LONG LIVE THE MEGA-POST!
You should be able to view it again, but Masako had to shut off the comments at…
3821.
She had to delete one spam comment to get it viewable again (link).
Please, let’s hear a big round of applause for all of you who posted in the Mega-Post and kept it alive for a year and four months. Please use this comment thread to post your fondest memories of the post with the most…
the Mega-Post.
Cell reception in my area is so bad I don’t even own a cell phone 😉
Are monks, nuns and prisoners allowed cell phones?
If not, why do they call them cell phones?
Prisoners: No
Monks and nuns: Not sure. Might break their vow of silence. Which on public transit, would be a welcome break from the inane chattering of idiots. Like if someone was reading these comments aloud. Which, come to think of it, might be quite humorous, if not downright confusing at times.
They call them cell phones because having one is like being in prison. Your captors (family, friends, work, etc) can demand your attention at any time and in any place.
But, Del, you can ignore calls or turn the thing off.
I just wish cell phone jamming equipment were legal here. I’d carry one with me on the bus to work and at the movies.
You are lucky then. For some reason some significant others (male or female) get completely over the top crazy when they can’t reach someone by cell. I hear it through the thin office walls all the time 😉
I agree on cell jamming. If the put cell jamming equipment in movie theaters I might actually go.
Del,
What about genetically engineered critters? A howler monkey/dog cross would be very helpful as I have noticed dogs don’t bark if you give them a bone.
I am most envious of your movie theatres. We have theatres with moving stages but not theatres that move, with the exception of a one man theatre based on a motorcycle and sidecar and a group that travel and play on a river boat.
Usage report:
I probably get or make five or six calls per week on my iPhone. I never text or chat or tweet. I do use it for email, however.
I watch on average about eight or nine hours of television per week, and most of that consists of reruns of Star Trek: The next Generation, which I didn’t see when it first aired.
I use my Mac too much, and for too many things.
Without electricity I would survive but be very bored. Is anybody working on a wood-fired computer? Because I might need a backup when civilzation collapses.
What do you mean, when?
Any more the only thing I watch regularly on the boob tube is wipeout. Other than that I sometimes watch something streaming via Netflix.
Why do you need an steam fired computer? Why not use on of the electric eel experiments to keep things charged.
The electric eels keep dying on me, probably because of their diet. What should I be feeding them?
Ace,
Stop attempting to recharge them.
Damned non-recyclable, non-rechargeable electric eels!
Feed ’em currents, Ace.
Hey, I’m not Anonymous.
I’m me.
Oh . . . ooopsy. Forgot to log on after getting iMac back with a fixed hard drive.
What a berk.
Maybe I should have stayed anonymous?
Yay, CARS is back! And I’m the only one that knows or cares!
Everyone: thank you for your advice. I find all this modern electrical technology quite shocking.
Bugger didn’t even tweet it, so we’d know.
It certainly hertz my brain just thinking about it, Ace.
Huzzah!
I believed Apple had invented the iEraser.
(Was going to call it iRubber, then realised how you lot would react.)
4601st!
The comment count keeps climbing, and the quality of comments keeps sliding down. I’m glad to be a part of this Important Work.
Should we have this thread printed in book form as an aid to defeating insomnia?
Nxxx,
Would the Brains pay us royalties?
YaY for the return of CARS!!
Del,
Did you believe that your mad scientist career was over?
Now think what you could make with a Moltz.
I felt a great disturbance in the Force…
Hmm… Maybe I could use the Moltz to make the eels rechargeable.
Or maybe recharge Moltz with some eels — then he might have the energy to rustle up some crazy Apple rumors.
Gosh Mr. Ace, you are not suggesting that Mr. Moltz should sit on the Lazy Stool, are you?
Curious question: what kind of amperage do you get from the eels?
I imagine Del’s re-engineered eels perform better than regular eels.
I put the rechargeable eels in Moltz’s pants. Let’s see if he notices!
So it is Del who is flooding my spam box with Great Viagra Replacement emails.
What kind of ‘recharge’ time do you think Moltz’s ‘electric eel’ would need?
Also, Nxxx, I’m sitting here unable to hobble with a straight leg from a full ACL reconstruction (silly boys games, alas). Could you be a mate and pop up from Wales to pass me the remote, cheers….?
In other news, could Apple finally be working on the Cyberdyne Systems T1000? To mate with its Sexbots?
http://www.macrumors.com/2010/08/09/apple-acquires-rights-to-liquidmetal-technologies-advanced-metal-alloys/
In other other news, I just read the posts for that article and I appear, ironically, to be about the 1000th person to think of the Cyberdyne gag.
Man I’ve got to be quicker off the mark. I blame my leg. Or rather, Nxxx.
BroMu,
Best for a speedy recovery. Hope you don’t have many stairs.
How many other sites talk about sexbots as frequently as this one? If there are any, let me know, as I should probably also be reading there…
Cheers, Steve. It would probably help it I didn’t keep dropping [ketchup bottles/keyboards/children/subtlehintsaboutmyneedforchocolate] on the knee. Had the bandages removed this morning and it looked like my kneecap had a rather classy zip installed (staples). Fantastic! God I love being a cyborg. Perhaps it will make me more attractive to the sexbots. Or, indeed, someone. Anyone.
When you’re able to move your leg, will it make that ch-ch-ch noise like the Six Million Dollar Man?
Actually, it was making a ch-ch-ch noise before, so I’m hoping that’s fixed.
Moreover, I’m not sure even my disastrous fashion sense could take Steve Austin’s red tracksuit. Or his flares.
The Six Million Dollar Man? Never saw it. I swore off of watching prostitute-centric entertainment after Pretty Woman.
Maybe sexbotstitutes would make the genre relevant again.
As long as Julia Roberts isn’t involved, that’s OK with me.
I swore off watching prostitute-centric entertainment after the ‘Developers! Developers! Developers!’ the Movie.
Hmm maybe we could recharge the sexbotstitutes with the eels? Who wants to test one out?
I can’t afford the sexbotstitutes unless someone is planning to subsidize the study. I’m sure they charge less than six million.
Attracted as I am by your electrifying offer Del, at my age, the tests would not be sufficiently representative of the overall population.
me gustaria ser de la barra de los mega locos puedo
If the last word was misspelt and should be “pseudo”, then I think I agree.
I’m not fluent in Spammish.
How are you at Python, Ace?
Ni!
Go away, you silly English k-nights, or I shall be forced to taunt you a second time!
