Post by: hooplala on January 11, 2010, 07:25:47 PM
I have no credentials, I didn't finish High School, and never went to any post secondary school... so I know basically nothing, but I'm mostly honest...

Save yourself the psychiatry bill and ask me.  I will answer you to the best of my ability at the moment I am answering... no question too trivial, no question too awkward...

What is the excel formula which will call text strings from other columns?

I want a formula which produces the following output:

"Unit <value from column D>, Reading <Value from Column E>, <value from column F>"


any idea how to do that?

Whatever happened to Saturday night
When you dressed up sharp and you felt alright?
It don't seem the same since cosmic light
Came into my life, I thought I was divine...

I used to go for a ride with a chick who'd go
And listen to the music on the radio
A saxophone was blowin' on a rock & roll show.
You climbed in the back seat, you really had a good time.

Hot patootie, bless my soul, I really love that rock 'n' roll.

My head used to swim from the perfume I smelled
My hands kind of fumbled with her white plastic belt
I'd taste her baby pink lipstick and that's when I'd melt
She'd whisper in my ear tonight she really was mine

Get back in front, put some hair oil on
Buddy Holly was singing his very last song.
With your arms around your girl you'd try to sing along.
It felt pretty good, oh, you really had a good time.

Hot patootie, bless my soul, I really love that rock 'n' roll.

Oh right, I forgot you were in Toronto.

There is a small alley across from CityTV, often somewhat sketchy gentlemen stand around in there selling weed.  DO NOT SHOW THEM YOUR MONEY FIRST, no matter what they say.  it can be dangerous.  Wear a helmet.

2.  My guess is you were not a close personal friend of Johnny Cash, in which case he is still as alive to you now as he ever was then, he just won't be putting out new songs.  Enjoy!

Alright, for you Roger, anything... let's just ignore E.O.T.

Sounds good.

Okay, one of the pills I take is for my insane levels of stress.  Without the pill, I twitch a bit (eyes mostly), and go berserk at the slightest provocation.  With the pill, my face is numb and I say horrible shit to people.

Obviously, these are both desirable situations, but I can't have both.  Which way to go?

Always always always go for berserk. 

It's just funnier.

You haven't seen what I say to people when I'm all fucked up.


Good point.

Ok, let's do this for science.  Today, go one direction, film the results.  Tomorrow, go the other direction, and film the results.  Then we can accurately decide which is the more amusing route.

Find yourself a psychotic girl friend.  This will alleviate any boredom you have.

Sometimes, you forget that context is not causation.


That is, how they are being psycho is misleading; the fact they they are psycho should be the important thing.

Never trust the word of a psycho.  They'll always tell you something because they think that course of action is amusing, unless you've already figured that out and they've figured that you've figured that, in which case they'll tell you to do the opposite...until you figure that out and then you're both in Thirty Xanatos Pileup territory.

You don't.  We finally have him trapped.

Put that phone in a box, tape it up tightly, toss it in ocean.  We will never have to fear the King of Pop's tirade of power in the afterlife ever again.  Whew.  That was easier than I had feared it might be.

That's a difficult question, especially so because of the grey area where it is hard to distinguish between potato and person.

HOOPLA:  I SWALLOWED MY LAZOR.  WHAT TO DO?

Laser pointer, or death ray laser?

Or something else?

It's the death one.  I tried to shoop the whoop, but accidentally my lower GI tract.

The whole tract?

In that case, wait 4 hours, then lay waste to downtown Tuscon.

1. How to deal with bacne?
2. What to do with horrible ex bosses?

A. See my advice to EoC above.
B. Concoct a letter on very impressive paper, add some sort of personal embossment if you have the time, funding, inclination. For the content of the letter I suggest something along the lines of "we have been watching you for some time, and we like what we see. You will be invited in by someone in a public space, at some time, by someone you do not know. When that time comes, show them this." Include something in the letter which has been marked in some manner, my suggestion is legal tender. A bill large enough to be taken seriously by someone in your ex-boss's position, yet not so large you inconvenience yourself too much. Make sure to stress that they MUST CARRY THIS IDENTIFIER ON THEIR PERSON AT ALL TIMES. Because they never know when an agent of your organization may approach them. Then, do nothing at all. Ever again. Allow this to remain a little pebble to irritate their subconscious for the rest of their life. If we are lucky, that pebble may grow in to a pearl.

If I could hoop hoop?

No, hoop hoops.  C'mon now, this isn't a convention for dyslexic juggalos.

Someone refuses to present me with the ledger of an account that they are obviously managing with gross negligence. The account belongs to a mutual acquaintance. While the owner is away, I have been asked to deal with this. When I show up to exact justice, should I ask a lawyer to be there too?

I can't remember if Felix and CU were the same person, or if they just ran together, but he's gone full Alex Jones/QAnon over on FB.  It's a queasingly impressive amount of self-deception.

They were not the same person. Felix, I believe lives in Australia? He went full potato several years back. CU lived in Toronto, and was if memory serves, a victim of a moderate amount of power rushing to his head.

Bones, if anyone remembers him, has also progressed pretty deeply into Alex Jones territory.

No era of Dr Who is better than any other... except for the 4th Doctor, whom is superior to all the others. And the TV movie, which was an abomination. And the less said about Peter Davison, the better.
