It's gone way past 1000 so it's time for a new one and the 1000'th poster never did so I am.

Previous thread XXI

Ask away!
 
Hey now, you can't continue Quackers' bad form. You gotta have links to all the other old threads, particularly because Quackers was a lazy chump who didn't include them so your link goes to his and no where else.

Question:
Why do Quackers and rugbyLEAGUEfan hate CFC tradition?
 
Well I can't find all the old threads. If someone can help me with that and PM them to me I'll add them in
 
There's over 20 threads. Why would we need links to all of them? Even Flying Pig only linked to the previous thread.
 
Well I be wrong, they never listed all the old threads for the question thread repeats, they just listed to the last one.

Question: Why Hobbs be so dumb?

Because they do it for rants/raves/music threads?

You really don't want to see what a terrible new thread I'd have started. Create links? WTH? I've got no idea.
 
<nvm - I've just repeated what everyone else has said about previous threads>
 
Oh now. That's just unkind. Poor old Mr E.

(There might be a little bit of truth in it, though. Where is the man? I miss his crazy ways, and ability to wind people up. A real master.)
 
I think that may be the first time I saw everyone else agree that whatever I did would be better
 
Well, it's a community. That's how they work. They tell me. Storming, forming and norming. Or some such babble.
 
Not a clue. Dunno.
The 'powder' on the wings of moths and butterflies is really a layer of many, colored scales, which overlap each other almost, like the tiles on a roof. If you touch the wings with finger the "powder" is rubbed off, leaving the wing more or less transparent and colorless.

The scales are generally like the shape of a hand tapered off at the wrist, and the whole surface is often grooved or cross-grooved. They are really hollow bags growing from tiny cup joints formed in the outer skin of the wings membranes.

They are either filled with coloring materials, or so minutely grooved and surfaced that they refract light to give off an iridescent color, even though they contain no pigment. The brown, red yellow, white or black scales are pigmented. The blues and greens are iridescent.

Many male butterflies and moths have specially shaped "scent-scales" (androconia). These are long and feather-like or broad and bat-shaped. They contain glands for making scents, which attract the females.

I keep hearing about how sourdough is awesome. What's the taste like? Is the texture different?

Oh, and do electric companies do preventive maintenance during heavy snowfall? Or do they just react to any outages?
 
Sourdough bread tends to be more.. concentrated. It's nothing like the soft wonderbread like crap people eat. Traditional Polish rye bread is a bit soury for example - it's got a far less fluffy inside and a crunchy and blackened outside, smothered in flour. Awesome

I think most rye breads use sourdough to some extent but I could be wrong

The stuff's great just slightly heated up or toasted, with butter.. or add cheese and salami..
 
Sour dough is excellent. I had it for the first time two days ago at the Salvation Army. Like Warpus says, it's AMAZING with cheese and salami, or butter. It really blends well.

I don't know. I can't see why he'd want to become King. Nor do I understand why the Queen doesn't abdicate in his favour like Beatrix of the Netherlands. Or maybe the plan is to bypass him in favour of his son, in the end.

Who knows?

Apparently her life experiences have led her to abhor any notion of abdication. I can't remember where I heard it, but she views being queen as her duty and abdication as dereliction of that duty.

Right. That would be that whole Edward and Mrs Simpson legacy?

Peck of Arabia said:
Yeah, you can imagine it being pretty impressionable stuff for a 10 year old.

From a constitutional point of view, too, abdication just isn't the done thing here, whereas in the Netherlands in the 20th century at least, it's fairly commonplace; Beatrix inherited when her mother abdicated and her mother inherited when her mother abdicated. It's just the done thing.

Maybe it is better to change monarchs more often now they're all pretty much guaranteed to live a long time, but I like Queenie, and given its practically a ceremonial position, does it really matter how old she is?

Yeah, I've read that Lizzie is very much under the impression that it's a 'job for life' thing.
 
Why do I find video game music to be better than the music my generation listens to, i.e. love songs and "gangsta swag"?
