[Timberwolf]

Hey Wolf....do monkeys REALLY do it with footballs??

[Melz]

Wolf, is hay really for horses? And is grass really cheaper? I can't get grass to grow in a drought and I have no horses, so this is possibly an economical issue. I could grow hay and have horses. I need an answer. The livelyhood of my lawn and pet ownership depends on it!

[Wolfcounsel]

"Hey Wolf....do monkeys REALLY do it with footballs??" --Timberwolf

Usually the Spider monkeys are the ones that try, but the football has always won.

"Wolf, is hay really for horses? And is grass really cheaper? I can't get grass to grow in a drought and I have no horses, so this is possibly an economical issue." --Melz

Chop up as many cactus, sage, tumbleweeds, whatever, into little pieces, hack up the dirt where you wish grass to grow. Fill a tub with a keg of stale beer and the choppings until you get a soggy mulch. Spread it on the plot and plow it up. Water every other day, keeping the plot damp but not too wet. The beer and the plants should start giving you a green plot in a short time. The horses will love it, so if you get any horses, the grass will be cheaper after a while. Do a few plots at a time, and transfer some plugs into the newer plots. Stale beer is the trick. Oh yeah, I forgot. Buy some grass seeds if there are no more grass roots left where you want them.

[Rink]

Hey Wolfie, How much coffee do you drink a day, and whats its tensile strenth (your brewin strength, is it thick enuff to float a horseshoe on it and strong enuff to grow chest hairs on your chest and backside?? or is it watery and weak with little flavor?)

Do you like your coffee straight up black or do you like to put cream and sugar in it?

[DesertFox]

Wolfie, what do all you wolves talk about when you gather in, er, council?

[Wolfcounsel]

Coffee, I drink about three or four mugs a day, Rink. On weekends, I drink about two pots a day.:coffee: I like it brewed the Navy way, with a little bit of salt in the grounds. It's thick enough to put a bite in your tongue, and hair all over you. And I use milk and sugar in the first cup. The rest are straight black.

"Wolfie, what do all you wolves talk about when you gather in, er, council?" --DesertFox

[CzechPrince]

I like these threads, I hope someone makes one about me.

[Rink]

Hey Wolfie, Are you a "Meat an potatoes" man?

[Wolfcounsel]

I slept late this morning. Okay, Rink. For a good, simple Navy coffee, get at least three different blends of coffee grounds and mix them together in equal amounts, but two or even one blend will do. Instead of the normal measurement for the coffee pot, add three fourths more, but you can add less if you prefer. Sprinkle just a little salt on the grounds and start the brew. This works better in a percolator. Just remember to use really cold water. Enjoy.


I am barefoot most of the time, but when I wear shoes, the ones that the Sears store here sells, still made in USA, are my favorite ones, lightweight and rugged enough for climbing trees with the grandkids.

I prefer simple foods, like baked potatoes and beef, or pork, or chicken, sometimes with mixed vegetables and white rice, and a huge tumbler of iced water.

How high can a bee fly?

[Wolfcounsel]

Okay, Unk.

I take that to mean the regular honeybee. They can fly just about any height, as long as the temperature and the air quantity are suitable. They are found as high up as the Himalayas. I'm not sure about the wasp type. Honeybees, as well as the African type, can also be outrun by an average person, since their flight speed is about 15 miles per hour tops.

I make it a rule to NOT let a subject of one thread, to move off to another.

I may disagree with you on one thing, and think that you are a total idiot, ON THAT THREAD, but when it moves off to another subject, I do not ALLOW my anger, or frustration to follow me to another thread, such as this one, because we may actually agree on this thread, and may be able to help each other prove another point, TOGETHER.

SO, my wish would be, that you would not allow your frustration with me on an evolution or whatever thread, to follow you to other parts of the board.

[Rink]

Okay, Prez. Why does a negative times a negative equal a positive? Give the math logic, please.

I'll answer that question

A negative times a negative always produces a positive number.

Now do I get my no-prize wolfie?

O gawd forgot to explain why they do that grumbles.

