| TheRandomVoid: | I still don\'t completely understand it, but one of my goals for this year is to understand special relativity and make serious money in the stock market |
| jasond: | well, yeah, *that* one was a gimme... :p |
| MJS: | geez |
| TheRandomVoid: | You can google his paper. \"On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies\" on google and find a translated copy |
| TheRandomVoid: | the speed of light is constant relative to all observers, but time practically stops for the guy on the truck. Also the truck\'s mass approaches infinity and the length of the truck shortens according to Einsteins Special theory of relativity |
| TheRandomVoid: | also the man on the truck sees the light leaving his flashlight at 3*10^8 meters per second squared. |
| TheRandomVoid: | The cool thing about this problem is that the light travels the same speed relative to all observers. So the man on the side of the road sees the light going roughly 3*10^8 meters per second |
| TheRandomVoid: | The truck is moving to the left at the close to the speed of light. The light is emanating from a flashlight connected to the truck in the opposite direction of the truck. |
| R1chy6: | frissbee golf at highland part between 6-6:30 |
| MJS: | wait, is the truck traveling to the left? In that case the light would be stationary and decaying with time??? |
| MJS: | its a newcomers club XOM event |
| MJS: | yes, tiki saturday 9am be there |
| MJS: | cause you cant go faster unless you got something cool |
| MJS: | i say its still the speed of light |
| MJS: | lol lightspeed activatedddddddddddd whooo! |
| StephenP: | that\'s a fast truck |

| mew: | tiki tomorrow? |
| COW: | 2000 |
| COW: | jason: in that scenario the bullet is going 4000 km/h to an observer on the Earth and 200 km/h to you. |
| COW: | ah, true. The bullet appears to be going 4000 km/h from you, not an observer. |
| MJS: | tiki saturday 9am |
| mew: | http://brno.neofillstore.com/intro/brno/index.php?index_type=promo-detail&pid=16137 sale sale! |
| mew: | tiki tiki??? |
| jasond: | what would happen if the train were going the opposite way? |
| MJS: | i cant believe you messed that up....and soon you\'ll be Piled Higher and Deeper |
| MJS: | I disagree: The bullet travels away from you at 2000km/h so it\'s net velocity is zero relative to a stationary observer, and thusly the bullet travels away from you at 2000km/h/ |
| COW: | Easy. The bullet travels away from you at 2000 km/h. To an outside observer, the distance between you and the bullet is increasing at 4000 km/h. |

