We must have the same mom. - Katy S

Wait. Your mom is my mother-in-law? - ha3rvey (Hugs 50% off!) from fftogo

i'm more impressed by the biking naked - SteVe C

What's the difference between this and resistance settings? - Mo Kargas

Not much - Johnny from iPhone

Surely ankle weights would have little or no effect on the effort expended on a bike? You know, because the one pedal is directly connected to the other, so the weight on one leg is counterbalanced by the weight on the other leg. If anything, I'd say the weights would give you a slight assist. - Slippy

My thighs respectfully disagree :) - Johnny from iPhone

It works as an opposite. While yes the extra weight would help on the down stroke, I still have to lift my other leg with the weight on it. I eaither have all that weight on the up pedal whicj means I have to push it up on the down stroke or lift my leg with the weight on it. Add to that I now have 2Kg strapped to each ankle, that forces me to adjust my balance, working my core. - Johnny from iPhone

Might get some and see what a difference it makes - Mo Kargas

I can get that, and I'm not going to argue with your thighs, obviously, but the weight on your left foot on its downstroke is assisting the right foot in its upstroke. I think. My physics-fu is rusty from years without training. Of course, if you lift off the pedal on the upstroke, you're making both legs work at the same time, increasing the workload throughout. - Slippy

buuuut also increasing the chance you'll fall off the exercycle. - Slippy

I think Slippy is right. All the work is on the downstroke, and that is alternated between the legs. While one works, the other rests. That's how you ride a bike. - April

for the record, Johnny is also wearing nipple weights. But we aren't sure why - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

*reads last line* *SELF: memory.get(lastline).delete()* - Mo Kargas

Hardcore - Shevonne

Whaaaaaaaaaat? - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

This just turned from a joke into a mission! - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

I've been wanting to watch Heathers for about 2 years now, but none of our local video stores have it. I'm not a member of Netflix or anything, so I haven't been able to watch it. :( - Curdy G

I own the DVD. It is that important to me - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

This is totally going to happen, eventually. lol - <3Heather<3

a night of awesome movies and gaming galore! - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

All round Joe's for a "Heathers"fest? I'll have to participate by telepresence though. - Slippy

I also own the DVD. Love Heathers. - Alan

This is making me lol. - Mary Carmen

It would totally mess with very one I know who isn't on FF lol - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

The odd thing is that Facebook will show (at least some) relationships even if the other party doesn't consent O_o (I have some cousins I refuse to acknowledge - my sibs know better than to try that ish on me). - Tinfoil 2.0

you can mark cousins now? - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

I had someone who is not a cousin mark me as one and I still had to approve it? - holly #ravingfangirl

With a list like that, how will you ever chose? - Shannon - GlassMistress

Can I mark someone as a cousin AND a spouse?? - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

Party like it's 1999 - Eric

I'd like to keep my job, Joe. - Derrick

D. Want me to come in and anonymously slap anyone who is out of line for you? They don't have to know we know each other, just give me the nod towards the offender and it will be done! - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

I wasn't offended, I just wonder why of all songs to sing, they were singing that one. - Derrick

*backflips in the sand* - Rodfather

that song is not acceptable unless the singer is either A) visibly wearing a thong. or B) doing backflips while singing it. - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

Uhm, cuz that song is the business? HelllOOO. LOL - Rah-PM 2012 from Android

Dammit Rod! You beat me to the backflip! - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

I'll probably go home and listen to it now. - Derrick

with or without the Foxy Brown rap insert? - Eric

I don't think I ever heard any version with Foxy Brown, which is fine by me. - Derrick

She rhymes Thong Song with shake my Bon-Bon. - Eric

^haha - Michael W. May

^^ truth. I literally squealed. - joey

so now I'm in an awkward position. I want to keep playing. But not on my friends account lol. So I may cut myself off til I can get myself a copy (Improv classes come first) So that is why I haven't met up with anyone in game yet. Ooh, but important question! If I go with a Smuggler, do I eventually get a kickass trenchcoat? - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

From what I have read, the Rebel classes have armor that is what you would expect them to have, so it could be likely. - Chris Topher

My smuggler (at level 30) has a longcoat. Doesn't look like a trenchcoat, but it reminds me of Mal so that's good enough. - Arlan K.

