ABC Game

[labylou]

Possibly you would never believe me, no matter what I say...

[Footprint]

***** answer! Do you realise how frustrating deep that answer goes in search for the real answer to my question?

[labylou]

Really think this is the place to answer?

Realistically, in these forums, someone would answer, "of course I would, do you have any doubts?"

Sincerely, could you trust such an answer?

[Footprint]

True, like we would say for anybody who had to go offline for some time!

[labylou]

Undiplomatic not to give the expected answer.

[Speedyserd]

Very rude of you to do that!

[Footprint]

What and who were rude?

[HannaGertie]

<span class="ev_code_RED">X</span>pected answer can be rude too, it depends on who does the questioning, who does the answering and what you think of eachother. The answer "no" to the question "will you be my friend" still hurts even if you could expect the answer from previous experiences with that person.

<span class="ev_code_GREEN">Y</span>ou know even an polite answer can be hurting: answering "Yes" to "do you want an upper cut" f.i. might not be advisable http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Speedyserd]

Z is alonely letter since there aren't that many words that begin with it, at least that I can think of.

[Footprint]

And you are quite right about that Speedy.

[HannaGertie]

But if we played this game in dutch, now then many Z-words could be found! Lots of words starting with S in english start with Z in dutch.

[Footprint]

<span class="ev_code_RED">C</span>an an Amsterdammer care for an S or Z?

<span class="ev_code_RED">D</span>o I often wonder if we need them both.

<span class="ev_code_RED">E</span>vetually one of both might disappear.

<span class="ev_code_RED">F</span> and V are also Amstrdamish to me, although a '<span class="ev_code_yellow">vee</span>' is different from a '<span class="ev_code_yellow">fee</span>'. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[RaPhil]

Goodness, you guys are talking dutch to me!!

[Footprint]

Helping a bit now: 'vee' is different from a 'fee' because vee=cattle and fee=fairy, but like Amsterdammers I have been brought up with no difference in pronounciation between the V and F.

[RaPhil]

Ignorant I am. only knowing English, when so many non (native) english speakers know both their own language and English as well.

[Footprint]

just have to to survive with our small language regions.

[labylou]

Knowledge of English has been very useful to me. Although with these forums I can see that I can't use it as poetically as the others and I find myself limited in expressing myself.

[Footprint]

Louly, you just encouraged me by saying that. Long thought only I was a victim of not writing the lines I would like to write.

[labylou]

Maybe we have used English too technically, in the context of our jobs.

[RaPhil]

Nevertheless, I just noticed that Footprint has reached 5100, and I have only posted 50 since he reached 5000. Oh, woe to me!!

Oh no, if I don't get my fix of coffee I'll crash and burn before classes start! Of course, running around outside bare naked in the icy cold would sufficiently wake me up...but then there is that whole modesty thing...

[Speedyserd]

Pardon me, but have you considered some counselling for your addictions?

[Jeff433]

Quite the opposite I think. I've discovered coffee more as a form of art, mixing and blending the perfect flavors of coffee. Yesterday I made an irish cream macedamia nut and cherry cup of coffee (pure heaven I tell ya)! I know you're already addicted to caffeine, do you drink tea or coffee?

[Speedyserd]

Right... actually, I am more of a tea fan, mainly because it gives you more caffiene per cup and it's healthier for you too.

[Jeff433]

Same here. I love tea, but right now I don't have any. I prefer a mocha over coffee actually. I just ran out of chai green tea last monday.

[Speedyserd]

The chai... delicious, I must say so!!! So sweet, so creamy... yum!

[Jeff433]

Unless I have tea, I'm forced to resort to coffee. I love the cinnamon flavor in chai tea! What is your favorite?

[Speedyserd]

Vell... I would have to say spiced. I'm sure there is plenty of cinnimon in that too, but I don't know what other spices they add... but it is sure good!

[Jeff433]

well...actually I haven't tried spiced yet. I'll definitely have to try that.

Just a wonderful offer that would be. I'd be happy with the lower price and not in the least the personal treatment. I'll keep it in mind http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/11.gif ! For the moment my hope is on my neighbour who works in a software shop and can probably arrange a small reduction and drop on my doormat at the same time.

[HannaGertie]

Kept thinking, Revelation being that expensive because they translated all text in Dutch and that for such a small language group. They need to get the profit from somewhere. But then a lot of new games in the Netherlands are in the same prise class, still haven't bought StarTrek Elite Force II and TRON 2.0 because of that.

[Speedyserd]

Love to get Revealations, but I better TRY to keep my focus on my schoolwork at the moment.

[HannaGertie]

Must be hard, hearing people here talk about Revelation and still about Uru and UU on top of that too. Hope you have a Fall break soon.

[Speedyserd]

Never! We don't do fall breaks since we start so late. If we have one, it's this weekend because it's Columbus' Day on Monday, and that is a university holiday...

[Footprint]

On that occasion do all of the US have a holiday because of Columbus and did the Canadians follow having a Thanksgiving on the same day? Which of these traditions is oldest?

Rugby with a basketball?

[HannaGertie]

Sounds crasy, hu! But it looked fun combining mindsport with bodysport in a strategic game. ( I forgot to mention that the field had numbered squares and the squares worked as a kind of Go)
To bad it was part of an science fiction series, an episode about a version of earth where scientist where worshipped like sportsheroes on our world. In the story it's told that Stephen Hawkings invented the game!

Formidable growth of your numbers, Speedy, may make you look for the 6000 post club thread instead of the 1000 posts club. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Gone only for a few days and then notice that it is undoable to go backread some 400 posts http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/16x16_smiley-surprised.gif

[labylou]

Handsome number of posts to read...