| MJS: | MondayJuly 12, 2010 |
| MJS: | SundayTM |
| MJS: | Saturday ® |
| mew: | we should plan for tikki-ing in early august! |
| StephenP: | Friday |
| MJS: | also, it has a legit XP license on a sticker on the machine that I am going to use |
| MJS: | and remember recently upgraded it with a 120gb HD |
| MJS: | probably sell it with the dock and bag for $100 |
| MJS: | its good enough to play COD2, and of course, it does the email and the interwebs |
| MJS: | i am reformatting and putting a fresh copy of win xp on my old laptop if anyone is interested |
| MJS: | happy FoJ |
| MJS: | its certainly a possibility |
| mew: | no tiki tiki this weekend, delia and i are dress shopping, how about next weekend? |
| MJS: | lol @ your engrish. I was at LSU today talking to the Engr dean and chairs about XOM-LSU interface - and then I went home early = sweet |
| MJS: | we should go this weekend |
| mew: | naa,but I think a group tikking would be fun. |
| COW: | ahhh, engrish. makes life funner everyday |
| COW: | ahhh LAN parties. I remember doing them outside at Matt\'s old house in Central. And I remember that tiny road making with a steep ditch right next to it. |
| MJS: | are you sure you don\'t work for tiki tubing? |
| mew: | err only reduces it to 30$ for two |
| mew: | http://brno.neofillstore.com/intro/brno/index.php?index_type=promo-detail&pid=16043 and enter promo code \"summer\" at checkout to only pay $15 for two passes |
| StephenP: | we could alternate mw2 players |
| StephenP: | bring lan party gear and wiimotes and guitar hero stuff |
| MJS: | im an anticipating being at this bar becue |
| MJS: | so therefore I think my next CODMW2 name will be [lol] Alfor |
| MJS: | Olpar = Olefins + Paraffins, Alfor = Aldehydes + Alcohols + Formates |
| MJS: | OMGWTFBBQ! |
| StephenP: | BBQ / games at my house Saturday, 5 p.m. I also invited Nick |
| MJS: | pwnin |
| MJS: | Jacket on, Jacket off, Put it on the ground, Hang it up |
| mustangdriver: | I love it when a plans comes together!!! |
| StephenP: | Now you know, and knowing is half the battle |
| MJS: | If you inject water into the well, you should form hydrates with the methane and eventually clog up the internals of the BOP. |
| MJS: | lol@ |
| jasond: | because you dont want costners invention to sell? |
| MJS: | Anybody know why I suggest that? |
| MJS: | I know how to stop the oil leak: Inject H2O though the kill line. |
| MJS: | obama is retarded |
| TheRandomVoid: | Went to N.O. yesterday. Delia bought the perfect dress. |
| MJS: | A-Team wasnt half bad at all, in fact, I would recommend it |
| MJS: | hey! |
| MJS: | heaaaaaaaaccccccckkk aaaaaaaachchchctivaaaatedddddd |
| StephenP: | saturday is better |
| TheRandomVoid: | what aboout saturday |
| StephenP: | Friday is iffy for me as well |
| jasond: | i probably have to coach friday. our game got rained out tonight, so it\'s likely moved til fri. |
| TheRandomVoid: | is anyone available on friday? |
| MJS: | i have other plans on friday |
| TheRandomVoid: | How about LAN party at delia\'s on Friday@5. If u need directions txt me and I\'ll txt u the address |
| StephenP: | look up and you\'ll probablyyy, find cribbs incorporated qualityyyy |
| StephenP: | I\'d be up for that |
| TheRandomVoid: | If y\'all wanna do it again next weekend. Delia\'s parents agreed to let us use their house. Plenty of space. |
| TheRandomVoid: | That was a fun lan party. Thanks Stephen |
| TheRandomVoid: | am recommending ut2004 and cod2 |
| TheRandomVoid: | I have copies of COD 2, 1, 4, and ut tournament 2004 lan version along with quake 4. All relics from a time when we used to play lan parties |
| StephenP: | Wherever, somewheres in central I guess |
| jasond: | sounds like a winner |
| MJS: | where we eaten |
| StephenP: | If you want you can set up in the living room and have the game on in the background |
| jasond: | I can bring a full-size folding table, if it would be beneficial. LSU vs. UCLA regional game is Saturday @ 8, so I may jet early. |
| StephenP: | I have four personal folding tables, dining chairs, my desk, etc. Spill-over may have to improvise with couches and books, but I can now comfortably accomodate 5-6 players, unlike last time |
| StephenP: | nevermind, wouldn\'t be possible. COD1 it is, plus if you have any other games. |
| StephenP: | I can try to find a pirate copy of it for private matches. Otherwise, COD1 will work. If we get bored of that there\'s always guitar hero. Yall bring your spare wiimotes and guitars |
| TheRandomVoid: | halflife 2 deathmatch on steam is only five bucks as a good alternative game for multiplay |
| TheRandomVoid: | cod1 sounds good and I think i have some of my old lan discs |
| TheRandomVoid: | Me and Delia aren\'t gonna have the new cod for the lan party tomorrow. It\'d be 150 for both of us to have the game and I just don\'t want to spend that kind of money for a game we\'re not goinig to play that much |
| StephenP: | I\'m getting a set of personal folding tables |
| StephenP: | LAN party, saturday, june 5, 5 p.m., my house. I\'ll make sure there is seating for everyone |
| StephenP: | I have successfully pirated and installed COD1 |
| StephenP: | What\'s the plan tomorrow |
| mew: | http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/experts_propose_plugging_oil_leak_with_bp_executives_20100530/ |
| mew: | http://www.freewebs.com/matthewstolte/Oil_Spill!_by_Berger.jpg |
| MJS: | yeah there pricing almost seems to depend on you having a coupon |
| StephenP: | And coupons like \"if you buy one tube, we\'ll let you pay for a second one!\" |
| StephenP: | No tiki tubing for me. I think I\'ll boycott them because of their price gouging, |
| MJS: | fuddy duddy |
| mew: | ...on this Saturday? |
| mew: | Tikki Tikki Tubing?! |
| StephenP: | I can search for a pirate copy of COD1. I don\'t think I have it anymore either |
| jasond: | my comps are good enough to run cod1 and ut, but i think i uninstalled them. also, my place is open too if yall want to play there. it\'s on millerville so it\'s midway to everyone, but im ok going to central or so br. |
| StephenP: | But, if we stick to old COD1, I only need to bring my laptop |
| StephenP: | MW2 would work fine at my house, but we\'d have to move the comps and router to the dining room. It\'d be easy w/ help |
| mew: | who\'s up for tiki tubing this saturday morning? |
| TheRandomVoid: | COD and UT sound like good options. I\'d buy MW2 but if the connection is slow it wouldn\'t be terribly fun |
| StephenP: | But if we just play regular pirated COD1, it won\'t matter where we are as long as there\'s a router. It doesn\'t connect to the internet for private matches like MW2 does. |
| StephenP: | They use wireless there. I can tell you that I have to make my connection direct and strong in order to connect to their party because of their weak connection. I always have to be the host to carry their connection |
| MJS: | not sure....they always just show the more bars in more places icon on the pc version |
| TheRandomVoid: | what kind of ping do y\'all get at your house for cod mw2? |
| StephenP: | Non-MW2 games would work there |
| mew: | http://www.bargainbee.com/recent_deals.php interesting |
| mew: | http://www.bargainbee.com/index.php enter your email for todays tiki deal |
| mustangdriver: | We can have one here. |
| StephenP: | Yeah, yall could come here again for COD MW2. We play that almost exclusively but I wouldn\'t be opposed to a pirated game of old COD or UT non-online |
| TheRandomVoid: | Do y\'all do lan parties anymore? If so what games do y\'all do? |
| StephenP: | Jenna says that\'s a good place, holds about 50-70 people inside |
| TheRandomVoid: | Looks like me and delia are getting married at the lakehouse. Probably summer 2011 |
| StephenP: | Parents\' lake property is great. Can wade out waste deep with a shiner on the hook and catch some bass |
| mew: | http://brno.neofillstore.com/intro/brno/index.php?index_type=promo-detail&pid=16051 tikki tubing!!!! cheap tickets!!! |
| TheRandomVoid: | i will be in town next weekend too |
| MJS: | i will be in Austin this weekend, but in town next |
| TheRandomVoid: | for a few weeks. Been playing codmw2 with delia on the ps3 |
| StephenP: | for how long? I\'m going to Keystone to visit my parents this weekend but will be back next week |
| MJS: | whaat |
| TheRandomVoid: | Hmmm, tim\'s in baton rouge. |
| MJS: | heeeeyyyyy says [lol] Aldehyde whence being successfully added to the game |
| TheRandomVoid: | Other great steam games include: Half life 2, half life 2 episode 1, and half life 2 episode 2 |
| MJS: | yeah I think Iplayed through it before after some previous TDK urgings |
| TheRandomVoid: | Portal is great |
| StephenP: | also, I became addicted to Portal yesterday and made it to level 19, which seems like it\'s the last level since it tried to incinerate me. Guess I\'ll figure that one out today. |
| StephenP: | yep that\'s me |
| COW: | are you lol aldehyde? and is stephen ItsAGame? |
| MJS: | thats cool...I see your name as ATF COW |
| COW: | apparently, my screen name is uddernonsense. that must\'ve been created years ago, lol |
| MJS: | be there |
| MJS: | pownage 2night |
| MJS: | cow and randomvoid should both have friend invites waiting from me under community I think |
| TheRandomVoid: | If y\'all have steam accounts, my s/n is Therandomvoid |
| TheRandomVoid: | Wow, if y\'all haven\'t tried Portal, its a great game! Very fun and addicting puzzle game. |
| MJS: | turned what is was into somethin so disgustin even wild dogs would disregard the bones |
| COW: | I think it\'s fun. And it\'s free until the 24th, so grab it while it\'s hot. |
| StephenP: | That game looks hard |
| COW: | http://store.steampowered.com/freeportal/ |
| COW: | porbably everyone here already has it, but if they don\'t ... |
| MJS: | nice, yeah CODMW2 is fun |
| TheRandomVoid: | I\'m planning on getting a $3600 alienware laptop after I get a semi-permanent address to mail it to. |
| TheRandomVoid: | Y\'all playing CODMW2? I just got that game about a month and a half ago for the PS3. badass game though. |
| MJS: | noob pownin at ~730 |
| COW: | you nubbing pwns? |
| MJS: | i make a rhyme every time |
| MJS: | we haven\'t been on but about to pwn |
| COW: | steam? add me! djrecspecz_at_cox_dot_net |
| StephenP: | whereve yall beeen on steaaam |
| COW: | new google sucks. now it looks exactly like Bing and every other search engine. LOSERS!!! |
| COW: | i hope everyone\'s cisco due mayonaise went well |