Chaps with fringe - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

I've seen navel lint that's more helpful than yooz guyz. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

I'm not trying to be funny. I've been speaking to a lot of triathletes and they wear triathlon race suits ( which is made from the same material as bike pants) cause they can transition from the swim to the bike leg and it's dry within seconds. You're going to get wet anyway... but the key it to have a quick drying and semi-waterproof solution. - Johnny

Yes, but "bike pants" is entirely too generic. Are we talking about tights shorts? Thermal tights? Bib tights? Full leg tights? It's kind of like if someone asked me where to find J-Wo and I said "Australia". - Scoble, Alex Scoble

I'm looking at stuff from Pearl Izumi, Showers Pass, Gore, etc. and trying to find something that would fit with the rides that I'm likely to do. Bike season is about to start at work. :D - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Is it cold where you live? Buy long bike pants. Is it not? Get shorts. #ThatEasy - Johnny

The difficult with bike rain pants is that they often don't breathe. So you get wet inside just from your own sweat pooling up against a waterproof surface. - Spidra Webster

My $11 training pants I got from our local Walmart equivalent has vents built in. - Johnny

If I were going to design a bike pant, I'd design one that was waterproof or water resistant on the front but breathable in the back. On an upright, the tops of your thighs are where you'll get the most rain anyway. It's important to get fenders. They'll take care of a lot of the mess. - Spidra Webster

So, business in the front, party in the back? - Eric

LOL, Johnny, it's rainy and coldish (45-55 deg F most of the year). - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Then you want long pants. - Johnny

I bike wearing only a sock. - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

PROVE IT! - Scoble, Alex Scoble

http://yourspecialkid.com/centsor... - Johnny

Come to Hawthorne sometime! - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

Lol Johnny - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

Yup, Eric. A lot like chaps. - Spidra Webster

If you've got money to burn: http://bit.ly/wPvCgJ, http://bit.ly/xboNoZ or http://bit.ly/ykvTTR - ronin

I would wear a car. Solves the rain problem completely :-) - Todd Hoff

Doesn't solve the spare tire, Todd, or getting a sore butt from doing a 15 mile ride because your ass is out of shape. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

They have tires now that don't deflate so you don't need a spare :-) - Todd Hoff

If you get really cold when riding, pee in your pants. - ☆ Mellyboo ☆

By the looks of this guy, he's lost more than one nut... - Johnny

Moose. Knuckle. O.O - Brent from iPhone

His hosiery is bunching - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

He forgot his chamois! - Scoble, Alex Scoble

♫ "Moooose knuckle...flowwwing to the sea..."♫ - Joe The Sausage

I'd rather not (no offence, Alex!) - ☆ Mellyboo ☆

*airdrops sickbags* - Mo Kargas

I love you too much to argue with this, Johnny. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Cause you would be wrong, Alex. - Johnny

DICK - ☆ Mellyboo ☆

That's why I expressly said "COMIC BOOK MOVIES" and not "SUPERHERO MOVIES". This is a very close and 'true to spirit' adaptation of the Chester Gould comics. It never took itself to seriously and never tried to be anything it couldn't be. It was a straight-up comic book movie. - Johnny

LOL, stop poking me! - Scoble, Alex Scoble

When do we eat? - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

wasn't there a shark? - Joe The Sausage

Are hiding in the Lost & Found box again? Is my coat there? - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

I find this usually helps: http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Johnny

Heh. Definitely kinda silly to me. If you can't say it when they're dead, you shouldn't have been saying it while they were living. - Rah-PM 2012

But what about the corollary, if you weren't saying it while they were alive, why do you need to say it when they're dead? - Jimminy, CoG of FF

why does "Mirror, Mirror" Spock look more like McCoy, tho? - Joe The Sausage

I've gotta be honest, as much as I love Star Trek...I don't really wanna see his face when I'm looking at a naked woman's chest. That'd be too distracting. - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

holly! - Michelle M

what?!?! i have a lot of snark. :D - holly #ravingfangirl

though one of my most used replies would merely be "really? REALLY???" - holly #ravingfangirl

