bored, ask me things

[JohnKleeb]

Yeah I really am that bored.

[bigwillq]

1. Who will win the World Series

this year? :shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

2. I have two answers

Realistically: I give the St. Louis Cardinals the best shot since they have the best player in baseball and are well balanced.
Idealistically: The Orioles just because.

[bigwillq]

3. If the Orioles win the World Series

this year, I will give you $100.

Deal?


Who is your fave Oriole?

[JohnKleeb]

6. Sweetness

Of all time? Its gotta be Ripken even though I was a first baseman/outfielder/pitcher and a lefty, right now it's I guess Melvin Mora, he's a really classy guy.

[bigwillq]

9. Did you ever see Ripken play

in person? :shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

10. plenty of times

Last time I saw him play was 2001 and it was great since my best friend was visting from Texas and in the last at bat he got a single. Tehre was another game I went to where he hit a grand slam too.

[bigwillq]

14. First time I ever saw Don Mattingly in person

he hit a 3-run home run. I was so excited!
Donnie Baseball is my all-time fave Yankee.

:bounce:

Did you collect baseball cards?

[JohnKleeb]

16. Yeah I still have my Ripken baseball cards collection

I haven't bought any new cards since elementary school though.

[bigwillq]

19. Cool.

I still have all of my Mattingly's.
:)

Back when I was growing up, baseball cards were the rage. I think they have since died off.

[JohnKleeb]

22. When I was 12

It was when Pokemon became the big thing to the kids, it was so stupid and shit. I remember my bus stop and there was one girl who intially called it stupid then got in to it. My brother and I were hte only ones who didnt give a shit about it. Though my brother being the little capitalist that he is went in to make a profit then he lost his cards and found them only recently. The South Park episode making fun of Pokemon is a classic, I responded to it the way Wilson did to a Birth of a Nation, that it was all so true.

[bigwillq]

24. Goodnight Kleeb.

I am leaving work now.

Talk soon. :hi:

[JohnKleeb]

26. later

fucking Red Sox beat the Orioles again, blah but only 157 games to go.

[RevCheesehead]

4. what's your favorite course this semester?

[JohnKleeb]

7. US History II

[Ava]

5. why?

just, why?

[JohnKleeb]

8. My mom and brothers went to a movie

and my dad went to a meeting, and I got bored of playing PS2.

[Ava]

11. what game?

[JohnKleeb]

12. MLB 2K6

Baseball game I picked up after class on thursday.

[Ava]

13. how old are you?

you don't have to answer if you don't want to, lol.

[JohnKleeb]

15. 18

[Ava]

17. here i was thinking i was the only young poster on du

if you are bored, maybe hop in the car and go find something to do, that is unless you live in hicksville, USA like me. :shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

18. Isn't Nixon 18-19?

Oh and I Don't have a car for two reasons, I am lazy and I have terrible vision.

[Ava]

20. i'm not sure how old he is.

i thought cars were for lazy people. :P

[JohnKleeb]

25. I meant lazy in regards to getting the license

I think hes a freshman, not over 21 though since he's mentioned having a roomie that buys his booze for him.

[Ava]

27. naughty naughty naughty

i didn't know zombie was a law breaker! :o

[JohnKleeb]

29. Yep the drunk is

Not that I can talk.

[ZombieNixon]

28. Yeah, I'm 19.

And my roommate's not back from his house yet, so I've only had a couple of shots of vodka and some Coke. :(

I'm thinking of hitting some old Kahlua and Pepsi if he doesn't show up soon. x(

[Ava]

30. better not let those prof. catch you

:P

[JohnKleeb]

31. At least you got something

I won't turn 19 until late July and my once somewhat reliable source for booze went sober on me but that's a good thing in the longrun.

[Ava]

33. you two are just a bunch of bad boys aren't you

:P

i've never tasted a sip of alcohol in my life

[JohnKleeb]

35. Nah its part of my heritage

Not one sip? hell I don't even remember how old I was when I had my first sip.

