Welcome to Mellophant that was Domebo. We are a general interest message board and welcome all. We will attempt to answer General Factual Questions, hold debates, talk sports and games or play games, discuss the arts from the cultural to reality TV...
With Caerie's blessing, I'm starting this new thread. We've got a channel on Freenode. In order to find us, you'll need a client like mIRC, or go to www.mibbit.com, which is a web-based client that is easy to use. The server is...
I know you're watching. It's okay, really. You'll find it's not intimidating at all once you dive in. In fact, it's rather anticlimactic. C'mon, you can do it. If you don't, I'll stop talking to you. :Shake:
There is a costume party coming up with the theme of "Stereotypes" and there is a prize for best costume. I pride myself on the costumes i wear to themed parties and I really want to win this one. This theme will be kind of different for me as...
The recent challenge to start interesting “Ask the - -" threads to raise the tone of this place has made me consider the threads of that sort that I could start. I entertained the possibilities below, but rejected them. What threads won’t you be...
Addressed to fabric softener sheets in general. I recently read that they impair my towels absorbtive abilities. Lately, they have been making my laundry smell "Mountain Fresh". Why should I bother?
What does that mean to you? Is your answer different depending on whether the querant is a coworker, a friend, or a romantic partner (boy/girlfriend, wife/husband, etc.)?
Inspired by this thread: do you ever see reports in foreign media about events in your country, and just cringe a little? Do you ever want to just go, "Hey, I promise I've never personally met someone like that! We're not all ____________!" For...
The people involved: Me: An un-tall, somewhat flabby 40+ father of a nine year old, separated 2 months from his wife of 15 years. She: A young, curvaceous, willowy brunette with long hair. Did I mention she was young? I figured out she was...
Yeah, it's a funny t-shirt, isn't it. "I'm somebody's fetish." I may be not conventionally beautiful but by golly there's somebody out there who's masturbating over some small physical quirk of mine! Bwah hah ha ha ha! It's funny! Till one day...
If you listen to talk radio at all, especially NPR, you've heard these turns of phrase: "in formed by" as in "Her decisions are informed by a life of public service" and "speak to that" as in "I haven't read the article so I can't speak to...
Period of expertise, 1962 to present date. Specialist subjects: crime, the "Madchester era", supporting Man Utd home and away when they were crap(1970 - 85), and the world renowned Manchester music scene. Come on, fire away!
At the very beginning of Stephen King's apocalyptic novel, "The Stand," the young guard at the military facility that created and accidentally released the super-virus that kills most of the world's populaton is supposed to stay at his post (and the...
As does "unlike" :smash: as an undoing verb for "like". (Thank you, Facebook.) These are not words. These are Orwellian Newspeak. Double plus ungood. That is all.
Yup. That's what I was saying this afternoon. It felt odd to say it, and odder still, to mean it. Those of you who may recall from the Dope, my father's health has been failing for the past several years. He has a condition known as Normal...
Does anyone else find themselves on the receiving end of a line like that? For years, I went off playing pool because I studied physics and therefore should have been far, far better at it than I was. Apparently. "It's all just maths and angles, you...
An exGF and I formulated this theory that some people might be 'allergic' to certain colours. Ours was orange. It would affect my mood really badly, as if I were psychologically allergic to it or something. You guys have this with certain colours?...
http://au.launch.yahoo.com/news/article/-/8943121/mcfadden-giving-profits-to-rape-charity/ The song is called 'Just The Way You Are (Drunk At The Bar)' and features lyrics about 'taking "advantage" and doing "some damage" to an intoxicated girl'.
So, here's the plan. On April 1, 2009, all Ameicans are asked to send a TEABAG to Washinton , D.C. You d o not have to enclose a note or any other information unless you so desire. Just a TEABAG. Many cities are organizing protests. If you...
Beyond our own Thunderdome, wut! wut! reminds me of the Madness of King George, wherein George III has a fondess for ending his statements with "Wot? Wot? Being Canadian, I like to think it's the 'Eh?' of his time. :lol: Our title is a quote...
Well?
So after years of effort I think I've finally infected my girlfriend with the "gun bug". We went last week and had her apply for her FOID card (an Illinois firearms owners card, required by law) and while we were at the gun shop we of course did a...
Get off your lazy asses guys.
