I believe [Maxwell Buchanan] is currently away acting
as a freelance consultant topologist in Borneo.
Sturton is researching for his coffee-table book
"Hotel Lobbies of Malaysia", and the intercalary is on
an urgent mission of conservation to save the last
remaining population of MacGuggen's Parasitic
Gibbon. |
|
| |
All three are expected to be back the moment they
return. |
|
| |
They finally realized what a massive waste of time this site truly is. |
|
| |
More importantly, Where the hell have YOU been??? |
|
| |
We heard you were coming back. |
|
| |
//They finally realized what a massive waste of time this site truly is.// Compared with what ?//
Writing the next great novel; inventing an actually 'patentable' invention; talking to your loved one... |
|
| |
//talking to your loved one...// |
|
| |
Talk to the hand, [squeak]. |
|
| |
Not that I was missed but I've just been short on
ideas. |
|
| |
I'm writing several books at once. |
|
| |
We have been busy following up some of the
concepts mooted in the "Time travel
ccomputer" idea, but it hasn't turned out well
for the bowl of petunias and particularly not
for the whale … |
|
| |
//I'm writing several books at once.// |
|
| |
Ah. testing out that "multiple writing hand attachment", are we? |
|
| |
// They finally realized what a massive waste of time this site truly is.// |
|
| |
There are entrepreneurs who can probably make a living off the truly awesome ideas that are carefully hidden among the [Why-dont-we-pirate-custard] and [M-F-D] posts. |
|
| |
In generations to come, scientists will credit our investment of time here in the "Bakery" as the "reason I got into picotechnology" or "the inspiration for my zero point energy battery" or at the very least " the place where I learned about the laws of thermodynamics" |
|
| |
I'm off to Tokyo next week... to throw salt in the eyes of a practicing Sumo. |
|
| |
Nobody's gone anywhere, because nobody was ever
here in the first place. The Halfbakery—as with all of
your experiences for the past dozen years or so—is
nothing more than a prolonged fever dream, which you
are due to wake up from any second now. |
|
| |
I hate to be the one to have to break that to you,
though, because when you get back you're going to
find that reality is even worse. |
|
| |
It would be very easy for reality to be worse than here. |
|
| |
Where has everyone gone??? MAD? Bwahahahahah |
|
| |
I would like to take a vacation to Jamaica or somewhere, but I'm still here... |
|
| |
Or punctuating excessively. |
|

{putting the chairs on the tables} |
|

They had homes to go to. Do you mind? I'd like to sweep that spot. |

|

I continue to observe from afar. |
|
| |
There are places other than here?!? |
|
| |
Chicago, but only for a few days. |
|
| |
[marked-for-deletion] not an idea. |
|
| |
... but great to see [gizmo] back! |
|
| |
Going back to Lithuania next week, a bit still working on 3D Study Mazes... |
|
| |
//where has everyone gone ???// |
|
| |
Pssst - go check out [ytk]'s new value for pi (or Bob).
Everyone who's anyone is there. |
|
| |
Except for waugsqueke, FarmerJohn, Starchaser, polartomato, pertinax, k_sra, st3f, FloridaManitee, thumbwax... |
|
| |
I'm in Brisbane chairing a conference which even I find boring. |
|
| |
Somebody who's been away for a while seems to come
back and post one of these queries about once every three
months. Plus, some of the Old Breed still pop in from time
to time. Wasn't [waugs] here last summer? |
|
| |
[jutta] says this isn't an idea, but I think you could turn this into one where we look at each individual baker's periods of presence/absence on the bakery and convert them into tones and pauses, generating a sort of multiplexed Morse sending slowly frantic messages into /dev/null |
|
| |
None of what we do here is really ideas, or ideal. |
|
| |
Lurch, I like the sound of this idea, I wonder if we could apply an index of productivity and match it to the global economy. Perhaps it could be correlation to lack of work rather than causation due to our increased productivity, by my calculations that would make us all ..[tap tap on calculator] .. erh.. Greek?
Can anyone confirm this, I for one am not Greek, so you guys must be "even more" Greek. |
|
| |
//None of what we do here is really ideas, or ideal.//

