Discussion thread for the "Polls only" thread (Part 2)

I waffled between “I don’t think Bigfoot exists” and “I’m open to the possibility that Bigfoot exists”. I ultimately went with “I’m open to the possibility”, meaning if someone found some really convincing evidence of it’s existence, then I might change my mind. It would have to be some really good evidence, though.

Yeah, if we got good enough evidence I’d change my mind. I just think that any such evidence would have shown up by now; at least, for any population large enough to be a breeding population. I suppose there might be one or two individual remnants of what was once a breeding population hiding out somewhere; but I haven’t seen any clear evidence of that, either.

I would dearly love for Bigfoot to exist, and flying saucers, and free energy. Unfortunately, the overwhelming preponderance of evidence indicates that they don’t.

Bigfoot doesn’t believe in us, either.

As far as Bigfoot existing, I’m not prepared to say absolutely not, but I’m far too skeptical to honestly say I’m open to the possibility. So, pie.

I dispute “No soup for you!”'s catchphrase status. IMO, a catchphrase is something a main character uses over many episodes throughout a series. This phrase, although it has entered pop culture as a commonly used reference, only appeared in a single episode of Seinfeld.

You are definitely not getting any soup.

mmm

  • That’s what she said*.* – The Office- I use that but not from the Office, that is an old joke, and I am pretty sure Monty Python used it. So I didnt click on it, as the premise is wrong. I tried watching that show, but I hate stupid humor.

Bigfoot is a hoax. 100%,

Yeti- mostly bears and/or mistaken ID, but also a Hoax.

Nessie- mistaken ID and hoax.

I am not a snob, really. I mean, yes I like decent cheddar not “pasteurized processed cheese food”, but the store brand is okay for sandwiches and stuff.

So, I dont like the cheap versions, but I dont have to have the gourmet kinds.

I don’t recall Monty Python using that, but I’m sure Thag once said it to Og.

I think we’re going to disagree on this. I don’t believe a catchphrase has to come from a main character, nor do I think it necessarily has to be used over many episodes (or even more than once).

If a pop culture phrase catches on (heh) with the general public and is frequently being repeated, that’s enough for me.

mmm

“Up your KNOW with a rubber hose”??

You nose what I meant.

mmm

Yes, please.

It seems that typically the person who will come into the office and say, “Good morning ladies,” is the same person who will insist that “guys” is gender neutral.

I don’t understand why so many not non-gendered words and phrases need to be gendered.

Waynes World used it and the brit equivalent is " as the actress said to the bishop".

The only cheese I don’t eat is the individually wrapped slices. I use Velveeta when making mac & cheese, but not exclusively.

It does make good fish bait. :innocent: :grinning:

I see a difference.

Let’s say I’m a recovering alcoholic. I might say “I can not take a drink of alcohol.” This would express my belief that I can overcome my alcoholism.

Saying “I cannot take a drink of alcohol” has a different meaning. This is expressing that it is impossible for me to drink alcohol.

How do you pronounce the year 2004?

SOX WlN!

CD player in cards - I answered yes. As mentioned elsewhere, we traded in my prior driver (a 2002 Subaru Outback Sport) which ALSO had a CD player when we got my wife the PHEV. I’m now driving her prior car, a 2007 Toyota, that has a CD player, and it’s a “new fangled” model that plays MP3 encoded CDs! So I guess I could have also clicked “yes” to the “other” poll option.

My current car is a 2019 model. It does not have a CD player (or any other sort of physical media player). It’s got the now typical touchscreen infotainment system with traditional radio, satellite radio (which I don’t pay for, so I’ve never used it), Bluetooth pairing with my phone for streaming music, and an aux jack.

My old 2009 car had a CD player, which I never used.

The car before that had a cassette player, which didn’t work.
