Nineteen Eighty Four was a well crafted read.

I would quote a lot of the book, but it would be excessive.

Somehow I am glad none of the pictures on this thread aren't loading for me.

And now we know

Music Volume 3 was a delight. I'll see about that ol "Game stuff" later.

I hardly ever get item drops, but when I do, they are always hats.

I'm a demopan.

It's called non-refresh ghosting- When data does not change between frames, it comes back as transparent, revealing the frame behind it. When data does change, it overlaps over old data as if the frame was a stack of layers with the new data on top.

The biggest thing I've probably ever eaten was Thanksgiving Dinner two years ago.

The nature of the meal was not unusual, simply being turkey, fixings, potatoes and etc. The curiosity is that I was able to stand having three full heaping plates of it all. Stranger still, I've been almost the same weight regardless of what I eat for almost three years (180 pounds- just under 82 kg) except since I've taken on my new warehouse job; I've gained 5 pounds. Probably muscle

It'll make you view her differently.

I retract my statement.

Boo.

OH I so know this piece, it's got to be one of his Harpsichord peices... BWV 6##?

Here's an anti-troll for a few select bronies.

I'll change my User Title to "I am not an Egghead, I am Well-Read" and not change it for two months if Username aka Rainbow Dash can write me a 1000 word or more essay on why he would like me to, or why it's a good idea.

Please be informed RD, that exactly 1000 words of spam, or an image, does not constitute an essay.

From my experience, character pages are created inside the RP thread of their participation, immediately after the Opening Post or initial RP conversation.

I am curious where Gilda came from.

Mayhaps there is a land distant from Equestria where Griffons are native.

I'll Fight You for the Library

By Taylor Mali

For Dr. Joseph DeAngelo, [Mali's] Fifth and Sixth grade English Teacher, PhD, Eighth degree Black Belt Sensei (Huuwa)

I'll fight you for the library, a Poem in four letters.

1. To Clarissa Leaner, Librarian

Dear Clarissa: I understand that the research periods I reserved in the library next week have been canceled. Just out of curiosity, who and/or what is more important than my classes' research needs?

2. To Nancy Devlin, Secretary to the Principal, and Dr. Richard Blackstone, Dean of Instruction

Dear Nancy: The Librarian informs me that Dr. Blackstone has "reserved the library for a facilities utilization meeting" of the administration next week, and that all classes scheduled to meet in the library on that day, have been canceled.

This is unconscionable.

Academic instruction takes precedence over administrative meetings. Period.

That Doctor Richard Blackstone, The Dean of Instruction would even consider cancelling a single class in order to hold a meeting called "Facilities Utilization" IS SO OBTUSE, I AM INCAPABLE OF APPRECIATING THE IRONY IN IT.

3. To Dr. Richard Blackstone, Dean of Instruction

Dear Dick: With all due respect, I do not think you actually do understand my "frustration". Or else you would not have used that word because you see, I am not in fact frustrated. The correct word would be OUTRAGED!!

I will not reschedule any of my classes library periods for any administrative meeting, especially one that purports to be discussing the effective use of the school's facilities!

I do not care if the Library is the only place in the school big enough to accomodate your meeting; it is also the only place in the school WITH BOOKS. Lastly I would be the first to apologize for editorializing through your secretary if I thought that the statement "Academic instruction takes precedence over administrative meetings" were matter of opinion, and not in fact, a matter of fact. And not one I thought I would have to explain to THE DEAN OF INSTRUCTION!

To conclude:

If any one of my classes are denied the use of the school's Library next week, then please alert Dr. Joyce Santiago, the District Superintendent to be ready to accept my resignation.

4. To Dr. Joyce Santiago, District Superintendent of Education

Dear Superintendent Santiago:

For 40 years I have served the interests of my students, providing them with encouragement, guidance, resources, respect and love they require to grow into productive, responsible, informed and well prepared members of the community. I do not take this responsibility lightly, I take it with all the nobility, grace and gravitas of the teaching profession. So on behalf of my students and their parents, I thank you for finding another place for Dr. Blackstone to hold his meeting.

The F-18 Hornet is a realizable dream, it comes in two-seater variants. However it is soon (read, between 2016 and 2025) largely planned on becoming obsolete in favor of the new F-35 Lightning II.

The SR-71 Blackbird, while pretty badass and very fast, is much less likely. Only 20 still are in existence, none of them are in current service and I don't know if many if any of them are even operational. Planes that come close to it in terms of top speed and service ceiling would be the Russian Mig-31 (three are owned by a private company in Moscow which do Supersonic tours. It's operational Max Airspeed is Mach 2.4. Far less than the Blackbird's 3.1, but it's closer than nothing) or the American F-14 Tomcat (2.3M) or F-15E (~2.5M, The F-15 is a single seat fighter, but the E variant is modified and has a co-pilot seat).

None of them look as cool as the Blackbird though.

"Now the chorus comes in, but no one knows why except Mozart and he's dead."

I am glad there are users on this forum who know the distinction between needs and wants.

There are a few songs I can think of that are mournful enough to commemorate this moment.

This is the grandest, and most worthy of one of our dearly departed great debaters.

I as well.

Also, I was kidding, don't actually remove pootis.

This picture from the Iron Giant is too fun not to use, so I'm going to be using it more in the future.

I'm sure you could get away with stealth puns about people being Eggheads in public.

It's contextual.

If someone asks you that from the local area, he probably means street or city.

If someone asks you that from within a broader region or another country, they're probably asking where in the world you're from, eg: country and details if necessary.

Just as long as you aren't able to have an argument with yourself and lose.

Glad to see I'm not alone.

When I have a sore arm going to work in the morning, it's usually because I was listening to this

And acting accordingly.
