Over the course of this week, we'll be offering a preview of our plans for the new C2 site. Today's Taste of C2 features Time Capsules: A History Forum.The Time Capsules forum will be hosted by the amazing Pi Guy. We're excited to present this forum, which will no doubt be a favorite of many. Here you'll find Pi Guy's popular feature, Today in History. Feel like talking about Fat Man and Little Boy or celebrating the upcoming Marine Corps birthday on November 10th? Whether your thing is world history or American history, you'll be able to discuss it here.
As most of you already know (or might surmise from his nic), Pi Guy is rather fond of math, and publishes the Grey Matters blog. He doesn't mind being referred to as an uber-geek, and while you're in there, go ahead and ask him what day of the week your birthday fell on in 1974. He can tell you. Really! How cool is that?
Thanks for all your work already, Pi Guy!
ReplyDeleteAll:
I don't think he'll be here until later tonight, but use this thread to say hello to the Pi Guy the Uber Geek, ask questions about the new place, talk about the weather...whatever.
(Hey Pi Guy, if you want to let everyone know what you've been working on, that would be cool!)
So what day of the week did the Marine Corps birthday fall on in 1974?
ReplyDeleteSo what day of the week did the Marine Corps birthday fall on in 1974?
ReplyDeleteThat was somewhere between a Sunday and a Saturday I think.
By the way, for the historically-inclined, and America-loving types, don't forget that tomorrow is Constitution Day - so celebrate one of the greatest political documents ever to come from the minds of men.
ReplyDeleteNice.
ReplyDeleteThanks to Pi Guy for doing this.

Wow, we have a money forum, a science forum, fruitcup forum. Anything else planned to put into the new place?
ReplyDeleteD/S - good question. LOL
ReplyDeleteWe'll be celebrating this November 10th on C2 - we hope you'll be bringing the cake.
Ummm, got too excited. Meant history forum instead of science. :p
ReplyDelete/brain shutting down post work.

ReplyDeleteWe need a Forum Czar !

