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...
Why does the laundry always end up on the floor next to the laundry basket, rather than in the laundry basket?
Yeah, so like RPG because the rules are one RL anecdote or observation per post, limit is one paragraph. Or whatever. And totally obey the rules, because whatever, something bad or something and it's totally super serious. And also try to...
Sociological commentary optional. Yeah, and whatever, define "old" however you want. I hate that shit, like "eh bleh this is *my* thread I'm so special!" After all, isn't it forbidden to forbid, in an egalitarian society? Yeah, so what I was...
It could be a low-income apartment rental complex, or a high-income subdivison of inflatable McMansions. The only rule is that it must be devoid of any character whatsoever. Now that your real estate project is completely indistinguishable from...
Yeah, so now I'm seriously anti-anti-anti-anti-mellow about new seasons of TV shows. I'll even include some ones still-on-the-radar-but-not-that-much-care. THIS IS AN OFFICIAL THREAD ABOUT REAL STUFF SO DON'T FUCK UP!!!!! Robot Chicken Bob's...
I invite Western people who do not know the Prophet Mohammed and deal dishonorable and absurd qualifiers, read the comments of European scientists and research related to the Koran and the Prophet; The prophet peace be upon him says: (day of...
Meh. Went all the way out to a Walmart at just-before-midday in an exurb/suburb. Freeway driving all the way. Which I hate. But, I haven't forgotten how. I suppose it wasn't fruitless -- I desired a second mattress/boxspring cover to...
Y'know the type. Like "If I didn't have bad luck I'd have no luck at all." These are like guilty pleasures to me, jokes that are so bad I have to chuckle. I heard a new one tonight, "I had a car that hit everything except the lottery." So...
It seems that over the last couple of decades that age of the icon is coming to an end. The people who used to appear larger than life and inspire those around have been replaced by an ever increasing idenitkit line of celebrity, where the only way...
I've decided to augment the correct use of an umbrella, in rainy weather, with some sort of hat. I'm not going to wear a fedora, nor anything that looks too-outdoorsy...when I go hiking, I use my own gear, which is not, IMO, appropriate gear for a...
Say you'd decided to let your corpse be used for experimental purposes, what would you like them to do with it, if you could stipulate the circumstances? I'd like my lungs to be dried out, placed into a bong and smoked to see if they'd get you...
Mostly, I just want to pad my post count, and I'm not creative enough to do it without help! Ask me stuff about me, or random stuff I might or might not know. It doesn't matter! Just, give me stuff to answer. :dumbo:
Avoiding the obvious ones like stocks or horse betting tips, I'd give the 18 year old me the following advice: 1) Stop going to your parents' church. You haven't believed it since you were 8 or 9; every year you delay admitting it to yourself...
I haven't done this on the 'old' boards until now, so here's K.K. Fusion!
I had fun with a similar thread on the Dope, so with no further ado, the first 12 rules. Please add your own or those for your state, city or area. 1. First, you must learn how to pronounce Newark....It is New-erk, not New-ark. (Actually, it's...

Get off your lazy asses guys.
Manly Wade Wellman is the greatest name in the history of names.
I ordered and paid for a hamburger with my phone. Which, sure, welcome to the present, Pops, but it still made me happy that I'm doing better than the Jetsons.
Yeah, I had a fucked up dream two days ago. I was in a recording studio, at a session being led by a Hammond organist, with me on piano, and at least a drummer and guitarist. Very vivid, but not really a pants-down-at-the-prom thing. Just...
Hello!
Scientific research confirms the benefits of scents and their role in the activation of brain cells for the storage of information .... In the new German research conducted by scientists recently found that smells like the smell of fragrant...
Suppose we were to conduct a poll of self confessed zoophiles, what would be the most common animal they would be attracted to? My thought would be dog, based solely on some creepy erotic fiction I accidentally stumbled across. Yes, accidentally,...
Always one on the British calendar and yet it is one of the few dates that has no religious significance behind it. The other holidays and festivals all really appear to have come a religious source at some point and are merely carried on in some...
2012 has arrived. A time for reflecting on the year gone by and looking forward to the year yet to come. According to some people, the Mayan calendar says this will be the final year before it all ends. I hope they are as accurate as some other...

