My Dunlap Syndrome is in remission.

1. A sock that is used as a temporary contained for faecal matter.
2. A vital part of any dedicated EverQuest player's equipment. A poopsock eliminates the need to go all the way to the bathroom, which wastes valuable levelling time.
3. An insult used to refer to an obsessive MMORPG player who gains an unusually high number of levels in one day.

Dave's a little too into World of Warcraft. He's been poopsocking for about 12 hours now.

Dammit, casual players can't get anywhere in this game. The good stuff is all camped by poopsockers

SpawnSlayer13 is such a poopsock. He got from level 1 to 60 in the space of a day.

And to think there are people who would be so bold as to claim that the Internet has never done anything good for the English language...

Look, you called them iDevices. This already is justification to lump you into a sub-group of people known as Apple Enthusiasts.

That has got to be the dumbest thing said in this thread so far - and that is saying a lot. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=idevice

iDevice

Any otherwise "normal" electrical device that is rendered uber-cool simply because it was manufactured by Apple and they put an "i" in front of it. Typically, they do nothing that other maker's devices don't do but they are more expensive. iDevices breed iDouches.

Time to lump you into the sub-group of people known as Anti-Apple-Douches.

Anecdotal evidence that doesn't change the fact that:
1. The Gimp is a derogatory term

2. Multiple users have requested that the name be changed

What would be lost if the name was changed? Is it really that great of a name?

We also do it with landfill off gassing. It takes a fairly sizable landfill, but the gas is going into the atmosphere anyways, may as well trap it and burn it.

It's interesting that you mention that. It reminds me that we racist, wasteful, redneck, white bred 'Zonies' (none of these are my personal adjectives, but I've heard every one of them too many times to keep track), have a number of these systems in place. In addition to the landfill methane capture systems (which, last I checked, were somewhat experimental -- although the provided link isn't the only system in place), the solar projects, and the algal oil reactor (which, apparently, died along with GreenFuel Tech -- although the summer heat, based upon my own research, may have played a factor in the Arizona trial), we also have a small scale hydroelectric system put in place by the Salt River Project (SRP).

The desert area around Phoenix has an extensive irrigation system in place. Many of our canals are laid upon the same canals that the Hohokam people laid their canals. The water comes from (primarily) a series of reservoirs on the Salt River. These are mostly fed by snowmelt from the White Mountains (more proof of our white bred heritage). SRP has added small hydroelectric generators to multiple areas where a higher canal feeds into a lower canal. Granted, they do have pumping stations that move from lower areas to higher, so the entire system isn't completely gravity fed. However, it's nice to see them adding the equivalent of a regenerative braking system to their infrastructure.

I think you meant this instead:

In which case you've proven yourself to be 7331.

Users on 4chan use the suffix "-fag" to mean "obsessive fan". It may be related to them all being about twelve years old.

To someone who has seen the subculture before, it's unintentional bigotry rather than an intentional insult. If they were actually trying to call someone gay, they'd say "fagfag".

I think your argument would benefit from the use of Twunt.

You must not be reading the same definition I am.

So by "Must" you are referring to "the unfermented or fermenting juice expressed from fruit, especially grapes" and by "Reading" you are referring to a city in England or Pennsylvania? News flash: many words have multiple definitions.

You must not be reading the same definition I am.

The Mayo Clinic says that there are health problems even if everything is done correctly

With most of those falling into how sanitary the equipment is, and the after care -- which should be treated about as seriously as a second degree burn, so not something to take lightly. By the time you have a tattoo, it's like someone took a sewing machine to a piece of paper -- the top couple of layers of the dermis are pretty banged up and if you don't treat it like a would, it can go wrong.

A scratcher who bought a gun off the web and has no training might actually have the needle penetration set too deep, in which case it will be excruciating. And, those guys likely won't know anything about sanitation -- sometimes someone will set up at a party and tattoo his friends, run from this. Always ask to see a portfolio.

I would say that the advice to use an antibiotic is actually a bad idea. Something like a polysporin will actually cause your body to drive out the ink, instead of sealing it in and letting it heal. Something more like a Vitamin E cream is what I've always been told and had good results.

While those risks are real, if you look around for a decent shop, and taker proper care, most of it is unlikely to happen. Nowadays in most cities of reasonable size, there's lots of people who have apprenticed and have the right equipment. Shop around.

This will not work. at least, not the way they think it will.

What is the reason for a .xxx domain. Ostensibly, to allow people to filter out 'porn'. Simply block the domain. A lofty goal, but it can't work this way.

1. Would a site be 'required' to register in that domain? Well, redtube.com wouldn't go away, they simply add redtube.xxx
2. One mans porn is another mans vacation pics.
3. Who would be the internet police? Fred Phelps? a Sharia imam? Owner of a Barcelona gay bar? Who decides?
4. Is this required? If I have some beach pics that include a girl in a tiny bikini, does that count? In that case, every photo sharing website counts.
5. There is always Rule 34.

Are you possibly aware of the word "Whoosh?". If not I can recommend urban dictionary.

nope...90's slang.