[ZombieNixon]

39. I was 7.

I found some beer in the fridge and I thought it was apple juice. :blush:

[Ava]

41. "thought it was apple juice"

yeah right! lol :spray:

[ZombieNixon]

43. Herk you, I was seven.

:P

[Ava]

44. sure...

:P

[Ava]

45. i've tasted champaigne before when i was little

but my grandma saw me do it and made me spit it out.

[ZombieNixon]

46. I had champagne once when I was about 9 or 10.

I spat it out immediately because I thought I'd swallowed poison. x(

[Ava]

47. yeah, it was pretty gross

but i was curious, plus my older brother "double dog dared" me :rofl:

[JohnKleeb]

48. I dont think Ive had much champagne

Its not the alcohol I see at family gatherings. You know what I did spit out once though was Absolut vodka plain on its own with nothing mixed in it, last time I ever had vodka like that.

[ZombieNixon]

49. Oh, god, straight vodka is disgusting!

:puke:

It burns like all hell if it's not mixed with something. x(

[JohnKleeb]

56. I had some because it was in my nana's fridge

Yeah I thought so too, I admit it I am weak with vodka.

[ZombieNixon]

57. I think vodka pisses me off...

although that might be because I've been pissed lately and that's all I've been drinking and any alcohol acts as an emotional intensifier, no matter what mood I'm in.

[JohnKleeb]

58. I dont think Ive ever gotten pissed when I drink

Two things usually happen, I get all happy and lose any imambition I have and I actually can talk to people without fear then I kinda get down and wonder if I am an alcoholic.

[Ava]

59. vodka sounds nasty

not the drink, the word

[JohnKleeb]

60. It has a slavic orgin

from "voda"

[ZombieNixon]

63. The diminutive form of "voda."

So it basically means "little water." What the herk?

[JohnKleeb]

66. We call her grandmolthers baba too

Errr I am half Slavic see.

[ZombieNixon]

62. It is nasty.

You have to mix it in until you can barely taste it. If it burns, then you've put too much vodka in it. :puke:

[Ava]

69. i'm a good girl, i'm not going to drink until i'm 21

:yoiks:

[ZombieNixon]

70. *snort*

Yeah, right. :P

How much longer to go? :shrug:

[Ava]

71. i'm serious

i'm never going to do drugs, i'm going to wait until 21 to drink, and i'm waiting til marriage.


:spray:

[ZombieNixon]

74. Does the :spray: smiley mean

ou can't say that with a straight face? :P

[Ava]

77. i cant say it with a straight face

i just have to gather myself a few minutes before saying it.

[Ava]

79. let's not get this thread locked

:P

[ZombieNixon]

80. Oh, I've done a lot worse before.

:P

So...how much longer until you *can* drink legally? :shrug:

[Ava]

81. now why would i tell you that

it takes away the mystery. :P

[ZombieNixon]

91. There's not that much mystery.

You're not twenty-one yet, but I want to know how long until you can buy me booze (or until you make me buy you booze). :P

[Ava]

95. i'd end up making you buy me booze

but that doesn't matter because i'm a "good girl" :P

[ZombieNixon]

99. Good.

More for me. }(

[Ava]

108. nope, my goodness will force me to poor it down the sink

:P

[ZombieNixon]

112. Well, geez, I'm never drinking with you in the room.

:eyes:

:P

[Ava]

126. who says i'll ever be in your room

then again, what does your roomate look like? :P

[ZombieNixon]

I never said *my* room.

Just any room in general. :shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

82. like that time you told revacts to herk you

:hide:

[ZombieNixon]

83. Oh, herking is completely innocent.

:P

:eyes:

[JohnKleeb]

89. Of course it is

but I could herking tell what you were talking about.

[Ava]

92. i think herk is always on zombie mind

[JohnKleeb]

96. Its on my mind 99.9% of the time too

Its just I am a little 6 letter word, s-u-b-t-l-e.

[ZombieNixon]

What is this sub-tile of which you speak?

