Nov 14, 2012 8:27 PM - David: Why is the shoutbox notifying me of stienman and Necronic creating new threads?
Nov 14, 2012 8:53 PM - Dave: 'Cause. I could always turn it off if we don't like it.

Nov 17, 2012 5:47 AM - figmentPez: Blarg, recorded a vlog about Wreck-It Ralph, and the audio is crap.
Nov 17, 2012 8:25 AM - David: I can't seem to record any kind of audio without my computer fan getting majorly picked up.
Nov 17, 2012 10:40 AM - Bowielee: Do you have onboard sound? There could be something wrong with the onboard sound chip that's causing overheating.
Nov 17, 2012 4:03 PM - figmentPez: I had turned on "Beam Forming" to try to reduce background noise, and I think that messed up when I got excited and too loud, or moved around too much.
Nov 17, 2012 7:49 PM - Emrys: Happy birthday, Charlie!

Nov 23, 2012 1:28 AM - figmentPez: Go home shoutbox, you're drunk.
Nov 23, 2012 1:31 AM - Emrys: Maybe you should look for Tuesday in your heart. Or behind the couch. My doomweasels tend to drag things there.

Nov 23, 2012 4:44 AM - BErt: Don't listen to them, shoutbox, it's always Tuesday somewhere.
Nov 23, 2012 7:02 AM - bhamv3: I do all these favors for my female friends, and not one single one of them has offered to sleep with me out of gratitude! This world is messed up!

Nov 26, 2012 9:29 PM - Allen who is Quiet:
Nov 26, 2012 9:30 PM - Krisken: Working up the nerve to take a test i think I'm going to fail. Le sigh.
Nov 26, 2012 9:32 PM - Allen who is Quiet: is it a friendship test? Because the people who fail those are the ones who administer them
Nov 26, 2012 9:33 PM - Krisken: No, it's an Accounting test, 60 questions in 30 minutes
Nov 26, 2012 9:34 PM - Krisken: And after that, the Trig test
Nov 26, 2012 10:07 PM - Krisken: Accounting test done. Worried over nothing, got a 91%
Nov 26, 2012 10:31 PM - Azurephoenix: Well played Krisken... well played
Nov 26, 2012 10:35 PM - Krisken: Thanks! Now for the horrid math test.
Nov 26, 2012 11:13 PM - David: if you got 55 out of 60, your score should have been 91.666%. Somebody gipped you out of a repeated .6!
Nov 26, 2012 11:31 PM - Krisken: Heh, at this point, I don't care. I'm just glad it's the last 'test' I have to take for the class
Nov 26, 2012 11:31 PM - Krisken: The math test, not so hot but at least I passed.
Nov 27, 2012 12:11 AM - ncts_dodge_man: Sometimes passing with a "D" for DONE
Nov 27, 2012 12:12 AM - ncts_dodge_man: ack - hit enter before finshing - DONE is all that matters
Nov 27, 2012 12:36 AM - Krisken: Well, it was an 82%, which is a C in the class
 
Lol, somehow I didn't see Allen's response. Nice!

I love this thing. I'm currently downloading episodes of Radiolab to play during my paper route. I shall never be bored again.

Dec 1, 2012 at 10:34 AM - Null: Krisken, you don't need the words "on twitter" or "religious" in that sentence, really.
Dec 1, 2012 at 12:42 PM - Wahad: but ''Ricky Gervais is just to troll people'' is not correct grammar! ):

Dec 3, 2012 7:36 PM - Guest: Ricky Gervias is - that is, he exists - just to troll people. That is his sole purpose. Therefore, he is just to troll people.

Dec 5, 2012 7:17 PM - Dave: I think we can count the Stock Market as a success.
Dec 5, 2012 8:04 PM - stienman: If success is measured by how many terrible posts I've made today just for the sake of some HB, then yes, we have achieved a new high.
Dec 5, 2012 8:27 PM - Dave: Activity is activity. Fun is fun.
Dec 5, 2012 8:36 PM - stienman: I do like the stock leaderboard. Wish I was closer to the top, though.
Dec 5, 2012 9:14 PM - Krisken: I didn't even notice the stock thingie.
Dec 5, 2012 10:31 PM - stienman: Ooh, if I dump my bad stocks, I may lose money, but I still go up on the leaderboard! Nice. At the end of the day I can make my books look really, really good.