"Cised" (I spelled it wrong in my original post) has its origins from the word "Excited". I'm not sure how you would spell it phonetically, but listen to how you pronounce the word "excited", drop the "ex" part, and I think you will have an idea of how "cised" is pronounced :-)

Oh, if you knew my life experiences. I could write a whole series of rather sorted books, that could be made into movies that the MPAA would refuse to rate, and would even probably be too explicit for Skinemax. Real life friends who have known parts of my life story have suggested that I start writing the books.

Well, this started out as what I thought would be obvious humor (GURU Meditation errors) in response to having the "real" Amiga experience. I honestly assumed I was going to get either a "funny" mod, or else someone would have told me to install GOMF (currently definition 2) to counteract the facetious app.

It would seem that you thought I was attacking you. Honestly, I was just being what I thought was funny. I probably shouldn't have carried it so far, but when it comes down to it, €111 is a ridiculous amount of money to pay just to run some Amiga software on my old Quadra. So I carried it on far too long.

I've programmed on the PET series, the VIC-20, the C-64, and various Amigas. The Amiga was, by far, the best of the bunch. I suppose I could go dig up details, but I as I recall Jack Tramiel from Atari was responsible for the awesome hardware set that the 68k Amiga had at the time. Unfortunately, the software sucked rocks. Not because they had the wrong idea, but because they had a piss poor implementation. As urban legend would have it, the company that was hired to build the Workbench (or was it Kickstart?) actually lost the source code and they were stuck with the binary for far too long. And Jack, sadly, didn't pony up for an MMU in the design. Hence the ubiquitous GURU Meditation errors. However, that aside, the interleaved access to memory via the 68k and the Blitter, as well as having a graphics coprocessor (the Copper) to coordinate the show, made the Amiga a joy to program for. I had a great time. I programmed in a a lot of assembler. I was an early adopter of QuickBasic. I even experimented with Forth (notwithstanding Tony Farmer's review of it for the Amiga claiming that Forth was the "...Porsche of languages amongst Fords and Chevys...")

However, time goes by. I already have Unix (OS X) on my current PPC Macs. And my old PPC Macs, while having the option of MacOS (not my favorite system), can still run Linux if I want. I just don't see the point in shelling out $132 USD for a nostalgic experience. Particularly when my best memories were back in the 68k days.

So, to summarize: peace, love, and rockets.

I live in Canada, so I don't get screwed by AT&T. I get screwed by Fido instead, but I am used to that. So the phrase screw the pooch actually makes a lot more sense in Canada?

Huffington Post: "The 9 Countries With The Worst Beer In The World". Guess who comes in at #1, as voted by a diverse range of the world's population? Do we really need any more [citations] and footnotes?

The reason for this is back in 1920 our government had the bright idea to reduce crime and corruption, solve social problems, improve health and hygiene, and reduce the tax burden on poorhouses and prisons by making alcohol illegal to produce, consume, transport, buy, or sell. Prohibition. All distilleries and breweries were shut down and their inventory destroyed (except for a few that were crafty enough to slip under the government's radar). When these breweries were closed down, most of them permanently, their progress in the field of crafting tasty beer was stopped and forgotten. Meanwhile, the rest of the world was making beer like they had been for the past 500 years. Eventually, in 1933, prohibition was lifted and production of alcohol started with a clean slate. This is why American beer sucks: because there is no history, not as much trial-and-error time to get it right as everyone else had. And we haven't even broached the subject of Canadian beer, either, so STFU.

> Shitfuck isn't a word, but you get my point.

Is is according to Urban Dictionary :)

When they said it, though, they didn't have testicles in mind: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=balls+out Steam power, all the way!

Actually, that 72 virgins number is a common misunderstanding. It says you get to paradise with 72 perpetual virgins. The problem is that they will always be virgins so you can't screw them and it will be like spending eternity with 72 twelve year old sisters.

And another thing, old sand-script gets mistranslated all the time. The word for paradise is one letter from hell so it should be more like 'if you kill enough people, you will go to hell and be bothered by 72 twelve year old Prima donnas that annoy the fuck out of you forever.'.

Ah, when I search for sugar daddy

Google search is not the same thing as Google AdSense.

Ah but sugar daddies are candies yet at the top of the results is for a "Millionaire Dating Site" which is a sponsored link. Then of the sponsored links to the right, there are 7, not one is for candy, they are all dating or arraignment websites. Of the actual results, there are 2 about candy, the one above and Sugardaddys Sumptuous Sweeties and another is a wiki page with links for different meanings. The rest of them, 7, are again arrangement or dating websites. The results for cougar are a bit different though, there is no sponsored link above the results. But there are 4 ads on the side, about dating including www.SugarDaddyforMe.com. Of the actual results the top is the definition from the urban dictionary, wiki is the next two, the first about the cat then about Age disparity in sexual relationships. After those news links are next, from BYU's Cougar football team to Google killing "cougar ads". Of the rest of results on the first page only two are dating websites. Not including the 2 definitions and news results 3 results for "cougar" are about dating whereas 7 results for "sugar daddy" are dating.