:shrug: :silly:

[JohnKleeb]

114. How I keep it in so to speak

[ZombieNixon]

120. I prefer to whip it out.

Not right now, of course.

:hide:

[JohnKleeb]

124. Turtle, turtle

:D

[ZombieNixon]

93. She started it!

:hide:

[Ava]

97. both of you better shut the herk up

before this thread gets locked :P

[ZombieNixon]

104. Herking has never yet locked a thread.

:P

[JohnKleeb]

106. and I'll be damned if it happens

herkin A.

[Ava]

109. but you can accomplish anything if you put your mind to it

:P

[ZombieNixon]

115. Well, shall we get started?

:P

[Ava]

127. i think you already did

[Ava]

50. champagne is all i've ever tasted

yeah, i'm a loser :P

*sings beck*
Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?

[JohnKleeb]

42. Mine was probably at a family party

I was probably a toddler.

[ZombieNixon]

36. No...girls don't go for us...therefore we're smart, nice guys.

:popcorn:

[Ava]

38. you mean geeks?

:P

[JohnKleeb]

40. despite the fact I had a 2.7 GPA in high school

and have a short fuse, yeah I am a real nice, smart guy. :rofl:

[Ava]

32. btw, did you ever get in touch with the scholarship office?

[ZombieNixon]

34. No, fuckers weren't there today.

x(

I'll just march in tomorrow or Monday and yell at them until I get my way. :grr:

[Ava]

37. that's the spirit.

:P

[blue neen]

21. Do you think James Webb would have a chance against Allen in the fall?

(If he wins the primaries).

[JohnKleeb]

23. It depends

If Bush campaigns for Allen and Webb can use this against him like Kaine did against Kilgore lats fall then we may have a new senator. I think if the campaign can make out Allen to be a rubber stamp for Bush then theres a shot.

[Alleycat]

51. What's your favorite color?

[JohnKleeb]

54. Green

[no name no slogan]

52. Aw, you guys are so CUTE!!!

I love seeing all the young folk on here, congregating and conspiritating. If only I was 18 again...

[ZombieNixon]

65. Can you buy us booze?

:7

[no name no slogan]

85. ...

:spray:

:rofl:

Jeez, don't you kids have an older brother or something?

[JohnKleeb]

87. I dont

parents had to wait 3-4 years after marriage to decide to have kids :grr:

[no name no slogan]

90. I can relate

I'm an only child. Four years after me, my dad and mom split.

My mom has one sister, who had two kids. Both are also younger than me. I had NOBODY to buy me booze when I was underage. So instead I started smoking pot instead.

[JohnKleeb]

94. I think I prefer booze to pot

I haven't had pot in a while though.

[no name no slogan]

118. I got the pot out of my system by high school

I started getting high when I was ten, and was smoking every day by 12. By 14, I was done with it. One of my best friends' older brother was a dealer so he would steal from his bro's supply.

My friend was an amazing ice hockey player, and played varsity when he was in 9th grade. He probably could have gotten a free ride to any Division I school, but he literally smoked himself away. By his senior year, he was high most of the time, and didn't make the team.

Last I heard he was in and out of rehab a couple of times, living in his mom's basement, and trying to get his act together. This was ten years ago, when we were both 26.

Not to sound like some prude, but I've seen too many people fuck up their lives by abusing drugs. Not that I'm some great example, because I've screwed up plenty. But you gotta be careful, especially these days, when they're lacing weed with some bizarre shit.

[JohnKleeb]

122. Ahh dude I totally understand about drugs

Family history and all that stuff especially when it comes to heroin. I have sort of a moderate so to speak position on drugs and drug legalization. Perhaps decriminalize pot but I don't see anything wrong with some of this being illega.

[no name no slogan]

130. That's where I'm at, too

same thing with the family history-- I gotta watch the alcohol use for the same reason. I can see decrim for weed, but the other stuff is dangerous. Decriminalize, spend more on treatment and education, and your "drug problem" goes away.

