Honestly, how can you not see that coming? |
|

For the record, I have no idea what [UnaBubba] said. |

// I have no idea what [UnaBubba] said. // |

That's what [UnaBubba] said. |
|
| |
Something about a thunderstorm and a birthday
party. |
|
| |
I imagine that if you go to the Wayback machine you
can find some of his nuggets of wisdom. Also, he
does exist as a real person outside the HB. |
|
| |
// ...Wayback machine you can find some of his nuggets of wisdom.// |
|
| |
I was just there, actually. I followed the link on your profile page, [IXXthly]. Then I got lost, as usually happens on the HB, roaming from idea to user to another idea to another user and so-forth and so-on until I forgot I was still on the Wayback machine. |
|
| |
When I realized I was still on the Wayback machine, it gave me a sudden shudder of horror... thinking what might have been, had Zaphod left through the office door... |
|
| |
//does exist as a real person outside the HB.// What? Is this possible? |
|
| |
No, it's not possible. Now go take your pills and you'll feel
better. |
|
| |
what was it I said? I probably agreed with Jesus... |
|
| |
I'm not sure. Who were you at the time? |
|
| |
What [theroberts] said, -. |
|
| |
[Treon] wasn't going to not to have said that. |
|
| |
Don't fret, [pocmloc]. It is not possible. |
|
| |
also; What [UnaBubba] said. |

Once a 'baker, always a 'baker. |
|
| |
//Once a 'baker, always a 'baker//
Is this right? "Once" implies a point in time where you became a 'baker, but "always" refers to all of time. So, logically, your statement says that you were a 'baker before you became a 'baker. |
|
| |
This is like saying *in bed* after every fortune in a fortune cookie!! |
|
| |
[hippo] you make an interesting point - I repost thricely: |
|
| |
i) Was Leonardo Da Vinci a 'baker? If so, then despite the non-existence of the halfbakery as we currently know it at the time of the Italian Rennaissance, then we must conclude that there is an abstract "halfbakery" to which people can become associated. In the same way a triangle is always a triangle, and doesn't need to log onto the "Triangulationry" (a fictional triangle-themed website) in order to be so determined. |
|
| |
ii) While "Once" does often suggest an initial status, from which a previous status can be further inferred, it is also possible for something to happen once, and yet, always have been at the same time. In reference to the triangles above, a shape may be unknown to an individual, who may later identify it as a triangle. That identification event happens "once" - but it doesn't mean that the shape wasn't a triangle prior to its identification. |
|
| |
iii) "Once a 'baker, always a 'baker" trips off the tongue far more easily that "Once a 'baker, henceforth, always a 'baker". |
|
| |
//Once a 'baker, always a 'baker// |
|
| |
Agreed. Name changed to reflect this. |
|
| |
//I repost thricely//
"riposte"? |
|
| |
What the previous several manifestations of [waugsqueke] said. |
|
| |
//repost vs riposte//, //eggcorns// and //It's under circumstances like these that a well thought-through annotation can become a damp squid.// Well said [Zanzibar] - ! |
|
| |
//So we P dope ideas under the expectation they will be further annode ?// |
|
| |
After researching several "Urban Dictionary" websites, I still haven't a clue what you are trying to say. |
|
| |
However I have discovered that "Ham Wallet" is a new descriptive for vagina. |
|
| |
Ah, that's a FET-ish thing, so [bigs] is still right. Although he could just be Channeling the spirit of Walter Schottky. But he's a Diode-in-the-wool halfbaker, so that's not surprising. |
|
| |
A little Bias is permissible. Who knows what you might Gain ? |
|
| |
So would a "Ham Radio" utilize VeSFETs? |
|
| |
What [RayfordSteele] said. |
|
| |
[MikeD], the link on my profile page is to [grayure]. |
|
| |
//Who knows what you might Gain// |
|
| |
This idea is somewhat baked in folklore. For example, when anecdotes about Charles Martel were re-attributed to Charlemagne, then... something. |
|
| |
Yes, [score sans one-ly]. After perusing her page, I ventured out into some of her ideas, then clicked on the names of other 'bakers, then followed some of their ideas.... before I realized it I was lost in an unbakery. Had I been shunted into the business end of a total perspective vortex, I might have walked away with a stomach full of fairy cake. And, of course; What [evilpenguin] said. |
|
| |
Wait - [XIX]! I just read on your profile page "I may be gone shortly". |
|
| |
I hope that's a matter of personal choice, not medical calamity - and, in either case, that you don't delete your account! |
|
| |
What [lewisgirl] said (btw - I got an email from [lewisgirl] today). |
|
| |
What [pertinax] said (not kidding). |
|
| |
The ghost of [lewisgirl]? If not, please pass on best of
wishes and thoughts her way. |
|
| |
[Pertinax], i won't be gone shortly. I put that there
just after [UB] left because i felt i was wasting too
much time here, which is what i think he thought
himself, but i've now decided it's good practice for
writing and generating ideas for stories. I have no
idea if that's just my subconscious telling me that
and making me completely lost. |
|
| |
I looked at [grayure]'s page and was surprised how
few ideas there were. |
|
| |
Yeah, that's easy for you to say [Ubie]. They don't
sell that kind of lubricant here. |
|
| |
That's very kind, but you might want to keep it for
yourself. |
|
| |
Why? It's not like he can do anything with it! |
|
| |
As [Beep] so eloquently puts it, the "swiss cheese"
effect is so profuse here at the bakery, I doubt the
implementation of this idea would go noticed at
all... |
|
| |
oh my- I looked at that link...(what I said)...NSFW= Not Safe for WOMEN!! |
