Cool Chicks with Black Priuses/Prii

So I had a thought this morning! And I normally make it until noon before having any.

I went to my Profile to see if I could add BLACK to either the My Car: or Package: spots under my avatar. I understand that my signature identifies me as a Cool Chick with Black Prius, but that is just not enough. Being that WE (Black Prius owners) are the coolest of all of the Prius Owners I believe we are entitled to an extra descriptor category to identify.

Do you think Danny would understand our entitlement to this?

I may err on the side of self-importance, but this time it is for the team!!

Greetings and Salutations from Rufaro and wotsername:

Good thought Naomi...but with Danny either in his run up to his wedding or on his honeymoon, I don't think this one'll catch his attention just now.

I just did a wee (!) experiment...and the answer is...just post 468 more posts, and you, too, can amend the caption under your avatar... B)

I notice that you have nearly 1,100 posts in less than 3 months- that's an average of almost 13 posts per day! You must not get much sleep at night!
This is really a mindless post on my part- I'm trying to run my count up to 1,000.

Busted. Can you say C8H10N4O2 (and yeah, the numbers are subscripts, but, despite my apparent lack of a life, I can't figure out how to make 'em happen here...) (google it...I did! B) )
(and you didn't need to do the math your own self...this is from my profile: Total Cumulative Posts 1,101
( 12.5 posts per day / 0.39% of total forum posts )

Scary, huh?

Spent too much of my life in a different time zone and haven't got over the jet lag yet. :blink:

Another one of my favorite substances
I like doing my own math- I have to use my advanced degree in applied mathematics for something!

Note to Danny- as some of us are lately doing a lot of chemical equations on Priuschat, we need a way to incorporate subscripts/superscripts.

 

gah! no! it's bad enough at work!!!

Man, you guys are scaring me over here!! What have I gotten myself into?!?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(larkinmj @ Aug 21 2006, 08:31 PM) [snapback]307308[/snapback]</div>

I believe so...

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Rufaro @ Aug 22 2006, 08:12 AM) [snapback]307419[/snapback]</div>

Yep! I keep wondering how I could possibly ever feel like I have that much interesting information to share. But guess what I realized, It doesn't have to be interesting to anyone, not even myself. And really, if I did think it was interesting and/or valid, that is no guarantee it would be so to anyone else!!

I am overcoming the years of self-doubt and fear of rejection by simply following my true hearts desire: a personalized avatar!!!! (Stewart Smalley is near, I feel it)

His actually doing it is less important than the acknowledgement that it SHOULD be done!

From a different angle, Red Skelton once told the story of how his daughter told him that she hoped that she was smarter than he is when she's his age. He replied 'young lady, I hope that you know as much as you think you know when you're my age'.

Note to Mike...Danny is otherwise occupied...And, sheesh, all of us weren't invited...wonder why? (And I have to use my unadvanced degree in Mass Communications/Journalism w/ a Psych minor for something...)

But Galaxee, are you not at work NOW? (and I hope you don't mind, but I have, um, borrowed, "gah" more than once, but with the correct citation...it's a VERY useful ejaculation...and get yer mindz out of yer pantz, guyz..."an abrupt emphatic exclamation expressing emotion," per Google...

Rancid, all will become clear...in about 23 or 4 years (evil grin smiley here) (while I still have at least a coupla years to go to that mark)(groan smiley here).

GAH! (Thanx Galaxee!)

AMEN!

Then there are those of us who just keep running our <strike>mouths</strike> keyboards, knowing full well it is nothing more than pure self-indulgence. And all of YOU have scroll wheels and/or arrows!

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Rufaro @ Aug 22 2006, 11:27 AM) [snapback]307532[/snapback]</div>

i am, i am at work... waiting on a very slooooowwww machine. i probably should be reading my stats book, come to think of it. no chemical equations today, but yesterday was full of em.

i got "gah" from the blogosphere, but you can cite me if you like :lol:

 

heh heh, I'm still looking for members of the black chicks in cool prius club

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(galaxee @ Aug 22 2006, 08:40 AM) [snapback]307548[/snapback]</div>

No experiments to do today, eh? At least you don't have that A-hole of a boss breathing down your neck (or rather, screaming at you!) anymore. Something to be thankful for I guess...

 

for once! the past few weeks have been a blur. :blink:

now i'm in diagnostic mode, which means running (an 8-9 hour day) , counting and analyzing one full assay (~1-1.5 days) before starting the next. i should have data to analyze by 3pm today.

eta: the new boss is *fantastic*

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(galaxee @ Aug 22 2006, 08:50 AM) [snapback]307557[/snapback]</div>

I'm so happy to hear that! It sounded like you were being reamed a new one daily by that other guy, it's good you got the hell out of there and onto bigger & better things.

 

Jennifer- just keep a fresh memory of the "terrible twos". You will see this stage countless times again during the teen years.

 

yep, that's about how it was. this project is going places and the new boss is a very good mentor. i may actually graduate one of these years :lol:

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(withersea @ Aug 22 2006, 09:46 AM) [snapback]307587[/snapback]</div>

Haha, I have a niece and a nephew who turned 2 over the course of the summer. I'm becoming quite familiar with these terrible two's after babysitting one of them for an entire Sunday afternoon. WOW is all I have to say about that experience. :blink:

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Prius Green @ Aug 21 2006, 11:55 PM) [snapback]307322[/snapback]</div>

Maybe we can start a mature chicks branch of the cool chicks in black Prii club. Keep us updated on your new ride. Hope you got to pick it up as expected and that you are enjoying learning all about it.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Rufaro @ Aug 22 2006, 09:58 AM) [snapback]307448[/snapback]</div>

I noticed recently that I will need to post a lot more to catch up to you even though I joined the board sooner. I guess I need to put that menopausal insomnia to better use. I save the chemical substance for becoming functional in the morning after not sleeping once again. :blink:

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(JackDodge @ Aug 22 2006, 10:46 AM) [snapback]307553[/snapback]</div>

I did a double take on that one! lol
