carrot = orange vegetable that Bugs Bunny chomps on.
caret = insertion character ^ or, in Microsoft Windows, that blinking vertical bar in an edit control that tells you where the next character you type is going to go.
carat = 3.08647 grains (about 1/5 of a gram), used in weighing diamonds.
karat = a unit of purity when speaking of gold. 24 karat gold is pure gold, 12 karat gold is 50% gold by weight and 50% other stuff, 18 karat gold would be 75% gold by weight, etc…
Now aren’t you glad you asked?
My friend bought his wife a three-carrot ring. It was very pretty, with the green enamel foliage coming off one side and the three little orange enamel points off the other.

I agree that all people should be treated as well as fish.
We should round all of them up in giant nets and eat them!

How high is up?
I hope they used baby carrots or that would make a very heavy ring.
Another LBer has hit your boards.
Hi ya onesheep! how’s you??
Does anyone, other than me, find it ironic that when new LB’ers come to the SDMB, this thread functions like a welcoming committee?
I don’t know 'bout the rest of y’all, but I find it highly appropiate.

Works for me, Tris. If I can clear the snow off my deck, I’ll fire up the barbecue grill. Steaks tonight!

Satan had a thread discussing this very topic over in MPSIMS. DO NOT GO HERE!

Hey now, Spiritus Mundi, that nickname was FIGURATIVE, not LITERAL. Geez, now I feel dirty!!! Come on now! (and I mean that figuratively too)
Fellow LBers- great to see you! I haven’t looked in on the LBMB in a while. Are any of you still posting over there? I’m annoyed (I’ll spare you the details) and reluctant to go back. It’s a shame. I met a lot of wonderful people and enjoyed the fellowship. Oh well.
Steak??? Who said steak?
Oh, that was me. I was saying we ought to drive a steak through that vampire’s heart before sundown.
Exactly how would you go about doing that? Seems you’d end up with a bunch of ground meat.
I’ll bring the corn on the cob.
“Knickname?” What, you give pet names to his trousers?
Thanks, Spiritus; at least now I understand certain inside references that had come up on various threads!