[Rink]

Ok ok ok I Think I can explain this

My book says this on the negative numbers

The opposite of a 5 is a -5.
The opposite of a 7 is a -7.
The opposite of a 1 is a -1.
The opposite of a -5 is - (-5), or 5.
The opposite of a -8 is - (-8), or 8.

So the opposite of a positive number is a negative number, and the opposite of a negative number is a positive number.

In effect...

The absolute value of a number is never a negative because it is a distance, and a distance is always measured in positive units (unless it happens to be 0).

Examples 5 = 5 The number of 5 is 5 units from 0

(-3) = 3 The number -3 is 3 units from 0

(-7) = 7 The number -7 is 7 units from 0

etc

Now do I get my no-prize?

Yes I need to re-read my math (If I'm gonna go back to school here soon.)

So thanks for makin me work at this lol.

[Rink]

Soooooooo

another example (yes this is the LAST One)

if A represents any positive number, then it is always true that:

-(-A) = A

Gawd I Hate Math!!!

[Wolfcounsel]

I understood your logic, Rink. Yes, you win! Anybody want further explanation why a negative times a negative equals a positive?:laugh:




It's a pretend prize.==>:car: a new smilie car!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Melz--

If you have ABS in your car, you might have put a fault into your car's computer if you did a little by-pass. Use the hand signal in the meantime, and head for a reliable mechanic in the area. It might also be a loose wire causing the short (?), open, maybe. I would say 9 times out of 10, a loose wire or part is the culprit. Good luck.

[DesertFox]

Wolfie, you said the math logic. I ain't seen no math logic yet. Just math.

Splain, pleeze.

[Wolfcounsel]

DesertFox--


Okay. Here is a simple explanation:

Get 10 blue chips and 10 red chips. The blue represent negative, and the red represent positive. I ask you a simple trivia question. Each correct answer, give me a blue chip and give yourself a red chip. You now have 11 red chips. If you answer incorrectly, give me a red chip and I will give you a blue chip. You will then have 11 blue and nine red.

Blue=negative 1 times negative answer=one wrong answer +
-------------------------------------------------------------
Red= positive 1 times positive answer=one right answer +

If I try to give you a - blue chip for a correct answer, you get a negative. If I try to give you a + red chip for an incorrect answer, you get a negative.

Clear as mud?:laugh:

The negative sign deals with a mathematical representation of the number line, such as -10,000 feet to +10,000 feet, or something along the lines of actual physical things. In the middle is always zero.

[DesertFox]

Huh?

[Wolfcounsel]

You have to do it with another person. Remember, blue is negative, and red is positive. Read the addendum to my post above.

[DesertFox]

I understand about number lines, and I know that minus times minus is spozed to be plus, but why? :question:

[Wolfcounsel]

Okay. Say you are on a mountain 20,000 feet high. Halfway up is your camp, at 10,000 feet. That is your reference. Below you is 10,000 feet, and above you is 10,000 feet. Go down 1000 feet and you went to -1000. At each -1000 feet, cut a foot off a 50 foot rope you are carrying. At -5000 feet, you will have cut off 5 feet of rope. Put those pieces in a bag and climb up. Every +1000 feet, take a foot of rope out of the bag and drop it. You now have 4 feet, now 3, now 2, now 1, and finally at your camp, you have no more pieces. Think about this concept for a while. You will be amazed.

[DesertFox]

Admittedly, that's flat out amazin'.

But why does a minus times a minus equal a plus? :question:

[Wolfcounsel]

"But why does a minus times a minus equal a plus? :question:" --DesertFox

It's only a method of labeling the actual value of the number at a certain point on the number line. If you were at -1000 feet, in your bag would be 1 foot of rope, not minus 1 foot. At -2000 feet, you would have 2 feet of rope, not minus 2 feet. If at the camp, you continue going up and cutting one foot off the rope each 1000 feet, at what point would you have cut off all the rope? At the camp, you would have 45 feet of rope, and zero feet in your bag.

If you prefer the abstract way, I'll post it up tomorrow. Buenas noches!:laugh:

[DesertFox]

I think it's just a rule they made up so it would all work. I don't think there IS any "why."

[Rink]

I understand the concept just I really am poor in the explanation department, refers to Wolfie to explain this better than I would ever be able to do.

