I don’t recall being confused…
and I learned that Coldfire checks for navel lint when in the bathroom. Got me wondering… was it just the navel lint that brought you in there or was there something much more important going on?
I really try to be good but it just isn’t in my nature!
Self rising flour is okay as long as you drop any levitants [is that a word?] in the recipe.
I learned that Henry Ford was a co-inventor of the backyard bar-b-que.
Today I learned:
When the weather guy says that it’s going to snow, prepare for rain.
Coldfire is obsessed with different types of fluff.
It is actually possible to go to a bookstore and not buy anything.

I learned all of the following from a co-worker who is too dumb to live and was put on earth to drive me insane:
“Did you know, it’s really crowded at the mall today?” (December 15th? No shit!)
“Did you know, all THOSE PEOPLE are buying up all our houses?” (WTF?)
“Did you know, at the Olive Garden they don’t wash their dishes – they just scrape them with their fingernails?” (Oh, yeah Judy. REALLY EFFICIENT!)
“Did you know, they’re going to make a TV show with real people stranded on a desert island, and the winner gets a million dollars?” (Are you allowed to kill the other people to get it? Sounds like a short show!)
“Did you know, you shouldn’t eat Reeses’ Cups because they’re allowed to leave rat hairs in them?” (Hey, Judy. Did you know McDonalds hamburger might contain pieces of DEAD COW!!!)
“Did you know, that because of Y2K the sewer systems will all fail, and we’re going to die from our own bacteria?” (I wish it would happen sooner so I won’t have to listen to you anymore!!!)
ARRRRRRRRGH!
(And yes, she says “did you know?” at the beginning of every single sentance.)
“There’s a snake in my boot!”
So what can we deduce about Naval Lintelligence? ChiefScott???
Coldfire, “Buttcrack fluff”? PLEASE tell me you are kidding.
Well, I guess today I learned of the existence of buttcrack fluff. Sadly, that was the highlight of my day.
And that’s just my opinion. I could be wrong.
Today I learned that entering a mall parking lowers driving skills by at least 80%.
And if Coldfire is that obsessed with fluff of various kinds, does that make him a Fluffer Nutter?

I learned two very important and useful things today.

I am definitely going to have to remember that one, as I’m certain I’ll be able to put it to much good use. (Thank you StoryTyler - you’re a lifesaver! :))

I don’t know if I learned anything new today, per se, but I sure did get verification on some things I suspected…

Didn’t learn anything, but I just decided that Hapax Legomenon is going to be my new username.

I learned how to successfully embed a pic into a BB message. If anyone wants to see my Christmas card to all of you cool Dopers, it is in the About This Bulletin Board forum, under the heading “I want this to work”
(My project for tomorrow is to learn how to embed a link to it)

What the heck? I just realized I called the forum “About this Bulletin Board” instead of Message Board oops what a novice. So since I had to come back and correct myself, I figured I should try the link thing now.

Now if I did that right, I learned two things today… Merry Christmas.

I learned that ARG has made a reappearance on the board! Welcome back…
“Jesus Mary Joseph…you’re a biker chick!” - co-worker, upon hearing of my tattoo.
I learned today that if you make 2 consecutive jokes about a bodily (by)product or a some sexual act (more precisely: Felching), people will call you obsessed

“You know how complex women are”

I learned that it’s only your very true, bestest friends that have absolutely no compunction about calling you drunk off their asses at 2:26 in the morning when they should be either a) asleep or b) fucking studying so they don’t fail another required class; the purpose of this call is to tell a sleeping working man that a guy they tried to date once and don’t really like anymore was drunk and asked them to marry him.
I also learned that the aforesaid friends also have a tendency to have the girl you’re trying to date there with them, drunk as well, asking you to marry them. So it all balances out in the end, I suppose.
Nothing like a bad decision
Says who you are.

I learned today that I shouldn’t go more than a day without opening every single flippin’ thread on the message board.
By the by, GBS is my naval fluffer!
Homeward bound! 1 and a wup!
I was not-so-gently reminded today of a very important lesson I learned long ago.
I should not call my mother without first mentally preparing myself to let whatever nasty things she says roll off my back.
“I should not take bribes and Minister Bal Bahadur KC should not do so either. But if clerks take a bribe of Rs 50-60 after a hard day’s work, it is not an issue.” ----Krishna Prasad Bhattarai, Current Prime Minister of Nepal
levitant; (noun) a huge marine animal that rises out of the sea,frightening the fluff out of navel sinners .
Well I ,for one, am confused, “hapax legomenon” is TWO words and I looked all through my texts and I can’t find either of them any where, if they are so hard to translate why would Lilith want to use them?
I,for two, don’t want to know what you learned from this post,thank you very much.