P2, plans are trickling out. So far announced:
ReplyDeleteFriends of Israel, hosted by Carl in Jerusalem
Help and Support, hosted by Running Bare
All About the Benjamins, hosted by 3wood
Time Capsules: A History Forum, hosted by Pi Guy
The front page will be "The Daily Broadside" - logo made its debut this morning on Running Bare's morning news thread.
There's one more to be announced, I think, and a couple more possibilities being kicked around.
One of those may be a military forum, and we're taking naming suggestions (though we think we may have stumbled on it last night).
If anybody has one, we're looking for something a little creative, edgy, pertaining to all the branches...please let us know if anything strikes you, and we'll throw it into the hat.
The logo will PROBABLY have the Iwo Jima Memorial in it, 'cause my dad was on Iwo, and I make the logos around here. : )
Hmmm military forum name. Might have to start dredging up some military quotes to mangle nicely for that. ;)
ReplyDeleteForum Czar! Digging that. Hmmmmm...what to use for an avatar...
ReplyDeleteP2, good idea!
ReplyDeleteOT OT OT
ReplyDeleteAfternoon ellybelly! Bruce Bawer LIVE from Montreal at 19:00 - approximately 30 minutess from now.
He also spoke in Ottawa last night but I was unable to attend - dammit.
Go here: http://vladtepesblog.com/
There's also all kinds of other great stuff there so have a look around - it an Ottawa blog.
BBL - I'm in the middle of making some pecan-caramel-buttery-cinnamon-sticky buns for the office tomorrow. They're to DIE for - trustame.
{REALWEST} If you're here: *smooooooochie-smooch* Thinking 'boutcha, luv.
We could use some of those sticky buns over here, Miss Trixie. How about it?
ReplyDeleteGoodgrief! I've been back on the ACORN thread, wondering why nobody would talk to me!
ReplyDeleteHey Miss Trixie, Phil, realwest, C2. How ya'll all doing today?
ReplyDeletePinkie, I thought I said something over there about a new thread upstairs...am I losing it?
ReplyDeleteIf I had to guess, I'd say I'm the one losing it!
ReplyDeleteI'm in the middle of garage-sale prep, otherwise known as 'visiting with all kinds stuff I forgot I had'. I was taking a break and just ended up at the bottom of the thread in the wrong browser window.
Ding!! (That's the bell signalling end of break-time.) I shall return!
Come back as soon as you can! WE MISS YOU.
ReplyDeleteHi Pinkie, by Pinkie. Hi also to Miss Trixie. We have to figure out how to send cooked stuff long distance over the intertubes. Caramel pecan sticky buns sounds lots better then what I am having for dinner.
ReplyDeleteHi y'all!
ReplyDeleteHas an introductory date been set yet to open the new site?
Is there anything for us to prepare, for example do I need to dust off my sundays finest suit or prepare any special celebratory foods?
Will we need to learn seecreet greeting formulae or do we need to give our get-away car a last check-up incase the whole thing comes tumblin' down upon us?
/ Again questions upon questions. /
Hey Callahan...just polish your 44, that should do it.
ReplyDeleteIIRC, RB said it may kick off early next week.
Ummmmmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteMiss Trixie's sticky buns.
Hi Jorline ... I am not allowed to own a gun in this country. :-(
ReplyDeleteThat being said I might give my swiss-armies-officers knife a real good sharpening and polish.
I hope I'll be there, early next week.
I might miss the roll out on Sunday. Usually got stuff going on in the afternoon/early evening that day. Will try and get on before bed time though.
ReplyDeleteI am really terribly sorry to shorten my stay today again. Need to take this drama-in-the-family phone call. See you all tomorrow.
ReplyDelete- - -
Gals, guys 'n 'menschen'.
See y'all down the road.
I love {y’all) Really!
...drama-in-the-family phone call...
ReplyDeleteIs there any other kind? ;-)
Bye Cal23. Did you taken the rest of the C2ers with you?
ReplyDeleteI AM STANDING UP!
ReplyDelete;-)
Hiya, Erik! :-) I thought I was on the wrong thread...
Busy listening to Bruce Bawer, and having dinner.
ReplyDeleteI'm planning my Rosh Hashana thread/post.
ReplyDelete/me and YouTube against the world...
Really like the History Forum! Hi Pi guy, wherever you are.
ReplyDeleteHiya, PBJ! :-)
ReplyDeletecrap
ReplyDeleteso where is this taxfreekiller goof
ReplyDeleteoh, well who cares any how
ReplyDeleteHi right back, Little Old Lady. Have a wonderful Rosh HaShana!
ReplyDeleteBwhahahaha!
ReplyDeleteOr something like that
;-)
Hello Blah2. TFK is coming here? Woot!
ReplyDeleteSeeing as everyone is using new nics, can I get one?
ReplyDeleteHow about;
Erik The Wonderful
Erik The Great
Erik The Hunk
Erik The Invincible
Erik The Stud
On second thoughts I will stay with ETR. :)))
Thanks, PBJ! I'm cracking up with some of these videos on YouTube. But I don't want to show them now because I may want to use them on Friday!
ReplyDeleteI kinda like Erik the Invincible. :-)
ReplyDeleteBuy anything today?
I kinda like Erik the Invincible. :-)
ReplyDeleteBuy anything today?
Nope. Saw two gas stations that maybe promising. Doing the numbers now.(or my guru is). Nothing on the home front. I have champagne taste on a scotch budget.
Are you looking to stay in Central Florida, Erik?
ReplyDeleteHi everyone, it's break time again.
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Blah2! Glad you joined us!
Erik, you're perfect as is! :-)
Erik, have you checked out the Cocoa Beach area? It's really nice, has a great smaller-town feel, and still close to Orlando.
ReplyDeleteMy yard sale is next Saturday, Pink. But I'm already having nightmares about it...
ReplyDeleteAre you looking to stay in Central Florida, Erik?
ReplyDeleteYes at least until my two girls are done with HS. So i have at least eight years. I love it here so far, so it will not be hard to stay. I don't want to see that 'white shit" ever again.
Oh. "White shit".
ReplyDelete/MORE nightmares :-(
Littleoldlady, I predict many C2 breaks for you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a job this has turned out to be! ....and I haven't even tackled the outdoor storage yet!
Good thing I'm not a *real* packrat, just a mediocre one.
One more word of advice, Lol:
ReplyDeleteOnce you get it out the house, DON'T LET IT BACK IN! Everything left goes to Goodwill.
Me, I'm world-class. It's in the DNA. My family's motto is: Don't throw that out! It's still good. You never know when you might need it.
ReplyDeleteMy aunt goes to the thrift store in Florida...buys a bunch of stuff...takes it home...decides she doesn't want it....SHIPS it to me...I stick the stuff in the Purple Heart box.
I'm absolutely CONVINCED that Purple Heart ships my stuff to that little thrift shop in Florida!
the sound of trees falling and no one there
ReplyDeleteLoL: LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe wheat needs to be mowed. (Is wheat "mowed"?) The cows needs to be milked. And I have a fence to mend.
ReplyDeleteHowdy, blahblah! :-)
One more word of advice, Lol:
ReplyDeleteOnce you get it out the house, DON'T LET IT BACK IN! Everything left goes to Goodwill.
ROFLMAO that has to be the funniest advice I have heard. Wish my mom enforced that with my dad. I cleaned the basement out once with my brothers, just once. My dad is a HUGE packrat, and he moved everything back in. My mom told him that he would clean out the basement on his own when it needed doing again. Never got cleaned out again...
So, it is realwest fault, he told me to late
ReplyDeleteto use only taxfreekiller so, my mind selected
blahblah just because,,,,
realwest is at supper and that other stuff now
I have my ear to the ground.
ReplyDeleteSilent fire.

ReplyDeleteMaybe we need a Jon Carry thread. ;-)
ReplyDeleteP2, I am determined ...I have crap I don't even remember having! I think this stuff breeds ....
ReplyDeleteSterling suggestion, PBJ! We want everyone to feel welcome and I can't think of a better way.
ReplyDeleteblahtfkblah,
ReplyDeleteWhatever you use WE ARE VERY HAPPY YOU ARE HERE! :-)
Welcome blah/tfk. Glad you choose to join us here. :)))
Greetings blahblah. A very homey blog so far, just make yourself at home.
ReplyDeletePink:P2, I am determined ...I have crap I don't even remember having! I think this stuff breeds ....
It does breed, when you aren't watching. It takes up that storage space you were sure you had one time long ago....
It takes up that storage space you were sure you had one time long ago....
ReplyDeleteAnd then you have to move to a bigger place for your "stuff", and then...well the next thing you know you're moving in with Erik at his champagne place.
;-)
OMG ... blahblah ... Hey! so friggin great to see you ... does this mean I have to stop with the single blah? ... dang ...

Still raining here ... perfect afternoon to be off ...
Oh ... and the graphics around here are great ...
littleoldlady: Why would I want to move to Florida? Most of those homes don't have a proper basement for storage. ;)
ReplyDelete/only thing they have going for them is that whole no snow thing...
how do you scroll down without posting?
ReplyDeleteHannity has more just now.
ReplyDeleteand Mark Levin too.
No snow = no basement. I can't win, can I? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI have a friend in South Florida who bought a foreclosure house to flip and it actually DOES have a basement. She tells me she's thinking of having it filled in!
