Them 16 year olds always taking photos of themselves in front of their collection of pictures of bound up turtles.

[Reply #281 on:]

Perhaps you should finish the episode.

Pfft. Like I could go an entire 21 minutes without posting on PEEL.

[Reply #282 on:]

Awful lot of Honkeys up in this bitch.

Perhaps you mistook the oft-posted swan video for one depicting a goose chase?

[Reply #283 on:]

Balderdash. Smoking is a breathing exercise. Strengthens the lungs for the fight against Communism!

what episodes in Futurama are the least memorable.

I dunno, I forgot.

[Reply #285 on:]

I'm not watching it again until the DVD comes out in the UK. So, in 3 or so years.

I know I do!

Apparently...

Why does Bart control the PEEL Facebook page, by the way? What a supreme arseclown. That's right, Bart, I think things (on PEEL) that I would never say (on Facebook).

This made me laugh so hard for some reason.

Dats nice

[Reply #290 on:]

Only a mere kat.

Dats nice

Yes it is nice. Please don't spam here. We've already had enough problems with that as it is.

I told it I was so sorry, but it couldn't hear me because it was dead.

I believe TMC already won POTM recently, but I feel that this is an excellent post, nevertheless;

It's not that we want there to only be a few posters, it's that we don't want the place to devolve into a massive wasteland of posts that require zero mental engagement to generate or to understand and appreciate.

In the (near) future universe of Ender's Game, Orson Scott Card had a vision of the internet as an important place, where intelligent people would discuss things using clear, intelligent posts. Those who had something somewhat interesting to say would be encouraged and paid attention to on worthwhile websites. Those who were basically background noise would not.

Let's consider the actions of the staff here to be in that general spirit. Don't write a post because you feel like posting. Write a post that you think intelligent people might actually be interested in reading.

In the case of this thread, there are rules in place that require participants to make their guesses based on at least a little thought and knowledge of Futurama. We ENJOY it when people actually discuss the show and the characters, rather than spew one-word posts out of their internet-holes like simpletons with internet-diarrhea.

In short - people are welcome to post in this thread and on many other parts of PEEL if they are capable of shaping and sharing coherent thoughts that might generate meaningful discussion.

I know that it's gauche to quote oneself in this thread, but since I'm ineligible for actual POTM consideration for a good while, let me just put this here. It encapsulates a lot of my PEEL philosophy.

DAMMIT MRM YOU NINJAED ME

[Reply #294 on:]

Sorry I beat you to the punch there, TMC.  Great job with that post, by the way.

[Reply #295 on:]

I won't hold a grudge against you for complimenting me slightly faster than I complimented myself 

As an aside, I feel it's worth mentioning that the quoted post also happens to compliment all of the Peelers who contribute posts worth reading on this board on a regular basis. You guys are why I bother to take an active role in this board, rather than skim and move on, like I do on fark and reddit and other sites.

[Reply #296 on:]

Sometimes I dress up as her. Does that count?

You don't have the boobs.

The fakes I ordered are surprisingly convincing.

I'm not sure you understand how fake boobs work.

I barely understand how real ones work.

[Reply #297 on:]

Tachyon, had you not already done so I'd have added that exchange here. It was a good 'un.

[Reply #298 on:]

I feel you, Nibbs.

It's what he's feeling that's the issue. Or not feeling.

Melbourne has a moderately ugly stadium named McG, after the director/producer.

The rest of the post didn't live up to this one line.

Now, baby, you know that simply isn't true. Maybe it was just too advanced for you?

OH SNAP.

Oh, come on. He's not talking about terrorizing poor defenseless chickens while gloating over them exclaiming, "No, Mr. Rooster, I expect you die."

Gotta love them good old classic James Bond references.

This is not eligible, but it is Nomination-Worthy.  Therefore:

Xbox: Call of Cthulhu for 10 bucks

For the best experience, play it with the sound high, the lights low, and completely alone.

Pants off, too.

While masturbating.

[Reply #306 on:]

Not any amount of money would sway me. I have too much already.

Then how about lending your old pal JoshTheater a few bucks, Mr. Millionaire?!

It's a car so it would be The Tardis. the CARDIS

Made me laugh way too HARDIS.

From now on, I'll be sharing my Futurama fan dom with my wife.

