I'd wear that next time I needed to run the chainsaw... though the last guy I know who got hurt using one, had his face tore up quite badly. Right after Hurricane Sandy, he was cutting logs, and there was a downed cyclone fence underneath them :O The bar jumped up and smashed him in the face. He looks almost completely normal now, thank goodness!

I had 3 Toll House cookies :p It was like 2$ and change for a block of pre-made cookies, so I thought I'd see if they'd improved. Hells no |: they taste almost caustic, like lime.

I have a plastic (analog) clock on my desk |: Yeah, I guess I know what you mean - some folks don't drop by here for a while, and you kinda have to process time from their point of view, with relation to their stated short-term goals (which seems to be the subject matter for a majority of blog posts here, "Working on a new ___!!1!")

I hate all this animated shit that is flying around on many websites. It's the main reason why I use adblock: I just can't stand it when there's so much stuff going on.

It wasn't much, or too terribly annoying, just the treads moving, and the turret going and up and down a pixel or two... or maybe not. It has been a while, but I'm sure they tried it for a few months. NG isn't too bad with ads, but good God, Deviant Art is completely slutted out with aggressive ads |:

I remember when Burger King first started offing those. No one could believe a fast food joint could actually do 'em.

It was all I had at the time...I'm going to pick up some catfood today, but she was hungry

Just got a 20 lb. bag... hope it lasts more than 2 weeks :| I got too many cold outside cats.

Would olive oil work?

Real butter or pan drippings would be best. Hesitant to give carnivorous animals too many plant proteins.

I faced some quite daunting problems before the internet took off, but I always figured it out, even if I did make it worse at times...

Got 3 tabs open just now, all Newgrounds.... still prefer the lil tank (which used to be animated) to the ugly orange NG icon.

Yeah, the old favicon was iconic. Bookmark NGLogs and you'll have that one too. ;)

But you hardly see any animated tab/page icons anymore. Pretty sure FF still accepts them... ah, but wasn't there a minor backlash against how annoying they looked? That was back around the time they started making tabs, when it was still one window, one page...

Paper bags. Any recycled or regular paper bag will do the trick, so don't fret when it comes to going out of your way to find one suitable towards the treatment of your cat and his inner demons. Now what you're gonna want to do is slowly place the paper bag over the upper part of your pet's body, gently nestling the part of the paper bag that is around the base of his neck. Now, once finished with this, you will proceed to pick the cat up by the neck with one hand (preferably your dominant arm's hand), and toss him with brute force at a hard surface. Repeatedly doing this will insure more positive, long-term results.

There's a similar cure for cats in heat. You talk to them nicely, feed them their favorite dishes, pet it as much as it wants. Then you place the pussy in a small closet with no light. Before it can figure out what you're doing it, stun it with a slightly warm, 5 pound (2.2 kg) block of Vaseline (petroleum jelly). Close the door and wait for 3-5 days for the noises to stop.

How politically correct (and stylish!) of you!

This chick seriously freaked me out, back in the day. She had so many adopted kids, Woody Allen picked out a Vietnamese girl and... indoctrinated (Mass Effect pun) her |: Better to have just a few and really raise them, than having your own kiddie boarding house.

At 1/5/14 10:30 PM, Shauna wrote: Can I abort the child if I don't like it after?

I think you can in Romania... post-partum abortion or some such, it was in the news not long ago. Just looking at the current global madness is enough to pre-abort any kids before they've hatched lol. I mean who really would want a kid in the face of all this uncertainty? However, the immense joy of kids (eg: Tom Fulp) can enrich and validate in ways most young people can't imagine yet.

Yeah, I got that problem too. Poor Ma always wanted a grandchild. Visiting kids are so much better when you're a senior.

At 1/6/14 04:59 AM, Thor wrote: Waffles, or chicken nuggets?

Both are dicey these days. If you make the waffles from batter, shit, go for it!

I wanted a tuna sandwich but we don't have any tuna.

I almost forgot 2 cans of tuna fish in the shopping cart, they were behind the plastic flap on the kids seat. Found them just in time too.

Oh, and my cat didn't have any cat food so I just gave her some sausage and bread. Do you think that's okay for cats?

If you dry the bread out completely and get some grease on it (to go down the pipes better), it should be okay. I really hate breaking up food into pussy sized morsels :|

Hey, have I totally been in the dark lately? I just found that if I hovered over the time in a blog comment, an exact time pops up? That's a nice feature.

