We've written songs about it, we've got a stack of essays, and, to refer back to your quote above, we criticize the hell out of each other.

I think Paes got a case of the Holies.  :lulz:

Someone please explain what "Holies" is being referred to as?  Haha. Even if in another thread.

I'd explain, but you'll just snark...And I can get all the snark I want at tumblr or reddit.

Well, when I first joined, I was given a test and it only seemed fitting that I return the favor.

The gauges have been set and levels observed. I have little use to be snarky now.

Have I restricted your speech, poptart?  Have I said that it is an outrage?

No.  I have merely laughed at you, and been a little annoyed at your constant stalking.

Also, there was no "test".  You came on the board acting like an asshole, and you've been that way ever since.

To the contrary, dear, there was and it's okay. I've not been an asshole. I've offended a few but far fewer than I've been offended by. It's just a turn on words.

I hope that today, as you're walking down the street, doing whatever it is that I'm sure you can't wait to tell everyone about, a simple thought hits you.  That thought should be hey, why have I spent so much time on an internet forum being an officious, self-centered, and generally incorrigible person. From there, you will continue your day, doing whatever dull shit you think everyone should be so eager to hear about.  But all that time, the thought will be there, nagging in the back of your head, forcing you to contemplate your life's worth.  When you finally make it to wherever you live, the thought has overtaken you, and you realize that nothing good can come of this without change.  So you resolve to make life better for everyone you come into contact with.  You realize that not everything should be about you, and that you can play a greater part.  You become so excited by this notion that you immediately run outside to volunteer at your local soup kitchen, but you are promptly struck by a bus.

Unfortunately, this is a best case scenario, and is impossible as it permits the idea of you having thoughts of any kind.

So, you know when woo-woo fanatics casually use the word "energy" to refer to something they can't describe, while not having a very firm grasp on what the scientific definition of "energy" actually is?  Is there a proper word for what they are usually trying to describe?

This is a vague question, I know, but it's difficult to put into words what I am trying to ask.  If anyone thinks they know what I am trying to ask, please feel free to answer me.  If you know the answer.

It is exceptionally effective in keeping the jibber jabber down while one digs for the pineal gland with a sharp object.  Through the back of the neck is the easy way, up the nose with a marlinspike is trickier, but less messy.

I swear there's a word for that. I was going to suggest cosmic treacle but then I remembered that I was just ripping that off Brian Cox and that it's a real thing.