One thing I have a hard time in math is fractions, addition in fractions is different than multiplication in fractions.

I'm still havin a hard time on that, not to mention geometry, hard to envision math numbers in a spacial way for me for some reason.

That one is a whopper-doozie.

decimals I'm ok by, the negative numbers is a cinch for me to DO (but not describe)

Some math concepts I understand, some I dont, (dunno why)

[Wolfcounsel]

"I think it's just a rule they made up so it would all work. I don't think there IS any "why."" --DesertFox

Okay, never mind the abstract. If you think of the absolute value of any number, it may make it easier to figure out.

Say this problem --> -4 times -2. Okay,
It's like saying you took away 2 apples from a basket 4 times. You cannot say you took -8 apples. It sounds odd. But with the -4 as a helper, you can say you took away 8 apples, absolutely. There are now 8 apples missing in the basket.

Now this one --> -4 times 2.
It is simpler to translate as, you took away 4 apples twice from the basket. The basket is now short (-) 8 apples.
Both ways are just different ways of expressing the same absolute value of the result.

Maybe that explanation rings the bell louder?:question:

[Wolfcounsel]

"One thing I have a hard time in math is fractions, addition in fractions is different than multiplication in fractions." --Rink

I remember my teacher drilled us in fractions on and on. Practice really does help.:laugh:

[Rink]

Yea but I forget which fractions to do across and which ones to do crossways.

Multiplying fractions I think you do straight across, but with addition, its different, you cant just go straight across and arrive at the answer

Am I correct?

Correct me if I'm wrong over that.

I keep getting mixed up over that.

[Rink]

Now when it comes to Unit analysis I know how to do the work just fine and dandy, the prob I have is memorizing the freaiking charts from metric to American.

Scientific notation wasnt hard, just a wee bit confusing in some parts.

Now polynomials.... forget it, its difficult, not impossible but very difficult for me to grasp.

I think also in Fractions mixed numbers tend to throw me also.

[Wolfcounsel]

"Multiplying fractions I think you do straight across, but with addition, its different, you cant just go straight across and arrive at the answer" --Rink

Yep. The simplest way is to multiply the denominators by each other. Then cross multiply the original denominators with the opposing numerators.

EXAMPLE --

3/4 + 1/2 = ?/8 + ?/8
Then, 2 X 3 =6, and 4 X 1 = 4
6/8 + 4/8 =10/8, simplified to 1 and 2/8, reduced to 1 and 1/4

[Rink]

Cool :thumb:

Can you be my math guru? :D

"Is it true that in Egyptian heiroglyphics, KENNEDY means "Fat-assed, drunken, illegitimate offspring of Isis and a cockroach"?" --DoctorDoom

The hieroglyph for Shamu shows a basket, water, two vultures, two feathers, and a hand. The double vultures would fit the dough boy's size, and so could the water, and the hand is his non-stop demanding of more taxes, and the basket could be an ancient representation of a roach motel, and the double feathers could be symbols of parenthood. I would take it to mean "son of a cockroach humper free with other people's money who was involved with water". WHEW! That was a difficult one.:laugh:

After closer scrutiny, I see that the basket represents the leftovers from a huge ancient picnic, and in Shamu's case, it's empty, as would be expected. The feathers are representations of cockroach antennae.

I cannot use your blood, but you can use mine, or type B, or type A. I believe the doctor also checks for things called antigens and antibodies in the blood also. Type AB negative is supposed to be extremely rare.

Really? Now you got my curiousity going. Tell us how it works. I'm interested.



My numerical system is loosely based on the Mayan alphabet, I was so impressed with the Mayan alphabet I decided to make a numerical system using something that looks like it to some extent.

Like this for instance, this is the numerical equivalent of 2005:

http://w3.gorge.net/rink/2005.JPG

Think top to bottom in reading this...

