I know Slash and some others will hate this, but this is not a veiled attempt to get attention. This is an overt attempt to get some attention. Something depressing happended last night/ this morning and I need cheering up. Nothing too serious in the scheme of life, but enough to get me blue.
All the ladies can form a line to the left to leave huggs and kisses.

Ah, yeah.

*hugs* msquared. Your family is awesome. I know you can make it through this, whatever it is.
I really hope it gets better for you. Honestly.
Posted by Bob the Lawyer (Member # 3278) on :
I seem to remember swearing I'd refer to msquared as 1/3m^3 + c from that point on. I never did stick to it though.

What about all the dudes? Should we form a line to the right for high-fives?
Speaking of which, did you see the one hundredth Strong Bad Email? And the spring break episode of Teen Girl Squad?
Posted by msquared (Member # 4484) on :
Ladies,
Lots of hugs but no kisses. What's going on? Having problems following instructions? Line forms to the left.

Figures you'd find that funny, AJ, it is a little risque. I mean, mcubed is msquared's wife and an integral is the area under a curve...
Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
Cheer up.
Don't Worry, be happy.
Were are those singing smiley faces with the bare behinds we had around here somewhere.

Posted by Nato (Member # 1448) on :
In sixth grade I took a class from somebody named Mr. Wagner. I forget what the class was called, but I do remember that it had something to do with design and layout (on a sixth grade level). The name was something like Media and Marketing (Except with words that had something to do with design/layout). What always got my goat was that they called it M^2 or "Msquared" instead of 2M.
In my limited sixth grade experience, I still knew that M + M wasn't M^2.
In any case, I hope you cheer up soon.
Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :
No way, Nato. Media and Marketing wouldn't result in M + M. When they join forces, each is multiplied by the other, exponentially. Ergo, M squared. If neither had an effect on the other I might agree with you.

Even though you do have totally wrong ideas about barbeques.

Jeni has the right idea.
Now what idea do I have wrong about barbeques?

Msquared.
I have never felt an overwhelming urge to drive to your house and beat you with a pipe until you bleed from all your pores.
That's gotta be worth something.
Posted by jeniwren (Member # 2002) on :
m2, round? round? Retro-boy R U. Just bring out your leisure suit and you'll have the whole ensemble.
Real men of the 21st century use gas, supplemented by charcoal to get the right flavor, on a beautiful stainless steel rectangular grill with optional rotissary forks.
Oh, and Posted by msquared (Member # 4484) on :
Jeni
Except for the pathetic gas comment I agree. I have always been a proponent of the square grill.
I have stated loudly and many times my undying hatred of all round grills.

In that case, round grills are the only way to go. I don't know why people even mess with these newfangled gadgets. Once you acheive perfection, why even continue? After all, steaks are not *square*, they're rounded, so logic dictates they would naturally cook better on a round grill.
Besides, there's something so fashionable about being on the retro side of things.

I would really try to "cheer" you up, but I look quite pathetic in a cheer leader uniform.
I can give you my High School Cheer--

Surpringly, I didn't go to a Catholic school.

GAH! I can't find this quote and I am afraid to misquote it, does anyone else know what I'm talking about?
On King of the Hill, I think Hank and Kahn are arguing about mesquite versus propane or something and Kahn says that mesquite gives him "nice taste of wood." Then Hank says "I like propane. Gives ME nice taste of MEAT."
Anyone know what I'm talking about?
Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
No, but either is better than having a nice taste of Gas.
Posted by msquared (Member # 4484) on :
I have seen the episode you are talking about. Hank and Peggy end up grilling nude. Not a pretty sight or a safe activity.
Gas has a smell to it.
Charcoal is the way to go.
Jeni, are you being contrary?
Of course if any of you join Ornery you are invited to OrneryCon in June at my house. I already have 7 members of Ornery showing up

Yep, charcoal is the best.

Thanks to all the lovely ladies for the hugs and smooches.
Even though my team lost in double overtime last night, I am in a better mood today. Maybe because I am going to see a zombie movie tonight. Blood and guts always has a way of cheering me up.

Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
What a great idea for a movie---
"Zombie Cheerleaders"
Oh, wait, they made that movie, but they called it "Bring it on."

Chin up. If it makes you feel better, I'm going to have that song from Charlotte's web stuck in my head all day. This guys are actually doing chin ups. That's a stage move I've never seen before. A line of synchronized chin ups. What do you think, 7 or 8 male gymnasts doing their horizontal bar routines in a choreographed manner? Probably had in on Cirque de Solei already.
p.s. Another reason I've never really liked the French. You aren't french, are you? Well, who isn't to a tiny degree. I'm less than 10% French.
