Dearest Guru, I humbly ask:
Are you as amused by LordEden's malapropism as I am? Did you even see it? Your answer suggests to the contrary, though I suppose you may have just been acting polite. Also, did you take my ladle with the red handle? I can't seem to find it anywhere. And finally, why is it that although I walk for miles I never actually seem to get anywhere? As you can see, I have been hoarding my queries in anticipation of your triumphant return.

Quote:
"The Wave" was pioneered by Edgar M. P. Daftwager at the opening of Yankee Stadium in 1923 during the Yankees' first game at their new home. Mr. Daftwager, having built quite a thirst in the hot sun, was trying to flag down a beverage vendor. He also had bad knees and so was bobbing up and down, waving both hands in the air, as he was trying to get the attention of the boy who would sell him a drink. Since the stadium was recently opened, the service was slow, as a result of inexperienced vendors, and so Mr. Daftwager kept trying to flag someone down. It was at this time that the Yankees were down by two runs and had a man on base. The crowd was getting a bit excitable and a few around Mr. Daftwager noticed his antics and began to mimic him, in synch, as they thought it was a great way to cheer on the batter. Further on down the stadium, others took notice, and the crowd "passed it on" and a wave ensued by freak chance. After this unintentional wave impressed and awed all in attendance, every wave thereafter was done on purpose. What is little known today is that "The Wave" was originally known as the "Daftwager Dance."

Denial is destroying you both.
Both chocolate and vanilla are good. There is nothing wrong with being "so vanilla," but there is nothing wrong with being obvious, either. Just dig in and enjoy it already.

It is a common observation to notice that, over time, sporting balls will lose their air pressure. This, I assure you, is built purposely into the valve design for safety purposes. A ball without such a mechanism risks such things as unintentional rupture, which not only results in irreversible damage to the ball but may also injure nearby parties. Below I have included some basic diagrams that depict the common sporting ball air valve from varying angles and, in some cases, I've included ones displaying specific details. This design is used in most products available on the market for both the professional and the amateur. Bear in mind, however, that these diagrams have been simplified for the distinct purpose of educating the layman. However, it is worthwhile to note that the elegant simplicity that you see below in the air valve design is maintained even when viewing schematics meant for the engineer and manufacturer. So while the diagrams below may make the technology seem deceptively simple, it is indeed an intended part of the design. Enjoy.

I had no idea basketballs incorporated carburetors. This adds quite a bit to my appreciation of the sport.
The profound knowledge of the Guru strikes again.

In your case, depending on the hue of green that your curry presented, you would benefit from balancing it with either a purple, red, or orange curry.

I've tried Opera, yes.
But I didn't like it, so I switched to Firefox from Internet Explorer instead. I used Firefox for several years up until recently when I switched to Chrome (which, by the by, I highly recommend).

Cancelled, unless you are a part of the former British colony the United States of America.
Known colloquially as "the USA," this former colony has participated in a subtle yet noticeable degradation of the Queen's (aka Oxford) English. Much of this, however, has lost its significance with the advent of Internet slang and the "language" of text messaging, the majority of which was driven by these former colonists.

Um, Mr. Guru sir? It's "cancelled" on both sides of the border. Just like the show "Alf".

I think the series provides a great moral lesson for young minds. I recommend it to parents everywhere. Though I would suggest skipping the bulk of the 100 or so episodes and merely watching the series premiere and finale/TV movie.

Why am I plagued with HTTP 500 errors on TFP 5.0?
Why does the alcohol magnify the stupidity at such an exponential level?

Yes, Stella is a lovely gift to mankind.
However, I still think it magnifies something. But I will not disagree with the Guru tonight, impaired as my judgement may be. I guess running IE 6 on the laptop contributes, eh?

Even Microsoft tells you not to run IE 6 now.
500 is an internal server error. The server has errored internally. This may or may not be because it hates you, but it's almost certainly your fault. Guru! Why don't you get a bigger living room? One with a drum kit, and someone to play it.
