...and I was asking her about Bluetooth "dongles". Am I the only person who thinks that "dongle" sounds like some kind of sex toy? :lol:
-
It sounds like a word that's really dirty in the UK but just funny in America.

Did she slap you and run away shrieking?
...
Dongle!
You're right, it does sound dirty.
-
Yes that does sound like something strange.
-
No, she didn't seem to get what I was talking about at first. Then I said, "I'm looking for a cheaper Bluetooth dongle", and she replied, "Oh! Like for printers!"
-
And then a guitar started playing and she took her shirt off?
-
Err, in real life, no... :nervous:
-
Well, it's rather disconcerting to think that somebody decided that "dongle" would be a standard industry term in the first place. :)
-
Next on the list: Whatchamacallit and Thingamabob! :D
-
Doohickey is a technical term... of technical... stuff...
-
Pull my dongle
-
I'm still calling for the replacement of all nouns with a choice of either thing, thingie, thingyjig or thingmybob.
Just imagine how much more sense assembly instructions would make.
To assemble the thing correctly, insert the thingymabob into the left anterior thingie. Make sure to use a thingyjig in order to correctly thing the thingmabob, or alternatively place the thingy within the thingyjig thing.

That's what dreams are for. :p
The good ones, anyway. :sigh:

Reminds me of the time my Cisco teacher had to explain why they're called male and female sockets.
-
Hey baby, wanna see my dongle?
-
I'm amazed that you found a really hot girl at CompUSA! :D
BTW, I'm not sure what you need, but I just got a Zonet Bluetooth dongle (it IS fun to say, dongle! dongle! dongle!) from Newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833130024) for $6...

There's all kinds of hot girls at my CompUSA.
-
Really? They're few and far between at mine. :) I suppose it depends on your definition of 'hot'. I'm thinking "mid-forties, not yet fat, good teeth" ;7
-
Exactly how my grandpa used to choose good horses.

Dinner?

Yes, it does sound dirty. An attractive girl at CompUSA is definitely a rarity. If you're thinking of making a move on her, be smooth. I have a friend that gets hit on at work all the time, but none of the guys are smooth. They are just plain and blunt, so she just blows them off...er, rejects them. Then one day, a lesbian hit on her and she was so smooth and suave, that she almost went with her. This is a skill that takes practice. It'd be best to practice on your girl friends, if you have any, but eventually, you have to go from theory to practice.

I leave eating horses to english people, thank you :doubt:

Better than frogs... :p

Does frog taste like chicken?

That's more of a French (http://www.foodreference.com/html/arthorsemeat.html) thing actually!
-
Well, mind you, I have never eaten horse meat, frogs or snails.
Kara, like hell we are "horse meat afficionados" just because some starving soldiers ate some during a war :rolleyes: It's not because it's written in some obscure website that it's true :p You eblieve everything written on the net? Only people I know who've stated they ate horse were english (or scotish, don't remember), so there :p
-
You should've asked her,
"Does the size of the dongle really matter? Or is it really its performance and longevity?"
-
[color=66ff00]Yeah Kara, what do you think was in that kebab you ate? ;)

And Maeg, I'll have you know kebabs are rat and cat meat, not horse. Shame on you for making such a mistake.
-
It's kinda funny that we'll eat cows, sheep, goats and pigs but somehow draw the line at horses. It isn't like our ancient ancestors wouldn't have been damn glad to get the horsey remains of somebody else's zebra kill.
As far as chickens, why is it that every strange food that people try tastes like chicken? It doesn't matter if its frogs or snakes or grubs or t-rex - it all tastes 'like chicken'. There's only one logical conclusion that can be drawn - chicken tastes horrible but we too dumb to notice.:ick:
-
Well, we never (except in Aberdeen perhaps) 'rode' sheep. Or the rest.
Chicken doesn't have a taste, though. Neither does squid.
-
Oh I beg to differ; squid definitely has a taste. It's the rotten taste of everthing else that comes out of the ocean.
-
From hot compusa girl to horse and squid meat.... what a strange thread.
-
You forgot the dongle! :cool:
-
Can't say i've heard of riding a sheep... Though cow tipping is fin...
My second middle school had laptops with network adaptor dongles... You know, the one with an rj-45 female end on one end, and the other is a little tiny 8 pin plug that fits a special pc card... Those things broke more ofthen from touching them... And they needed a damned work order to replace them... They cost like $12 too... :sigh:

I think Aldo's link shows what bollocks that is.
The French are famous for eating horsemeat (although ironically the Italians eat more). It's probably cause you eat snails and frogs legs too so horse goes on the list of weird s**t the French eat.