Dec 8, 2012 7:14 PM - HCGLNS: Are you willing to clarify your previous answers? As there are many countries in that region that are both above and below the Tropic of Capricorn and some in both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere.
Dec 8, 2012 7:15 PM - Dave: Whether the country spans multiple locations doesn't matter. The place in question fits the criteria.
Dec 8, 2012 7:16 PM - MindDetective: Need more questions about the item...
Dec 8, 2012 7:17 PM - Wahad: we'll get there eventually MD
Dec 8, 2012 7:17 PM - Wahad: we need more questions about everything right now, really
Dec 8, 2012 7:17 PM - Wahad: the night is still young
Dec 8, 2012 7:17 PM - Dave: -heh-
Dec 8, 2012 7:17 PM - Dave: More people = more questions.
Dec 8, 2012 7:18 PM - MindDetective: I don't. I think I just need questions about the item! ;)
Dec 8, 2012 7:19 PM - MindDetective: I'm not sure I can get the map down to 5 miles yet, though.
Dec 8, 2012 7:20 PM - HCGLNS: Well it's down to 2 countries now.
Dec 8, 2012 7:20 PM - Wahad: 2?
Dec 8, 2012 7:20 PM - Wahad: I have six
Dec 8, 2012 7:20 PM - Chad Sexington: I have eight! Dammit!
Dec 8, 2012 7:20 PM - Dave: 2?
Dec 8, 2012 7:21 PM - HCGLNS: :)
Dec 8, 2012 7:21 PM - BErt: Is the item something commonly found In a home?
Dec 8, 2012 7:22 PM - Chad Sexington: Dammit Huggles! HOW DO YOU DO THIS
Dec 8, 2012 7:22 PM - Dave: BErt - Maybe. I'll say yes, but it really depends on the occupants of the house.
Dec 8, 2012 7:22 PM - Wahad: No seriously how - with the questions provided I can not see how you can narrow it down to two without guess work
Dec 8, 2012 7:23 PM - Dave: It's a common thing in MY house.
Dec 8, 2012 7:28 PM - Dave: Officer_Charon - Does the country end in "E"? - No.
Dec 8, 2012 7:29 PM - BErt: I think the item is an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle...Dave is always talking about how he has one of those
Dec 8, 2012 7:30 PM - Dave: My son does. We got him one for Christmas a few years ago.
Dec 8, 2012 7:30 PM - Dave: :)
Dec 8, 2012 7:33 PM - Chad Sexington: I'ma go make a cappuccino and hopefully have some kind of eureka moment... Come back and make myself $10 000 in fakemonies richer. And then lose it all! BWAHAHA GENIUS
Dec 8, 2012 7:34 PM - HCGLNS: I steal Chad's Halbucks.
Dec 8, 2012 7:35 PM - Dave: Bonus clue! The location this year is not a man-made location or structure. INstead, it's something I saw on Google maps/earth that looked cool.
Dec 8, 2012 7:36 PM - Dave: :devil:
Dec 8, 2012 7:41 PM - Chad Sexington: NO HUGGLES. NOOOOO
Dec 8, 2012 7:43 PM - BErt: HUGGLES STAHP
Dec 8, 2012 7:44 PM - HCGLNS: :ninja:

Dec 8, 2012 7:52 PM - BErt: Woohoo!
Dec 8, 2012 7:52 PM - Dave: But you wouldn't quite measure them the same way.
Dec 8, 2012 7:53 PM - BErt: Aw dang :(
Dec 8, 2012 7:54 PM - Dave: Don't worry, BErt. My answers can be like that. A toaster is basically a box. This object isn't remotely box-like.
Dec 8, 2012 7:59 PM - Dave: I turned the Member List Manager back on for a bit so you can check out the user a bit easier. I'll turn it off once the contest is over.
Dec 8, 2012 8:00 PM - Officer_Charon: No kow-towing to the bleatings and mewlings of the barnyard creatures, Dave!
Dec 8, 2012 8:00 PM - Wahad: Rude.
Dec 8, 2012 8:00 PM - Dave: You realize that's the perfect opening for a mom joke, right?
Dec 8, 2012 8:02 PM - Officer_Charon: Your MOM'S a perfect opening

