Completely Random Thoughts ...

With inflation, are thoughts now two pennies?

[Pak-Man]

Our thought-value is inversely proportionate to inflation, and therefore will always be a penny.

For my 2 cents:
I made this gif in 1996, so you’re saying I don’t need to update it?

[Pak-Man]

The fact that someone offering their thoughts throws in “their two cents” but someone ASKING for your thoughts offers “a penny for your thoughts” says a lot about perceived value vs. actual value.

These days “gif” means “animated”. No motion means yes updation.

The second penny is the air’s toll fee. Gently placed thoughts are exempt.

Why is deleting a directory not called a directomy?

Because rm -rf is easier to type?

Playing Fallout New Vegas while listening to Paula Cole’s “Where Have All The Cowboys Gone” on repeat just hits different.

I don’t know if I could really get a whole thread from this, so I’m parking it here for now:

We need to devise our own imaginary newly-found Coleman Francis film for one or all of the new hosts (and/or Joel) to riff.

Obviously it will be in black and white, and have an airplane, and be really depressing. But beyond that, there are many possibilities for us to workshop.

What is this gibberish language you speak?!?!?!

[Pearls_Mint]

Oooh The Lost Coleman Tapes

Does it have to be era-appropriate or could it be, like, Coleman’s take on a Dan Brown novel?

[CLANG_Potroast]

Our only limit is the sky, plus how many malts we can afford this week.

It is easier. And what’s easier to type than a forward slash? Hardly any extra effort!

But couldn’t you just go rm -rf /{,.} --no-preserve-root?

That seems friendlier than “directomy”: “directatomy”? “directomy”? “directotomy”? I can’t spell it!

[glmdgrielson]

…you fool.

Well the inspiration film is certainly grim enough… now that I’m thinking about grim depressing movies, something by Cormac McCarthy would fit the bill nicely.

Cormac by Coleman!

[duaneiac]

I think Coleman Francis would have branched out some, perhaps made a children’s movie. Like Rebecca of Desolation Creek Farm.

[optiMSTie]

A Coleman Francis animated movie would somehow look worse than anything we saw on Clutch Cargo.