Would be a fun thing to do. - Uli- #10 from Android

right? - holly #ravingfangirl

my most used reply would be, "what the fucking fuck!" - Mary Carmen

I like "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?" - Michelle M

I just do it out of my own account. I mean seriously, most people? The hell. - Akiva

you are my people. - holly #ravingfangirl

also, "shut. the. fuck. up." would be popular - Mary Carmen

Your twitters mist be interesting to read..... - Uli- #10 from Android

most of the worst ones i see are ones that i run across while doing searches. not necessarily people i follow. though sometimes they'd get it too. ;) - holly #ravingfangirl

You mean THIS isn't your alt? :P - Bubba Botts

of course not! i'm nice. well, sort of. mostly. sometimes. - holly #ravingfangirl

o_O - Bubba Botts

hush, you. - holly #ravingfangirl

I just snark on the twitter under the alias "holly", so you can live vicariously if you want. - Micah

micah is my hero. - holly #ravingfangirl

Name it "NotHolly" - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

@ButchJogger - Spidra Webster

I *just* got that. x__________x - holly #ravingfangirl

Lol - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

Do it, Holly. - Jason P

That's cause I didn't remember his name right at first, holly. - Spidra Webster

Will it make my nose stop running and give me the ability to breathe? I don't give a damn WHAT it's called if it works. - Derrick

The worst folk remedies seem to involve turpentine, cayenne pepper, or cow patties. - ha3rvey (Hugs 50% off!) from FFHound!

I mix cold pills and hot sauce. - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

My mum would anoint you with olbas oil, tell you to put on a vest (singlet?) and go to bed early with honey, lemon and a tot of rum or whisky. And no TV. Or music. Or enjoyment of any kind. You would be allowed to do a decade of the rosary or read some psalms. But not the exciting ones. - WoH: Minding her Steves

Garlic and lots of it. - Anne Graham

There is a schnapps for whatever ails you. ;) - Katy S

No liquor. :( - Derrick

:( - Katy S

I know, Katy. It's a choice I had to make. A little red wine now and then, but no liquor. :( - Derrick

It was a half-joke. My great grandma would have prescribed something along those lines for almost everything. I don't really subscribe to that approach. - Katy S

I love a good cocktail. Or did. - Derrick

MATTHEW MODINE. - Akiva

Vicks VapoRub on your chest and a cup of chicken soup-odene. - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed

is that tv series or a movie? - bur@kayd.in

It's a movie. It's THE movie. If you want to know why the internet is so excited about the upcoming PROMETHEUS, start here. - Steven Perez

Why is this not available to stream....WHY???? - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

Drat on you, Micah! I meant what's a good site to use that is specifically tailored to making photoblogs? - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Posterous is all about that these days. Or I can set you up a WordPress install with a choice of themes on one of my BlueHost servers. - Auntie Buttinsky Botts

Good to know, Mary, and thanks for the offer, but this isn't for me. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Then Posterous or Tumblr. - Auntie Buttinsky Botts

Tumblr seems popular - Todd Hoff

Smugmug a possibility? - Eric

Or, really, the dead-easiest thing to do is ourdoings, which does it for you. You upload a bunch of pix to a special DropBox folder and it organizes the shots based on the metadata. Then, go back in and add whatever text you want to tell the story. http://ourdoings.com - Auntie Buttinsky Botts

And it's our own Bruce Lewis - so it stays in the family. We ought to promote that more. - Auntie Buttinsky Botts

THANKS! - Scoble, Alex Scoble

FF trounced your G+ response. - Todd Hoff

Word, Todd...big time. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

For public consumption I use Posterous (not actively, lately) http://wittman.posterous.com and Smugmug's API + a PHP app I wrote for private family photos. - Micah

flickr - sofarsoShaw BAZINGA!

