In my own mind, at the time, I was the very definition of subtle wit and ironic humour with an undercurrent of post-modern sarcastic pathos. Reading back now I just sound like a wanker. This happens to me any time I get on stage after a few too many. Always seems like a great idea, because I'm so funny around my friends, but when I actually have to address the audience in a coherent manner I usually forget everything - mostly everything. -Oni

You were supposed to say: "No. Not at all. It was hilarious. I got it even if nobody else did". But that is obviously too much to expect from our resident scyther of BS. I will never drink again. Well.... Until next time.

Posting drunk always seems like a really really good idea. Sometimes I read it back later and think - Phew! that sounds almost like you know what you are talking about" and sometimes I read it back and just cringe.

I will never drink again. Well.... Until next time. - I'll assume in a few hours from now....

It's like going through my text messages in the morning after a night of heavy drinking. I regret every text I sent, except the one that achieved it's goal. - Oni

glad of it, xongsmith.
puppy linux is great. Yes, OS on a stick, along with all your files, means you can take your computer anywhere you have access to a machine Puppy Linux gets my oscar nomination for the best OS: simple and tight. loads into RAM for fast operation. Load from a read only CD and the OS is impervious to virus, trojans, etc, and just need to sweep your personal files. The wave of the future is a portable memory and tangential hardware used as hoc as necessary. Enjoy we are limited in our ability to understand

USA first game - No friggin problem. Bring. It. On. seriously cannot wait. Have lots of mates going out to SA for the competition. Alas these days I am too domesticated for that to be a realistic option....... But to bring this (very superficially) on topic - Biggest US "soccer" fan? Or are you all imbecilic philistines with no appreciation of the beautiful game?

Ahem; if this is still the Oscar thread, I wish to interrupt the yada for nomination of Son Goku, who patiently and good-spiritedly explains physics problems to dummies and to the proficient alike, for Cite Physicist Oscar.

Yep. SG and Cavey are soooo obvious as nominations that I didn't even feel the need to set a category for them. But yes. Of course SG and Cavey both deserve a nomination here for their contribution to education, understanding and making this forum a cut above the rest in terms of genuine scientific input. Some of SG's "QFT for idiots" has been truly inspiring. Cavediver is more than capable of equally inspirational moments. On an educational level it is hard to seperate the two. SG wins on patience. Cavey wins on cutting but funny remarks to obvious idiots. Take your pick on that basis.

Hi Straggler. Yes, Cavey well deserves one as well as SG; no doubt about it. SG, perhaps is a bit more patient with dummies like me, but then Cavey is somewhat more johnnyonthespot, being somewhat more active in the threads so as to get his patience tried more frequently.
Idiologically I don't have a lot in common with either, being a staunch Biblical creationist. Nevertheless, physics is physics, applicable significantly to all. BUZSAW B 4 U 2 C Y BUZ SAW. The immeasurable present eternally extends the infinite past and infinitely consumes the eternal future.

The award for the most persistently pissed (in the British sense of the word) poster:
Hic! Santa Claus Santa Claus.Exposes all of RAZ's flaws. A triumph of rhyme and reason. Just in time for the festive season. Faith based agnostic. With opinions. The never endiiiing debate continues. What's your take on subjective ev-i-dence? Take a stand. Don't sit on the fence!! Santa Claus Santa Claus. Unable to be proven non-existent. Unicorns and Pixies too. No matter where you look. Or how persistent. Tooth Fairy and Easter Bunny. Incessant agnosticism is so funny. Lots of threads. Lots or posts. Telepathic dogs, superstrings and ghosts. Who is right? Who is wrong? Who cares? Let's sing a song!!! Agnostic or a-the-is-tic. Evidential validity is the yardstick. Santa Claus. Santa Claus. Exposes Alllllll of RAZ's flaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwws! Edited by Straggler, : No reason given.