| MJS: | only about 15hrs till no more pecan grove |
| MJS: | iam still most effective with my UMP |
| MJS: | I still dont like the scar because of reloading so often |
| MJS: | lol |
| StephenP: | Just from camping though |
| StephenP: | I got my second hacker accusation ever last night. I happened to get 10 kills before dying once |
| StephenP: | Both the TAR and SCAR have the same damage per shot, but the TAR has a higher rate of fire and the SCAR is more accurate at long range. |
| StephenP: | And a class for the TAR-21 and/or one for the SCAR-H. |
| StephenP: | When you unlock AUG HBAR (under light machine guns), I recommend making a class for that |
| StephenP: | What is your current gun of choice, Matt? |
| StephenP: | Domination pwnage |
| MJS: | bring it on |
| mustangdriver: | I am going to pw n yall tonight |
| MJS: | L18 |
| MJS: | gg |
| MJS: | donald is ponin |
| StephenP: | Jason confirmed Friday attendance |
| StephenP: | Jason might join us Saturday if yall come over |
| MJS: | gonna play in a few minutes |
| MJS: | L9 |
| MJS: | dh is gonna get pnwed like MyLittlePwny |
| StephenP: | cool |
| MJS: | probably in the afternoon, ill get my mowing done in the am |
| StephenP: | cool, what time you coming over |
| MJS: | i just played CODMW2 single player with all the video settings up - its nice |
| MJS: | alright, well i got the soft installed, just need to give it the key |
| StephenP: | Yeah, I have the LSU copy that has a universal serial number |
| MJS: | so with all that going on, its actually decent at 2.5hrs |
| MJS: | by the way, stephen, do you have a spare MSO2007 license? it seems that I never left it anywhere for me to find |
| MJS: | time to see what the battery life is...although I am testing it with CODMW2 downloading and pandora playing |
| MJS: | got my laptop...damn i didnt realize how huge 17\" laptops are |
| MJS: | reine on the radaaar |
| mew: | last time when we went with that coupon hardly anyone was there so we were able to choose any floatie |
| StephenP: | Yeah I don\'t like the bubba yachts, and I bet the coupon exists because they are unpopular |
| StephenP: | So if they are reattempting delivery tomorrow, you should leave a note in the morning |
| StephenP: | Lol, stupid old fedex. I did learn something about that though. If you leave a signed note on your door, that says you authorize fedex to leave the package by the door, they will leave it there. |
| MJS: | i can buy normal tubes without a coupon for that price |
| MJS: | what? thats not really a good deal - it gets you two bubba yachts |
| MJS: | fedex tries to deliver the laptop to me at noon...so I wont get it until saturday when I am there at that time |
| mew: | ^--- tiki tubing half price! |
| mew: | http://brno.neofillstore.com/intro/brno/index.php?index_type=promo-detail&pid=14664 |
| MJS: | dh said hes gonna start dipping this weekend too |
| jasond: | typical nascar fan...can\'t even spell your favorite driver... you got good seats? |
| mustangdriver: | no i really love Joe Nemocheck |
| MJS: | nahh not really, just insisting that DH loves his Greg Biffle Jr. |
| jasond: | was that a fat joke? |
| MJS: | apparently he is a huge NASCAR fan |
| jasond: | nascar? I didn\'t know you were from livingston parish, dh |
| StephenP: | you\'re welcome to drop by and I can show you the optimal weapon setups |
| MJS: | *TALLADEGA |
| MJS: | unfortunately this weekend DH is going to TALLEDEGA®, so he wont be around - I\'ll probably go on and buy the game though and try it out |
| StephenP: | Anyone else with the game (and computer to run it) is welcome to come too. Or else just come over for beer |
| StephenP: | I can move my desktop to the dining room for optimal team communication |
| StephenP: | I\'m level 40, after reaching level 70 and starting over in prestige mode |
| StephenP: | awesome, yall should come over Friday or Saturday for a super long COD-athon |
| MJS: | my lappy is to arrive this thursday - you were right stephen |
| mustangdriver: | Matt you ready to get pwnd by bigdaddy? |
| MJS: | sweet |
| StephenP: | Dell usually overestimates processing time so it will probably ship in a week |
| MJS: | unfortunately the est ship date is cinco de mayo |
| MJS: | hey with a laptop thats no-hassle |
| StephenP: | And yall will have to come here for an in-person lan party since I have a desktop |
| StephenP: | yays, now buy call of doodie |
| MJS: | i see you lurking dh |
| MJS: | got the i7 and 1gb radeon 17\" studio, built in bluetooth, etc |
| MJS: | DUDE ORDERED MY LAPTOP AND FORGOT TO TURN OFF CAPS LOCK!!!!111 |
| mew: | i propose tiki tubing in the near future |
| mew: | I just travelled around the world ;) |
| mew: | eh, 80? |
| mustangdriver: | yall excited about having lan parties when matt gets his new lapotop. i cant wait to pwn some noobs |
| MJS: | family day at the plant then we are workin on the flip |
| StephenP: | Saturday plans? |
| MJS: | *Lurk |
| MJS: | Kurk |
| MJS: | here comes some rain |
| MJS: | mew - Its been 80days. |
| MJS: | NO SPIN ZONE! |
| MJS: | i knew that was the case because C6 amount was equal to C8 amount and there was none of either in the feed |
| MJS: | that was fun run..,the product has $8/lb margin and I was converting like 8% of it to waste in some weird 2 C7 --> C14 --> C6 + C8 reaction |
| MJS: | or instead of \"worst yield in years on expensive grade\" i put \"elucidated unknown dimer back-cracking reaction, documented learning for future yield improvement\" |
| MJS: | for instance, instead of \"chemical cleaning totally failed\" i put \"identified opportunities for improvement in chemical cleaning\" |
| MJS: | nice, its a pain to do, but i know it pays off to take the time to make everything sound good |
| StephenP: | Aghh, that reminds me I need to do my performance journal-- it\'s a nice time to do it since we were just awarded that giant contract I did the proposal for back in July/Aug. |
| MJS: | did it in two pages |
| MJS: | dude filling out our yearly assessment form is difficult - its tough to capture everything notable that you did in a year in 1 page |
| StephenP: | Cooooollll |
| MJS: | still wiating on that prepaid visa that some of those rewards are on, then Im gonna buy a dell |
| jasond: | i was just messing around. i only play when i go visit my brother, and not for very long. |
| MJS: | damn progression must be relatively fast |
| StephenP: | What\'s your steam name |
| StephenP: | how often do you play? I generally do upwards of 2 hrs per day for the past month or so |
| jasond: | You haven\'t prestiged yet? I\'m on my 3rd. Apparently, I have less of a life than you. |
| StephenP: | (note: Level 70 is the highest, after which you have the option to \"prestige,\" or start over with the default weapons and perks. Prestiging gives you small rewards like icons and such) |
| StephenP: | Awesome. I\'m almost level 70 in COD MW2. Not sure if I\'m going to prestige or not. |
| mew: | http://www.slashfood.com/2010/03/25/lsu-chancellor-proposes-on-campus-brewery/?icid=main after you guys leave... heh |
| MJS: | got about $645 in french benefits from four different awards/prizes combined from Oct 2009-Now and im going to put them all towards the laptop |
| MJS: | CatLifeTM |
| MJS: | thanks! exxon gave my cat life team an award today so, I think I might be going with a gaming laptop |
| StephenP: | Happy birthday indeed |
| mew: | Happy Birthday Matt! FB alerted me. |
| MJS: | zapps was fun this year - and I had the times wrong - its 2.5hrs 3:30-6 |
| MJS: | usually sells out by 3:00 |
| MJS: | i\'ll be serving at the redstick brewmasters tent today at Zapps Beerfest at the Rural Life Museum - cost is $30 to get in, starts at 3:30 |
| MJS: | yeah, I think so |
| jasond: | 1st in females overall? Nice! Her time was somewhere around 18 mins? |
| MJS: | my cousin lindsey finished 1st of females |
| MJS: | I walked a good bit, so the first part when i was running my pace must have been decent |
| MJS: | met my goal - 35:41 finish 345th out of males, 20th in my age group (20-24) |
| jasond: | what\'s the solution? tranq gun? |
| StephenP: | Pretty rough night. Hard to sleep with all those wires and tubes hooked to you, but they got enough data to make a diagnosis. Sleep apnea |
| StephenP: | lol, more like I pay for it.. or the insurance company, rather |
| MJS: | sounds like we could have an offer on the flip by the end of the weekend and hopefully truly THE last weekend of work on it |
| MJS: | my goal is to finish in less than 40 minutes |
| MJS: | fatboy is tomorrow, the organizers gave me a piece of an old mans birthday cake when i picked up my shirt and number |
| MJS: | daaaaang you get paid for dat? |
| StephenP: | i have a sleep study tonight |
| LilGotro: | .............. |
| MJS: | Donald\'s gonna outbeat us for making fun of his gf |
| jasond: | none of the other dogs you\'ve ever met have come close to outbeating her? |
| LilGotro: | Maple is just too funny and adorable. No dog can outbeat her, but this puppy sure does come cloes to the adorable part. |
| LilGotro: | b/c she is a golden retriever and lab mix and her name is carmen and is too adorable! They have a video of her too!!!!!!!! |
| MJS: | besides maple? how is that possible>> |
| LilGotro: | I found the cutest puppy ever (beside maple) and I am tempted to bring her home and force my parents to keep her! |
| StephenP: | yyays |
| MJS: | its is listed! |
| MJS: | dude flip that house |
| COW: | this newfangled thing called eBay is addicting. |
| MJS: | Turner kept bringing in crappy equipment |
| MJS: | my chemical cleaning operation has been an epic fail - until 6pm tonight when we finally put in the acid after over 24hrs of delays |
| MJS: | !wem |
| mew: | mew see! |
| MJS: | no shortest combined time for a team |
| mew: | so you\'re aiming for the longest time? |
| MJS: | mew, the concept is that you can form a team of over 650lbs, and all members of the team\'s times will be added together |
| mew: | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHWPmxdma-Q |
| mew: | I don\'t get it. |
| MJS: | me and some of my work friends are going to do a total weight team for the fatboy 4 * 180 = 720lbs |
| mew: | i liked the ellipticals at the uni of iowa... major uphillage on them |
| MJS: | and no, we dont have sidewalks |
| MJS: | yeah but the sidewalks dont have tvs |
| jasond: | doesn\'t your neighborhood have sidewalks? |
| MJS: | wow going from elliptical to treadmill = not as ready to run as I thought i was |
| MJS: | merrhhh |

