"With all due respect..."
What do you wish for? Be warned! Making too large of a wish might result in wild paradoxes as the well attempts to grant them all at once. Small ones are best.
Well?

Let's say you had the opportunity to go on a three-day mission on the space shuttle. Would you go?
Since Campionaki didn't include us female types in his thread ;). I earned a bunch of badges, as I mentioned in his thread, but they seem to have been lost over the years. I do remember earnimg ones for sewing, cooking, camping, and swimming. ...
So, I was a Boy Scout and accrued several merit badges through my tenure as such. Oliveloaf mentioned in another thread that he had the printing merit badge, and so I ask, what merit badges did you earn as a Boy Scout, and which was your favorite? ...
I'd asked about great teenage adventures in the interview game thread and OneCentStamp gave this amazing reply: The summer before 10th grade, I took a hiking/canoeing trip in northern Minnesota with my Boy Scout troop, who also were my circle of...
I'm not and I never have. It's the anniversary of my dad's funeral (great way to ruin the holiday for a kid on the cusp of adolescence) and so I've never done much except think about that. If I'm feeling particularly moved, I might get flowers for...
It's a bit late, cause I suck, but happy birthday! :dumbo:
Blue or green?
That is all.
For some reason when typing fast "from" becomes "form" and "does not" becomes "doe snot". and the spell checker doesn't even pick it up. :( so what are your typing bugbears?
Italian Loan: An Italian walked into a bank in New York City and asked for the loan officer. He told the loan officer that he was going to Italy on business for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000...
A lot of women I communicate with (especially online) sign off with 'xxx'. I'm lead to believe the xxx stands for kisses. So, if I'm not romantically involved with this woman/these women, what's the appropriate response? If I ignore it, as if it's...
Even though it's probably yesterday by now. Happy Birthday.
Which one will it be?
OK, short version with only relevant details: Plaintiff is suing defendant for falsely accusing her of assault and for posting compromising pictures of her on the Yahoo! business listing for their workplace. The altercation in which the assault...
I talked a bit about showing/breeding rabbits in my Ask thread, and if there's two things I love it's taking pictures of animals and hearing myself talk. So, this thread will detail the process of making rabbits and doing things with them. This...
He's leaving me in the dust. So...ask me anything, I'll answer it.
Don't tease us, Phil. :dubious:
The history books usually tell the stories about the grand and important people, but I've always found the little tidbits on the less noticed folks more interesting. Share any figures you find really fascinating--the more obscure, the better. The...
Or, you know, kinda wonder if they might be true? Which ones kind of intrigue you?
Hey hey gang. I got poked the other day and asked to drop in again, so here I am! How's everybody doing? Apparently I haven't posted since the beginning of December. Of course I've got a killer excuse. My mom slipped on a patch of ice and broke...
And the pigeon won. Apparently it dropped a piece of bread in the LHC causing to to heat up to a point where it would stop superconducting. Fortunately, it was during testing after last years problems occured. More Here The theory that...
So long to the year of the Tiger and welcome to the year of the Rabbit. The main celebrations in London are being held on Sunday. Should be quite a show.
Sticks brought Formspring.me to our attention and it's turned out to be sort of entertaining. My profile and all the nonny questions I've answered here. So far I've seen Sticks, Myrna, Marsilia, and Elyanna on there. Anybody else using it? What...
And what will you do to entertain yourselves (other than post on Mellophant, of course)? The kids don't have school, so I promised them we'd bake cupcakes. And if the snow stops, or at least the wind stops whipping around, we'll go out in the...
In the name of making things open and transparent, British police have collated all their crime details and launched their new crime map site where you can see where all the bad people live and all the crime was reported. Of course, the site has...
I grabbed this just now from the ksl.com classifieds, which is basically the Craigslist of Utah.
My husband and I were commenting the other day that houseplants seemed really common back in the 70s (both our moms had them), but that you don't seem them too much these days. Anyone here have any?
We still receive warden messages from Cairo even though it has been 3 years since we lived there. (Apparently the US Embassy has superdooper special Internet because theirs is working - we have not been able to reach friends there.) So they are...
Really. He's about 5 now. He puts his bunny on the floor and goes at it. So far, his parents aren't doing anything to stop him. (They will get to do something else if he does it in front of others, but they don't reprimand him.) I'm...
Just how open are you with your spouse/significant other? Will you pee in front of them? Will you poop in front of them?
This is my 2500 post. Seriously, it's only been a couple of years, and I wouldn't say I was that heavy a poster. So what have I been posting on? I blame the D&D :D
Just mix and match elements of your favorite thread titles! It's Fun 'n Easy(tm)! I'll start: Ask me about sandwich cookies!
Ever since I was a small child I've held the theory that in the midst of their grief over John Lennon, the nurses at the hospital accidentally switched me with another newborn. These conversations are why. Rather than incriminate the ignorant,...
I tend to carry a lot of cash. I got into this habit a long time ago when I was forced to bank with an out-of-state entity in order to enjoy direct deposit. Since the only free ATM was so far from my house, I would "stock up" on cash to minimize...
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...
This is inspired by a comment I read on another board. A woman's MIL died, and she doesn't have anything to wear to the funeral. My first reaction was huh...a grown person with NOTHING funeral-appropriate in her closet? Course, maybe she's gained...
It's my own stupid fault for leaving back door open. They didn't get anything and to be honest I think they got more of a fright than I did. Fucking pricks! I called the local constabulary and they swiftly arrived. Witness saw a young fellow...
GO GO GO!
Perhaps it's the lurker's own fault if they feel left out. But I am a kind and gentle soul, and wish to make this a more lurker-friendly environment. So here's to those shy little devils, skulking in the shadows, or floating upon waves of voyeurism....
Is it thrifty or cheap to save gift bags and reuse them? We've got some sturdier models that have been making the rounds from house to house for at least five years, but even the cheapest ones you can get a couple uses before they fall apart. It...
You are a military pilot and are flying a jet over a city when it malfunctions and a crash is imminent. You can, of course, eject yourself and potentially survive, but decisions must be made first. On its present course, the jet will crash into...
/waits for the crowd to gather Yeah, that's about it. The wayward sheep returned, the lost keys found in the usual pocket, etc. The past few months have been eventful but mostly brilliant. Finally got the apartment I've been working for the...