You have a Futurama fan dominatrix whom you share with your wife? Kinky, Kurt. If you'd only let us know more about your sex life and less about your bizarre theories and ideas for fanfictions that verge on what Futurama must be like in a universe where it sucked as completely as possible but inexplicably stayed on the air, people would probably have been friendlier.

I don't really care to venture an opinion on episode quality right now. I just want to say that I find the acronymization of episode names cumbersome. I like this show. I've watched all the episodes. I own the DVDs. I do not have every episode title memorized so thoroughly that I see "APTR" without any context and immediately think "A Pharaoh To Remember".

It's one thing if the episode in question has already been identified earlier in the post, or in the posts immediately preceding it, but who has time to memorize all of the following to the point where you instantly know what each one means, including variations on capitalization/inclusion of small words like "of" or "the"?

SPT, TSHL, IR, LLLIS, FOABP, AFOD, MTS, ABPOG, HIOR, AFTR, MU, WAA, FATSF, ISTE, BBA, AHITP, XS, WMIBACIL, TLOTE, PYHOMS, RB, ABBFT, ACOMO, HHRHGB, TDS, BGM, MD, TPWP, AOI1, WITHW, TH, TCW, AWITM, PL, ATOTS, TLOTF, TBOIC, BL, TDTESS, TL, TCHR, WTBR, IITM, TROAE, BITW, TKOS, IDAR, ALOHO, APTR, AOI2, RTEW, G, FS, TTPIC, KGKUAN, LH, LAR, LTH, ATOF, BSNBAOT, JB, COTH, TMLH, TWOF, WNFHGB, TS, BH, OF, TFP, THBB, SF, TDHAIP, BBS1, BBS2, BBS3, BBS4, TBWABB1, TBWABB2, TBWABB3, TBWABB4, BG1, BG2, BG3, BG4, ITWGY1, ITWGY2, ITWGY3, ITWGY4, R, IAGDL, AOTKA, PI, TDVC, LI, TLPJF, TDK, ACO, TPOB, LN, TMAR, TFHS, TSOTC, MD, LAO, B, TTOTZ, GITM, N, YLL, FATEM, ATPH, CW, O, R, TBATB, AFTA, DT, TTOB, ZD, TBE, TSMDM, FOAB, FWH, NDW, TCF, VMV, N, FPL, TDB, TTT, FALBF, TIT, SMFP, CT, ACH, LATG, GOT, MOTPE, SAS, M?

Not I.

I'm glad I got #13 with Kurt; I hate when they decide to single out one PEELer!

[Reply #310 on:]

You're calling people "bitch" and cooking up math like a slightly dyslexic Jesse Pinkman.

[Reply #311 on:]

Was gonna post that one in here too...if I wasn't so lazy, that is.

[Reply #312 on:]

Never; it's a different clock.

A cock clock?
I'm having issues coming up with a female version- clam clock doesn't have the same ring to it.

Whatever it is, it takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

How about cooch-oo clock? Oh, that is just trite. Never mind. (I hope it catches on!)

That's why I keep coming here.

Abraham Lincoln invented Lincoln Logs, and became America's greatest President. He had to overcome a number of hardships as a child. For example, Lincoln's mother died in infancy, and he was born in a log cabin which he built with his own hands (see picture). When Lincoln was President, he wore only a tall silk hat (picture unavailable).

By going to war with South America, Lincoln saved the USA from slavery. This led to him writing the Gettysburg Address while travelling to Gettysburg on the back of an envelope. He also freed the slaves and wrote the Fourteenth Amendment to give ex-negroes citizenship.

On the night of April 14, 1955, Lincoln went to the theater and was shot from the Texas Book Depository by John Wilkes Booth, one of the actors in the film. This ended Booth's career as an actor.

Lincoln's life and motivations are explored in the documentary film "Abraham Lincoln; Vampire Hunter". Because it is based on a true story about a real person it is a good source for historians who want to learn more about the period.

Having an argument over an internet forum is akin to two bald men fighting over a comb.

[Reply #319 on:]

Doublepost, and I'm not even sorry.

Anyway, my rant is not from the parent contacting me. I appreciate when parents check in from time to time. My problem is with parents who don't want to discipline, be their child's friend, and then expect others to pick up the slack.

Parenting shouldn't be a cake walk, sometimes people are going to have to play bad cop with their kids, but that's what they signed up for. I didn't. I only signed up for fostering a love of learning! That, and I really wanted to get more girls interested in STEM careers. 

Well you know the saying, "It takes a village to raise your shitbag child".