Impossible not to read the last few pages of the XP1 thread however, as we are celebrating 100 pages.

[Footprint]

Joyful achievements all over!

Knowing that I could use a party for whatever reason and still not having the time is frustrating a bit.

[labylou]

Life is keeping you that busy, Footprint?

[Footprint]

Mostly it is me keeping my life busy. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[labylou]

Never want to hear you complain about missing out on anything, then... http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/mockface.gif

[Footprint]

Other subject then!

[HannaGertie]

preferable a non work related subject, I need a vacation, anyone got a spare one?!

[Speedyserd]

Quit your whining!

[RaPhil]

Rest easy guys - that is what I am doing.....What do you mean I am supposed to be studying....ooops, better get back to it then.

[Jeff433]

Someone help meee!! I've lost my mind somewhere between chapter 13 and 14 in my dynamics textbook. I feel another all nighter coming up since my exam is tommorow.

[labylou]

Take a deeeeep breath...

[Speedyserd]

U will be OK, Jeff, just think happy thoughts, like the exam will be over soon.

[cathyk]

Verily, the time will passeth faster than you realise.

[Speedyserd]

Well said, cathyk!

[Jeff433]

x-cept for when I get up at 6 in the morning to meet with my friends and prepare for the exam.


-=-=You should have seen the havoc that went on in that study room. Notepaper everywhere, hundreds of pens lying around, and a large group of people(20 people)huddled around a table arguing and yelling over every single fact in the frelling textbook!! One hour left before the dynamics exam and everyone is already burned out...=-=-

[labylou]

You survived!

[Jeff433]

Zero...that's what I am. I finished the exam. All I'm going to say is that I almost finished the first question. I'm not going to talk about it anymore.

[HannaGertie]

And weekend is there, hopefully to forget all stress.

(to all students, if you have a re-exam, I hope the same happens as with one of mine: the teacher didn't know he had to give us one and in his haste made us do the excact same exam we failed before, needless to say we had studied that ones answers very well and managed a better grade.) ( but allas still no 10 for me)

[Footprint]

Better not talk about schools or work now?

[HannaGertie]

Congratulations with winning the goldenKi contest, Footprint! great picture!! (I missed the voting this time, just as I missed congratulating you on time)
How about a round of sports and contests in honour of the D'nilympics(sp)?

[Speedyserd]

Do you have the image on you?

[HannaGertie]

Exposition of Footprints winning picture ois at the DPWR (http://www.dpwr.net/index.php)site.

[TLG.]

Footprint won a contest? Congrats!

[Footprint]

Great people you all are! Thanks and thanks to the voters. I only learned about it yesterday when Jade told me she saw my GKI reward. {{{{{all}}}}}

Very convenient to have the link too, thanks Hanna.

[RaPhil]

Hurriedly posting - packing car for the 3hr drive to the hospital I will be working at for the next 6 wks. See you from about 26th Nov.

[HannaGertie]

Is probably to late, this post, for Joann to read but: Good luck with your internship! Hope you have a good time and lt's of handy experiences! We will be here to hear all about it!

[RaPhil]

Joann thanks you Hanna. Came back for another look - couldnt resist. Now, it is off to bed for a fresh start tomorrow about lunch time.

Cheers

[labylou]

Kind of sad to see you go joann and especially that I didn't get the chance to say goodbye...

Let me congratulate you Footprint on your well deserved Golden KI award. What a great picture!

[Footprint]

May Joann still find ways to let us laugh! She and her humour will be missed if she can't.

Nice eh Louly, I'd had rather taken the picture if you had been there and touched the crystal! Thanks!

[Speedyserd]

Oh, Joann has left for her 6 week program. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/16x16_smiley-sad.gif

[labylou]

Pity, isn't it? http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/16x16_smiley-sad.gif

Quite! Good luck, Joann!

Skipping the S, aren't we?

Unquestionably, I'm bringing things back on track!

[JadesDream]

Very good! Apparently I've forgotten the basics...how mortifying! http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/16x16_smiley-surprised.gif

[Speedyserd]

Well, it happens every now and then Jades.

[Footprint]

Xamples of that can be found evrywhere if you look for footprint http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[HannaGertie]

Your basic skipping of letters is a common action around here.

[Footprint]

Affirmed!!! http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/mockface.gif

[Speedyserd]

Zealot of the anti-ABC order!

[Footprint]

And I keep A-ing as you are Z-ing!

[labylou]

B-ing or being is what it's all about...

[Footprint]

C-ing or be seen that is the vision

[Speedyserd]

Do we now forget words that actually begin with the letter we are on? http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/16x16_smiley-tongue.gif

[Footprint]

Entropy is growing you think?

[Speedyserd]

For once it is!

[Footprint]

Generally spoken, a certain amount of entropy is needed to have work to do.

[jahura]

Have you any idea what you are talking about?

I don't!

[Footprint]

Just simple disorder, n'est ce pas?

[jahura]

Knowing so little about the properties of heat in a body I could not associate it in general terms.

[Footprint]

Molucular heat you mean?

Now I am curious whose body you had in mind?

[Speedyserd]

Left out L, didn't we footprint?
My, aren't you getting a few bad habits?
Now, can we try to stay on track?

[jahura]

Of course.

Physical properties of heat in a body relate to both biological and mechanical terms.

Quite the stickler for detail, aren't you, FP?

[labylou]

Really Footprint, pay a little attention, will you? http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/59.gif