| mew: | I\'m still on my way home to BR. Icy roads are evil! |
| jasond: | how do you delete funpics? |
| MJS: | cool, i am probably try to buy a laptop that does the games soon |
| StephenP: | quad core Pentium i5, 8GB ram, 1TB hard drive, blu-ray burner, and a sort of awesome but not bleeding edge graphics card |
| StephenP: | I preemptively assembled a new desktop PC in anticipation of my refund. It does the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 |
| MJS: | yay guitar |
| jasond: | aw, this is the first time i owe money on my taxes. lame. |
| MJS: | yay metairie |
| mew: | yay sappy romantic movies!!!! |
| MJS: | yay winter olympics |
| mew: | Maunday! =) |
| LilGotro: | when will you be in the br? |
| mew: | I\'m soooo tired. Packing and cleaning my place so it can be shown tomorrow and Saturday, and it\'s still freakin\' snowing! We already have like a foot of snow outside! |
| mew: | tiki tubing sale.... http://brno.neofillstore.com/intro/brno/index.php?index_type=category&cat_id=231&cat_name=Entertainment |
| MJS: | Snewwww on the radar |
| MJS: | target location for object & associated object |
| StephenP: | goal & point-scoring object |
| jasond: | no tournament for basketball, but tryouts are sat 9-12 |
| MJS: | lol @ sports object & ball |
| StephenP: | IEM people rent a spot w/ camper on the corner of 4th and laurel every year |
| jasond: | i\'m not sure if i can make it. the championship game for basketball is this saturday (although we might get eliminated before that). also, tryouts for my baseball team are saturday. |
| mew: | john and i are in whenever you guys wanna go I\'m not sure when they\'ll offer the tickets again. Probably soon though. |
| LilGotro: | hell yea!!!! I need to buy those discount tickets lol |
| MJS: | I think both myself and dh and kristin are going to go |
| mew: | When I caught the bus this morning it felt like -6. =( |
| mew: | hmm.... doesn\'t open until April |
| mew: | are you guys planning a tiki tubing trip anytime soon? |
| mew: | snowwy day today |
| StephenP: | 2009 Fed/State taxes filed |
| COW: | apparently, hell froze over. |
| mew: | ^------ Expected comment from an LA native. |
| mew: | SAINT WON - WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! |
| StephenP: | Anyone going to Spanish Town next saturday? |
| StephenP: | Yep, sounds like it |
| jasond: | chalk it up to unorganization? |
| jasond: | i\'m pretty sure i didn\'t, but i got an email from someone to come pick up my form |
| mew: | I got screwed over by some of the professors last semester. heh, I even had one prof apologize to me for how I was treated. So anyway, I\'m coming home! WHoo!!! |
| mew: | I\'ll be back in BR for good in ~1 week |
| mew: | UperOwl today! |
| MJS: | any of yall that want to come to the party tonight are welcome |
| MJS: | im pretty sure one year i completely ignored my TW w2 because i had already filed |
| StephenP: | Jason, you wrote for TW in 09? |
| jasond: | i\'ll be doing mine after i get my tdub w2 in the mail |
| jasond: | not worth it to fill out the amended return |
| MJS: | wtf mate |
| MJS: | and when I check my insurance, its paid in full |
| MJS: | i think my mortgage company made a mistake...they sent me a $1500 check from my escrow because the balance was too high, but on the statement it never shows them paying my hazard insurance |
| MJS: | i would argue that this is not a material difference that would warrant an amended return (major PITA) |
| MJS: | supposedly the IRS penalty for this is \"Backup witholding\" where they tell the brokerage to take witholding out of your future dividends |
| MJS: | unfortunately I just looked at my 1099 DIV section and realized that I forgot to report 42 dollars of dividend income....debating whether to submit an amended return to correct the $7 difference in the return...might call them and ask if its worth it |
| MJS: | lol at disorganized TW |
| StephenP: | Finally got the TW 1099s. I\'m glad this is the last year I have to deal with that shitty company. |
| MJS: | both returns filed - \'bout $5k in returns! gotta love mortgage interest deduction |
| MJS: | ghettoblaster |
| mew: | mew no homie! |
| MJS: | yo yo homie |
| mew: | mew? |
| mew: | http://www.poomail.com/poomail/index.html |

