Randomness thread, part two.

[Luco]

This challenge made me think of that Dutch professional darts player, Joey Ten Berge (pronounced burger)

[DoubleJ]

list a meal that you have eaten that has roughly 4,000 calories and over 200 grams of protein

shan't

[JL]

BC Moran
204A St, Langley, V1M1G9
(604) 888-52648870

I live 10 minutes from this address. This is definitely random.

Did you look up Moran in the phonebook or something?

[wufwugy]

I think it mostly has to do with metabolism, stuff you can't see. My brother eats a LOT, he'll often eat more after coming home after having gone out to eat because it just isn't enough. And he isn't fat. But most striking is my sister's bf. Granted he's tall, but he's also slim as all hell, but he eats for 3 people easily. It's always a sight to behold. The only thing I can personally eat a disproportionally lot of is spaghetti or pasta in general. And the cooking of my fiancée, her mother, and a friend of mine's gf also makes me eat more than normal.

I would bet everything I own that these people go for long stretches without eating that much

Back when I used to do cyclic dieting/carb loads, I would sometimes eat a box of pasta (1lb dry, several lb cooked) along with sauce and maybe a small amount of extra protein (e.g. meat sauce or protein shake) and a piece of fruit or something in one sitting. It makes me cringe now, partly due to the weirdness of it all but mostly with what is becoming known about wheat and inflammation etc, even among people who don't have coeliac disease.

aye - after a spoonitnow semi-rant.

had to check urbandictionary.com first re: the spelling, then decided to see if there atcherly was a BC Moran listed anywhere on google.

as if by magic, the shopkeeper appeared.

Either way, I hope everything goes TR worthy.

[22:16:51] <@d0zs> booooo murderers! GO REDTEAM!

[Jack Sawyer]

Ed Reed massively offside during two point conversion, no call. Michael Crabtree held up all the way into the end zone on fourth and short, no call. Refs fucked this one up imo

[Jack Sawyer]

Where the fuck is Ed Hochuli

[Pascal]

no way can you call that Crabtree hold, he had his hands on the D too. Might well be because he was being held but when there's hands both ways and it's a decision basically for the Superbowl you've gotta be 100%

[bikes]

Joe Flaccbert, most undeserving qb to win the sb since before i can remember

[supa]

... and that was 100% holding.

[Lukie]

I apologize to 49ers nation for rooting for your team. It's almost like the sports gods are just fucking with Cleveland fans. It's not enough to have heartbreaking losses for our teams followed by long stretches of futility, you have to go and let all of our rivals like Steelers, Heat, Ravens win 'ships along the way.

hyachahcachch

[Lukie]

... and that was 100% holding.

yeah, that was definitely holding. i understand refs don't want to throw the flag to change a super bowl, but not throwing a flag when you should is just the same really. for the most part i like when refs 'let them play', meaning generally LESS flags and less fouls across football and basketball pretty much all the time, but consistency is more important IMO.

[boost]

Meh, the refs handed 3 points to SF with that bullshit running at the kicker call. The guy was in the midst of a mid air dive to make the tackle, all before the ball was kicked... he doesn't have air brakes, he can't stop, and even at that, he barely hit the guy.

kind of like when a receiver is in the process of making a catch, defender is coming in to make a shoulder to shoulder hit, and the receiver ducks directly into a head on collision. the NFL views that as a helmet to helmet hit by the defensive player and is flagged and fined appropriately. it's stupid.

that's just a long way of saying that rules aren't always logical. in the situation you described that IS a flag. the only question is whether it's running into the kicker and 5 yard penalty or roughing the kicker with 15 yards and automatic first down. i think they got it right.

[boost]

Fair enough, I'm a football noob.

Either way, a victory in memory of Prop Joe makes me happy.

[DropTheBanana]

Since somebody took the time to change it, I'm going to leave it.

But for the record, I don't like balls.

[bikes]

thanks obama for my wicked good health insurance but holy fuck i hate these new glasses

[Lukie]

while searching for something else, I came across the old 'how many 5 year olds could you take', and I think I lowballed that number. (in fairness, I was answering what the average guy on the internet could do and there were certain assumptions, such as the 5 year olds being selected from a pool by someone who wants to see you fail, given brief training, and would be unrealistically motivated but 25 is still too low of a number.)

It's interesting what you can dig up on the forum sometimes...

[MadMojoMonkey]

take?... Like as in, these 5-year olds are trying to kill you... how many can you defeat to save yourself?...

As someone who taught a class of 20 pre-schoolers, I can assure you that the number is infinite barring some extraordinary circumstances (like infinite 5 year olds). I got size, brains, patience, and manual dexterity on my side. I'll guerrilla warfare those drunken midgets monkey-style.

Dude haven't you seen Return of the Jedi? Even in an AT-ST a few determined midgets with rocks can take you down.

There were certain assumptions being made. As I remember, the kids could be as old as 5 years, 364 days. Someone is picking the perceived top 50% of kids from a group twice as big as the selected number. They're also given training from someone who wants to see you die and they are motivated to the point that they fight and claw and bite to the death despite the bloodshed. I think there were a couple more, like you're in an enclosed area and you cannot touch any walls, no weapons of any sort, that kind of stuff. Oh and you get a cup.

