The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.

Not near enough Ira Glass appreciation in this forum.
Each week's show loosely centers on a particular theme. The theme of the show is explored in several "acts", usually two to five. On occasion, an entire program will consist of a single act. A notable exception was the show "20 Acts in 60 Minutes", which broke the normal convention by presenting twenty acts in one hour. Each act is produced using a combination of staff and freelance contributors.
Content varies widely by episode, and stories are often told as first-person narratives. The mood of the show ranges from gloomy to ironic, from thought-provoking to humorous. The show often addresses current events, such as Hurricane Katrina in "After the Flood". Listeners may be introduced to novel subjects and issues as well, since the program covers fringe groups within the USA as well as international matters. Often This American Life features stories which explore aspects of human nature, such as "Kid Logic", which presented pieces on reasoning of children.
I swear in the holy name of Great Cthulu, Dreamer in the Deeps, that at least 4 of the 8 minutes in any given Queen song are the best music ever created by the hand of God or Man.

Man, the judge who jailed children for money sounds like some kind of cartoon villain.

"Waltz time" is not really a time, but an indicator of the 3/4 nature of a waltz. A waltz will either be 3/4, which is ONE two three ONE two three or 6/8 time, which can be simply doubled 3/4 (ONE two there FOUR five six) but is more rhythmically interesting when it is ONE two three four FIVE SIX ONE two three four FIVE SIX
But seriously, seven grown men's penises in a few hours. I earned this fucker. Elendil only saw half as many.
Drug test day?
For the whole command. So after waiting in line for a few hours I hit the magic time where they sent the people that went through first home and replaced them with new people. Had I just been a little later I quite possibly never would have had this wonderful OP.
Gah, I go away for a few minutes and you guys make a new chat, it never fails. I dunno how many times I've gotten the "you can't post here, this thread is closed...idiot" error.
Did I miss any interesting forum drama over the last few days?
I have been enduring overtime in an attempt to stave off poverty. Especially since how much I get paid this year is apparently being decided by the whims of the tabloids.

Obs and Duna were hilariously stupid last night. I mean that's not out of the ordinary, but some of it was laugh out loud good stuff.
Also who did that one AlphaPi whatever alt end up being?
Depending on the type of test they dont need much at all. Usually even if you got nothin' you can squeeze enough out.
Just bathroom shy. Have to need to go badly to go on command at all. Do you know if that's one of the first things they do? If so I could not go in the morning then I'll be able to go whether I want to or not.

I was here, and I don't remember laughing. What did they say again?

45 ml is the minimum. The advice I gave to my three no goes was to leave the bottle on the urinal until they started urinating. Holding it in front of you can create more pressure.

He never said but I don't think it's anyone we disliked as a community, so it doesn't really matter. He probably has a good reason for remaining anonymous. Clearly he's being "openly" anonymous, so the mods are cool with it. Personally I'd just leave it at that.

No brackets, boring title and OP, late as fucking hell
Jesus Christ you suck
You don't know how to properly use a penis. Quid at least is an expert.
I don't mind the thread. My complaint was the lack of brackets.
You lost a chat to complete and utter happenstance.
Though mine really did go best with the comic.
I was kinda hoping your chat would be about penises.
Drug test day?
What kind of horrible cartoons are you watching?
Snidely Whiplash has standards.

I used to have to take lots of drug tests. All athletes did at my school.
The only benefit from it is that I can pretty much pee on command infront of anyone. I haven't figured out how to best use this skill, however.
Well it's not his fault the first shot blinded him.
You fail as a human
I'm gonna be fucked at MEPS with my inability to do this.

Horribly tired. Think I'll go to bed and read a bit. (By which I mean skim through one page and then fall asleep.)
