  • Yup
Since no one took a crack at this I'll go ahead and give the answer

Solve this riddle:

0
BA
MA


Answer:  2 degrees below zero

You can also do it 3 degrees below zero, but I thought the OBAMA aspect without the PHD might throw you for a loop.  Of course no one went for the loop, so well...you know...if a riddle falls in the woods...helllo (echo, echo, echo)...anyone home?


0
BA
MA
PHD

Ah well, I thought it was intriguing  :P


Just reading this for the first time.  Very interesting!

well, moderately interesting in a trivially odd sort of way anyhow

I find trivially odd - very interesting -- which makes me not so very interesting.

or oddly trivial
Yup

Before Star Wars got killed by overdigitalization.

I wonder what marketing genius was in charge of the placement for Luke's light saber?

  • "Love is the soul of a true Irishman"
So I'm in bed and it's gone 430 am and my girlfriend comes into the room after spending the last hour or so online:

"What plans do you have for Spring Break?"
"Nada"
"Good, go back to sleep"

A short while later, she comes back into the room:

"I made you a Spring Break timetable, have a look"

Venice, Rome, Milan and Barcelona for a total of 10 days.

Life is good.
Is she like the girl in the "Ultimate Bourbon" commercials?  "He can do whatever he wants."

I don't know I've not seen those commercials as far as I can remember, but I most certainly can't do whatever I want.

Hah... Darth is going to own you with his orange saber while Han and the Princess fight as sith.  Didn't the poster-makers know the color schemes?

TP for that.

It's amazing how many art directors and nowadays graphic designers work in their own sick jokes.  Awesome.

Words cannot begin to describe how much I have enjoyed the time I have spent with my son (8) over the past three days. 

They say that the Eskimos have countless words to describe snow, I wish I had a few to describe how great Thursday afternoon, Friday afternoon and all day today has been.

CDIF - a TP for the SOTOTT, thus giving me a forum in which to say this.

(Told ya I was a sap!)

If a random forum I created is an appropriate outlet for your happiness, I'm glad I made the world 0.0000000000001% better, as my favorite poster on here, I'm glad your time with your son was fulfilling!  what'd you two do?

Thursday he had a swim lesson (over in Hanover - a few towns away), normally I am working, but I stepped in due to a scheduling conflict.  Watching him do so well (for him) both in the water and out was awesome.  After wards, he and I went to dinner and talked and talked and talked.  That evening I helped him study (as I do most nights), and I am dumbfounded and warmly impressed by his ability to spell (not my genes!!).  Friday, after work, he and I went exploring in the wetlands behind the house.  Listening to him ponder the nuances of the woods and streams was great.  This morning, we were out by 7 to go get our haircuts in town (same guy's been cutting my hair for 20 years and he's a good friend).  Following the haircut it was off to the Museum of Science, where we took in an IMAX show, the lightning show, did a ride on some motion machine, saw the frog exhibit, the bigfoot exhibit and played until 2.  All the while the conversation was positive, fun and lively.  It was great - for both of us.

Thanks for asking.  By the way, for what it's worth we talked about you (kind of); as we were checking out the dinosaurs, I told him about the orange one up on Rt. 1.  Another adventure for another day.

I'm flattered the orange dinosaur came up - the dinosaur in the Museum of science (the t-rex) has to be one of my all time favorite things ever - remember in scouts getting to sleep over there, I was afraid it would come to life - but yeah that's so awesome your time spent with your son, I honestly always wonder if I want to be a father or not, your experience makes me think there may be hope yet

He definitely came up!!  I am sure you remember the dinosaur that was there when we were kids, well it's been replaced with a more modern interpretation and the old one is now outside.  In explaining the two different looks for the the T-Rex, I also talked about the Orange T-Rex as to further explain the evolution.

As for kids -- it's a ton of work, but incredibly heartwarming and fulfilling.  That being said, it's not for everyone.  Life has enough rewards in it; children are just one of many.
Call me a sap, but I love my kids more than anything!

Sounds like an awesome few days there, SSF. It's nice to see stuff like this, it always brings a smile to my face seeing genuinely good people having fun. Really good to see, TP for you pal.
