said, 'White, no sugar, as it comes'

They then replied. 'I bet that's not how you make it at home'

I agreed and then told them exactly how I make it at home, at length.

Their reply 'So white, no sugar, and as it comes then'

[elfycat]

Right, off to go find my teapot for one and my darjeeling. End of caffeine withdrawl. (I was only doing it as I'm trying to detox this week. Hubby is away and it gives me a chance to. But I had alcohol yesterday so I'm not doing well)

Some of the best potpie I have ever had was reheated. Fresh is good and gooey and hot and the vegetables are sometimes still a little crisp but let it cool down and reheat it the next day...all the flavors have melted together...now I'm hungry and I just ate.

[BZWingZero]

:coffee: I prefer the cheap tea bags. I can rarely tell the differences unless I drink the two teas at about the same time. Why spend money on the costly stuff when the cheap stuff works just as well?

Because I can taste a difference. The cheap stuff is relatively flat flavor-wise and has a slightly bitter aftertaste. The good stuff has a distinct blend of various flavors and no bitter aftertaste.

[BZWingZero]

However, the cheap stuff makes excellent iced tea. The cool temperature removes the bitter taste and the flavor profile is good for an extra strong brew for when it is eventually diluted.

Or you could do what I usually do and not :ketchup: at all and start a new conversation tangent when you get in. The extent of my :ketchup: is often just the current page.

*Takes water from the :newbie: pot and douses her friend Gini to put out the fire*

Do not make ash out of a respectable beanbag, people. :shake: You should be more polite to a person who is so bright and full of surprises. But, since you have some smores made already... Gimmie!
*snatches a smore from someone else's hands*

Aww thank you!

And here have my last smore! It's more special than the last rolo you know ;)

:D

What did your boss do?

[Lady Nichole]

A lot of reasons. Mostly she's demanding and unprofessional. (Not that wishing someone would get hit by a bus is exactly professional.) She has managed to drive away 10 employees in a month and a half.

[Lady Nichole]

I'm moving out of state to escape her.:runaway:

[Gini_xX]

Yikes! :o

[BZWingZero]

You could always voice your complaints to HR.

[BZWingZero]

I'm moving out of state to escape her.:runaway:

Isn't that a little drastic?

[Lady Nichole]

You could always voice your complaints to HR.

I've been doing that for 3 years.

And I'm just kidding about escaping her by moving out of state. But, however, if I liked her better, and didn't think there were some ethical issues with her management style, I would never have looked for a new job.

[Lady Nichole]

And her boss is oblivious and likes it that way.

[Lady Nichole]

Time for some changes. I was just offered a corporate job. But I already signed a contract with the job I accepted last month.

[BZWingZero]

And her boss is oblivious and likes it that way.

And that is when it is time to start looking elsewhere. :applause:

[Lady Nichole]

And that is when it is time to start looking elsewhere. :applause:

Thanks for the support.

[BZWingZero]

The top of page 5,
A post hangs, lonely and new,
A fresh poem awaits.

/Another haiku

[BZWingZero]

I need to start looking for a new job as well. My office is broke and I'm the most expendable.

[fejar]

You could always voice your complaints to HR.

Or learn to drive a bus :angel:

[Lady Nichole]

I need to start looking for a new job as well. My office is broke and I'm the most expendable.

That's not good. Are you at work currently?

[BZWingZero]

Or learn to drive a bus :angel:

:haha2:

[Lady Nichole]

Or learn to drive a bus :angel:

And that would help me, how...?

[BZWingZero]

That's not good. Are you at work currently?

Nope, I got off at 1pm EDT. Its only a part-time position.

[fejar]

Well ............................................



Nah I shouldn't encourage Bossiside should I

[BZWingZero]

And that would help me, how...?

You said earlier:
By the way, I hate my boss and kind of wish she would get hit by a bus.

[Lady Nichole]

Well ............................................



Nah I shouldn't encourage Bossiside should I

Um... WOW. :megaphone Nichole figures out what was meant!

[Gini_xX]

Bossiside

:haha2:

[Lady Nichole]

:giggle: I actually tried to get a bus license but the would only give them to green cushions, and I'm blue. Sad news for me. :shake:

[fejar]

:bow:

Make sure and sit under the yellow light next time!

