A fly in my what?

[shorthair]

There could possibly be a board for other things not quite in these categories...then again this is educational in a similar manner:

When I went to the men's room in the Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, I saw the fly and didn't think much about it. Now I know why it was there.





Who says you can't potty train a man?

[tommy]

Who are you? 

[ChadTower]

I dunno, but apparently he doesn't open his fly when he pees.

[tommy]

One could say this thread is somewhere out of left field.... i say the ball rolled into the dugout and is lost somewhere. 

[ChadTower]

Maybe the fly is a Democrat?

[(+_+)]

I should etch a fly in each of our toilet bowls at home. My 2 sons have miserable aim. They must get it from their Mom's side of the family.

[patrickl]

I remember them having distracting cow pictures all over the place too. People might get the urge to pee on the cow?

[jbox]

From Berlin (don't ask me why it's in English - maybe it's all those bloody tourists?)

[shorthair]

I'm me. Physically male, with some feminine emotional components and sensitivities. (No, this doesn't mean I'm sexually interested in dudes; and the latter means that I'm observant of  people's psychological profile and interested in cooperation instead of competition, but not emotionally tied to another's behaviour nor naturally empathetic.)

Yeah, I got the idea it was a touristy place.  It seems to me people in general don't have the presence of mind in their environment that one might get from military or kung fu experience, and I'm all about order, so I think ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- like this is funny. Not that I reserve this for males, only, mind.

[shmokes]

Well, the appropriate forum for this is probably Everything Else, since it's not arcade related (though, it's kind of like a video game), and it's got nothing to do with Politics/Religion.  You'd probably have got a much better response there, too, since so many of those pansy-assed nancy boys are afraid to come in here.   

[shorthair]

The responses were as they were. I have no complaint. And I explained the relevance, above.

[Dartful Dodger]

These are just the poor man's On Target.

I think On Target has been posted before, so this topic wont be missed(ba-dump bump) in the EE forum.

[shmokes]

Jesus, you sound like such a fop.  The sad thing is it's deliberate.  I don't mean that the responses would have a better quality.  I mean that you would have had a greater, or larger reponse.  I understand that you may be European, so you might bot be familiar with certain American idioms, but harping all the time on all your Yoda/Mr. Miagi ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- is seriously obnoxious.  You don't pull it off.  You just sound ridiculous.

Ah, yes, but the fish is in the soup.

What a great character that'd be: half-yoda, half-miagi. It's like a centaur for the new ages!

I think it means he's a ---smurf---.

EDIT:  autocensor.  Damn.  Maybe it means he's a ---auto-censored---.

EDIT2:  autocensor wins again.  Maybe it means he's ---Smurfette---.

Your frame of reverence isn't universal. You might think on that for spell. You also, one day, may start asking questions instead of making assumptions....

[BobA]

This is the same as the targets that can be placed in a toilet to improve the aim of those using it.  Used to have bullseyes and battleships but now they seem to have other odd shapes.

The fly is really etched in though.

Why would he know why people don't like you?   

[FrizzleFried]

Questions like "Why don't the MAMEDevs use WORD WRAP in their .ini files?"   

[FrizzleFried]

Why don't people like me?

You beat me to it!.... Damn you!

 

[ChadTower]

Questions like "Why don't the MAMEDevs use WORD WRAP in their .ini files?"

UNIX/Linux text file format.  Not DOS.  You can convert them easily in a text editor.  The difference is that DOS text files end each line with a Ctrl-M char that *NIX doesn't like.

Chad: You evidently missed the Shorthair "Why not write the .ini files in Word so it would word wrap" post...

apparently a ping pong ball does wonders, and it wont flush down...

[ChadTower]

I see now.  I was outside of your inside joke.

I remember as a kid i'd find a cigarette butt in the toilet from time to time...my parents smoked (explains a lot!).  Anyway,  the cigarette butt is great as with a good aim and some controlled pressure,  you can obliterate the thing simulating a ship being blown to hell...

That isn't what I spent my time in the bathroom doing.

Why would he know why people don't like you?   

He assumes I treat others the way I treat him.

[ChadTower]

Ah.  That's no treat.

[patrickl]

Well we like you because of how you treat him

[shmokes]

Would that be coming from a universal frame of reference, or something more limited in scope?

[shorthair]

Here's a question you might ask yourself:  Why don't people like me?

Some people do like me.  I know why you don't.  I don't care if anyone does.

FF/patrickL: perhaps in the coming decades, when your corporate, as well as working-class, capitalistic america disappears, you may look back on these interchanges. Notice, though, that your initial impulse is to attack and ridicule. It doesn't hurt me, though surely keeps you in a stupor. And, at least subconsciously, cos at an energistic level it knows, you burn bitterly at your state of being.

[shmokes]

  (emphasis mine)

Uh oh . . . something tells me that shorthair might be suffering, once again, from a condition commonly known as "full of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---."


Why, by the way, do you suppose I don't like you, shorthair?  I mean, I know.  It's because you are pretentious and talk down to everyone, and you don't strike me as half as smart as you think you are.  It's because you deliberately speak in language that is designed to alienate others and make them feel inferior to you (though, frankly, you aren't especially good at it). 

But something tells me that's not precisely how you would articulate it.  I'm interested in your take on the matter.  Why do I dislike you?

It seems that tranq's little brother has dropped in for a visit ... bring out the smelly females !

I was thinking Jimmybored but I knew that wasn't it....  Good catch.  Maybe we need a central database of all users who have left us.

You seem to try to ridicule us with your phony act. Why on earth would I look back on this nonsense and what does america have to do with it, or me for that matter?

The last time I heard talk like this was when I was in Amsterdam. Maybe you ventured out of Schiphol airport long enough to find yourself some smokables to lift your cosmic energy to a new plane of existence and enclosed the BS-iness in your karma when you transcended back to our humble worldly existence? Cool dude, peace.

[shorthair]

Possibly only cos Drew's been away it's been cheffo (as in checko) who's finally figured it out. I allowed this, of course.

[patrickl]

Dude, I think everyone knew

[CheffoJeffo]

It IS tranq after all ... how long is it going to take you to flame out this time ?

Au contraire....ah noo sae twas who aet was. You said his brother - I said an evolution. Descended, though different. I don't even think of defending anything, nor communicating anything.  I just say things. Subtleties, my boy. Bach would do just as well, but I'll give you something modern - say, Elliot Carter...go listen to some of him and come back to me.

Of course to do so would mean he wins....which is what he was orchestrating this entire time.  Rock, hard place, meet Saint

[horseboy]

Shorthair is right guys. The centrality of the American existence could be summed up with one or two of the most idiological methodologies allowed by the proctologists. Read some Aristotle and get back to me.

[More Cowbell]

This guy (tranqhair) seems to have some C64 in him as well. Random responses that sound like a computer trying to make sense of what was just said.

[MikeQ]

 The critical statements that shorthair states captures the resources and in view of the fact that revolutionary protocols can hardly help but to establish an action item for input we clearly can conclude that systems rationalize the sources. The prospective ideas portrayed by shorthair close the loop on the issue of the forward looking guesstimates, however excellence is the win-win information infrastructure. Progress facilitates scalable skill sets. Can we indeed say that applying these standards to shorthair help us in the concepting of his ideas?

You oughta know, after all ...

Don't worry shorthair... i think you're a fantastic human being.

Exactly my point. Pure gibberish.
