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...
My boyfriend has my engagement ring but hasn't given it to me yet! How should I feel? My boyfriend and I have looked at engagement rings and due to his comments I think he has already picked it up. I know he is waiting until the perfect time to...
Hostile Dialect invited me about the beginning of March, & I've been considering signing up. The first time I started to, I got hung up on what my username would be here. I thought of just keeping it the same for clarity, but tonight I finally...
Or at least, the vernal equinox was this morning and today we have 12 hours and 8 minutes of daylight here. The forsythia are big balls of yellow now and a few of the trees are starting to poke a few green buds out. Since we lucked into a pretty...
So? Got'cher green on?!? Prove it here!
Counter-productive, costly, morale-killing rules...they're everywhere! I was reading through What time does work really start? when I saw this:I used to work for a large engineering company. They had a written policy that you should be at your...
or where you work or go to school. Show us your house or office, your street, your car, your grocery store. Whatever you think is characteristic of the locale where you spend your time these days. Post some pictures of the world around you. ...
This is the first time I've chosen an avatar for any reason, and I'm wondering if I should keep using this one or one of the others I was considering. Instead of constantly changing it around, I figured I'd ask you all. The one I'm using at the...
Nope, this isn't a poll and that was a rhetorical question. This is just a reminder that you don't need to die to be an organ donor. There are people right now who desperately need that bit of you that your body will regenerate, like bone marrow and...
Only five guests, but they can be anyone, dead or alive, and for one special evening (where you may or may not burn the roast, they don't care) they will be sitting around your table for better or worse. So who do you invite? My picks: 1. &...
Diagonal? Down the middle? Halves or quarters? Me, I don't give a shit, especially if someone else has made it for me. If I make it, I just cut it down the middle because it tastes the same no matter what and takes less focus than trying to get a...
Yup, they did it, it happened, and it was beautiful and fun. Tonya was gorgeous, Paul was handsome and dashing, and the reception was a total blast! (Although Tonya? By the end of the night, James (her neighbour) was so drunk that he promised me he...
According to ABC News: Two pilots of a Northwest Airlines flight Wednesday were apparently so distracted that they missed their airport and kept flying for 150 miles before landing the plane and its 147 passengers safely. For one hour and...
And she does it with class and finesse, as usual. Yes, that's right, HRH Tonya ushered in the Big Four-Oh thirty-six minutes ago with nary a whine nor groan as her bones creaked off to bed. While the government may consider her to be the 40 years as...
If any of you are also Gweebers, then you have heard the news. I have found the person with whom I can live without driving her crazy, and she thinks I'm awesome. The best part is, so is she! So we're getting hitched..kinda. It's not legal for two...
:hoj: ? ? ===8 !!! :mad:
Okay, I confess, I'm a lazy bastard. I don't hang up my dress pants when I get off of work. Usually they get sentenced to hanging over the back of one of the chairs in my bedroom, or being stowed atop other pants on my disused ironing board. In...
Poll question: Would you give up sexual activity for the rest of your life if it saved a total stranger from a gruesome death? This question seems to come out from left field, but I'd like people to answer as honestly as possible and why. After...
So after years of wimping out, I've finally decided to take a stab at lucid dreaming. Before I start, however, I'd like to ask those of you who have had success with lucid dreaming a few questions: What method(s) did you employ? How easy or...
I'll be 30 in July (dear God) and I'm feeling the smooth, supple skin of my face and body start to roughen up, feel tight, and dry out. Yes, I'm a guy -- I've always been proud of my smooth skin. Is there anything I can do or good skin care...
Yes, I know it's not the right time; however, to welcome the new board I would be happy to set up a White Elephant exhange for DoMeBo. Yes, you've caught me - the real reason is I have a storage closet full of crap that I'm dying to send off to...
So, I had a particularly craptastic day at work yesterday. When I left I was light headed and had a throbbing headache. I stopped and checked my BP at one of those drugstore things - 148/90. Last time I donated blood at the office it was 144/88....
I was up early this AM to feed the cats. (4:45am). I went back to bed and Schatzi the Wonderkitty joined me. He snuggled up in my neck and started sucking on my cheek. Not licking. Not nibbling. Sucking. I didn't have the heart to stop him - I'm...
Obviously, the best answer is to just avoid them; however, that is not always possible. Case in point - I'm a bit of a shopper. I replace my wardrobe about twice a year. The old stuff I take to a particular consignment store to recycle. It used...
