Anyone who gets a "YES" , after answering a few questions on the 1/2B registration form ends up looking at halfempty or pseudodictionary.-- UnaBubba, May 17 2002 and the questions?-- IvanIdea, May 17 2002 Are you definitely not related to Bob Monkhouse? Do you think 'succulent' is an underused word? Should there be more compulsory things for the public to enjoy? Like mandatory ID cards, for instance. Do you often find people lack the ability to comprehend the sheer brilliance of your musings?-- UnaBubba, May 17 2002 Do u c n e thing wrong with this sentence? DO YOU SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THIS SENTENCE? Do you see anything wrong with this sentence????? Do you think dehydrated water is funny? Would your account name end in _uk? Would your account name be longer than 10 characters?
Do any of your musings involve any of the following?: Exercise equipment and power generation Anti-gravity Faster-than-light travel Genetic engineering -- phoenix, May 17 2002 "Do you think you have a better idea of what a site should be used for than the people who create and run it?"
"Do you believe that pissing people off is the best way to get them to understand a completely unrelated and unrevealed but fundamental truth?"
"Are you a 1st year student?"-- Saveloy, May 17 2002 Do you post ideas with really long names with no spaces that screw up the 1/2bakery layout?-- pottedstu, May 17 2002 "Should everybody on this site get a life?"-- calum, May 17 2002 Do you and you and you and you and you and you all inhabit the same lifeform?-- thumbwax, May 17 2002 Hey wait a minute... my name has 13 characters...-- RayfordSteele, May 17 2002 But you didn't come up with that name just to draw as much attention to yourself as possible. <rubber stamp sound effect>EXEMPT</stamp>
But, if I see [NicolaeCarpathia] come a trollin' I'll know it's you and your exemption will be revoked.-- half, May 17 2002 Hey cool. I need one of those. A basic 'EXEMPT' stamp would come in handy in all sorts of situations. Could you stamp that on my next year's tax forms, too?
So I should scrap my plans for a mandatory, genetically-engineered, faster-than-light exercise bike generator, then?-- RayfordSteele, May 17 2002 Only if it's also anti-gravity.-- FarmerJohn, May 18 2002 i can see how a lot of these things could be considered very annoying to you all, but why do you see long names as a problem? I much prefer them to an over-abreviated mess of letters.-- bobofthefuture, May 18 2002 Did you read the help file?-- yamahito, May 18 2002 They NEVER do.-- UnaBubba, May 18 2002 i was thinking about this last night: why stop with a system that only answers yes or no? Why not have a full diagnostic, which not only tells you whether or not you qualify as a troll, but also tells you which breed you might be.
This way even those who qualify as a true halfbaker will have an idea of where their own particular trolling weaknesses lie..-- yamahito, May 19 2002 This idea is a damn disgrace! I particularly consider phoenix's first posting as tantamount to match-fixing. You know what I mean, UnaBubba :o)-- DrBob, May 19 2002 I do?-- UnaBubba, May 19 2002 Eh?-- phoenix, May 19 2002 Pah! Don't play the innocent with me. We're talking gymnasiums [amended] and beer bets here!-- DrBob, May 19 2002 Ah. But I didn't post it as an idea, so I don't think it counts.-- phoenix, May 19 2002 I know that, but by categorising it with trollish tendencies, you are clearly attempting to prevent anyone else from doing so. Therefore match-fixing. I rest my case, m'Lud.-- DrBob, May 20 2002 I'd like to see a 'gynasium'... maybe I wouldn't...-- UnaBubba, May 20 2002 (Add to my above list of musings) Threatening to kick another country's ass-- phoenix, May 20 2002 What about it's "sse"?-- mcscotland, May 20 2002 *good one-- dentworth, Apr 29 2004 //"Are you a 1st year student?"//
I simultaneously agree and disagree with this one...-- Detly, Apr 29 2004 Am I a troll?-- moomintroll, Apr 01 2005 I don't think so [moom]. Time will tell.-- Worldgineer, Apr 01 2005 Maybe the help file should be the first (only) thing that comes up before creating a user name.-- yabba do yabba dabba, Apr 01 2005 i read the entire HELP file. thought it was hilarious.-- rainbow, Dec 20 2005 I would like to humbly request exemption from the 10-letter rule, as I have used 'starfyredragon' around pretty much all of the internet since I was a kid.
I'd also like exemption from the talking about genetic engineering as I am currently attending KU and working on my PhD in genetics.
However, I make no promises about Faster-than-light travel, as being a scientist (even if it is out of my field), natural curiosity has me constantly watching for loopholes. [[[For the record, a warp drive as presented in Star Trek, at least according to the physicists I've had random conversations at the watercooler with, is pretty much nonsense. However, a 'skip drive' (basically method of going from speed A to speed B without accelerating inbetween, thus getting past the lightspeed barriar...kind of a inertial version of quantum teleportation), is technically somewhat hypothetically plausible.]]]-- starfyredragon, Aug 05 2009 exemption granted...if you can figure out a way I can grow coniferous or carnivorous ivy on the house. Other than that all subject areas I'm less than "clueless" about should contain the words "custard", "lawn ornament" and "standard shipping container" and involve at least one explosion or a voltage > 1MV...
Carry on.
(hey I have 13 letters, and ID cards are great: you don't have to waste a real card jimmying open doors with, then)-- FlyingToaster, Aug 05 2009 //technically somewhat hypothetically plausible// [marked-for-tagline]-- BunsenHoneydew, Aug 10 2009 Nice campus, KU. Let me know if you run into anyone down on Mass St. with long greasy hair, dirty old converse, donned in a vintage pink floyd t-shirt. They owe me two burritos from burrito kang.-- daseva, Aug 10 2009 NIN ETE ENT HLY Only just a troll then. Phew.-- nineteenthly, Aug 10 2009 It's the pointy ears that give you away. Either that, or you're a Vulcan.... or maybe a Romulan.
How do you feel about Tribbles ?-- 8th of 7, Aug 10 2009 All this time I've been a troll and had no clue.
Well that just bites.I didn't get a bridge or anything.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Aug 10 2009 halfbakery
