i.. have no idea.. what you just said, im just sitting here stunned.

Don't worry, it's quite simple.

You see, as you may know computers are run by electric current, which is just a stream of electrons. Tach is trying to explain to you a complex physics situation, so I assume he thought you could handle it. Basically, he's trying to show you how to capture the data stream using Picard's lasso..

Sorry, I just can't be an asshole. He's trying to tell you that if you read other threads, this is not a tech support forum. Ironically, you entered this random thought in the random forum, but without introduction or becoming part of the community. Think of it as someone busting into your house, then demanding that you tell them how to play Halo. (Or whatever you have knowledge of doing that this other person doesn't, it really doesn't matter) You'd probably think they were an asshat. Please post an introduction if you plan on staying. This board is like a family in some ways, and you are welcome to become a part of it so long as you follow the rules.

Only after you stick around for a while will people answer questions, usually.

I wasn't aware Christmas Eve has religious significance.

Oh wait -- didn't Joseph run out for some last-minute shopping?

You obviously don't have any italian family members.

Christmas Eve dinner is bigger than xmas itself. Except you open more presents xmas morning.

adgertated? I'm so using that.

Christmas is a celebration stolen from the pagans by Pope Julius I. I get a kick out of the Christians bitching about putting the Christ back in Christmas. How about we put the pagan back in... Winter Solstice Recognition. How about that, fuckers?

Hear, hear. This year, if there isn't twelve inches of snow on the ground and if the temperatures stay around 40 (!!!), we might actually do it right and find ourselves a fire. We've already got the mead.

I bet that would be pretty fun, actually. I get annoyed by the Christ back in Christmas thing too when they are referring to the December celebration. An old friend of mine is a Deacon for a Coptic church. They celebrate Christmas sometime early in the next year. I can't quite remember, but the reasoning behind it was that is the actual, correct time in which Jesus was supposedly born.

It is a mystery.

I also figured out that at least 25% of pb's posts are in the "What are you listening to?" thread, because he replies every time someone else does.

I reply to new threads whenever I have something to say, and I almost always have something playing on the ipod, hence my posts. And that's all I have to say about that. /gump

Christmas:

Saint Nicholas was a bishop (I don't remember the year) and around that time there was some debate about how the father could also be the son, and while a majority believed that they were all one and the same, there was a small number at the time who didn't. At one meeting, Nick became so enraged that he decked a guy and was sent to jail. Nick was from an influential family, so he was released, but he was feeling a bit guilty.

At the time a dowry was required to marry off a daughter, and this man had three of them. He knew that he couldn't marry off his daughters because of the money, and was muttering to himself and whining, when a bag of money was thrown through the window. You can imagine his surprise, but when he ran to check it out, there was nobody there. When he was marrying his second daughter off, the same thing happened, so he vowed to find out who it was when he was trying to marry off his third daughter. Low and behold, it was Nick! (Presents)

Nick's favourite color was red. (Red Suit)

Ho Ho Ho is a shortened form for Holy Holy Holy! (Santa's Saying)

I think that about does it.

Where did I hear this? Well an older gentlemen told me it while I was dressed up as Santa where I work. I guess he had heard it on the radio from some Christian station or something and felt he should tell me. *Shrug*

Henry, why on earth would you infer that I'm racist? Particularly from a post made 2 years ago about vegemite, of all things?

BTW, you know that when you report a moderator's posts that that same moderator is one of the ones to whom it is reported, right?

You're one strange critter.

If they don't live with you, something that makes a lot of noise. They always love that.

'76, just before the really cool stuff started happening.

Hahahahahh that's hilarious, it reminds me of the Borat anthem at the end of the movie, who in turn reminded me of the North Korean prop videos I watched previous to that.

Yeah that one. Lately I've taken to singing it extremely loudly and with much gusto at work, home, and most places in between.

The National Anthem part made me laugh harder than anything else in that movie...with all that "other countries have inferior potassium" stuff.