[Geoffrey20005]

As found in the book "Schrodinger's Kittens and the search for Reality" by John Gribbon, he states that quantam physics tells that, on the quantam level, an atom is impossible. There must be some transfer of energy to keep the electron from collapsing into the atom. They called this third-level particle a 'gluon'. Once we developed an atom-smasher, we recorded the traces left after we destroyed the smasher, and some of the recordings perfectly matched that which we anticipated a gluon would leave. So if you believe quantam physics, gluons do actually exits. Therefore, there are gluons for every atom in your body... so for you to exist, you should have more than 8 gluons in your body.

-Geo

[Wolfcounsel]

"...there are gluons for every atom in your body... so for you to exist, you should have more than 8 gluons in your body." --Geoffrey20005


Each atom has a color combination of eight gluons. Pardon the slip-up.

[DesertFox]

Geoffrey, I think you misunderstood Gribben. Gluons hold quarks together within the nucleus. The electromagnetic force holds the electron to the nucleus.

My blood type is the rarest, only 1% of people have it, so I have heard. It is AB negative. I don't understand blood donating issues. Well besides the fact that I pass out everytime I donate blood, I do understand THAT issue.

If you needed blood, could you use my blood? Would your blood work in me, or everyone? I never have gotten that concept down.

Type AB blood is the universal acceptor. Type O is the universal donor, and a person with type O blood can only accept type O blood. People with type AB blood do not have antibodies for the other blood types, so this is why people with this type can accept any other type. People with type O blood have no antigens, so this is why it can be accepted by anyone. An antigen is a foreign substance that can elicit an immune response, such as antibody formation. The antibodies then can work on the antigens.

Thank you for the info Trev, and I think I have heard this once before but didn't remember it while passing out giving blood. So then, what is the importance of my rare AB negative blood? To give it I mean...there is no blood type which requires only AB negative right? And those with AB negative can get any blood right?

Agree with me and I can then argue with anyone who tries to get me to pass out giving blood again..lol.

Okay since this is a WC thread, ummm.. If I promise I can stump you, can I win this thread and it be done with upon my winning??

The only people you can give your blood to are those who have type AB blood. However, like I said in my last post, they could also receive type O, A, and B blood. So I doubt it is essential for you to be giving blood if you do not want to.

Probably it is not that, but then where did I get that? I have no idea.

[Riverboat]

Dear Mr. WolfCounsel:

I received the following in an e-mail from a desperate member of the family. It was too much for me to handle, so I thought I'd throw the problem at you for your expert, perspicacious analysis.

She wrote:

After years of relentless searching, I finally found the man of my dreams. We plan to be married. However, I do have a problem.

My sister voted for Bill Clinton. My mother has thought for the past 17 years that the CIA has had a transmitter implanted in her brain. She says that she receives messages from Moscow every Tueesday evening. My father had a sex-change operation last year, so now I have two mothers (just like Heather). He changed his name from Horace to Hortense. My older brother is serving time in the state pen for attempted murder, and he bears a striking resemblance to Barbra Streisand. My younger brother sells drugs to 12-year- olds on the playground.

Now back to my problem. I really love this man and I don’t want to lose him. Should I tell him about my sister?

[Wolfcounsel]

"Doesn't this:

3. Wherefore art thou Romeo, if thou aren't Romeo?

Mean Why are you Romeo?" --Melz

You are correct. Except many people think 'wherefore' means 'where'. Juliet is asking why Romeo is. Now, look at the question in modern English:

Why are you, Romeo, if you are not Romeo? Juliet is the one who asks that, and since she supposes that Romeo is someone else, because two lovers are as one, she is putting herself into Romeo's body, and therefore she knows where she physically is. That is one of those trick Old English queries. Of course 'wherefore' means 'why', just like whence means, 'from where'.

[Wolfcounsel]

"Now back to my problem. I really love this man and I don’t want to lose him. Should I tell him about my sister?" --Riverboat

NOOOO! Tell him instead that your sister thinks she was implanted with a Moscow weather chip, and that she has a wild imagination about Russian mind control ever since the Doobie Brothers broke up. This came about from watching too many Boris and Natasha episodes on the Rocky the Flying Squirrel cartoons.

WC is FC's version of "dear Abby" and "askJeeves" all in one Pffft! I would sooner take the advice of a random name out of the phone directory as to follow any nonsense of Abby, or her sister, or their daughters or lovers or heirs or whatever.