| MJS: | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HE9OQ4FnkQ also a great one - esp \"they\'re going to beat you up with that pipe wrench!\" |
| MJS: | agree, but link 1 is definitely a classic, and i had slight chortle whence i watched it 5/5 |
| mew: | =( |
| StephenP: | Second link, 1/5 |
| StephenP: | First link, 4/5 (minus 1 because it\'s old and has reached mainstream media) |
| mew: | and for this one... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2gOHBu8KNo |

| LilGotro: | This weather sucks!!!!! :( |
| jasond: | ur earl lee |
| MJS: | Wednesdat |
| MJS: | Monday |
| StephenP: | lol tigerdroppings fail |
| MJS: | thats why MJSco was designed from the ground up to auto delete the oldest posts |
| MJS: | lol |
| jasond: | The log file for database \'tigerdroppings\' is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to free up some log space. /rant/TopicView_DBProcess.asp, line 82 |
| MJS: | you need to contact the local indian tribe and let them know of this abomination! |
| COW: | we don\'t even have an \"indian mound\" like LSU did. |
| COW: | lol, it gets about that cold here, but the land is essentially flat |
| mew: | yep, and there\'s a slope across the street from where I live that people bring their kids to and go sledding |
| MJS: | theres snow on the ruff |
| StephenP: | how aboot that |

