The Anything Thread

[gollum83]

This is worrisome, indeed. I had considered the vice-czar (not to mention mod thirdeye) a fixture around here, and both are virtually non-existent of late (Ray is around, but not nearly to the extent he used to be). The whole feel of the forum is diffrerent without those two popping up everywhere I look!

Well without Limecat what's his parole officer to do? It's worrisome though. How sick was he anyway when you met in Vegas, Rich? :sad:

Mrs. Chip told me he is just really wrapped up in a project. However, if she offed him, she wouldn't be the best source of info. :lol:

Must be one heck of a project. That or Limecat literally got himself wrapped up in something. You know how those cats love to play with wrapping paper and such. :lol:

You ever see a cat get the handle of a plastic bag around its head. It is hilarious!

[blackfoot]

So have we figured out why you are in possession of seven bags of sunflower seeds, two of which are apparently open, yet?



Nah, everyone knows Flight 19 is stuck in the Bermuda Triangle and not Blake's closet. :tongue:

I don't know, I have a lot of tropical shirts. :w00t:

You let a cat get its head caught in a plastic bag? :shocked:

[blackfoot]

You let a cat get its head caught in a plastic bag? :shocked:

My cat will start to play with one and when his head goes through the handle, he starts to run around. He is running from the noisy bag that is chasing him. Usually he stops and starts backing up.

That was a blast. My wife can't believe I took off and met with "internet friends", but hey....I'm still here - I think?

Doug, I forgot to tell you just now, you had a great idea for the stick, and I added to it....don't know how I forgot - oh yeah, that's right, you're wife's cries of glory for getting on facebook again...:biggrin:

I didn't comment on the "internet friends" comment yesterday, but my wife is worse than that. She is embarrassed by these meet ups in some sense, but she's actually met Whitebar and really likes him. So after we take Mr & Mrs Soapbox out for sushi, maybe she'll be singing a different tune:thumbup1:

Not sure if the Mrs. killed him or not... but he has promised contact and must be really busy or dead


The Czar is in da hizzie.

Art's kingship is acknowledged universally and the Czar makes no infringing claims. To state that repeatedly in Our Pronouncements would be redundant and unnecessary.

I just had my first experience with Green Mountain... excellent stuff. I think it was the slickest soap I've tried... seriously. It wasn't perfect, but I'd put it on my 'to-buy-a-puck' list for sure.

[sol92258]

about to go lose my Dr. Harris-inity....I'm very much looking forward to this much revered soap :001_smile

What was it again, king of the stooges, king of the hairballs...?

[soapbox]

Of course. Nothing but the best. I even treated him to the best guacamole Texarkana has to offer:biggrin:

Yes you did! That stuff was great. My wife loves guac, so I can see taking her to try it out (maybe not in Texarkana, but still).


Yes, a good time was had by all. I didn't know what to expect but I was well pleased that the nice fellows that I 'knew' here on B&B were just as friendly and entertaining in person.

Likewise! Your online personalities are a true reflection of your selves. I guess I wasn't sure what to expect but the guys talking were clearly the guys I knew.


That was a blast. My wife can't believe I took off and met with "internet friends", but hey....I'm still here - I think?

Yeah, it puzzles Mrs. Soapbox a bit too, but she had a blast meeting Burnwood and Mrs. Burnwood last Christmas, so she might be more relaxed about the whole thing.

[soapbox]

Well, the two U-hauls are returned, we've met the neighbors, and I have Internet access at home (last night was at the Hampton Inn). The upstairs AC flaked out today, prompting much cursing; it rallied, but remains marginal for 100-degree heat. Ahhhh, I'm a homeowner now...

[soapbox]

I think that sounds good for a secret handshake. Would you recognize if a woman did it though? :001_smile

I think we'd recognize it especially if a woman did it!

yeah, I was thinking that exact thing at lunch...how odd is it for a group people to get together for the first time ever, and know as much about each other as we did, and just jump right into conversation, as opposed to intros, "what do you like", etc.