I'm not sure why, really. Could be PMS. Could be the vague, kept me home from work, feeling like crap but not sure why, Oh my friggin' god is that the flu coming on, type of crappyness that's happening. Could be the phone call with the woman I...
how many can we expect here? God knows the statistics published by the SDMB are crap (88,000 users? Riiiiight), so what's a better idea of the number of current, active users? 3,000? 2,000? 5,000? What percentage could be expected to make the...
I love passive-aggressive notes. Here is a collection of them. It's freaking awesome. http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages ... 644?ref=mf
I am unable to achieve an erection over this. Tell me how this is different from Facebook or 10 billion other social networking sites. I'm enthusiastically in favor of internet time sinks, so what am I not getting here?
...which will detect falling objects that contain nicotine and teleports them back to the approximate location from which they were dropped. Thus, a cigarette butt will be teleported onto the lap of the person who dropped it. OK, your turn. ...
OK, I have no problem with folks plastering their kids everywhere, the cute buggers. I'd do the same if I had them. But there is something eerie to me about people using their own kids' photos as their Facebook avatars. To me it seems...
or, How I saved $1.28 Well, the title is misleading. It would be entirely true if my name were HalfWalker, but as it is not I did not live up to my name. The short version of my story is - I walked home from a job interview today, thus saving one...
Everyone, Jagman is a friend of mine from highschool - a real brain type, clever and funny. In short, the perfect Domer. Let's make him welcome, everybody - he will be along shortly to introduce himself.
Think about it - assigning an extra number to your age for every year you are alive doesn't make as much sense as it should. The difference between a 65 year old and a 75 year old is less than between a 20 and 30 year old, which is less than between...
... have anything in their location field is Liberal. The Domer with the highest postcount who lacks a title is WhyNot.
Inspired by this thread, of course. I'm most like me, I suppose. Yes! Great 500th post!
Go on, just blindly paste into the reply box. What comes out? Mine is from a game I am working on. Consumed on use.
Don't be so ubiquitous. You smell like a skunk that's taken a long walk off a short pier. Your mum called - apparently, last night I gave her rabies. You're as dumb as the guy who chooses the yellow army in Risk. Acid reflux? More like,...
Whenever entering a password into my computer, I struggle not to think of the letters as I type them. That way, any nearby telepaths will be unable to access my email account. You never know.
I'm feeling silly, and have the urge to launch a poll, so go figure. Classic mermaid - human torso, fish tail Inverted mermaid - fish torso, human legs Classic centaur - human torso, horse body Inverted centaur - horse torso, human legs ...
Bored as I was, I sorted all users by their total post count, highest posters at the top. I was half way down page five. Given the number of posters with well over ten times my post count, I imagine it will be hard to catch up. (Woo! Here...
Assuming you have some level of control, appropriate for the creature, what creatures would best assist a modern day military? What is defined as appropriate is up to you, but some examples are obvious. Dragons could be trained to be riden, but a...
or, How to abolish timezone differences. Here is a rough sketch of the world as it is: Yes, it looks very nice. But look at all that wasted space! I'm sick of all these timezone differences. I'm sick of saying "good night" at 3pm, and "good...
Found here: http://stupidfilter.org/demo.php Shame it doesn't work too well. I like the idea, and I am hopeful, but this does not filter stupidity. "This sucks." Text is not likely to be stupid. "Dis suxxors" Text is not likely to be...
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......
Well? For convenience's sake, I suggest we use the definition offered on Wikipedia: The Jargon File, which describes itself as a "Hacker's Dictionary" and has thrice been published under that name, puts grok in a programming context: ...
I like talking physics about fantasy, but I love catgirls. Stupid God. :(
they really understand the young and cool people - look what they've named their new snack omgrofl. Seriously, I'd type it out but it makes me cringe. Go see for yourself. They said they had 48 000 suggestions. This competition has been...
Inspired by this story, where a guy could not get his car to go below 80 km/hr (50 miles per hour) even after killing the ignition. Nothing quite that bad for me, but I would like to bring up the time I was just entering a roundabout when...
Maths genius discovers why singles can't find love Long story short, this guy used mathematics to calculate the odds of finding his dream woman. The odds come out to be 1 in 285,000, when using the Drake Equation, a tool used to estimate the...
<AllWalker> imagine if humans were parasitic... we would have long ago bred animals specifically for breeding in them <AllWalker> "you were born from a cow? ew! mum insisted i was born inside a horse, like all proper people" ...
This Sunday, give your significant other a bunch of fireworks. A word of warning, though - since the Year of the Tiger is starting on Valentine's Day, keep your wife away from golf courses. If you are tempted to make a joke about finding "tlue...
