You need to be more specific.

This one?

This one?

Or this one?

You left out at least one option.

Well, I was being a smartass and using l-m-g-t-f-y, but TalkBass replaced the link with asterisks. So on top of banning offensive language, it also bans being snarky?

Oh yeah, like that is really going to be helpful...


Edit - yeah, snarky/sarcastic still works.

What's that in Pennyweight (dwt)?

2333, rounded to the correct number of significant digits.

Hmmm. Which was here first? And no one understands metric. They just pretend to. "It was so hot yesterday, 37 liters celsius! I perspired so much I lost about 3 meters of water weight." And everyone just bobs their heads.

You speak English, so stick with the standard weights and measures in use since ancient times and codified legally by King James: hectares, ephahs, gerahs, rods, bondservants, and the like.

Hey, you bunch of revolutionaries - you kicked out the king, you don't get to keep the weights and measures.

Whose pennies? And if the US, are we talking 2.5 gram pennies, 3.11 gram pennies, or older pennies (several weights varying from 2.72 grams up to 13.48 grams)?

 

[PillO]

Pennyweights. Convert it to those, and we will all understand perfectly.

Oh dear. Great minds...

And yet we did, which pi**ed the English off to the point they changed part of their system. But since they knew how much I would one day love the UK, they kept Miles as their primary system of measurement for driving. I'm so honored.

Yeah, but on the wrong side o' the road.

Warped in the same direction.

Enjoy the show! I'm just a couple blocks north until 6:00PM

My queen! Any chance you are gigging in town the next couple days? Hoping to stay through Saturday morning. Would love to catch your band if you playing around town! Any places near the stadium you recommend? Have a great afternoon.

 

[PillO]

The British drive on the proper side of the road. Napoleon changed it for the continent because he feared highwaymen (well, pretty much everyone and with good reason - see Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure) and wanted their sword hands away from him.

It worries me.

Hey, no politics! (Left vs right.)

I know, but since when do we debate with facts rather than tangents?

I'll beat @JJR58 to the music posting tonight.



I actually thought well of Dio - solo, Sabbath, Rainbow.

We''re off until 8/31 when we play at The Swiss in Tacoma. There's tons of fun food places around the stadium - you can't go wrong.