Think of it this way: do you want to get totally out of prison, or not? If you do, you'd best be very careful (the Czar's words, at least paraphrased)

At the end of the book You Only Live twice, James Bond was left with amnesia. He knew he had some kind of connection and goes there to find out who he was. The next book was The Man With the Golden Gun. As it opens, you discover Bond had been brain-washed by the KGB and he attempts to assassinate M. Perhaps Chip is alive, but not himself.

The good news is they rehabilitated 007. So, there is hope.

[profsaffel]

From what I've seen, no one that 'tries' to get a custom title, gets one. Therefore, you aren't really trying, but you are leading some to believe you are, when in fact you WANT them to believe that you are not really trying, thereby, in actuality, trying to get one because you appear to not be getting one even though you are saying that you are trying but not really trying and therefore trying...

If one were to keep Massengill products inside a handy carrying tote though...what would you call that then? You wouldn't say "this? Oh, this is my feminine hygeine product carrying satchel..." or "I carry these internal watering devices inside this sack whose purpose is to ease the conveyance of them whilst in transit...". No, you'd have a simpler, probably one or two word descriptor for them, wouldn't you?

I thought blakebag was the preferred term for this. Is that wrong?:confused:

Quick recap of today.

Three trips to Home Depot.
Much of the day spent repairing a washer and dryer I didn't originally think needed repairing.
Got to jerry-rig the clothes washer pretty well. The wife was seriously impressed.
Helpful hint: take care of the UL-approved strain relief first when installing new power cables for dryers. Otherwise...you'll have to go back to square one.
Shocked myself once on the 240 volt line (I was tired and angry, what can I say -- stupid strain relief).
Got a nice call from Richmondesi. I think we're both eager to show our wives that our internet friends aren't creepy -- but rather, complete, whole, interesting, fun human beings. :smile:
My wife had fun with the cordless drill (uh oh).

But the house is coming together nicely.

I understand completely. It's fascinating how you can be so Frustrated and excited at the same time. The first time I moved, I was so mad at being hounded about the stove when I had more important things to worry about hat I said "Fine!", stomped out and drug the stove out of my pick-up and carried it inside by myself. I have no idea how I did it. My family knew i had been pushed to far and knew netter than to try and help me, let alone stop me. :lol: My grandpa gave me hell about it afterward though. :redface:

The Secret life a Pi. Was that the title of a book?

The Life of Pi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_of_Pi) is an adventure novel, but isn't about the ratio of a circle's circumference to its radius; when I first saw the book, I was curious too -- since there are all kinds of books out there about odd bits of mathematical history like phi (http://www.amazon.com/Golden-Ratio-Worlds-Astonishing-Number/dp/0767908163) and e (http://www.amazon.ca/e-Story-Number-Eli-Maor/dp/0691058547). Naturally there's already one about pi (http://www.amazon.ca/History-PI-Petr-Beckmann/dp/0312381859/ref=pd_sim_b_2/181-4967137-0960668). :smile:

I've listened to The Life of Pi on CD (good for long car trips). It wasn't a bad book, though it did require a bit of suspension of belief. I've read/heard far worse!

Jesse, it's not in the manual, but "licking" is generally not an accepted means of appliance repair. :wink: Hope today is a bit less shocking, and that every day has you and the family feeling more and more at home.

I've had lots of cordless tools, too, and love them all...but the past couple of years have seen me move more towards corded most of the time.
Oh, I still use and love cordless, but some of my more recent projects require more time and power (hey dad, I'm growing up! :biggrin:), and battery doesn't meet that requirement most of the time.
That said, I have a battery powered weed eater that is the best weed eater I've ever owned...cutting time, of course, is short, but it runs exactly long enough for me to trim the house and fence...and has enough power to decapitate a copperhead! (discovered quite by accident, of course; had I seen said copperhead before it was chopped, the only way I'd've tried to kill it with said weed eater would be to throw it at said snake :blush:)

Shave soap? Yeah, yeah, Mr. This Guy. You're testing it. Good for you and all that, but can you elaborate any? Come on, man! Help your fellow shave geeks! Glycerin or tallow? Scents? Out with the details! :w00t:

[sol92258]

Can you spell J-E-A-L-O-U-S ? :mad3:


don't feel bad, Doug. I was talking to Micah earlier, and I think I'm going to pass the samples I have from Jesse to you and him so we can all have a go with them and let him know what our thoughts are...I've gotten several shaves with #5 in, so I'll get that to one of ya'll next. You both already have #10, but we'll kinda have a Distraction Green Mountain Soap Pass going on...with Jesse's approval, of course!