I don't know about the others, but I just went for a walk... |

I just can't rid myself of the thought that apart from
me there are about 10 posters on here under maybe
10 accounts each. I hope I'm wrong but it all seems
too orchestrated and the 0-1000 voting doesn't help. |
|
| |
//None of what we do here is really ideas, or
ideal// |
|
| |
Ideal, ideas, idiom, idiots. Isn't that the
declension of something in Latin? |
|
| |
Anyway, Sturton is back, and the intercalary will
be allowed back into the country as sure as they're
convinced that what he has isn't infectious to
humans. |
|
| |
I've urged them both to get their own accounts,
but they've declined. Sturton sends his best
wishes. The intercalary sends a jpeg of a bite
mark and wants to know if I can guess what it was. |
|
| |
I think you're paranoid, [Phront]. Most of the regulars
here have a unique enough writing style that I could
probably pick them out without seeing the name. |
|
| |
Hey, that gives me an idea… |
|
| |
…unfortunately, someone thought of it 11 years
before I did. |
|
| |
If you think a throwaway comment is indicative of
paranoia, ytk, you're the one with the problem. I
noticed that there's an inner circle here because
there is one and if that makes you bite back then you
have an even bigger problem. |
|
| |
No halfbakers have penetrated my inner circle. |
|
| |
10? 10 users? You've gotta be kidding me. There are
definitely no more than 8 and possibly fewer than 6,
including you, me and [jutta], [Phront]. |
|
| |
I make 18 different users annotating this idea. |
|
| |
//copied illegally by Vegans // I'm not sure copyright extends that far. |
|
| |
Whoa there, [Phront]. Bit of a persecution complex going on there… |
|
| |
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean there's
not someone hiding in the bushes in the park across
the road, sharpening a box cutter with your name
engraved on the blade. |
|
| |
Damn! You spotted me [UB]. <Goes off muttering to the
cammo clothing shop to demand a refund> |
|
| |
//apart from me there are about 10 posters on here under maybe 10 accounts each.// |
|
| |
Can't speak for anyone else, but there's only one of me.
I'm pretty sure you just can't fake whatevertheheck I am. |
|
| |
...and if someone figures out what that 'is' exactly, I would greatly appreciate knowing. |
|
| |
That's easy [2 fries]. You are [link] minus 2 plus a hamburger
and a small drink. |
|
| |
Mea culpa. <Shamefacedly hands over toy and trudges away> |
|
| |
I just come and go. But I do miss this place when I don't get to
hang out and see what new in the HB. |
|
| |
Crap.
I do see spots in front of my eyes, and depending on who you ask I smell like garlic, roses, or, (according to east Indian buddies), spoiled milk. Thankfully bananas have not been mentioned.
I was almost sure that there'd be 42 fries in a happy meal... |
|
| |
I agree with [lurch] [gizmo], turn it into an idea and no mfd. |
|
| |
I've been changing litter boxes, fixing a tractor, driving until my butt hurts, then doing laundry. |
|
| |
Of course it's not [big]. You forgot a left handed 1/4-20
bolt and the small radish. An m6 will work in a pinch, but
the clone always seems to end up with a German accent. |
|
| |
Just don't use a right handed thread, the Government
barely managed to cover up the last one. |
|
| |
I think that was what Douglas Adams meant, [2fries]. |
|
| |
Well, maybe we could count off and see how many people are here. |
|
| |
here (ok, ok, finally, the obligatory "you rang?") |
|
| |
I'm still seeing only 1, and maybe a half. |
|
| |
I am not here. I am just a filament of your
imagination... |
|
| |
Is it possible to have a +1 account at halfbakery? |
|
| |
I'm still waiting for my HB points card to be delivered. |
|
| |
No, my guest is the rhinoceros. I need someplace to keep
him for a few weeks while we clear away all of the life-
size inflatable Rudolf Hess dolls that keep mysteriously
appearing on the Institute's front lawn, or else we'll never
get a
proper veldt built. I hope nobody minds. |
|
| |
If you don't start bringing your friend with the horny
nose to parties, [Alter], we're going to start believing
you're just a pro-gay-marriage campaigner who merely
has an imaginary significant other. |
|
| |
I'm only hear in 1/4 of the parallel universes I know about, so I
may or may not be hear. |
|
| |
Alright, do you want me to bring the rhinoceros or my
wife? Because it's a very long drive, and the two of them
do not get along. Our trip to Yellowstone last summer was
the most hellish experience of my life. |
|
| |
I'm not surprised. Taking the wife of a road trip with
a friend who's sporting a constant, 18in horn for
3,000km would try anyone's patience. |
|
| |
Yeah, and it was really imbalancing the motorcycle, too. |
|
| |
Oh, I am pro-same sex marriage, but I don't go around
shouting about it. |
|
| |
I don't blame you. I'm sure there can be few things
so disconcerting as waking up to find the Westboro
Baptist Congregation on your front lawn. |
|
| |
Even worse than the Rudolf Hess dolls. |
|

I wouldn't mind finding the WBC on my front lawn. It'd give me some much-needed bow-aiming practice. |
|
| |
Hey guys - Don't worry, I've got a few ideas in the "quarter-bakery" and as soon as they pass 37.5% baked they will be ready for posting here :) |