While an educational lecture on video and definately not pr0n, one shouldn't watch it at work. The section about Danish farmers, which shows up at about the 10:45 mark is worth watching just for the audience reaction alone.
Yesterday was 10/10/10 and so lots of people did superstitious things because the data is so special. Apparently a lot of people wanted to get married on that date. Probably makes it harder to forget the anniversary. Newspapers ran stories on babies...
1. Official domebo anthrax attacks.
First off, I know some of y'all have left the Dope for good, and some of you post both places. That doesn't matter to me. Any more. It used to, when y'all first split, but now that I know that you didn't split away from me, it makes it...
We're nearly there! I'm thinking we can make it by sometime tomorrow if we try. As of writing this, we've got 1556 posts to go. C'mon! We can do it.
Well, the title says it all, pretty much. YAY!
How palindromic, even if you do put the month before the day. :p
http://www.phocks.org/stumble/creepy/ Just in case anyone is bored. Some of them are woo, and/or boring, many of them are faskinating.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahll8HMYPT8 These are awesome. I do not recall a show based on Fast Times at Ridgemont High. He's The Mayor looks interesting.
2000 posts as of this one right here. It took me in the neighborhood of 5 1/2 years at the Dope to hit whatever I had there, in the 8000's. At this rate I'm going to blow past that pretty quickly. That is all. :dumbo:
http://www2.tbo.com/news/offbeat/2011/may/17/4/wisconsin-man-ready-to-eat-his-25000th-big-mac-ar-208008/ What a strange way to earn fame. I remember, in the Eighties and into the Nineties, this guy in Chicago would camp out, beginning New...
It's the middle of the night and I'm awake, I'm find myself beset by a Greek chorus in my head, of what I call my "3 AM Thoughts." These are when the little voices of negative self-talk all come out and start to assail me. Rehashing the errors...
Idea stolen from ivan astikov during chat... What would it be like for three great minds from history, any 3, if they went out drinking together? Physicists going out for shots... *bartender slides first drink along the bar* Albert: Huh......
...this boy came forth. All hail the Ben.
Suggested by a conversation in chat. My folks were BIG coupon shoppers. My dad still is. My mother would never buy Oreos, even though buying the store brands she'd choose was demonstrably a waste of money; they'd simply never get eaten. So...
I got that "403" message and i just about freaked out. I'm happy to be back. (Happy Sigh)
Well, if they proved it happened on Mythbusters, it must be true! Forty years ago today, Neil Armstrong became the first human to walk on the moon. Way cool! Happy Anniversary, NASA, and congrats on that extraordinary feat! :)
Counting down to 500 and SEKRET CHATE. Help me make my final push!
It's always been my dream to see a swimming pool slosh in the aftermath of an earthquake. Well, I have now achieved it. I did not see what must have been a spectacular set of splashes and waves - when the house started rumbling and shaking (and...
:hoj: ? ? ===8 !!! :mad:
So, today a guy got his girlfriend LASIK at my clinic as a birthday present. He set up the appointment for her last week (without her knowing), came in early this morning to give us a gift bag, balloons, and card to give her, and then brought her...
Its a little late, but I just found out that Ed Grothus, founder of Black Hole Surplus of Los Alamos, passed away back in February of this year. :( NPR did a piece about him a year ago that's well worth a listen.
I know what you're thinking. 'How can one have "too many" cast iron pans?' Well, let's see... I have two 10-1/4" skillets, one Chinese, and one American. My mom gave me one of them, and it was used then. Probably the American one. I have a...
From the scientific and physiological point of view, the act of looking or gazing upon non-Mahram women sets off a complex process of hormonal stimulation and release, and prepares the body and the sex organs for the process of sexual intercourse. ...
that you wouldn't normally buy for yourself or can't afford. What do you pick? (It can be ANYTHING your heart desires.) Mine would probably be a 67 Corvette in mint condition. Always wanted one of those.
I live on a hill. He was riding downhill, moving pretty fast. Wait, I lied. He wasn't naked. He had on black shoes. I hope he had a towel on the seat or something.
Remember folks when going to the tattoo parlour to be really clear on what you are looking for otherwise what could have been a neat ornamentation could turn into a face full of stars. She's claiming she "fell asleep" having told the tattooist...