WolfCounsel is chock full of common sense. It comes from all those years of good upbringing, Navy training, a no-nonsense wife, and a refrigerator well-stocked with beer. Everyone should be so lucky to have a neighbor like him.

[Melz]

Well then you two are lucky to be such "neighbors"..and I have no idea the idiocy of Abby, it is just an advice column name to me. We can call him "dearWC?" Still, makes him sound like a bathroom, I need to stop calling him WC.

I have no e-neighbors..I am sure you two are a riot though!!

one last question for WC:

Now that summer is winding down (in about 90 days), what to do with my rosebush? Do I just let it out there to fend on it's own? Do I uproot it and put it in a pot in warm weather?

While he's scratching his head and twisting off the cap of another Beast, let me try my hand at this game for Melz: Rose bushes should be left right where they are. If you're afraid of frost damage (where DO you live, anyway?) you should cover it with a sheet. In any case, I would never uproot a rose bush.

The graft union at the base of the rosebush, looks like a slight bulge. Pack cedar mulch around it, and cover it with bubble wrap or other foam-type material. Water every month, if the temperature is not freezing.

My genotype? All I know is what my parents used to tell me. I'm part Mexican Indian and part Spaniard ( Mestizo, I guess).

Hah, no, your genotype is your allele sequence for a particular trait, genetics. What I mean is that since brown eyes is a dominant trait, you can either be homozygous dominant, which means you have two of the dominant brown eye alleles, one from your mother and one from your father. However, you could also be heterozygous, which means you have one dominant allele, and the recessive blue eye allele. Since the brown eye trait is dominant, the blue eye allele has no affect. Now if one of your parents had blue eyes, you could only be heterozygous, because you would have the dominant allele, which gives you your brown eyes, and the recessive allele, because that is all one of your parents could contribute since one must have two recessive alleles to have blue eyes.

[Wolfcounsel]

"Hah, no, your genotype is your allele sequence for a particular trait, genetics." --Trevelyan

We studied that in Biology about 36 years ago, but I don't think we referrred to it as genotyping.

Oh, well, yeah, your genotype is the allele sequence, and your phenotype is the expression of a certain trait based on your genotype. You can have two genotypes for the phenotype of brown eyes, which would be homozygous dominant (BB) or heterozygous (Bb). There is one genotype for the phenotype of blue eyes, which is homozygous recessive (bb).

you can either be homozygous dominant, which means you have two of the dominant brown eye alleles, one from your mother and one from your father. However, you could also be heterozygous Izzat something like, "Yo mama ride shotgun on duh gahbage truck!" :question:

[DesertFox]

Wolfie, please explain Skewes' number.

[Trevelyan]

Izzat something like, "Yo mama ride shotgun on duh gahbage truck!" :question:

Hah, I have no idea what that is supposed to mean. I thought it was supposed to be the younger people who were more adept at deciphering slang or Ebonics, or whatever that is. :grin: <V:p</V:p<O:p</O:p

[DesertFox]

That kinda jabber is decades, and probably centuries, old in black precincts. It used to be called "doing the nines." The object was entertainment. Two dudes would throw minor insults back and forth to see who could elicit the biggest giggles from the audience. Most of the insults related to the other guy's mama, sometimes stretching to include his pappy. "Yo mama weah combat boots!" "Yeah, well yo mama so fat, she rent out shade space on parade day!" "But yo mama so ugly, the dictionary got her picture alongside the word 'ugly!'" "But yo mama knock kneed AND ugly!" "Oh yeah? Well yo mama so knock kneed, and yo daddy so bowlegged, that when they stand side by side they spell O-X OX!"

There was a recording of this sort of carrying on from the Thirties where they actually used the line above about O-X OX. In the Sixties came a song about "The Woman wit duh Skinny Laigs."

This is a form a black entertainment that began catching on among whites with Sanford and Son. Much of the humor is in the delivery and the ever-so-slight shading of words. Pronunciation is important -- it all gets ruined if pronounced in standard English. In "The Color Purple" you see hints of this style when Danny Glover and his daddy circle each other on the porch like a couple of banty roosters checking each other out to see if one thinks he can whup the other.

