- fire hose. -- nm - Max Sep 14, 10:28
- Run out and tell them they're late, rush them in, sit them down, give them an exam paper, and shush them when they protest. A la Bugs Bunny. -- nm - Fuzzy Sep 14, 10:25 1
  - Heh. -- nm - nubby Sep 14, 10:27
- Go out and ask them for a threesome - amoxy Sep 14, 10:23
- "Excuse me, but could you move along? Instead of answering the test questions, we're taking votes on what you should be doing about these loud issues - Will Hunting Sep 14, 10:22 1
  - Oh, I so wish. -- nm - nubby Sep 14, 10:27
- go fart in their general direction :) -- nm - JenBro Sep 14, 10:22
- no reason for creative, just ask them to move their conversation elsewhere. -- nm - Mobile Spawn Sep 14, 10:21 1
  - you are no fun at all. -- nm - znufrii Sep 14, 10:21
- water balloons -- nm - zork Sep 14, 10:09
- Go to the door, and yell "NO WAY!" as soon as one says something somewhat surprising -- nm - Guigue Sep 14, 10:08 1
  - Excellent idea. -- nm - nubby Sep 14, 10:09
- Walk into the hall naked and do the chicken dance. -- nm - ty97 Sep 14, 10:08
- is the talk about sex? - groiny Sep 14, 10:07 2
  - Sadly, no. - nubby Sep 14, 10:08 1
    - "excuse me girls, while I whip this out!" nm -- nm - groiny Sep 14, 10:11
My dad this morning: "I'm 99% Obama is going to win. I don't know why, but I'm resolved to it." - ty97 Sep 14, 10:06 2

How's this for timing? Middle east blowing up just as the pope arrives for a three-day trip -- (link) - znufrii Sep 14, 10:04
Quick question: does anyone care about the (replies) number beside each post, or could I move it into the IM? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 09:56 38 1
- the reason I ask ... - Beryllium Sep 14, 10:09 23
  - Leave it. -- nm - Mobile Spawn Sep 14, 10:22
  - I'd leave the favorited number off the page -- nm - prayformojo Sep 14, 10:15
  - GIVE US BOTH, DAMMIT! -- nm - ty97 Sep 14, 10:12
  - We can favorite posts? -- nm - spamlet Sep 14, 10:11 5
    - I haven't figure out how unfavorite them though. I haven't looked that hard though. -- nm - sycor Sep 14, 10:14 1
      - nevermind. After taking a few seconds to look it's pretty obvious. Derp. -- nm - sycor Sep 14, 10:15
    - It's next to the nsfw button -- nm - nubby Sep 14, 10:12 1
      - I seriously never noticed it until he just said it. - spamlet Sep 14, 10:14
    - *searches for "dislike" button* -- nm - Roger More Sep 14, 10:12
  - How many posts (on average per board) would get favourited? -- nm - Roger More Sep 14, 10:10 5
    - I am guessing it would morph into a Facebook Like Button functionality if the number was next to the post. -- nm - ty97 Sep 14, 10:13 4
      - People don't favorite now because...why bother? That would change with this change. -- nm - ty97 Sep 14, 10:14 3
        
        If we changed to this system, it would be good to have a "most favourited posts of the day/week/month" etc list - Roger More Sep 14, 10:17
        
        Right, right now the only effect is that things get thrown onto the Board Stats page that no one looks at -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 10:17 1
        
        I'm worried about the whole popularily-contest angle of favoriting, though -- nm - prayformojo Sep 14, 10:21
  - So then I ask... Does anyone "Favourite" a post? - Mop (198 lbs) Sep 14, 10:10 7
    - Your Stats. (I tend to favourite posts with links I plan to check out later, not actual favourites) -- nm - Roger More Sep 14, 10:11 6

        I just use Instapaper like I do for the rest of the web. -- nm - spamlet Sep 14, 10:18
        
        No, you be smokin' hash and then tagging -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 10:17

My favourite subplot of the Danish cartoon fiasco was when some paper in a Muslim country decided they were going to make anti-Semitic cartoons - Reagen Sep 14, 09:52 4
- *laughing* -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 14, 10:12
- Who would think there was a high correlation between anti-Semitism and a lack of creativity? -- nm - Roger More Sep 14, 10:04
- excellent -- nm - zork Sep 14, 09:56

Hmmmm. So should I bite the bullet and order the iPhone and wait two weeks or go to the store? I can't wait in line. - volnelk Sep 14, 09:45 3
- Past history indicates you should be able to walk in that weekend and get one. - spamlet Sep 14, 09:46 2
  - Sounds good. They are basically right by each other. -- nm - volnelk Sep 14, 09:49 1

I feel the Voice and X-Factor are apples and oranges. I like each for different reasons, but I dislike X-Factor for one reason that I like the Voice. - Mop (198 lbs) Sep 14, 09:37 8
- Here's Britney's duet with Don Philips, the X-Factor guy. -- (link) - Mop (198 lbs) Sep 14, 10:16
- The Voice, even if the person is bad, is giving good feedback that if the person is really serious, can use to get better. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 14, 09:57
