Sorry, a bit distracted, will think of a poll when I get a chance.

Oh, by the way - HOCKEY IS BACK!!!!

Yes I'm distracted. I'm also GIDDIER than Tai after she got done kissing Dora!

It seems we have a guest strip coming up sometime soon: see here and here.

Border Reiver · « **Reply #2 on:** 06 Jan 2013, 12:41 »

jw - it's a game, get over it. If you need your fix, I'm sure there's a couple of kids willing to play on the street...

Method of Madness · « **Reply #3 on:** 06 Jan 2013, 14:55 »

Yeah, but he likes the game and it's back, no shame in being happy about that.

jwhouk · « **Reply #4 on:** 06 Jan 2013, 15:12 »

I had HS hockey available to me. It ain't the same.

Carl-E · « **Reply #5 on:** 06 Jan 2013, 15:27 »

Yeah, not as much force behind the hits with little highschoolers...

Wait...

jwhouk · « **Reply #6 on:** 06 Jan 2013, 16:26 »

A friend of mine put it best: "My hockey parents got back together today! We're a hockey family again!"

On that note - I am seriously stumped for a poll question. Any ideas out there?

We have not seen Pintsize since he started spitting out the Fibonacci sequence... is he still all ...

Did anyone else read this and think of the South Park episode where the Colorado Avalanche play against the South Park Pee-Wee team?

I thought it was the other way around, but maybe it just means I should watch it again.

edit - just looked it up on Wikipedia, and you are right. I guess I need to rewatch it tonight.

Pintsize is eternal.

So are the Fibonacci numbers.

Yes, but not Tom Hanks and that...thing on his head.

What ?!?!?

... you have to tip the pizza service ?!?!

Not in my own country, as far as I know.

pwhodges · « **Reply #16 on:** 07 Jan 2013, 02:03 »

Beep boop!

I do computer. Things. I do, too.

techkid · « **Reply #17 on:** 07 Jan 2013, 02:07 »

Beep. I study computer things. I haven't yet learnt about the boop.

First time I've watched the streaming. It was interesting to watch. But some of the random stuff people talk about in the chat...

Loki · « **Reply #18 on:** 07 Jan 2013, 02:13 »

I gotta go to study beep boop thingies in like... two hours. Don't wanna.

Soulsynger · « **Reply #19 on:** 07 Jan 2013, 02:15 »

In Soviet Russia, computers beep boop you.

edit:
I just realized I used the word "Russia" in my 666th post.

Heranje · « **Reply #20 on:** 07 Jan 2013, 02:45 »

Definitely changing my CV entry to Beep Boop Intern

Loki · « **Reply #21 on:** 07 Jan 2013, 02:46 »

Now that Dale has asked it, I have to wonder: What does Marigold do for a living?

Mr. Doctor · « **Reply #22 on:** 07 Jan 2013, 03:12 »

Runs her dad's website. I can't find the comic though but someone will probably do it.

I'm so glad you spotted this, the first thing I thought of when I read Jeff's note was 'Ooooh, pwhodges beep boops!'

Akima · « **Reply #24 on:** 07 Jan 2013, 03:40 »

I beep boop, and have for some years. Not as many as PWH though...

Carl-E · « **Reply #25 on:** 07 Jan 2013, 03:55 »

Not as many beeps, or boops?

Barmymoo · « **Reply #26 on:** 07 Jan 2013, 03:57 »

I only tip the pizza delivery guy if the pizza arrives on time, still warm, with all the correct toppings, and I don't have to go out of my way to fetch it from the other side of the building because they can't understand "please can you drive down the road to the third car park on the right?". So, never.

Welu · « **Reply #27 on:** 07 Jan 2013, 04:09 »

I only tip by rounding up to the nearest pound and letting them keep the change, so they're only getting around a pound or usually a bit less. That's what my parents did. Although a lot have the change ready assuming you'll pay with a note and in that case it usually happens so fast they're gone before I'm done saying, "Thanks."

I regularly Beep! but not for computer reasons. (see under my avatar and my intro thread.)

Found it.

Either Jeph made a mistake in colouring Hannelore's skin that time, or Hannelore deliberately reapplied the spray-on tan to herself.

Maybe it's an OCD thing; it wears off in patches and she keeps reapplying it because she can't bear patchiness?
Is it weird that I sort of like that explanation?

Years? Never heard of them. Are we using the Gregorian calendar or the Sumerian boop?

I vote that for canon.

Yelling Bird is known for its saxophone playing in beepboop bands.
Recommended listening: Yellaby of Birdland.

DSL · « **Reply #35 on:** 07 Jan 2013, 06:43 »

Speaking of beeping and booping and foul-mouthed little dick ... cissels, it seems Yelling Bird exists across time and space.

cesium133 · « **Reply #36 on:** 07 Jan 2013, 06:55 »

Apparently beep boop includes physics as well, so I guess I beep boop also.

Bluesummers · « **Reply #37 on:** 07 Jan 2013, 07:04 »

She might be a professional gamer. I mean, those games online that you have to pay an entry fee to play, but you keep the pot (minus website fees) if you win. I had a friend a few years back who would do that...that's literally all she did all day. Her apartment looked like Marigold's, before the Hannelorian Revolution, and she grossed about $8,000 per month. Invested most of it in stocks.

Sidhekin · « **Reply #38 on:** 07 Jan 2013, 07:41 »

Um, what year is it now? 2013, wasn't it?

Then, indeed, I have been beep booping professionally for 15 years.

Well timed, Jeph Jaques. Well timed.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #39 on:** 07 Jan 2013, 07:41 »

Definitely read that as "invested most of it in socks".

I have been informed by my more electronic gaming savvy friends that you can get paid to play WoW in some places.

I wish I knew how to do computer things. It is a miracle I can do this.

Carl-E · « **Reply #43 on:** 07 Jan 2013, 09:31 »

People who are paid to do so are called Gold Farmers.

Hence the pun in Marigold Farmer's name.

Out of curiosity: Do you recall what specific game she played?

We have seen previously that Marigold's antipathy to Dale is because he plays Alliance and she plays Horde in WoW. Dale is winding her up.

I've had a look around your online stuff, but just can't work out what KAEAWC might mean or stand for... Nor why it might be relevant at this point!