This brand of humor is quite unlike any other, sort of black hillbilly, and very much aimed at human vanity and foible. It's as comical as comedy comes when you "get it."

"Wolfie, please explain Skewes' number." --DesertFox

It's a huge number, actually two. The first number is 10 to the 10th to the 8.85 times 10th to the 33rd power. The second one is 10 to the 10th to the 10th to the 1000th power. No biggies compared to the Moser.:laugh:

[Trevelyan]

God I hate math.

Anyway, during the entire course of your schooling, what was your favorite class.? I don't mean a general subject, but rather a specific class you participated in.

[DesertFox]

Ah'm impressed. Did you know that already, or'd you google it?

According to Isaac Asimov, where I read about Skewes' number, the first one is 10 to the 10th to the 10th to the 10th, and all that to the 34th. The second one, which depends on the Riemann Hypothesis being correct, is a thousand times the first one.

Can you explain what Skewes' number pertains to?

[Wolfcounsel]

"Can you explain what Skewes' number pertains to?" --DesertFox

I googled it. It pertains to the number of particles in the Universe and more. Of course it does.:thumb:

[Trevelyan]

Could you also explain what the hell pi is exactly? All I know is that it is 3.14 something, and you can use it to find the area of a circle and it is used in an equation to find the magnitude of a magnetic field.

[DesertFox]

Um, according to Isaac Asimov, Skewes' Number has to do with the formula that predicts how many prime numbers will occur up to some limiting number. Up to Skewes' Number, that formula predicts more primes than there actually are. AFTER Skewes' Number, the formula predicts fewer primes than there actually are. There is another changeover a huge distance beyond that where the prediction is more, then another where it's less, to eternity.

This has allegedly all been demonstrated mathematically, but it's beyond my ken.

[Wolfcounsel]

"Could you also explain what the hell pi is exactly?" --Trevelyan

Draw a circle with a compass. Place three random points on the circumference. Connect the points with straight lines. Bisect perpendicularly the two lines that are formed. Where the two lines intersect inside the circle is the center. Draw a straight line across the circle connecting the center. Measure the line (diameter). Measure with a map ruler the circumference of the circle. Divide the circumference by the diameter. You will come up with a number close to 3.14 something something something.

[DesertFox]

Pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. As Wolfie says, the circumference is approximately 3 and one-seventh times the diameter.

[Geoffrey20005]

You can also mathmatically calculate the number pi by finding a perfect circle (not sure the dimensions now, ill look). The circumference of a circle is 2piR (2 time pi times the radius) If you know the circumference, and the radius, divide it by two and the radius, and the number you get will be pi. You can keep dividing this number, and it will continou past the 3.1415...

Wow, so Wolfie and DesertFox... Skewes number is for calculating what? I love things like that...

Quantam Physics intrigues me :)

It has been forever since we asked WC a question, I have missed doing so.

WC, do you think that Denver has a chance at all against SD this weekend? I hope so, I picked em to win (yes, I am a die hard fan).

Have you heard of the Columbus Crew? Know anything about pro-soccer? I am going to see them this weekend for their last game of the season. They play at the stadium that the Mexico and US soccer teams played just recently.

Just thought I would say hi :)

[Wolfcounsel]

Hi!

Okay. A little buzzard told me Denver will win by a touchdown. I don't know too much about soccer, other than I played it in high school, and I was good at it.:laugh:

Hey Wolfie do you play any online games? and if so, what are they? and what names do you play under in those games????

[Wolfcounsel]

None. My wife plays Bingo online, though. I forgot her online name.

[Melz]

Wuffi ( does that sound dorkie, it is endearing ish I should think...hehe)

How big is your family? How many cousins and aunts and uncles and such do you have? Do you see them often? I have 19 cousins and then some down the line. I see my family 3 times a month during the summer. then once a month during the holidays. And then I get a break in the snow months (finallllllyyyyyy)

[Wolfcounsel]

Melz --


I have three brothers. At least 23 cousins, maybe more now, counting second cousins. Two aunts, one uncle. I have no idea how many nieces and nephews. :question:
About the only ones I see regularly are my brothers and their children and one of my aunts. Grandchildren, we have 10. Children, four boys, one deceased.