I still like Flickr for photosharing - WarLord

I've tried Posterous, Tumblr, Wordpress, Smugmug/Flickr/Picasa hackery, Instagram, Zenfolio and 500px for various mutations of photo posting/blogging, and for something public, I'd just just go with Tumblr these days. I think the community trumps any sort of technical whizbangery. Particularly since other tools (e.g. Instagram) will post to it natively. - Ken Sheppardson

...or just use FriendFeed. :-) - Bruce Lewis

Friendfeed remains a choice, if not a popular choice. - Andy Bakun

ourdoings seems nice for telling a story, needs nicer skins though (considering calling a favor from a friend to get one done). And it links to FF like nothing else does (and g+ and more). Blipfoto is nice if you want to try to be more consistent and encouraged in taking photos. I have found blip to be easy, friendly, clean. Also, it's a scottish startup. There's also european ipernity, which feels like a clone of flickr except with better support for telling a story/blog around a set of pictures - Iphigenie

Hi iphigenie. If you talk to that friend, ask if they'd be more likely to want to design a skin for it if it were bootstrap-based -- http://twitter.github.com/bootstr... - Bruce Lewis

I recently ran across a nice photoblog theme built on Thesis theme for Wordpress. http://exhibit.wpblogger.com/ - CW✔

I like Wordpress, but I'm a big dummy - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

Bruce, Bootstrap looks cool. If you're thinking of doing skins, Bootstrap doesn't look any harder than messing with WP themes*, and that LESS business just about made me swoon. If people want custom skins, I'd be happy to design them! *I can't say I build whole themes from scratch - don't have the php chops for that. It's more like I restyle existing themes - Genesis child themes, or I also have a developer license for Elegant Themes - with client trade dress (type, colors and imagery). - Auntie Buttinsky Botts

I've played with Posterous (http://mobilephoto.co) and Tumblr (http://twiddle.me) but mainly for iPhone photos. - I like big Botts

Dunno, got an odd feeling from one of the instructors who was at the show tonight. Ran not him for a minute in the way out said hi and all, then he said, I dunno in a different way "we'll talk in class." I'm hoping I'm reading more into it than it is... It was a tone thing. - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

What was the context? Maybe he was just in a hurry and thought you had a question about something class-related? - joey

Nope, I see you! - ☆ Mellyboo ☆

nah if anyone's invisible its me - Sir Shuping is just sir

I see you too. And you, Uli. So there :op - ☆ Mellyboo ☆

Yeah right, Andrew.At least you're a librarian. - Uli- #10

I see you! - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

Looks like penis - Gabrielle

my kingdom for a nerd! - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

Diagonal, overlapping pixels? - Brian Johns

nope, that isn't it - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

It's the wrong sword. In that part of the game, it should be the wooden sword. - Curdy G

Because it is all about them -- crushes often are. Weird, but so human. - Jennifer Dittrich

Weddings make people weird. - Yvonne

I think it's often meant as a compliment or affirmation... something that went unsaid then, and they regret not doing so. I've had people tell years later that they had a crush on me, and it didn't seem that they still carried those feelings or expected any response "in kind." But maybe I'm just obtuse. #catharsis - Mark J from Android

I've gotten comments made to me by guy friends, "if I wouldn't have married so in so, you'd be the one". Seriously?!?! - Jenny...

Better now than during the wedding! - Zulema ⋅ spicy cocoa tart

Dear MC, I have a crush on you... kids in the hall style! *wacky accent* I'm am crushing your head withs my fingaz! /accent - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

A different point of view - as someone who is quite sure they were never the object of someone's crush it would be mice to hear that I was wrong. - Alan from BuddyFeed

MC, I love you! Don't marry Scott, run away with meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! - ☆ Mellyboo ☆

This Aussie friend I had a one night stand with called me the night before my wedding. Awkward, indeed. - Cristal Blue Persuasion

^Dang, that Melly sure has a lot of crushes! - LB so u no it's real

LB, I love you! Leave Mr B and run away with meeeeeeeeeee! - ☆ Mellyboo ☆