[JohnKleeb]

132. alcholic history is bad for me too

Yeah decrim for weed I think would be the best but the libertarians are wrong on outright legalizing all of it.

[no name no slogan]

135. Yeah, libertarians scare me

"NO LAWS, EXCEPT TO KEEP THE POOR PEOPLE AWAY FROM MY MONEY". Sheeeesh. :eyes:

Glad to hear your year is going well. I had a good time in college-- sounds like you're having one too! :toast:

[JohnKleeb]

139. Yeah when I was in poli sci last year

I saw their convention and Badnarik seemed like a nut, I objecto to them on not just their bs economic issues but they're wrong on social issues like drugs too and affirmative actions plus their foreign policy scares me.

[Ava]

88. i do

but he's a herking jerk

[aQuArius]

53. You missed a good game....

The SOX Kicked the Rangers... My tickets were pretty good... Do you regret not accepting my offer?? :shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

55. Not at all

I got a 96 on my History exam without studying.

[aQuArius]

61. GOOD for YOU!!!

Yes, you missed a good game.... but it was all for a good cause!! You need to relax and have a good time tonight!! :toast:

[JohnKleeb]

64. I had to do prep work for my speech that day too

and I had an appointment. Yeah history comes easy to me now math oh god thats just the worst.

[aQuArius]

67. I'm an accountant.....

Sadly, math is my life.... and I REALLY LOVE IT!!! So, if you needsome help, just let me know! NO PROBLEMA! :bounce:

[JohnKleeb]

68. Actually I should elaborate

Some math is great, I am obbessed with baseball stats, political stats, etc but I hate some of this stuff, we had to do binary shit in math and needless to say I don't get it, and now I just remmbered that I have to take a math quiz online sometime soon, shit I shoulda dropped that course.

[aQuArius]

72. My specialties include...

Calculus, Geometry, Trig, Stats & Financial Math. Binary is so/so with me. If I can help, let me know, lol! :bounce:

[JohnKleeb]

73. Ahh the course is almost over

Its one of them courses that you have to take, I'll probably retake it over the summer.

[BreweryYardRat]

75. What school do you go to?

I'm at University of South Florida. Insert your own joke here.

[JohnKleeb]

76. How do you make a joke out of that?

I go to NOVA where the N stands for nowledge and and the O for onor.
www.nvcc.edu

[BreweryYardRat]

111. Heh.

We've got a large proportion of typical frat/sorority types in the student body. I didn't take into account the fact that you guys wouldn't know this.

Shame on me.

[JohnKleeb]

116. I actually once looked at USF when

I wanted to get in to criminogly but in the old times of sophomore year in high school, it's in Tampa ain't it?

[Ava]

78. you mean "sowth flawrduh"

:P

[BreweryYardRat]

113. Yeah.

;)

[Harper_is_Bush]

84. If you're bored you should do some activism.

Go see what the FReepers are up to and tattle on them.

[JohnKleeb]

86. tattling nah

If freepers want to say stupid shit, thats their right and its also my right to say ummm does former President Clinton's cock have to do with why we're in economic problems.

[Harper_is_Bush]

100. No no, tattle on the FReepin'.

If they're targeting a town council, you tip 'em off.

If they're targetting an artist, you tip 'em off.

Look for the FReepin', and take the air out of it by sending the FReep target a link of the ignorant source of the abusive emails and phone calls they're getting.

[JohnKleeb]

103. Oh

I really don't have the patience to handle freepers, their site is disgustingly designed.

[Harper_is_Bush]

107. Don't need to handle them, just there to screw them.

Figurativly. Figuratively. Whatever.

I was banned long ago, so I just go there to make grief for them however I can.

[JohnKleeb]

110. I know but the way that site is designed

is uhhh nasueating.

[RevolutionaryActs]

98. How was your Saturday?

:shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

101. Speak of the devil

It was pretty good, I didn't do much though except eat cake and play video games.

[RevolutionaryActs]

102. Speak of the devil? Were you talking about me up thread?

:o

[JohnKleeb]

105. Uhh not me specifically

but el herko grande.

