Hey guys, is this the calorie counting thread?

-30 w/o cheese

applauso

stop biting you fatties

Uh, I meant to say that slow poke McGee was doing a 15-minute mile up there, not a 5-minute mile. If McGee was doing a 5-minute mile he'd be Yippidadee McGee, not a slow poke.

you don't have to be an astronomer or astrologist or astronaut or whatever to get this though--it's hs-level physics and i don't think it involves windmills either. but whatever!

whatever whatever

its not really high school level physics

ok i'm stupid i guess

basically this idea what work is a function only of distance moved is fine if there's no friction or heat or whatever. the problem is none of those assumptions are even remotely justified when you've got a human body involved (i am an expert on the human body, ladies). all you can say with HS physics is that running and walking in an imaginary world where human bodies have no joints and are infinitely small uses the same energy (although how you'd actually move in this world without friction is another matter).

lol SVG

yes i am talking about an imaginary world though!!!!

oh cool!

all you can say with HS physics is that running and walking in an imaginary world where human bodies have no joints and are infinitely small uses the same energy (although how you'd actually move in this world without friction is another matter).

caek is this the science talk reason why gargamel could never catch the smurfs???? ps the smurfs moved by kinda windmilling their little feet u can see this discussed in peer-reviewed journal youtube.com pretty sure

Finally someone addresses the 800 pound gorilla Smurf question!

yes lamp. that is pretty much the reason. the smurf's moved using newton's 3rd law in their frictionless world.

also, keeping it positive, i saw this photo just as Jane by Jefferson Star came on and i liked it so i'm posting it here:

thanks 4 vital smurf info

You gotta let this one go, dogg...

Nirvana C/D

Classic! "The Story Of Simon Simopath" and "All Of Us" were both excellent albums! ;)

BEST Nirvana Song

I have to be very unoriginal here and say "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Really, there is something very special about that song, and there was a reason why it singlehandedly brought "alternative" music out into the mainstream.

Although "Tiny Godess" was surely a good call too :)

Nirvana - The original C/D?

I always tend to tell those "In Utero"/"Nevermind" fans that the best two Nirvana albums were called "The Story Of Simon Simopath" and "All Of Us"

vichitravirya never did come back

Envious?

mourn him til i join him

LJ, you know I love you and your board contributions and your board persona, so PLEASE don't take this the wrong way. But you should probably stop bumping threads just to yell "I like this!" It kind of goes back to the old journalist credo of "show me don't tell me." You're a smart dude and a very valued poster but i wish you would dig a little deeper into what you're listening to sometimes

examples:

ORTHRELM THREAD

currently 34 minutes in and this is just like wow thank you for making this record - it feels important and noble

DEVO THREAD

holy fuck listening to the debut for the first time and the opening minute of 'gut feeling' has floored me

god this song is one chord-change away from perfection, and it's pretty damn good regardless

― Electric Universe (wherever that is) (acoleuthic), Sunday, January 10, 2010 11:12 AM (3 days ago) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink

I guess 'Slap Your Mammy' is that key-change anyway...

...this song is ridiculously beautiful.

The rest of the album's not bad either.

it's cool s1ocki, i made a similar post like this to sarahel last year so you gotta take what you dish

...yeah it's true that i'm bumping threads pretty much every time i hear something i like, and then posting not much more than 'this is great!'. in some ways i'm trying to elicit others to discuss the music in expanded terms, but granted i'm not saying much about the music myself.

i'll take this in the right spirit and try to say something valuable about the music i'm bumping in future :)

oh lol

like, i know me popping up in seemingly *every* musical discussion all 'would i like this?' can become cloying and tedious; i'll try to find out without asking so much in future

Wow, that's the first time I ever saw all that shit about Vichitravirya_XI. That's fucked up like a car crash.

'i like this!' >>>>>> 'would I like this?'

come on it's endearing imho

yeah i love his recent posts where he discovers and is baffled by "the movies"

i was gonna post a pic of brendan frasier ala "my lucky stars, a negro!" but ran into all these links about his hair loss. one looked particularly defensive so i clicked it and the guy is crying about people making fun of brendan on that williamsburg board. just thought I would share ;) http://www.thebaldtruth.com/articles/brendan-fraser-hairloss-attacked-by-bully-reporters/

posting not much more than 'this is great!'. in some ways i'm trying to elicit others to discuss the music in expanded terms

Ha, more or less my approach :\

so I was reconsidering my anti-77 stance and was wondering if I should visit in the oh-ten

yeah could you add me too? I'm not likely to pop in much but it seems silly not to be able to see it (I can always remove it from SNA if it's annoying---I have no idea if it is or isn't).

I would like to because it interesting etc

i know this isn't the begging thread but i, too, would like an invite if that is sounding feasible