[Gini_xX]

We still have 10 pages more 'til we are fully fledged Willetiers!
:eepfaint:

[Lady Nichole]

Make sure and sit under the yellow light next time!

Darn! Wish I would have thought of that!

[BZWingZero]

Make sure and sit under the yellow light next time!

This would work, depending on the hue of the light.

[fejar]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh the benefits of hindsight!

[Lady Nichole]

We still have 10 pages more 'til we are fully fledged Willetiers!
:eepfaint:

I know, right? And we're totally ready to leave cushiondom!
*Lady Nichole hopes no one reviews the first page of this WLT and tosses her back in the :newbie: pot.*

[BZWingZero]

:eepfaint:

Well, if you want to get on with it, you need to post more. I'm doing my part and am on track for >300 posts this WLT.

[BZWingZero]

*Lady Nichole hopes no one reviews the first page of this WLT and tosses her back in the :newbie: pot.*

I guess we'll let it slide the first time. But if it happens again.... :devil:

[Gini_xX]

Hehe

:bouncy:

[fejar]

Braggart!

[Gini_xX]

Not there again! The bath of toxic waste!
Eugh!

[BZWingZero]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh the benefits of hindsight!

For some reason it is always really close to 20/20. :giggle:

[Lady Nichole]

If you all quit jumping out of this thread to talk to the snobs in the other one (I mean ones) then we could be well on our way out of cushiondom.

[fejar]

:yes:

[Lady Nichole]

Braggart!

Who? Me?:whistle:

[Gini_xX]

Nobody has even used me as a cushion yet!
They have used me as a smore maker *glares at BZ*

[BZWingZero]

A browser with multiple tabs makes this unnecessary. However you run into the post-flood-limiter a bit more that way.

Which site do you mean couse I've met few snobs on here, some right royal pita's but not many snobs!

[fejar]

No BZWZ

What? :whistle:

When I was new I was dropped in the WLT pool and left to sink. And this was before smores were invented. And we had to crawl to and from the WLT, uphill both ways. And that was just to get to the mailbox to mail out our posts. You had to wait a week to see the new posts and hope they didn't misspell your address.

Twas a long time ago, so not all of the details are entirely accurate. Its hard to remember. :D

[Lady Nichole]

Too harsh! Too harsh! I was teasing because yesterday everyone abandoned us because of our traditions.

[BZWingZero]

No BZWZ

Wha'd I do?

[Lady Wolf]

Ahh! Please don't attempt to :D

But he's so cute and only has two teeth - unlike the Mouseling who has tusks.

[BZWingZero]

1/3 of the way to my goal and less than 1/3 of the WLT completed.

[Gini_xX]

Twas a long time ago, so not all of the details are entirely accurate. Its hard to remember. :D

Are ANY of them accurate? :razz:

[BZWingZero]

But he's so cute and only has two teeth - unlike the Mouseling who has tusks.

Aww. :D

[Lady Wolf]

:banghead:

We need a good facepalm smilie.


Not as bad as the other night when I knocked a piece of pasta outta the saucepan and straight onto my bare foot! Normally it's either cheese sauce down a clean t-shirt or white hot pasta down the inside of a low cut summer top (i.e. burnt cleavage)....!

[BZWingZero]

Are ANY of them accurate? :razz:

Probably. Which ones are I'm not sure.

[Gini_xX]

But he's so cute and only has two teeth - unlike the Mouseling who has tusks.

Okay, if I HAD to choose which one to be set upon by I guess I would choose the Wolfling!

I got half-eaten by my gran's dog's 6 week old puppies today also!

[fejar]

Wha'd I do?

Well, if you want to get on with it, you need to post more. I'm doing my part and am on track for >300 posts this WLT.

What kind of puppies?

[Gini_xX]

Haha, this should be fun explaining :D
Few people have ever heard of them!

Hovawart puppies!

[fejar]

What kind of puppies?

Doggy ones?????????????????????

[BZWingZero]

:wekiss: Bless the poor confused one he don't remember!

It was about five years ago. Why should I have to remember back that far?

[fejar]

Haha, this should be fun explaining :D
