Chat Thread 40: What in the world is JeffCvt's other name?

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 7:56 pm

It's getting colder where I am. Not too cold, but I need a sweatshirt about half of the time.

I wish we would get snow though. I like snow.

Half of England has a panic attack at the mention of snow.

Our weather is mostly just rain... It's miserable.

Hukley · Post by **Hukley** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 1:59 am

We had snow last week!

It's really refreshing

Punchy · Post by **Punchy** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 4:24 am

I'd like some snow...
Didn't get much last year, but the year before that we had trouble getting out.

Pumpkin season? It's (American) football season!

ShadowLightning · Post by **ShadowLightning** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 7:19 am

I want snow too. Unfortunately, due to the fact that I live in a tropical country, I don't think that's ever going to happen.

Post by **Sleet** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 10:34 am

I don't want snow until tomorrow, when we get our heater fixed.

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 11:28 am

I want snow ASAP. We would get some decent holiday.

I'm sorry, but around here it's still in the 60's and low 70's. Come to Southern California, it's always relatively (in comparison) warm here!

And if you can help it, don't come to Canada, its snowing here

And cold.... And snowing...... and did I mention its snowing?

Firenze · Post by **Firenze** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 5:29 pm

I miss living in an area full of snow! That why I'm always eager to visit my family up in Washington, aside from the massive raining. It's pretty much what Kateleo said with the 60-70 degree weather over here in California. Darn you, California weather... with you and your beautiful sunny beaches... oh wait.

I think we should give away our snows to people who don't have it.
*puts on a sign saying ''Free snow'' on a pile of snow*

So how are Englnad's and swizerland's winter?

I'll take your snow! I've only seen snow twice, up by Lake Arrowhead.

I was gonna stop you but I don't particularly prefer glazed donuts, so go ahead. *enjoys all the cream-filled donuts*

0404 · Post by **0404** » Tue Oct 22, 2013 7:57 pm

hehehe
my favorite doughnut is honey cruller :3

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Oct 22, 2013 10:31 pm

I was at QuikTrip the other day and they had what were described as "pumpkin spice" donuts. They were cheap and I was hungry so I gave it a shot. It was good but tasted nothing like pumpkin spice. They should have been called "vaguely orange-colored" donuts.

Mickey the Luxray · Post by **Mickey the Luxray** » Tue Oct 22, 2013 11:29 pm

I think my favorite donut is a tie between the Chocolate kruller, chocolate bar, and the chocolate twist. The donut shop we usually eat at has this delicious milk-chocolate glaze, and it is the BOMB.

Has anyone ever had just a plain donut, without glaze or anything on it? I once had a bar like that. It was pretty good... granted I would have liked it to have settled for a little longer (fresh donuts make me feel sick) but otherwise it was pretty good.

CaptainPea · Post by **CaptainPea** » Wed Oct 23, 2013 12:16 am

I didn't know sour cream doughnuts existed until a week ago. I'm aware of them now and they're pretty good.

I was going to make a joke at the expense of Gatorade but apparently Gatorade flavors do have actual names- one of them is "X-Tremo".

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Oct 23, 2013 1:55 pm

For all I know sometime in the past decade several of the flavors silently changed their names to things like "Drano-Berry Face Rupture" and "Rubbing Alcohol Quench" and no one noticed because they just considered them "purple" or "green" or whatever.

Wasn't there a "This Tastes Like Windex And It Probably Is"?

Post by **Dissension** » Fri Oct 25, 2013 8:29 am

That was a marketing research name that ultimately became "Rubbing Alcohol Quench." Personally, I've always been partial to "Drano-Berry Face Rupture."

Liam · Post by **Liam** » Sun Oct 27, 2013 6:09 am

So, what's the actual difference between "nerd" and "geek"?

Or is it just an interchangeable term for "guy who likes stuff I don't like/consider normal"?

Post by **Obbl** » Sun Oct 27, 2013 12:18 pm

Randall Munroe's position on this
Origin of Geek
Origin of Nut -> Nuts -> Nerd

To me they refer to pretty much the same thing. Originally it was people who do things I consider weird. Now the people take pride in their weirdness and call themselves Geeks and Nerds. (I happen to be a language Geek/Nerd

)

As far as I know you're on the money with the definition, except that a geek would be an extreme example.

Liam · Post by **Liam** » Sun Oct 27, 2013 8:57 pm

Some "geek guy vs. nerd guy" video on Youtube made me think about it. It took the stance geeks = science, tech, math; nerds = subcultural stuff (anime, etc.). Not that that stopped them from degenerating into meaninglessness.

Sun Oct 27, 2013 10:08 pm

was it the Rhett and Link rap battle?

cause they only based their distinction on what they found online. and they came to the conclusion that nerd = doing (math, science, making robots) and Geek = passively enjoying (watching shows, wearing clothes)

Post by **Obbl** » Sun Oct 27, 2013 10:11 pm

Which sounds like the opposite of what Liam said

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Mon Oct 28, 2013 4:24 am

I think nerd and geek have become pretty interchangable. I prefer the term nerd personally but geek fits to. Though I'm not super wrapped up in gamer/ role playing/ general comic/ gaming shop nerdery that much anymore. So I might be a bit out of touch.

In my neighborhood we just drink windex with kool-aid in it. :p