It sounds ridiculous but a swarm of little kids kicking and head ramming and biting and clawing you would be harder to handle than most realize. It's just such a bizarre and unrealistic scenario. I'm don't think the average adult male could take down 100, let alone thousands for example.

[Lukie]

actually to be completely honest, I have no real experience with teaching or being around groups of kids that age. Maybe my response says more about the average weak/fat/untrained person in society but that I'm still overestimating the little shits.

[Lukie]

original thread: http://archives1.twoplustwo.com/show...Number=1556673

however after googling, it's amazing how many times this has come up on the interwebz lol

[boost]

I don't like the assumption that they will fight to the death, without pause, to secure their collective victory. This really changes the dynamic in such an extreme way that the base question, "how many five year olds could you fight to the death?" is changed so drastically that it may as well read "how many three legged cheetahs could you tickle, without getting bit?"

To make the question best, we need them to not run away screaming at the first sight of gore, but they can't be super-zombies either.

[kiwiMark]

meth 'em up.

[Jack Sawyer]

Bath salts?

[Lukie]

i'm torn... it almost seems like kids that age need the full scope of their mental ability to coordinate their attack or whatever it is you want to call it, which brings up how ridiculous this whole proposition is.

[rong]

How about how many full grown poodles. You are armed with a sledge hammer.

[boost]

How about how many full grown poodles. You are armed with a sledge hammer.

I'm skinny as fuck, can I think I have an advantage being armed with two (or even one) regular claw or ball peen size hammers. Possibly on the very low end, like 2 or 3 and less dogs I would have an advantage with the sledge, almost certainly vs one, since I just have to time my swing with it's initial charge, but anything above that I certainly am better off with regular hammers.

That being said, the idea of a guy with enough strength to properly wield a sledge hammer as a weapon, going up against large amounts of poodles gives me a hilarious mental image. Fyi, he's wearing denim overalls.

[rong]

It's gotta be a sledge hammer, too easy with a couple of claw hammers. The sledge hammer means you have to utilise other parts of your body beyond the hammer. That poodle question started as wild boars and a hammer, but I figured reducing the tool's usefulness and beast's power was better.

[eugmac]

Don't underestimate poodles. A study found them to be the only breed of dog that can reintegrate into packs of wolves.

[Chelle]

So, yesterday my therapist commented on how much weight I've been losing.

I finished my naked fairy bitch on'a mushroom with a cat like "hay s'up, bitch?". Here it is.





Now I'm working on a different one. I'm far from being done with it, and honestly, I have a few things I still want to do on the naked fairy bitch one. Anyway, here's the second one, it's hopefully going to end up looking more like a beach, once I'm "finished".

[boost]

Am I a bad person for secretly hoping that Chelle (and the other hers) don't really exist but are really just spoon's other hims?

[Chelle]

...

well, kinda', cause I'm p sure I'm an actual person and not a personality in spoons psyche, and exist.

btw, update on the whole "other chelles" thing, i'm getting better, a lot better. Hopefully by this coming fall/winter I'll be stable enough to get my drivers licenses back/go to college/have a part time job. Fingers crossed, toes crossed, arms crossed, basically everything crossed that this happens.

[BennyLaRue]

I totally wrote a film treatment along these lines (think part Hard Candy, part Fight Club, part Jurassic Park, part Before Sunrise).

Manti Te'o says there is nothing wrong with secretly hoping that. It's perfectly normal.

[bigspenda73]

Am I an awful human being for not wanting to drive someone (a good friend) to the airport at 8 AM on a Tuesday morning?

Here is the pertinent info

1. He makes plenty of money, paying for parking shouldn't be an issue, even told me he has a parking discount that would cost him $30 for the 5 days. Drive for me is like 50 miles roundtrip so we're talking ~$10 in gas out of my pocket. Again, not a monetary issue but it's mildly annoying that there's basically no repayment for a favor like this.
2. He knows I typically don't wake up until 11 AM plus I'm on meds that give me insomnia, he knows I don't crash til like 4 AM.
3. It's rush hour in a city of 2M people on a highway that's currently under construction.

I almost feel like he's the bad person for even asking. Seems very selfish but I'm an independent person who hates people so perhaps I'm out of line here. I never have asked him to take me to the airport so it's not like there's some trade-off here. I always drive and park myself b/c who wants to pick someone up from the airport they're not fucking? My thought is we're adults now, this whole ride to the airport thing should be over once you're out of college.

And a final note for GMML, it's fucking cold at 8AM, fuck going outside when it's under 60 degrees.

It's a tough spot because you're right, but if he asks you to do it, you kinda have to (because you consider him a good friend). I haven't yet figured out how to do more than just hope that the friends I make are introspective and analytical enough to not ask me to go out of my way when they shouldn't

On the other hand, Americans are a bunch of selfish fucking pussy primadonnas. Myself included. It would probably give us more character if we made it a point to do things for others that inconvenience us. I think this idea is something our culture has largely lost, and doing so has been harmful

[Savy]

If I asked my mate to do that for me I'd be pretty pissed off if they didn't, although I don't have any friends I'd ask who are on pills that give them trouble sleeping so I probably wouldn't ask you if other people were available.

I'd do the same for any of my mates though and if someone did that for me I'd get them something nice in return, at the least give them the petrol money.