Yeah that's a lot of bookmarks! I use mine as just a temporary space for sites I need to revisit in a near future, then get rid of them. Currently have... 11 bookmarks, not counting the eternal five in the bookmark bar with only favicons displayed. I store other links in .txt files...

Sure I got a lot of bookmarks, been online for over 20 years (regularly for 16 years)! But yeah, most of them are pages I'll never visit again. If I really streamlined things, left only one bookmark per site, I'd probably still have a few hundred :\

Where do you go for news?

While I can't cite any personal examples off the top of my head, I will say, that folks with Asperger's Syndrome (type of autism) can't help but take everything literally to heart. Even knowing it's a play on words, or just words, the first text book (face) meaning, is the first thing to impact the brain.. so 'giving someone a hard time', is especially emotionally perplexing.

Seriously, cancer isn't the only disease there is.

Both my folks had that, but luckily managed to keep it in check. It was the simpler things that killed them... doctors are so overspecialized, you'd be lucky to get properly diagnosed AND treated, before the grim reaper comes a calling.

And superghandi can bite my bag, claiming to know what God's minute intentions are. If I get a cold, does that make me a sinner? The fault lies not in the stars, but ourselves; just look at what man has been mass-producing since cancer skyrocketed over a century ago, and you'll see man's will at work.

At 1/3/14 02:55 PM, Viper50 wrote: Also I've started to just bookmark the entire windows I have open and save them in folders. Just in case something happens and I lose any tabs I was still using or whatever.

Folders of bookmarks are totes magoats. I got 1401 bookmarks, down from a high of 2000+

If the guy didn't have quite so many TV and movie appearances to his credit, I might be more inclined to rely on his academic suppositions :\ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Moore

Still, it's a strange corner of reality we inhabit... though I seriously doubt gravity at those distances would mean much here. However, the effect of two opposing magnetic forces in close proximity (when falling), has been proven to fall slower than a non magnetic force. Saw the video online... then remembered what my sly old science teacher had said, years ago.

Got 4 open, and none of them memory intensive, since I'm on XP with 512MB

I had over 150 tabs open about a week ago, but my browser crashed.

I once had 3 windows open in Firefox with roughly 300 tabs open in total but my browser never crashed or anything....

It's crashed before though, hasn't it? How many bookmarks?

Aside from @Asandir, @Cyberdevil, and maybe @VicariousE Tom is one of the nicest people on the entire site. I don't think I've ever seen him get full on pissed off at someone on here before.

You're kidding, right? First time I talked to Tom, I was as rude as hell! SCTE3 can take my place. Tom's the kinda guy who would only get pissed off, if one of his friends or family needed a damn good talking to... he could probably the count those times on one hand.

I guess the distinction is between municipal/county and private snowplow operators, which both have their own pros and cons... if you work for a town, say NYC, the department and union kinda cover for their drivers :\

I just un, then reinstalled FF and imported back my bookmarks, and it runs great now. Way too many updates for them this year...

I keep getting some Ribena(?) ads that make a christmas(type) noise, I have to click on it to make it pause, and that makes the ad show up more.

Ribena the drink? Thought that was a British drink, weird to see it advertise at all....

I think it may have stopped now, though, I would need to browse more.

Adventure Quest World always has some crappy noisy thing going on, but it has a mute button and later a skip button... both of which are potential profits to someone else :\

Shooting the bad guy, having a midnight hamburger, taking a pill to counteract the stuff in the burger...

Congrats to the winners, especially the First and Fifth place winners ;)

Try making cookies next time, but be careful, goes straight to your head about 45 minutes after consumption. Xmas rum cake was my gateway drug lol.

I hear ya, but I imagine Tom's kids and wife burned him out (and the new game), seasonally speaking... the older you get, the less the holidays mean. When you're over 21, Christmas defaults to the kiddies and their happiness; if you're not a kid or a parent, yer out of the loop :(

Holding a whip *wha-PISH*wha-PISH*
Sorry to be such a pest Tom, it's just I've seen a few members (not specifically on the list) who are going to MAGfest, thought it might help! At least I didn't ask you to retroactively add stuff to the NG Calendar... but getting the collections and events in place for 2014, will surely help future submissions, and get them tagged properly.

All work and no play make Tom a dull boy.

I'm sure there will tons to expect in the coming year, you hardly fail to excite in that arena! However, considering how Front Page space matters, I'd like to see more posted in the NG Calendar, below the admin staff news post. Christmas has it's own collection, and could've been added to the calendar... just like this event, which showcases tons of Newgroundsians.
