Well, at least the admins are into keeping their word!

You had different heights? We had exactly one number and had to use it for heights, gradients, everything!

You could use one number for so many uses? We were allowed one number for one use. Man, what a buzzkill, so many uses for a single number. Whodathunkit?

You had buzzkills? Wow. All we had were hums that left bruises.

A landowner went out early in the morning … Take your pay and go. I want to give the man who was hired last the same as I gave you. Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’

First, it sounds like a quick way to go out of business.
-Those who worked all day aren’t likely to want to sign up again the next day first thing in the morning. They will wait until later in the day hoping that a better opportunity might come along.
-Those that do choose to show up to work probably won’t work too hard because they know that those who show up with an hour left get paid the same as if they were there all day.
I guess there are some people who don’t mind working harder, longer hours than their co-workers doing the same jobs. I don’t know any, though.

Best one yet, ETF Mind if I steal it for a sig?

No problem with that. It’s just a one-time gig.

You had Hums? …

This whole thread is a fucking waste of time. The clock on our registration accounts doesn’t start ticking until the LAST sign-up day. So everyone who paid their $4.95 back in March got a free month, and now an extra week (I assume.)

@RTA

Lemme get this straight, duffer: You had a username which you registered and used on this board, but you can’t remember what it was? That sounds like Bullshit to me.

I’ll stick up for duffer on this one. Hell, I nearly forgot my own password for this board (since my browser logs in automatically) and it took six tries to get it right when I started using a different computer.

You had phospholipids?!? :eek: All we had were carbon and hydrogen atoms, and we had to walk ten miles uphill – both ways – just to get a little oxygen.

Hah, you think you had weird topology? I grew up in a Klein bottle. I tried to move out but I’m still stuck in this damn thing. You try figuring out with way is north in here, hmph.

Pah, Hausdorff lightweights. Our space wasn’t even locally Euclidean!

Sure, go ahead. For just $4.95 you can use it for a year.

You guys had dead horses? All we had was a buncha Hyracotherium fossils and they’d disintegrate into dust whenever you beat them.

Thank you EddyTeddyFreddy and j_sum1. That was a very cool offer and not something I expected! I would feel a bit weird taking advantage of the kindness of strangers though. I rarely post, (ok I have spurts when I post…that sounds vaguely pornographic ) so I would feel like I wasted your kindness.

I will always be here reading though! Can’t do without my daily Dope dose:)

You seem so. . so. . .calm about it all. . .

[TellMeI_mNotCrazy]

Calm, dramaless exits?

We can’t have that! You must wail! Whine! Go out kicking and screaming! Sheesh. Have you learned nothing?

@Biggirl

Don’t worry I will be jumping around seething in fury and frustration next week when insomnia hits and I can’t post.

I’m just doing the rest of you a favour really…I’m kind and calm

Bugger! Now you tell me!

I promise I will still swear loudly at the monitor, ok?

But that would deprive us all of knowing exactly (and in great detail) how upset you are. How am I supposed to carry on if I don’t know to what excruciating extent this will ruin your life? How can you be so thoughtful??

I am deeply upset that I have upset you. I am not snorting beverages onto my keyboard but slowly killing it with my tears.

:: Donning asbestos Pit gear against backfires ::

WTF?!? calm kiwi, what the BLOODY BLUE BLAZES is this “kindness from strangers” crap??? :mad: How can you call me a stranger when we’ve :eek: shared a thread together? When we’ve posted, electron to electron, sharing our deepest, darkest smilies for all the world to see? :eek:

Please, please… don’t leave me! Don’t desert your family now, when we’d finally got Crazy Uncle Al locked in the basement, and Cousin Vipera’s left on that one-way cruise to Antarctica. HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME??? You cruel, heartless tease! :mad:

:: removing Pit gear ::

Seriously, dumpling – you’re not a stranger among strangers; you ARE a part of the Doper family. I would miss you if you couldn’t contribute. I LIKE helping people subscribe – between sponsoring and proxying, I’ve rung up more than a dozen Dopers so far, and want more, MORE!

Please, calm kiwi – do reconsider, and email me your password so I can get you safely into the fold before the deadline. It’s laura.graf@comcast.net – do it, just do it!

And as a bonus, the SDMB doesn’t have all those annoying cards falling out of it all over the place whenver you open a thread.

Magazines, for the record, should have a “no freaking cards” rate – I’d pay a 30% or so premium to make those things go away.

Nor does your computer start smelling like some cheap perfume which, if I didn’t know better, would have thought was a defensive mechanism to avoid be preyed upon.