| mew: | now -13 and feels like -25... |
| MJS: | holy crap thats cold...its only getting down to 19 here |
| mew: | currently -10 outside!!!! |
| MJS: | its 22 outside and feels like 8 |
| mew: | =( |
| mew: | it\'s 0 degrees outside and feels like -14... |
| mew: | pictures? |
| MJS: | show me how pretty the world is |
| mew: | the other day, the low was -9 F |
| MJS: | *snewww |
| COW: | snow |
| MJS: | damn global warming |
| MJS: | lol we are supposed to have a chance of snow this friday - 2nd time this year |
| COW: | here in champaign, the snow has melted into dense ice. |
| StephenP: | dry, powdery snow, painful cold |
| StephenP: | back from pittsburgh. It got down to 2 F, wind chill -3 |
| MJS: | wow what a great windchill |
| mew: | currently it\'s -5 here and feels like -19... =( |
| MJS: | just one car payment, and the reason savings ended up slight - is that i transferred it to Etrade |
| MJS: | brick? like a brick in the wall? |
| COW: | apparently, netgear routers make good bricks when firmware upgrade goes bad. |
| jasond: | 2 car payments? regular savings went down so exxon savings could go up? i could be reading wrong. |
| MJS: | 2009 Yearly Stewardship - lots of dispositions |
| MJS: | jackhammer is highly effective at turning ceramic tile into little tiny pieces |
| MJS: | alright |
| COW: | my cellphone# is the same, and it\'s charged now. i\'ll call you tomorrow matt |
| COW: | then dinner it is. what hour is best for everyone? 6pm? 7pm? later? earlier? |
| MJS: | either is fine for me, but more people could probably make a dinner |
| COW: | what time is good? lunch or dinner? |
| COW: | chimes would be good on the 28th. |
| MJS: | FYI - MJSco has been extended for 2 more years on the domain and 1 year on the hosting |
| MJS: | Snewww on the radar |
| MJS: | ill be in town and i am off on the 28th/29th maybe a few of us can get together for chimes or something |
| StephenP: | damn, I\'m flying to pittsburgh tomorrow evening |
| COW: | Bonne Christmeusse |
| COW: | anyone up for hanging out or board games or anything? |
| COW: | on another note, I\'m in town with my girlfriend visiting until the 30th |
| COW: | seriously... how many types of mini-usb interfaces are there? |
| COW: | My #1 complaint about cellphones: propeitary chargers. |
| MJS: | Merry Christmas to all |
| MJS: | its looking like i have a chance to win my ffb league |
| MJS: | dude i get to work like 4 days in a row at the flip house! |

| StephenP: | http://news.google.com/news/more?um=1&cf=all&ned=us&source=hp&cf=all&ncl=dWfdg1w25adFdyM2QyXyP9wwLBxhM |
| MJS: | i havent seen the story |
| StephenP: | But I\'d move there otherwise. It\'s pretty clear that any career advancement beyond this point will involve leaving Louisiana, whether it\'s business development/communication in another company or advancement at IEM |
| StephenP: | I support the move whole-heartedly. I\'m fortunate that our department has to stay here, simply because of the timing (Jenna in school) |
| COW: | But, I can\'t blame IEM for it\'s desire to move elsewhere. Louisiana and Baton Rouge should address the very infrastructure problems IEM pointed out. |
| COW: | Well, that sucks. |
| StephenP: | Yall see the news about IEM? |
| MJS: | in the final 4 |
| MJS: | well, just lashed my opponent 190-130 |
| jasond: | how\'s your season going? |
| MJS: | holy crap my fantasy team got 190pts this week |
| StephenP: | band hero is guitar hero but with more current/popular songs that aren\'t necessarily guitar-centric |
| MJS: | \"Cat in the wall?!?, now you\'re speakin\' my language, ehh!\" |
| MJS: | what is band hero |
| StephenP: | Reminder to bring wii-motes, guitar, and drums and mic. I rented Band Hero |
| StephenP: | Up to 9 |
| StephenP: | sweet, that\'s 8 people total so far. |
| jasond: | in |
| MJS: | alright |
| StephenP: | The funny gift would be good. I thought about mentioning a gag gift in the invite, but I didn\'t want everybody to bring one. |
| MJS: | Y\'all |
| MJS: | which would yall like |
| MJS: | for the dirty santa I have a choice of something practical, something funny/useful, and something that is ocaisionally useful |
| jasond: | i\'ll let you know for sure wednesday night |
| StephenP: | MJS and DH, plz bring guitar hero stuff and your wii-motes in case we play |
| mew: | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTegy6sBQVA eeeew! |
| mew: | it\'s bad to get stoked!!!! |
| mew: | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgXObaM9i2Q |
| mew: | that would be a lot of fun... I still have finals at the end of this week and the next and I\'ll be in NJ for christmas |
| StephenP: | Who would be up for a dirty santa party at my house on Saturday? I\'m gonna make a Facebook event thingy to see who\'d be interested. |
| MJS: | I got to enjoy the snow last night sitting in the Bulldog |
| MJS: | i slept on my tilted over half-broken bed last night - I think im going to go buy a new one today |
| COW: | and video camera? O.o |
| COW: | Is Chrome better than Safari in terms of memory management? |
| MJS: | yeah |
| jasond: | sweet |
| MJS: | dude |
| MJS: | sounds like i might have to get the album - bout time for some new music on the ipod |
| StephenP: | another sample of a song from Cake\'s upcoming album http://www.myxer.com/Ringtone:2690650/ |
| jasond: | took nothing, just left some stuff strewn about. took a gun from a neighbor\'s truck. |
| MJS: | i will probably do some cyber monday shopping |
| MJS: | Black Friday = pullin\' fence |
| mustangdriver: | nigga stole my car |
| StephenP: | What did he take? |
| jasond: | white male, med build, a little stockier than me, my height, wearing a knit cap pulled over his eyes |
| StephenP: | Was the thief ethnic |
| MJS: | *whoa |
| MJS: | who, well at least you got it on video |
| jasond: | might post the security video later |
| jasond: | car got broke into last night |
| jasond: | event got postponed today anyway. oh well. |
| MJS: | thats what i was thinking, but i wasnt sure |
| jasond: | just a celica |
| MJS: | ill be working on the house, but what kind of car do you have now, i forgot |