Wuffi sounds okie-dokie. I've been called Wuwu also.:grin:

WC don't worry, I won't call you a dorkie nickname like that..LOL. I need to stop calling you WC though.

Sounds like you have as big a family as I do (I have 15 aunts/uncles), and I am glad you spend time with the ones you can ..

Didn't mean to re-bother you with this thread but you are so very "you" when you answer, I happen to like that :)

[Melz]

Um WC (yes, that is endearing now), how long can you hold your breath under water??

Erm..sorry. I already know. Really though, 4 minutes??? wowzers.

[Wolfcounsel]

Melz --


If you are in relatively good health, do hyperventilation of the body before swimming underwater. Just "huff and puff" for about 30 seconds or longer, if you have time. Then take a deep breath, let a tiny bit out to feel comfortable, and go underwater. You will be surprised how well the body utilizes the oxygen. My father-in-law in the Philippines is almost 75, and he can hold his breath for four minutes.

Approximately 2.3 cords a regular workday, but a woodchuck cannot chuck wood.:whistle:

Wolfie you can find a CD of Starsiege on ebay really cheap.

IF you do purchase a Starsiege CD, lemme know, I have the appropriate patches.

(like if you had Win2k to Winxp I have a patch that helps you be able to play the game on those operating system (as Starsiege is an old game, but its STILL being played to date.)

And dont fergit there's the upcoming Starsiege 2845 which I aim to get into and recruit and build me a Conservative Kick-Ass Squad.

My Squad mind you is HoTA (Horsemen of the Apocalypse) I inherited it from the original owners and they let me take what was left of it (which wasnt much) over.

At this time my best and most loyal player is in Iraq, you may recall his name from these forums as HOTA Boner.

But I could Always use a few good plank members for the upcoming SS2845. that way we can go forth and kick butt like no Conservative Kicked butt and possibly convert or kill our opponents

I so miss the good ole days when we had wars, raids and all-nighters battling it out in the servers loaded full up.

[Wolfcounsel]

Timberwolf --


I believe you asked TT that question. A groundhog probably likes to store its ground in a tunnel approximately six feet long and about 14 inches diameter. It stores none in its living quarters, of course. This is no foolin'.

[Wolfcounsel]

Rink --

Thanks for the information. I'll see if I can, uh, finagle a CD somehow.:grin:

[Rink]

Wolfie ya realize the CD's are SERIOUSLY cheap? like 4 or 5 dollars AT the most?

Check ebay, do a search on the name 'Starsiege"

and you will see the prices.

Ebay search for the game Starsiege (http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?cgiurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2 F&fkr=1&from=R8&satitle=starsiege&category0=)

How much gas does it take to fill up 700 Million Broncos and can you put it on a Texaco card?

With gas at $3.08 per gallon, 23-gallon tanks, you would pay $49,588,000,000, and your Texaco card might have to be titanium-platinum alloy studded with half-carat diamonds all around.

Boogers are full of nutrients and other minerals, and for some reason, little kids know this and eat them. Maybe that's why they are called snot-noses.

Cochino means pig or dirty. Marrano has the Scottish R sound.

I would be cracking up too.

I know this lady from the Philippines who was taught a different word for butt. The word she was taught was Spanish for the, uh, butt exit. I wonder if she finally learned the correct word.

[UnkHiram]

Wolf

LOL, I gotta share this story. When I was stationed in Korea I met and start going over to a Bud's house that had married a Korean woman. For about 5 years I called his Mother In Law "Oma" because I thought that meant the same thing as Frau or Senora. It was Joe's son who told me that "Oma" meant Grandma. I always wondered why this sweet little old lady laughed everytime I spoke to her.

[Wolfcounsel]

She has a good sense of humor, Unk. My wife has some Filipina friends who call me grampa. I think salt and pepper hair is rare for them, until the person is in his late 70's.

[PatrioticAmerican]

Reminds me of when I was younger, first learning French. I tried to tell a girl, "You have entered my heart."

I used the word for butt, instead. No wonder she gave me a strange look.