[RevolutionaryActs]

117. I just read the thread.

All that talk about booze and my name wasn't ever mentioned, I'm disappointed. :evilfrown:

[JohnKleeb]

119. I only call guys out on being drunkards

It's down right improper to call a girl out on that, don't you think? Not that I have room to talk though about drunkardness though I can't remember when I last drank.

[RevolutionaryActs]

121. I suppose you have a point.

You're such a gentleman. :P

[JohnKleeb]

125. That's a first

:rofl:

[ZombieNixon]

123. Well, do you have any to share?

:evilgrin:

If not, why not?
:evilfrown:

[RevolutionaryActs]

128. I have vodka

a little bit of whiskey, and about a shot of tequila. Take your pick. :P

[ZombieNixon]

129. What kind of whiskey?

All I have is some really old Kahlua. :(

[RevolutionaryActs]

133. Mcnaughtons(sp?)

It's cheap, but it taste pretty good if you mix it with something. :P


You will have to work for it though, I need a back rub after my 11 hour shift at work. So get to it boy. :P

[ZombieNixon]

136. Ooh, I'm good at those!

:D

[RevolutionaryActs]

138. Yay!!

:bounce:

Do you know that the place I work has been open for a year, and I've been there since the very first day, and today was the busiest day.. ever. I mean ever. OMG, it was insane. :o

[ZombieNixon]

141. That's good, though.

It means it's doing well, so they might soon be able to give you a raise! :bounce:

[RevolutionaryActs]

142. That's what I'm hoping.

:woohoo:

[ZombieNixon]

144. I got a raise at my last job

for taking a food safety test! That was a good day! :D But I still hated that job. x(

[JohnKleeb]

145. food safety test?

yes, I'd like to try your desserts.

[ZombieNixon]

146. It was all common sense stuff like

"don't store the meat at temperatures over 40° F"

Easy.

[RevolutionaryActs]

147. I've gotten two raises since I started this job.

One right after we opened because I went from part time to full time, so I got a dollar raise. Then at the end of last summer I got another little raise.

[JohnKleeb]

149. do you know whats pathetic?

I haven't had a job in nearly a year.

[RevolutionaryActs]

150. Dude, don't you need money and stuff?

:shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

153. I do

and I nearly got a job at Barnes and Noble over the winter but the bastards didn't hire me, I am the worst interviewee ever :banghead: I thought I had the job too.

[RevolutionaryActs]

155. Aww.

You'll find something herky, I'm sure. :P

[ZombieNixon]

152. I need a job.

:(

I wish I could get work-study or something, but those things are hard to find.

[RevolutionaryActs]

154. Aww.

You'll find something herky, I'm sure. ;)

[ZombieNixon]

156. I wish I could get paid for making up words!

:D

I'd be awesome!

That or herking.

:hide:

[RevolutionaryActs]

157. ...

It is possible to be paid for herking... you do know that, right?




:yoiks:

[ZombieNixon]

158. Please, I have some standards.

:eyes:

I didn't mean herking in the same sense as your dirty mind. :P

[JohnKleeb]

159. Apply for a job as the president's speechwriter

misunderstimate, terra.

[ZombieNixon]

160. Eew...I wanna make up cool words

like "herk."

:P

[JohnKleeb]

161. yeah and I think having to see Karl Rove w/o his makeup

would give one a heart attack.

[ZombieNixon]

163. Naah, I think that would be OK...I've been to Renaissance Fairs, after all

[JohnKleeb]

165. Yeah but what if he sang

"Total Eclipse of hte Heart" to you, Every now and then Karl Rove gets a little bit lonely.

[ZombieNixon]

166. Meep!

:scared:

[JohnKleeb]

169. or having to comb John Bolton's stache

while Bolton sings.

[ZombieNixon]

I though we already established that I *didn't* want this job.

:eyes:

:P

[JohnKleeb]

172. Fine give it to your college young republican's president

I am sure they'll love it.