| StephenP: | republicans hated this episode I bet. |
| MJS: | 25-27/50 |
| MJS: | yeah it came back as mediocre |
| StephenP: | did you ever get the results of your october beer judging? |
| MJS: | brewed a beer today - its the third version of my Amber ale - this one is finally amber in color, also changed to a hop with more humulene |
| StephenP: | Preview of a song from Cake\'s new soon-to-be-released album: http://www.myxer.com/get/item/2215973 |
| mew: | http://www.thinkgeek.com/clearance/97fd/ |
| mew: | I\'m now 23, whooooo! |

| MJS: | hey donald im borrowing your work computer dock, its sweet |
| StephenP: | North Woods had tons as usual |
| MJS: | nahh, just some native africans running in front of my truck as I try to drive |
| jasond: | ha, filter |
| jasond: | major trick or treating in yall\'s neighborhoods? |
| StephenP: | Less of a memory hog. It does the Internet browsing and multi-tabs. Not much else |
| MJS: | i havent seen google chrome, does it do something different? |
| StephenP: | Google Chrome does not like MJSco at all. It doesn\'t let me scroll. All I can see is the blank to type a message at the top of the viewing area, down to the MJSco Pixelated Weather. |
| mew: | iowa is apparently doing quite well in futball! |
| MJS: | killed those war eagle plainsmen tigers |
| MJS: | Geaux Tigers |
| MJS: | sounds good to me |
| MJS: | yes very true |
| StephenP: | Jenna is sick and I\'m kind of sick today. We can reschedule guitar hero fest for next weekend. Plus the Tulane game is payperview next weekend |

| COW: | [above compound is diurea] |
| COW: | acks! my arrow turned into an html comment |
| COW: | (CO(NH2)2)2 |

| StephenP: | lol |
| MJS: | cock a doodle doo |
| StephenP: | they broke his jaw |
| MJS: | they took ur jerbs |

| MJS: | stephen, do you know of an Enadius on TigerDroppings? Hes one of my operators. |
| MJS: | No cavities, but some receding gums and wisdom teeth that need removing. |
| TheRandomVoid: | everyone is invited to come out with me and delia to texas de brazil tonight. Chimes afterwards for the alcohol. about 8 o\'clock |
| TheRandomVoid: | we played a couple rounds with nothing but hammers, lol |
| TheRandomVoid: | 6 people playing halo 3 odst last night was a lot of fun! |
| MJS: | ordered ingredients for the third hash of the amber ale - this time with more color, more caramelness, and more noble hops |
| StephenP: | Didn\'t even see your text until this evening. Phone didnt beep and there was no \"1\" on the messasge thing, which is odd. But Sundays suck for me. Quitting TW soon |
| jasond: | i couldnt have made it anyway today. #\'s on fb. |
| MJS: | what? |
| mew: | ah yes! Shawn, we\'re neighbors now!! |
| COW: | lol, phys-bio |

| MJS: | sunday |
| TheRandomVoid: | yeah, im going to sammy\'s instead |
| StephenP: | The food is excellent and worth the price, but knowing that they give out a half-off coupon every month makes me not want to pay $45 |
| StephenP: | Not without the coupon. Unfortunately, coupon is only valid on Mondays and Tuesdays |
| TheRandomVoid: | wanna go here? 10155 Park Rowe Ave, Ste 100 |
| StephenP: | Duude Roombas are awesome. A must-have if you have pets. It cleans under the couches unlike me. |
| StephenP: | When the digital cable guy gets here and finishes I\'ll head over. He is scheduled to be here between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. |
| StephenP: | Bonarbridge is the street, forgot the house # |
| TheRandomVoid: | oh yeah |
| MJS: | LSU |
| MJS: | damn MJSco autofilter |

| mustangdriver: | and computer games |

| MJS: | they claim well be back by 4 |
| StephenP: | Whens that |
| mustangdriver: | come over after matt gets back from his little exxon trip. |
| StephenP: | Apparently RockBand 2 and RockBand Beatles work with the hardware too. I just cant seem to find RockBand 2 for rent, and Beatles is always checked out |
| StephenP: | What time should I come over Saturday, and should I bring GH stuff again? |
| TheRandomVoid: | I\'ll try. I can\'t wait to leave VA! :-) |
| mustangdriver: | tim are you going to hang out with us this weekend or what? |
| MJS: | by the way I bought a serious little gas smoker at bass pro yesterday |
| MJS: | . : \' T h e M o r e Y o u K n o w \' : . |

| MJS: | We are near the intersection of Burbank and Nicholson |
| MJS: | IoWa |

| MJS: | aka I could handle easy mode |
| MJS: | i was marginal at the drums last time I played |
| MJS: | its ok jason - you just have to try - we dont expect excellence |
| jasond: | i suck at all rhythm games. i\'m white and was never in band. |
| StephenP: | It\'s about the same. The drums are very difficult for me because I have shitty hand/foot/eye coordination |
| MJS: | this is gonna be awesome, I\'ve played 2 of the rock bands with other people but havent seen the guitar hero version. |
| MJS: | Really becca? You surf Peta? I\'ve seen the chicken grinding operation on tv on How its Made - Eggs. Its really quite industrialized, lots of chickens on conveyor belts. |
| StephenP: | I have the band set now. So I am coming over with three guitars, a drum set and a mic. Guess I\'ll come when I wake up and get ready. I\'ve been up for 40 hours due to inexplicable insomnia. |
| mustangdriver: | you want |