Nope. I don't pull facts out of my arse and then complain at people who know better for proving me wrong either.
If you want to have a go at the English at least get something correct. It's getting embarrassing having to correct you all the time :p

Probably while on holiday in France too. You know the cool kids were all doing it and they just wanted to fit in :p

Earing a foreigner say he knows better than me about french cultiure, even if it's just a pathetic attempt at luring me into an arguiment (I'm not THAT dense :p) is kind of funny, you know ;)
just to end it, I'll reply that even if someday I have the opportunity to eat frog or horse (which I gather can be found only in extra expensive restaurants that only tourists from other countries go to :p), I'll glady take that over that:

Haggis is ****ing sick, no matter what you say, I mean, just look at that thing :p

hurh!
-
That's Scottish you maroon! :p
And you're the one who started this with the foolish claim that the English eat horse so stop acting as if I'm the only one making claims about the other's culture.
-
Scotish, british, same deal, it's YOU guys who invaded them to get them in your country :p
"What do you eat?
-I eat puke:
(http://img1.travelblog.org/Photos/1034/2460/f/7762-Mmmm--Haggis-0.jpg)"
Talk about frogs ~~
edit: and stop editing your posts, makes following the conversation difficult :p
-
Technically it's not about culture but statistics; France consumes more horse meat than any other country bar Italy and is famous for it.
As for haggis; yum. After all, it's not any worse than what goes into your average burger - it's just honest about it. now, if it was made from horse offal, that'd be pretty bad.
EDIT; That's turnips & potatoes. Basic food group.
Oh, and the English never successfully occupied Scotland. The unifacation of the crowns was when a Scottish monarch took the two thrones of England and Scotland.

But Scottish != English and you started this by insulting the English. The English don't eat haggis. If you want to insult the scots then it's up to Aldo and Vyper to defend their nations honour but you're only making a fool of yourself if you're trying to defend your claim that the French eat better than the English because we eat haggis cause we don't touch the stuff!
-
If he said black pudding he'd have had a point. Then again, AFAIK the British Isles have never been regarded as culinary nations.
-
Exactly. Which is why I find it so funny that he's trying to defend the haggis position instead :D
-
On the other side
French, German, same deal, it's YOU guys who invaded them to get them in your country

I was just thinking of maybe starting a conversation with her and ask her her number. I guess I could try seducing her in the middle of CompUSA though. :p
"Hello"
"Hi! Is there something I can help you with?"
"Ever since the day I met you I've been in love with you. My heart cries out to be the one that you call 'love'. Everything here is so hard and plastic...but you are soft and smooth. Please, give me a kiss and-OW! OW! Stop! That case is metal!"

Everyone just sit down and have a hot dog.

Umm, the "different address" thing? It's not a problem for me - they frown on my getting deliveries at work, anyway. As far as the rebate itself, I'm not particularly worried. I've already gotten a rebate from Zonet (for a USB2 broad) with no problem. Besides, I trust Newegg.
-
I was referring to the name. :p
I know it's not THE an0n, but still a little odd.
-
Oh. I hadn't noticed :cool:

:blah: What do you get all excited about? I didn't insult anybody, as far as I know, and you're taking other people comments a bit too seriously, methinks :p (and I didn't start it, Aldo did, but I didn't bite his thigh out because of it, as it was obviously a joke - and I don't think he places his nations honour on the fact scots eat haggis or not, btw :blah:-).
Sorry, I've had my fun, but I'll stop there, since you're getting on your high horses (hahaha). Don't like overexcited people, they don't make good game partners ^^
-
Jesus Nico you really need to learn to take a joke :p
-
posts w/o smileys are no jokes :p That's why I put smileys everywhere, the posts I don't put smileys in, means I'm serious. The post I quoted was a serious post :p (i'll add one more to be sure: :p.)
Anyway it's over, cool, shhh ^^ Let's have a hotdog, as don't know who said, good... mmmh...-I'llletyoucheckwhatcountrymadeitfirst- food :D

Guys, face it... French cuisine, English "cuisine" - they both pale in comparison to a good lamb schawarma in a pita, overflowing with hummus, hot spread, tomato-cuccumber salad, pickles, onions, fries, and a healthy dollop of yellow goo. YUM! :D

Yellow goo! Thats my favoritest! :D

pleh. Jewish 'cuisine' is even lower than northern European cuisine. :p
(Except for a good roast beef, or pastrami sandwich)
Italian food > Chinese Food > *

Tuna Salad > *
Nothing beats tuna!

[color=66ff00]I sense a disturbance in the Europe, as if 650 million people cried out and were suddenly forced to eat dodgy cuisine.
Anyhow, regarding dongle size:
Long and thin goes too far in and does not please the ladies but short and thick will do the trick and manufactures babies.
