The Anything Thread

[Duckster]

I keep bacon grease in a pickle jar, therefore pickles are our friends.

[Gruder]

Ah, but what kind of pickles? I'm a big fan of spicy dills, myself. Of course, all of the jarred stuff pales in comparison to fresh deli pickles, but I've no quick pipeline for those.

[sol92258]

Yup! Perhaps "I like pickles" is the sound of one hand clapping...
maybe it's one clap handing

Spicy dills, absotively! The crunchier the better.

2 points:

1) primary concern is with the O line, but it should come around nicely

2) the defense: word is this year's starters are every bit as good as last year's, and the backup is even better, they just lack the experience of the starters

woo-hoo!

Better still, your early season games are going to be cakewalks for the most part, with the possible exception of week one vs. Va Tech (and yeah, I'm including the Cats...) -- ideal for giving that O line some confidence, I'd think. You should have a fun season!

"I like pickles" was always my thing I'd post on forums to either spam, increase post count, cause headscratches (often in response to "what kind of....?" questions), or quell flamewars by dousing them with absurdity. It is a statement that although true really doesn't mean anything.

I think the biggest problem with Vista is that Microsoft is not only competing with Linux, but with itself. Really, even if people tell me 7 is the most amazing OS out there, I'm still going to stick with XP because it runs well on my hardware, it's what I'm used to, and I don't feel like burning the extra money*. That mentality (in my experience) extends to most of the XP crowd. The only thing 7 has going for it is that people think Vista sucks in ways I can't describe without getting banned, so at least it's not Vista. I can't tell you how many "at least it's not Vista" jokes I've heard.

I'm the only one in my family not running it, and that's the way I like it. :biggrin:

*I build my systems so I have to buy Windows if I plan on running it.

I've bought two cars in the past 12 months (one for me, one for my son), and I am about to buy a third (for my wife). I already own my house (outright) and don't need another.

How 'bout you?

That's awesome. I currently reside at the other end of the spectrum. I was just kidding BTW in my previous post. I am in the downsizing mode. Sold my house, got rid of a lot of stuff, which of course, someone else bought. As soon as I sell my commercial office building, I will look into building a new summer home to replace the mobile home that sits there now.

Understood. Trust me, it's necessity, not altruism. I'm also paying college tuition.

That's why I now buy shaving stuff instead of stereo equipment for myself!!

I'm not so worried about absolute standardization of the shaves -- your face is different some days, or I oversleep, or whatever, so I can't control all the variables.

yeah, I'd think it'd be good to use a fair-to-middlin' setup, that way the equipment doesn't take up the slack of a lack-luster lather....makes sense to me anyway, but I have been wrong before...

[blackfoot]

Seems to me you would want to check several variables. I suppose, if you use different setups, you would need multiple controls as well. Perhaps you could use your favorite setup until you get the correct formula, then experiment with different setups for final comparison.

Sociology, if there's more of a psuedo-science than sociology then I don't know what it is.

We're just clever enough to call it a science and have found a way to get others to take on most of the research.:biggrin:

A proper sociological study involves sending out a psychologist to study behavior and a physical anthropologist to study surroundings while the sociologist watches interactions between various social positions(castes, jobs, monarchy, and the like). Then the sociologist combines the data, makes a few well informed assumptions and publishes the research with his name at the top in big letters and the others' beneath in about an 8 point font.:wink:
