how do I know the drill?
You use a drill gauge:

Yes, you do think I'm religious. :tongue:
And to answer the implied question, yes, I am a practicing member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon).
Hrm.
When I'm not spending time with my family or supporting them, friends, and God, I think I enjoy creating neat electronic things the most, especially if it makes someone else happy.
Beyond that I enjoy reading, bicycling, programming...

Should I go home on friday, or saturday?
If I go home on Friday, I won't leave until probably 8 or so and it takes me a good 4 hours to get there. However, I'll be at my friend's place in Austin, which is about 40 miles closer to home. If I leave Saturday, I'll have had to drive home and then back past my friend's place. This won't really be that big a deal if I wasn't also taking my dog home.
What do you think I should do?

After a night of drinking lots of beer, do you turn into steinman?
Friday. Get it out of the way and visit with your friend for a bit before you leave saturday.
I don't know.

Hrm. If I had to choose between the following three, I'd have a really hard time:
Better off Ted
Heroes
Lost

Wow. Um.
See, Jack is lying to himself and doesn't recognize it.
Sawyer is lying to everyone else, but at least he knows he's lying.
I'll have to go with Jack, though.
Because it falls behind that little line, and thus is not part of my post. That and I've gotten used to typing it - it's completely automatic for me to add it now.
In fact, I visited PA forums once, posted there, and got yelled at by the moderators because, apparently, that's against the rules. So I stick around here.

The PA forums have rules?!?
That's rhetorical.

As busy as they are, though, I bet they have to have a good set of rules and an iron fist.

Have you been half asleep, and have you heard voices?
Hens are allowed in our neighborhood, and a neighbor has several, so yes - even when hens are talking in my surroundings.

Chuckling quietly to himself about his knucklehead kids who get all uppity about fruits vs veggies.
Besides, I'd eat bob, but larry is a nasty cucumber, and only good pickled (there's a drinking joke in there somewhere, isn't there...?)

What were the last three movies that disappointed you, or you thought were bad? If you can't remember the last three or that, then the biggest disappointment?
I was disappointed by Transformers 2 - I enjoyed it, and still would have paid to see it in the theater, but there were several points during the movie that I was thinking (and probably said), "Wait, really? I mean, come on now!"
But even giving myself a day to think about it, I can't think of any that are particularly disappointing. Pirates of the Caribbean 2 irritated me for ending so obviously as a 2-parter. At least LoTR was split in a manner that left one feeling satisfied at the end of each movie.
Keep in mind that my movie watching is rather limited, though. I don't watch rated R movies, and even then I really only see maybe 15-20 movies a year, and only 25% or so in theaters. Too much money and time.
-Adam
We don't have a plan right now to have more, but we haven't completely shut the door on that either (no snip, snip yet).
We've had pretty good luck with the have two, wait awhile, have two pattern (ie, each kid has a playmate even when no friends are around), but our most recent addition is just over 6 months old, and is almost 4 years younger than the next kid. So that's the strongest case for another one.
We won't make a decision until next year, though. If we have another one there'll be a good 2 years inbetween them.
All of my spawn are overlords. And they do rush around quite a bit... so... um... 5?
Hey, if you're into theatrical oil and sweat slicked muscle bound men grappling, that's your thing. I've watched a few bits and pieces here and there, and it doesn't interest me. I kept getting asked to be on the high school wrestling team (short, light, relatively strong due to living on a farm) but never did. I suppose if I had I would be more interested in it.
I have a few friends that are really into it, though. I admire the wrestlers for their obvious talent and commitment to their art, but... meh. I'd rather be programming.

Why do you make so many demographic polls?
Are you compiling the data?
Why do you like programming so much?
What's a neat excel trick?

Boxes.
I like shoving people in them.
No, not really. Once in awhile I update the halforums wiki so new users can get an idea of the forum makeup (also so I can find them later). Also because threads are deleted after awhile.
It's a problem solving, creative process - how do I get from point A to point B. It's not unlike a logic puzzle.
Interesting question! Let me think about that and get back to you.

I'd have the hitman kill them with old age - thus forcing the hitman to protect them from danger so that they can ONLY die through old age.
heh heh heh.
I can't think of anyone I'd want dead personally, though I suppose that I could always use my "free hitman" on idiots like Osama, but personally I'd rather see them brought to trial and tried, rather than simply being murdered.
Lots of anger in the world today, though. Glad these hypothetical free passes aren't being given out like candy.
As far as "what's the worst punishment I can think of" (which may approximate what you're getting at) - well, it's like room 101, it depends so much on the person.
I'm probably more of a Count of Monte Christo kind of guy, though. Rather than kill a man, I think they would suffer far more at losing everything except their life.