Dec 8, 2012 8:05 PM - Dave: HCGLNS - Oui.
Dec 8, 2012 8:06 PM - Dave: (Had to look it up.)
Dec 8, 2012 8:06 PM - HCGLNS: heh, I knew where it was 8 questions ago, I just like making you look stuff up
Dec 8, 2012 8:07 PM - Dave: Riiight. Send me a screen print, chuckles!
Dec 8, 2012 8:07 PM - Chad Sexington: Je vais te tuer, Huggles. Je veux de l'argent!
Dec 8, 2012 8:09 PM - Dave: Look at Chad Sexington talking some merde!
Dec 8, 2012 8:12 PM - Dave: I will now answer up to 10 questions about the LOCATION...or until someone sends me a screen shot with the correct place, whichever comes first.
Dec 8, 2012 8:13 PM - Dave: Officer_Charon - Is the ITEM found in your kitchen? Yes. Actually, it can be found anywhere in your house.
Dec 8, 2012 8:14 PM - Dave: Place question #1: Is the place in a lake? No.
Dec 8, 2012 8:20 PM - Dave: Did I mention that the free 10 questions can be from anyone and they do NOT count as your hourly question?
Dec 8, 2012 8:22 PM - Dave: Place Question #2: Is the place within 25 miles of a border? No.
Dec 8, 2012 8:23 PM - HCGLNS: Is homosexuality deemed a crime in this country?
Dec 8, 2012 8:23 PM - Dave: Place Question #3: Is it within 25 miles of a city? No.
Dec 8, 2012 8:23 PM - Dave: I hate you, Hugh. Hold on.
Dec 8, 2012 8:25 PM - Dave: HCGLNS - No.
Dec 8, 2012 8:27 PM - Dave: And that was Place question #4.
Dec 8, 2012 8:28 PM - Dave: That was a better question than I intially gave you credit for, Hugh.
Dec 8, 2012 8:32 PM - Dave: Next questions are being taken now. Don't everyone talk at once.
Dec 8, 2012 8:33 PM - HCGLNS: Well Burundi is in the region, has French as an official language and has outlawed homosexuality, so I thought it was apt.
Dec 8, 2012 8:33 PM - Dave: Wahad - Does the country's name end in a vowel? Yup.
Dec 8, 2012 8:34 PM - Dave: But they know how to make hats in Burundi.
Dec 8, 2012 8:35 PM - Dave: That was place question #5, by the way.
Dec 8, 2012 8:35 PM - Dave: Place question #6: Is it in the Democratic Republic of Congo? Yes.