[ZombieNixon]

173. I don't know if even he deserves it.

:scared:

No, wait—yeah, he does. }(

[JohnKleeb]

174. Hey if he thinks Bush-Cheney is so great, maybe he shouild live it

Hunting with Dick Cheney, being a pit bull in heels with Harriet Miers, spying with Gonzales, ruining alliances with Karen Hughes,

[ZombieNixon]

175. Hunting with Dick Cheney.

:scared:

Just be sure to get Cheney good and sozzled before hand.

[JohnKleeb]

137. 11 hour shift?

:puke: I hope you're allowed to unionize.

[RevolutionaryActs]

140. We were insanely busy.

So I stayed late. At least I get time and a half when I stay late. :7

[JohnKleeb]

143. Thats good

Christ though 11 hours thats a lot, I remember when my dad worked at the restaurants and didnt work that long.

[RevolutionaryActs]

148. Well we're short handed.

That's how it goes.

[JohnKleeb]

151. Yeah but 11 hours is long

I had a fit when Giant made me work 8 hours.

[JohnKleeb]

131. I'll take uhh the vodka

I have some uhh cranberry juice to mix it up with yeah.

[RevolutionaryActs]

134. with a twist of lime, yummy.

:9

[SmileyBoy]

162. Don't you have homework to do??

:evilgrin:

[JohnKleeb]

164. I am putting it off until tommorow

Gonna do my self eval of my speech as soon as I wake up.

[SmileyBoy]

168. So am I.

:evilgrin:

I have to create a metal sculpture out of aluminum L-beams, mesh screen door and flourescent light casing tomorrow.:(

[dajoki]

167. Why is * still in office?

:wtf:

[JohnKleeb]

171. because we don't have a democratic majority in congress yet

barring that because people couldn't see how much more presidential Kerry was than Bush.

[dajoki]

176. I'll accept that answer

:toast:

[JohnKleeb]

177. We should have elected Kerry two years ago

I still don't know how anyone could have voted Bush over Kerry in any good conscious and I try to see things from all sides.

[dajoki]

178. Yes, and we DID vote Gore in...

in 2000, but was stolen from us.

[JohnKleeb]

179. that too

Stupid Nader for promoting that the two parties were two peas in a pod, he and his supporters by and large aren't impacted personally by Bush policy.

[dajoki]

180. I still wonder...

how much he got paid by Bushco to run.

[JohnKleeb]

181. I don't know, I've never been to his house

It's dishonest bullcrap honestly that he promotes. If the Greens were ever to get to elected offices in Congress and governorships, they would have the same corrupt qualities that republicans and democrats alike will have and the integrity that some have. As I see it the old saying is true power does corrupt however it also can be used for good. I think the Greens are so self righteous for actually believing that they would be perfect if they ever got the presidency is bs at its finest.

[dajoki]

182. Nader had his day...

but you are correct, I think he was blinded by delusions of grandeur and power.

[JohnKleeb]

184. He did a lot of good things I realize but he fucked up

Anyone liberal, conservative, democrat, republican can be ruined by power. There's a saying that I like by Harry Truman, three things can ruin a man, power, money, and women, I never wanted power, I didn't have much money, and the only woman in my life is in the house now.

[dajoki]

189. same goes for me...

"I never wanted power, I didn't have much money, and the only woman in my life is in the house now."

[JohnKleeb]

190. That was it yeah

Love, love that quote.

[Ava]

170. this thread is too long and confusing for me to follow now

:(

[NNadir]

183. I am interested in understanding the void fraction of packed spherical

resin balls, and the pressure drop across a packed column having a length L with said void fraction. Ergun derived an equation in 1952 and reported it in Chem. Eng. Prog. 48 89-94 (1952). The viscosity of seawater is an included parameter for my purposes.

Can you explain the equation therein described to me?

[JohnKleeb]

185. Huh what did you say?

I dont know.

[NNadir]

186. OK, but at least I asked you something.

You didn't ask us to ask you something about which you know.

[JohnKleeb]

187. True enough
