Thank you all for coming! And for everyone watching and participating from home via that camera, we hope you can enjoy the day ~almost~ as much as being there!
They'd become the Professor of Freeperology
Ssshhh... I'm just pretending to be a CS major...
I'm gonna compromise and say 12 1/2 minutes :)
They'd earn a Ph. Free! :)
I guess I'm just hasty, but after ten minutes I'm off to browse news/activism, amazon.com or epicurious.com.
Observation 1. Study subjects hide behind varying degrees of disguise facilitated by the anonymity of the internet. Some create entire personnas that may differ significantly in gender, hair, and eye color, from their real selves...

JenB will soon be coming out with her monograph, "Freepers of the Trobriand Islands: A Study in Cultural Abberation" :)
And then it becomes Hugh..

Hroom, hroom! We ents often take many hours to kill threads. . .
Bakshi?!
That'd be an overcharge of thread killing energy in an instant.
I surf the web, at home, with two browsers, my latest work-in-progress open and ignored, and usually something else as well. At work I just check the thread in between small segments of tasks, ie, I'll transfer the information about a pipe's flow rates from the customer's spreadsheet into our tool, and check over here. It keeps me sane. But it also keeps me from noticing thread-death as quickly.
I am a natural multiprocesser. The only place that's a problem is in church, one really shouldn't be composing a new story or thinking about exercise during the sermon.

So you mean some of us here aren't really members of Middle Earth races? Sounds like a far-fetched theory to me. . .
This is true.
But usually such Ph. D types don't have a sense of humor and would say that monopolar schizophrenia was rampant here.
(And then they'd write a doctoral thesis 700 pages long just to say the above, get a couple thousand for it, AND then secretly post here afterwards while denying it upfront.)
*chuckle*
"And then it becomes Hugh.."
And simultaneously somewhere on FR a moose walks into the shower. . .
Bakshi energy enables you to kill several threads at once--as well as animators' careers--it's powerful stuff.
LOL!
No, I taunted the Religion Mod by posting a pic of Austin Powers with the caption "KUM-BA-YEAH-BABY!"
That was good for a one day timeout. ;^)
Did I mention to you that I went to the PCA General Assembly one day last week, to sing for them? It was really neat. The Assembly managed to pass something calling on Congress to support a marriage amendment or whatever they have to do... surprising because our denomination doesn't like getting involved in politics.
That's great that you got to go sing at the Assembly.
That is surprising they would endorse get involved.
Personally I think it is a terrible idea to amend the Constitution like that. As far as I'm concerned the state has no business getting involved with the marriage process.
"I am a natural multiprocesser. The only place that's a problem is in church, one really shouldn't be composing a new story or thinking about exercise during the sermon."
Heh--I used to get around that problem by looking up the verse being sermonized on as an excuse to read my Bible during the sermon :) That and I'd take notes on the sermon--have a notebook with Roman-numeral outlines of the rhetorical structure of many sermons :)
I once overnighted some kolaches to my mom from New Braunsfels Texas...
If you knew about these kolaches from New Braunsfels, you'd be impressed.
Bakshi energy should be put inside a blast proof can and labeled "Dangerous, do not open unless absolutely necessary."
Powerful stuff beyond measure.
