he will pretend he can hear me, but if I’m on the phone 20 feet away he can hear every word when I’m even talking in a low voice. Really pisses me off.
He has another game he plays he always try to sabotage my weekend plans or any other plans I have, fuck you.
Does anybody know the largest number of times a zombie thread has been resurrected?
Huh?
You know?
It is always so weird to see all those old names with a banned under them. I’m like “I remember them, what the hell did they do…”
Wha?
I’ve somehow managed to still be around!
Can you imagine how much time it takes to find all those names and change the status to BANNED under each one? Those mods are really a hard working bunch.
One of my favorite jokes is almost relevant to this:
Husband to Wife: You women never stop talking, and here’s an article that proves it. A study has shown that women speak twice as many words in an average day than men do.
Wife to Husband: That’s only because you men never listen to us and we have to repeat ourselves.
Husband to Wife: What?
Heh. Okay, that made the resurrection of the zombie worthwhile.
So… mumble garble mumble think about very preoccupied people mumble tinnitus, who also mumble mumble?
I’ll go back to lurking again, I suppose.
Way more than this one. There’s a thread about a screaming preacher boy that’s been resurrected about 5 or 6 times. Each time by someone actually connected to the original story, who found it by googling.
“Flight 2-0-9’er, you are cleared for take-off.”
“Roger.”
“Huh?”
“L.A. departure frequency, 123 point 9’er.”
“Roger.”
“Huh?”
“Request vector, over.”
“What?”
“Flight 2-0-9’er cleared for vector 324.”
“We have clearance, Clarence.”
“Roger, Roger. What’s our vector, Victor?”
“Tower’s radio clearance, over!”
“That’s Clarence Oveur. Over.”
“Over.”
“Roger.”
“Huh?”
“Roger, over!”
“What?”
“Huh?”
“Who?”
I started a thread about how many days there were in Groundhog Day that’s been resurrected 4 or 5 times.
I am one of those that can hear a pin drop in a quiet environment, but can’t quite make out what the people on TV are saying because of the background noise or musical soundtrack. I also happen to be about 1,000 miles away from my wife on a programming contract, but we converse daily.
Sometimes, outside noise (like loud pipes on someone’s motorcycle – someone should pit that!) will interfere with only a single word that she spoke. I will say, “Can you repeat that last word; I caught all of it except the last word?” But she can never repeat the last word – she has to start over from the very beginning of her pronouncement. Then, when she finally gets to the critical point, there’s that damn motorcycle again!
So I tell her that I heard everything except for the very final word, can she please just say that word? Apparently not.
I am not very glib; when I speak, I often pause to choose my next words or to consider what I want to say and how to say it in a way that conveys what I am thinking. Obviously, those pauses are my way of saying, “Since I haven’t said enough for anything to make sense, now would be a good time to ask me to repeat it.”
They failed to listen mostly.
There’s also a thread about the mythical alternate ending to Big that keeps getting revived.
My wife is at the other end of the spectrum. She has two bad habits, the first being she can’t say “hello” without it turning into a dissertation, and the second one is she mumbles. So when the inevitable “What?” comes from me, she has to restart her long winded speech from the top.
“Goddammit, just replay the last 20 seconds that I didn’t understand!”
ETA: I posted from the middle of page one, and I now see other people have this issue, too. Very good…