I use my cordless drill with a paint attachment to make soap. Does that count? :biggrin:

[profsaffel]

Anyone know how to load web pages as txt only? I think I maybe able to access the... uh... other site if I can do it text only. Hmmmm... :blush:

[Gruder]

If you're in my area, stop and get some Murray's. They make a quart sized bag that comes in a reusable cup.:w00t:

Thanks for the tip! I'll have to look for those once my current supply dwindles a tad. :smile:

It counts as cool in my book. Power tools good.

Alright, ladies and gents, it's time to pack the PC. Unless I check in from the hotel tomorrow night, I'll see you all in a couple of days. Enjoy your weekend!

She said she uses it to make the soap, not apply it. :rolleyes:

No it doesn't. It just mixes the oils, butters and lye water faster. :001_smile

Right now it's glycerine. She's working on having a mill made so that she can use tallow in all of her soaps and make them as hard as French milled soaps. This sample will be, if I'm told correctly, Glycerine and Lanolin.

I'm hoping for a glycerine MWF sort of concoction.

easy to do in linux. hehehe

lynx, links, and a few others.

couldn't tell you about windows. tho I think Opera comes with a text or old school mode or something like that.

Uh, nevermind. :blushing: "Nothing to see here! Move along!"

Hmm, sounds like this may have some potential.

I have to wait until Saturday to pick it up. He's off until then. There will be a review posted ASAP and I plan on giving her an invite to join here as a vendor, if that's okay with the mods, for opinions, concerns, and feedback from 15,000+ fanatical wet-shavers.

Sounds interesting. I've tried adding some lanolin to an all glycerin soap once and it lost some of the bubbleage factor.

Did someone say "pecan pie"? :drool:

with a splash of bourbon? :drool: :drool:

We really need to have a B&B tour of the soap plant sometime. It would be a neat way to meet some folks. Plus, when they were first getting started, Mom and Dad hired a big-time soap-industry consultant (now sadly deceased) to come and talk to them about the whole ball of wax. Their professionalism convinced him that they weren't just Alabama country bumpkins with a silly dream, and Mom's pecan pie won him over -- he came back the next time for the cost of airfare, hotel, and more home cooking.

[soapbox]

I know what you mean. Especially the sawzall. You can't beat the Porter Cable Tiger Saw.

I kind of look forward to needing a sawzall -- but a cordless sawzall seems kind of silly. I want a sawzall that requires a weight-training regimen to use correctly, you know? :smile:

Apparently soap and pecan pie are the way to Blake's heart. :lol:

How about a streaming vidcast for those of us north of the Mason-Dixon?

If you time the mail just right, we could even be snacking on a slice of your mom's pecan pie while we watch. :devil: :biggrin:

hey, it was a polished turd (http://www.howtocleanstuff.net/strategies/how-to-polish-a-turd/)...


They polished a turd on Mythbusters... Hmmm...


Who polishes poop? :confused2

Clearly you've never worked for the government. It's at least possible this phrase started within the halls of bureaucracy. :001_tongu

You, you're funny.

Absolutely! I know the folks appreciate any and all feedback. I love the idea of a Green Mountain [Shaving] Soap pass!

One funny thing I noticed yesterday when shaving with #10 for the first time -- man, this Denton water is way, way, way better than the Maryland water I had been using. I need to go back to all the other samples to re-establish a baseline for lathering. Gah!

I wonder how bottled water would work.
