Humor will not be tolerated!! -Portia

I defended my dissertation which was a total gong show I just wanted to mention: I spent a summer living with Canadians, and started collecting "Canadianisms" (that is, funny phrases Canadians use, or ways of putting things that I understood but would never phrase that way). "Gong sh...

Psssst...

There's a "d-word" or two, if you're incredibly sensitive, but this sketch from amazingly funny blokes Mitchell and Webb should entertain you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMGIbOGu8q0 Also, this one. Just because it's hilarious. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKTsWjbjQ8E&feature=rela...

That one's pretty easy when you realize that R is the 18th letter of the alphabet...

Hypie, I will drive your stuff up in a rental truck for a fee that is less than you would pay for shipping or a professional mover (whatever that ends up being). I would tow your car behind the truck, if you'd trust me with it (we drive almost the same car! Both manuals, even! You can trust me!). An...

Thanks for the explanation, I appreciate it. One of the nice things (probably the only nice thing) about a problem so complex is that it can be approached so many different ways. Heck, I knew most of the things I typed up off of the top of my head anyway (though I tried to cite sources), but putting...

Oh, hey! Thanks for the nice words, even if they were said a week+ ago. I put a lot of time into that answer, and I'm glad people at least pretended to read it. I think the concepts are pretty easy but that too many people just never bother to look into the question. Vorpal, I'm interested in hearin...

Context is important. Those who know me know that I do not swear. I avoid being around it more than most people, too (see my conversation with Katya above). But even I feel like it's silly to get up in arms over a synonym for "idiot" just because it can also be used in a vulgar sense (but...

Yes, it did get changed. I knew it would once I drew attention to it, I just wondered how long it would take. But it was there.

I had no idea what you were referring to, Foreman, even looking for it, until I saw wired's post. For what it's worth, that word also has a non-vulgar meaning (which, I should point out, is the meaning habiba used). Saying her post is the Most Offensive Thing is like people complaining that the Bib...

Man, I love when stuff I do sparks a big discussion (especially when it's one where people aren't acting like idiots!). Anyway, I find it interesting when a word is so taboo that it's hard to even find out about it. I didn't know "the c-word" forever, and it still carries very little impac...

I don't think assertions that there's plenty for women to do outside of the Priesthood are correct, because I agree with Katya's statement that it's like limiting the majors women can pursue but saying that a woman shouldn't worry about not being able to major in math because there are 100 other ma...

Oh man, when she says it in MSA it is so much more awesome than when she says it in Egyptian. Hua Dhabit kabeeeeeeeeeeeer... f'il jeesh (fetching look at the camera)! Oh, of course. Totally goofy look, man. Here's a link for your enjoyment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2eXxqXjuzc&t=0m27s Whe...

Pretty random, but still my favorite Maha moment (as far as I got in my classes, at least).

HEY, remember how everyone was going to friggin' stop at 20 so we don't literally die? Please recall that we already got our normal complement of questions today, plus this 24...

LJ, just be glad that I am personally against having extra accounts or I would send in a bajillion questions myself. You should be glad that you're against having extra accounts yourself. We recently deleted a bunch of questions and accounts from a wisecheese who thought he could exceed the questio...

It seems like very few people are good at both. I'm pretty good at both. Pics or it didn't happen. Holy crap! I never saw this...if I knew I'd been called out, I would have done something about it. Well, poor photo quality and lighting aside, here are a few pictures. My hat: hat.jpg A scarf (no pic...

BYU Weekly did a segment on the Board! If you go here, you can see interviews with a couple of your favorite writters [sic]!

It's currently at 200 views...but with your help, I'm sure it can hit 210.

Snowclones FTW!

I don't really have much else to contribute here. I just like knowing the words for strange concepts.

You're very welcome. I worried that with such a specialized question, the answer wouldn't be much good to anyone but the asker, so it's good to hear that it was helpful. Now you can talk to your family about...numbers and colors! I'm just glad the question came in now; before this semester, I would ...