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...
I've just received a nice shiny brochure inviting me to become a member of Phi Theta Kappa, the "official honor society for two-year colleges by the American Association of Community Colleges". It's $75 for a lifetime membership. Is this useful to...
I'm married to a woman I love and am trying to convince myself that she loves me too. Part of me is worried that I'm being an idiot. Okay, that's the brief version, now here's the long. My wife suffers from bipolar disorder. She has been...
I'm really good at it, it's such a shame. I read an interesting thread, feel compelled to add my two cents to the topic, and there it goes to the bottom. Sunk. I don't mean to kill threads, I swear, it just, sorta, happens. Anyways, I'm sure no...
Hi, This is a little cheeky as I haven't posted over here for ages, but some people might like to know I have released some of my written work on Amazon. The author name is "Douglas Porter", and it turns out there is another author or two by that...
Cats hold a special place to the Muslims, since Prophet Muhammad is very fond of cats. One story mentioned that a cat saved Prophet Mohammad from being bitten by a deadly snake. There was also a story of the Prophet cutting off his shirt...
In a Catholic/Lutheran (LCMS if it matters) relationship, which member of the couple should convert? IOW: who has to change the most in their beliefs to convert?
So yesterday my kid and I had breakfast at a downtown diner, the one we always go to when we're going to get our hair cut (the barbers are right around the corner). The waitress offers us the only window seat. Even though it's kind of a small...

Pork has very little muscle building material and contains excess of fat. This fat gets deposited in the vessels and can cause hypertension and heart attack. It is not surprising that over 50% of Americans suffer from hypertension Another...
We had them on the house when I was growing up. I think they were the vinyl kind. After awhile the edges started to crack and warp, and they became highly popular shelters for the local yard lizards. Are there really any good arguments in favor...
Inspired by something some Ozzer said in a TNP, something about resolutions for new years or whatever bullshit. I was looking back at some stuff not too long ago about what I was thinking (substitute "whatever/whoever/whomever" for "I," it...
I mentioned to a friend of mine the other day that my son had grown so much that his pants were all floods, and I had to go out and get him new ones. My friend was all like, "floods?" Apparently he had never heard that term. He grew up in...
Inspired by: I think she was there... I don't think she said or did much. They were all just standing there with annoyed weirded out looks on their faces. Well, there goes my "dreams" for tonight. At least that bastard Riker won't...oh...
Why do certain colleges not award terminal MA/MS degrees? Is it because they're worried about losing the cheap labor of doctoral students? What if a student doesn't aspire to academia, but a BA/BS isn't enough education for their desired position?
Obvious rules, just like word association, but with images! First: Away you go.
From here. Apparently a couple in the UK was dining with their two year old girl and on their check the server documented that their kid was a little fucker. I can understand why the parents were distressed, but I lawled pretty hard. The...
I was watching a spider crawl up my bathroom wall tonight and it occurred to me that I don't mind spiders in the slightest. Spiders are our friends, they eat insects and don't really fuck around with me in any way. I don't know, maybe it was...
This is HW related but tangentially. For an assignment on the Magna Carta, I need to do a write up as if I were pitching a TV program to the history channel, and I'm trying to think up a good production company name. Anybody have any brilliant or...
So, who does a shemale appeal to? Are shemales a "gateway" gender for guys who wont admit they re gay? If you're a woman into shemales, are you...straight? If lady-like men with breasts are a legit fetish, why aren't flat woman who look...
How would you handle this situation: You're in a white-collar entry level interview, and have a long planned vacation that occurs the week you start (for purposes of this hypothetical a honeymoon). Am I correct that asking for immediate vacation...