| MJS: | exactly |
| StephenP: | Damn, I just noticed it\'s a 9:30 game. I guess that works out then to passe les temps before the game |
| StephenP: | cool. I might even buy the whole band set. The second guitar I have is crapping out, and a guitar by itself is $60, but a guitar plus drums plus microphone is $99 |
| MJS: | saturday night - jason must come as well says donald - we can watch the LSU game after |
| MJS: | hey im down |
| StephenP: | what are you folks doing this weekend? I could bring my wii games and guitar controllers. I bought Guitar Hero 5 yesterday, so I now have guitar hero 3, 4, and 5 |
| StephenP: | dudut |
| MJS: | actually I sent him a total of 48 samples...its a lot of samples...good job security |
| MJS: | he said WHAAT? |
| MJS: | yep, I sent him a sample for mogas tests that looked like burnt greenish orange motor oil |
| COW: | and matt, a few days(weeks?) ago you called my dad |
| COW: | too bad my $21,000 a year won\'t cut it in this venture |
| jasond: | I have a Celica GT |
| MJS: | I have a few scenarios ranging from 30-67% |
| MJS: | the economics only work with owner financing - otherwise your down payment kills your IRR |
| MJS: | well just have to slowly buy the whole building |
| MJS: | sweet! im actually thinking of buying one of the others |
| TheRandomVoid: | Hey Matt, I talked to your mom and am making an offer on #5 at that same building! |
| MJS: | screws certainly were a boon for wood binding technology |
| StephenP: | lol nails. Such a savage way to bind wood |
| TheRandomVoid: | they nailed the stairs together and covered the nails with carpet. the boards pulled apart. my dad fixed it with screws |
| MJS: | New funpic |
| MJS: | man, with the various gatherings we had-ida figured we\'d have broke the stairs if they were that breakable |
| mew: | i never messed up the stairs, and that was over a year ago and no, no wild parties |
| TheRandomVoid: | looks like a fun game along the lines of simcity from back in the day. http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/anno1404/review.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=gssummary&tag=summary;read-review |
| StephenP: | Damn. Didnt you live there? Throw some wild parties? |
| mew: | apparently they broke through or something. i dont know the specifics, but my dad has to rebuild them. |
| StephenP: | What happened to the stairs? |
| mew: | Perhaps pay dad or give him a gift certificate for all he does to keep your current one in tact. I mean he had to rebuild the stairs inside of it! |
| TheRandomVoid: | I want to get another Condo at the same building! :-) |
| mew: | http://games.adultswim.com/meowcenaries-action-online-game.html |
| MJS: | but we put up a new light in the living room |
| MJS: | have to re-popcorn where we removed some moldy drywall |
| MJS: | good, im going to post some pictures as soon as were done with the ceilings |
| StephenP: | How is the flip coming along? |
| mew: | Ah, I once went there in Texas and bought something and the bag it came in said \"contain yourself\" |
| jasond: | http://www.containerstore.com/browse/Product.jhtml?CATID=71236&PRODID=60192 |
| mew: | I need furniture. Any suggestions for online stores? |
| mew: | back in iowa... land of fields... |
| MJS: | does that come with free body repair? |
| mustangdriver: | sounds like you should have gotten a toyota. |
| MJS: | So i am asking GEICO to arbitrate and win, but there really is no evidence for either side. |
| MJS: | Wow, i really should have waited for the cop, cause then it would be a hit-and-run and they would be 100% liable |
| MJS: | Quoth The Hartford: \"The damages could support either version of the facts of loss...We\'ve concluded that you...are 100% liable for the accident.\" |
| MJS: | wow, well at least it will be nice to visit them |
| COW: | evony? |

| StephenP: | biiiig baaad beetleborgs |
| MJS: | there are no 3rd party witnesses |
| MJS: | f*n n*er is saying that i went in their lane (of course) so not the two insurance companies have to duke it out...and I can tell were going to get nowhere with this |
| MJS: | and the reactors are drillin\' hard |
| MJS: | my transition at work is keeping me rediculously busy - not only did I have to double my efforts...I had to REdouble them! |
| StephenP: | I generally do proposals with a 3-week turnaround at most. By aug. 14 I\'ll have been on this one for nearly two months |
| StephenP: | our questions* |
| StephenP: | You\'d think we could just wrap it up early, but the army hasnt answered are questions yet, and the team just see the extension as more time to polish and change things in the proposal. |
| StephenP: | This proposal I\'m managing at work just wont frickin end. It was first due on July 24, then the government extended it to Aug 7, now today another extension to Aug 14. |
| StephenP: | jeez, terrible luck |

| MJS: | yeah its probably best to eschew insurance considering the impact to your premium, as well as the required deductible |
| jasond: | nah, not bad |
| StephenP: | Gonna be $904 to fix mine. $679 to fix hers. Not too horrible. Gonna eschew insurance |

| StephenP: | My frame seems fine. No radiator damage either. The bumper cover is all one piece. The grill/emblem is another piece ($50 i think) |
| StephenP: | I rearended a lady on college drive. She drives an \'07 Camry. She was nice about it. Didn\'t call police, won\'t get insurance involved because her bumper is scuffed and will, at worst, need to be repainted |
| jasond: | online, the bumper covers themselves are going for 110-150 based on year, it looks like. body shops\'ll charge a few hundred to match paint and install, depends on if anything under the bumper needs replacing...is the frame ok? |
| jasond: | pull-a-part doesn\'t have any yarises in la, and craigslist doesn\'t have any listed under car parts |
| jasond: | ouch. so you\'ll need to replace bumper & grille or is that all 1 piece? |
| mustangdriver: | dude what happened? |
| StephenP: | how much you think that gonna cost me? (The hood is unscathed, as are the headlights. |
| StephenP: |  |
| MJS: | aww thats nice |
