I get way too much amusement out of Google variants. There was a time I'd almost exclusively use Elgoog.
Also, one of these days I'll be the thread starter.

Okay, just figured out what it was and freaked for a moment when the sky was falling. Anyway, fun, entertaining, but I think I'll just use Google, the normal kind.

Re: Chat Thread 34: Something I Shouldn't Be Chatting About
Well I must say that at least the Thread Name seems more open, so I might come post a bit now and again. I wonder why I dun use the Chat Thread much though. Guess I just hardly relate to any topic.
Anywho, the topic I think is still Google so I guess I will just state that even though I love Google, I prefer Firefox over Chrome.

What's the big deal with web browsers? I just use one and live it, that's it.

Re: Chat Thread 34: Something I Shouldn't Be Chatting About
I dunno, I just choose Firefox because it has an Animal in the name. That and it does not have a large task bar at the top. Never really tried any others except IE.

Same here, don't see the big fuss so long as it ain't Internet Explorer. It had a few holes in its scripts.

Re: Chat Thread 34: Something I Shouldn't Be Chatting About
They should do a parody of either yahoo or Bing and then have all the results be completely inaccurate.
except not because that would not become them.
To me chrome has everything I love about google, which is mostly that it's pleasant to look at and simple.

Re: Chat Thread 34: Something I Shouldn't Be Chatting About
People are always looking for a reason to be superior to everyone else. So they whine about web browsers.
Not to say everyone with an opinion is like that. Just that people like that exist and that's why it's treated as a big deal.

Re: Chat Thread 34: Something I Shouldn't Be Chatting About
Sorry, Kalloon.....it, uh, just didn't work for me, ya'know.
I could see that, Sleet. It may have just been my IE that had a hole due to some download issue at the factory or something. Was a shared computer so never really ran well.

I still honestly don't care which one is superior, just as long as the thing gets the job done. It's the same for everything

The point of doing that would be to make fun of other search engines. As in it would be a joke. As in the purpose would be to entertain, not find out if elephants can jump or when Jack Holmes was born.

Between XXX and 34, this decade of chat threads is really turning out interesting.
I'm holding out for 35: If it doesn't exist, then it will be made.

It's a joke about rule 63.
The "safest" way to figure out what rule 63 is is to use tv tropes.

Re: Chat Thread 34: Something I Shouldn't Be Chatting About
So gossip is the female version of chat?
Women can chat and guys can gossip. therefore, the chat thread is already androgynous enough that rule 63 does not apply. at least according to Urban Dictionary.

Re: Chat Thread 34: Something I Shouldn't Be Chatting About
Random aside, but has anyone noticed that just about the only posts in the past day and a half in the Internet Censorship thread have been from the mods?
I would have posted something about it here, but a) it would probably be considered off-topic, and b) that would break the chain. =P