Dec 8, 2012 8:38 PM - Dave: Hang on, BErt.
Dec 8, 2012 8:39 PM - Dave: BErt: No.
Dec 8, 2012 8:39 PM - Dave: And that's Place question #7 and doesn't count towards BErt's hourly tally.
Dec 8, 2012 8:40 PM - BErt: Has the user been active this month?
Dec 8, 2012 8:40 PM - HCGLNS: Is the item a toy?
Dec 8, 2012 8:41 PM - Dave: BErt - No.
Dec 8, 2012 8:41 PM - Dave: HCGLNS - Yes.
Dec 8, 2012 8:49 PM - Dave: Place question #8 - Is the item hidden in the southern half of the country? No.
Dec 8, 2012 8:56 PM - Dave: Place question #9: Is the place to the East of the 24th meridian (vertical line, sorry if the terminology is incorrect!)? Yes.
Dec 8, 2012 8:58 PM - MindDetective: Is it in the province of Equateur?
Dec 8, 2012 8:58 PM - BErt: Finally trying to go through a list...I expected there to be less users at this point.
Dec 8, 2012 8:59 PM - BErt: It's certainly possible that I missed something or that I'm stupid
Dec 8, 2012 8:59 PM - Dave: Province of Equateur? Son of a-! I don't know. Hold on.
Dec 8, 2012 8:59 PM - Dave: As that is WEST of the 24th meridian, MD, I'll give you another question.
Dec 8, 2012 9:00 PM - MindDetective: oh oops
Dec 8, 2012 9:00 PM - MindDetective: let's say the province of Orientale
Dec 8, 2012 9:00 PM - HCGLNS: The best part of this game is making Dave learn.
Dec 8, 2012 9:01 PM - Dave: Shut up. :(
Dec 8, 2012 9:01 PM - MindDetective: *brofist*
Dec 8, 2012 9:01 PM - HCGLNS: Say Dave, what is money made out of again?
Dec 8, 2012 9:02 PM - Dave: @MD - Yes.
Dec 8, 2012 9:02 PM - Dave: And that's the last free Place question.
Dec 8, 2012 9:03 PM - Dave: HCGLNS - Depends on the place and denomination.
Dec 8, 2012 9:08 PM - MindDetective: Is the item within 100 miles of Lake Edward? (this is my question for the hour)
Dec 8, 2012 9:08 PM - Dave: Let me check.
Dec 8, 2012 9:11 PM - Dave: @MD - No, but I had to measure.
Dec 8, 2012 9:11 PM - BErt: Does the user have a name that begins with a letter of the alphabet before J?
Dec 8, 2012 9:13 PM - HCGLNS: I'll burn a question for the group, is it Boyoma Falls?
Dec 8, 2012 9:13 PM - HCGLNS: Is there a method of liking BErt's question?
Dec 8, 2012 9:13 PM - Wahad: You can like my official answer post once I update it to include BErt's question :p
Dec 8, 2012 9:14 PM - Dave: BErt - No.
Dec 8, 2012 9:14 PM - Dave: HCGLNS - No.
Dec 8, 2012 9:15 PM - BErt: Lol
Dec 8, 2012 9:16 PM - Dave: Big hint here. Is the phenomenon CAUSED by water? Yes.
Dec 8, 2012 9:18 PM - Dave: Wahad has the place.
Dec 8, 2012 9:19 PM - Dave: Clock is ticking. Tick Tock. Tick Tock.
Dec 8, 2012 9:20 PM - BErt: Oh snap
Dec 8, 2012 9:23 PM - Dave: Wahad - Does the user have 7 letters in their name? Yes.
Dec 8, 2012 9:24 PM - Wahad: Down to three
Dec 8, 2012 9:24 PM - Wahad: You will not beat me so easily, mr. Huggles!
Dec 8, 2012 9:24 PM - HCGLNS: 2
Dec 8, 2012 9:25 PM - Dave: It's a race to the finish!
Dec 8, 2012 9:26 PM - Dave: IN 5 minutes I will be opening the questions to a lot more. I plan on being done by 4 CST, which is in almost 1/2 hour.
Dec 8, 2012 9:26 PM - HCGLNS: Booo! I want to drag this out over a week like last year.
Dec 8, 2012 9:27 PM - Dave: I'm starting to get a headache. If nobody has the answers by 4 I will be doing the rest in the thread. Like last year.
Dec 8, 2012 9:28 PM - Wahad: Challenge accepted.
Dec 8, 2012 9:29 PM - Dave: Officer_Charon has the user.
Dec 8, 2012 9:30 PM - Dave: At this time, each person can have a question about the user and the object. If you send me a confirmation of the user, you can have 2 guesses about the item. (or place if you don't have that yet.)
Dec 8, 2012 9:31 PM - Dave: Wahad has the place AND person.
Dec 8, 2012 9:33 PM - BErt: I'm now selling questions to wahad in exchange for Halbucks
Dec 8, 2012 9:33 PM - Dave: Wahad - Is the item marketed at kids under the age of 12? - No.
Dec 8, 2012 9:34 PM - Wahad: How much
Dec 8, 2012 9:36 PM - Wahad: Doess 500 per question sound okay?
Dec 8, 2012 9:38 PM - Dave: Wahad - Is the item mostly made of metal? No.
Dec 8, 2012 9:42 PM - HCGLNS: Do you, Dave Nihsen, hate what the image icon of the person in question was taken from?
Dec 8, 2012 9:43 PM - BErt: Is the item part of a major franchise?
Dec 8, 2012 9:43 PM - Dave: Uh...Let me look. That assumes I know.
Dec 8, 2012 9:44 PM - Dave: I don't know what the avatar is from.
Dec 8, 2012 9:44 PM - Dave: I have an idea but I can't be 100% certain.
Dec 8, 2012 9:44 PM - Dave: BErt - What do you mean by that? Can I get an example?
Dec 8, 2012 9:46 PM - Wahad: Since it's a question I paid for, I shall clarify; - A major franchise is things like MLP or Disney movies or GI Joe or things like that
Dec 8, 2012 9:47 PM - Dave: Ah. Then no.
Dec 8, 2012 9:51 PM - Dave: Officer_Charon: Does the item make noise? No.

Dec 8, 2012 9:55 PM - BErt: Is the item a single thing? i.e. are there multiple, loose components?
Dec 8, 2012 9:55 PM - HCGLNS: If you are flying your mount in WOW and end up timing out on the server, are you flying when you log back in?
Dec 8, 2012 9:55 PM - Wahad: Not helping, huggles
Dec 8, 2012 9:55 PM - Wahad: ):
Dec 8, 2012 9:56 PM - Dave: BErt - Hard to answer. It's a single item made up of a lot of things.
Dec 8, 2012 9:56 PM - Dave: And yes, you are still flying when you log back in
Dec 8, 2012 10:00 PM - Dave: Okay, questions can now be asked exclusively in the contest thread. 1 question per person per DAY until we get a winner.
Dec 8, 2012 10:06 PM - Dave: I'm heading out for a night with the wife. I'll check back in a while.
Dec 8, 2012 10:11 PM - Wahad: BErt, I paid you the money for the questions.

Dec 21, 2012 11:35 AM - Terrik: It's about 3*C here and raining. Do I care that it's cold? A little, but I can deal. But if it's going to be cold, it better snow--but NOPE.
Dec 21, 2012 12:33 PM - stienman: You can't use the kitchen quietly? What are you making?
Dec 21, 2012 4:56 PM - Wahad: Maybe his kitchen vent is just really loud?
Dec 22, 2012 12:51 AM - David: Lately he seems to complain about the noise if I so much as enter, open and close the fridge, and leave
