Answer

[Cagey]

"All my life I've been running away from that name. That's why I wouldn't tell anybody. But I've been thinking about it. All this time I'm trying not to be me. I'm afraid to face who I was. But I'm Cosmo, Jerry, I'm Cosmo Kramer, and that's who I'm going to be. From now on, I'm Cosmo!"

[Sweet_Sunflower29]

Now, is there some kind of codeword for "please lay this thread to rest" ?

Yes.

However--if I tell you, I will have to kill you immediately after...

kidding of course...



Welcome!

Have got a couple of drops behind the ears, I will now put forth in all my inexperienced glory, a list of things I have learned on the Free Republic so far:
BUMP is some sort of blackjack term, meaning unclear
PING is what your table tennis opponent does right before you PONG
Please Lay this thread to rest means - MORE! MORE! BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!
This is fun!

[Sweet_Sunflower29]

If you think it's fun now, wait until the point when it becomes downright "I'm-late-for-work-forget-to-make-dinner-typing-while-the-house-burns-down-posting-with-a-snake-under-your-feet addicting!

Now THAT'S fun!

[BSunday]

WOO hooo sounds great count me in

[Skooz]

I thought it was just me.

[fnord]

'bump' means you;re horny

and I think 'ping' means you have scored ... and a 'ping list' is an invitation to, um, group dynamics :-)

[Sweet_Sunflower29]

I thought it was just me.

Young grasshopper, you are but one out of many within the universe and beyond...

Bump

[Sweet_Sunflower29]

Wait a sec...The 'BUMP' meaning the definition in post #10 or post #68?

[altair]

The term has been co-opted by the computer society to mean, among other things, sending a signal to a server or client machine to see if you can get a response.

The signal is similar to sonar. It's an ICMP echo packet, and the program which did this was (and still is) called "ping".

Question

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war?
'Cos when we stop and look around us,
There is nothing that we need,
In a world of persecution that is burning in its greed.

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
Because the truth is hard to swallow
That's what the war of love is for.

It's not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me
It's more the way that you mean it
When you tell me what will be.

And when you stop and think about it
You won't believe it's true
That all the love you've been giving
Has all been meant for you.

I'm looking for someone to change my life,
I'm looking for a miracle in my life,
And if you could see what it's done to me,
To lose the love I knew
Could safely lead me through.

Between the silence of the mountains,
And the crashing of the sea,
There lies a land I once lived in,
And she's waiting there for me,
But in the grey of the morning,
My mind becomes confused,
Between the dead and the sleeping,
And the road that I must chose.

I'm looking for someone to change my life,
I'm looking for a miracle in my life,
And if you could see what it's done to me,
To lose the love I knew
Could safely lead me to,
The land that I once knew,
To learn as we grow old,
The secrets of our soul.

It's not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me,
It's more the way you really mean it
When you tell me what will be. 

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war?
'Cos when we stop and look around us,
There is nothing that we need,
In a world of persecution that is burning in its greed.

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
Because the truth is hard to swallow
That's what the war of love is for.

When the meaning of this is clear, you have become UBER-Freeper:

No, no, no!!! You want to go to Scotland for the famous Fried Pizza!! (And Fried Mars Bars for dessert. Yum!)

Scotland's National Dish

There are some who will try and tell you that the national dish of Scotland is the haggis. They are wrong.



They may also try and tell you that the national drink is whisky. They are doubly wrong.

The real national meal of Scotland is... A Deep Fried Pizza Supper and a bottle of Irn Bru.

There are two methods to making a deep fried pizza supper:

Method 1:

1. Take a piece of round cardboard and paint it orange.
2. Bosh it into some very hot fat until it absorbs it all.
3. Serve with some very fatty chips and a can of Irn Bru.


Method 2:

1. Take £2.90 to the Montgomery Fish Bar on Montgomery Street in Edinburgh (just off the top of Leith Walk)
2. Hand over the money and say in a loud, clear voice "I'd like a deep fried pizza supper and a bottle of Irn Bru, please."
3. When asked if you want salt and sauce, say "Yes."
4. Watch as they drown your food in the sh*t.
5. Bon appetit!





Serving Suggestion

Why not try following it with a deep-fried Mars Bar? A splendidly Scottish idea, this involves taking a chocolate bar that is already extremely high in fat, coating it in batter, and bunging it into fat to cook. Mmm-mm. Deeelicious.
