What I Do While Waiting For My Pi Key To Ship

[ripster]

This is of course in reference to the key I originally suggested to the Geekhack crew

http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?3116 ... -Group-Buy



Which I3oilermaker took the idea and ran with it (I'm more of a Big Idea person just like I thought of the GH Awesome and Reddit Look Of Disapproval key. See here under Art&Culture: Link).

Day One:
Watch Matt Groening recite Pi.

Day Two.

Contemplate why Tau might have been a better choice.

I saw this video already. It's pretty interesting.

[ripster]

Ceci n'est pas une pi.


Even more shocking is what google gave me for this as my first hit(too much porn searches?)


"Ceci n'est pas une pipe"

NSFW

Une pipe also means a fellation in french, that's why.

[ripster]

Well, there you go!

That's why I like posting on an International Forum. I will use that bit of trivia to impress Art Major girls.

Sometimes I pretend to be a Turkish prince.

[Djuzuh]

If you want some extra bit of trivia, it comes from "tailler une pipe" which means to cut a pipe, but also means to do a fellation in french, which itself comes from "faire une pipe" which itself means to do a pipe, but once meant to do a fellation (not anymore), and they used to say "faire une pipe" because cigs were also called pipe due to the fact that the amount of tobacco in both is the same. And a fellation is roughly the same as to roll a cigarette, as you first roll it around with your hands, and then end up licking it with your tongue.

Erm....I'm not sure I want to appear to know THAT much about blowing French dicks.

They might think I'm a Metrosexual from Montreal, Canada.

While bored I posted a link to this at Geekhack as SonOfRipster but alas an above average Intelligence GH Moderator musta figured it out because SonOfRipster got permabanned and his 50 posts got deleted.

Somebody else post this for me:

I actually asked about the sample key earlier, and that seems to have encouraged it to go into production! :-)

Day Four.

Today I fantasize about Melissa.

But Y U NO LUV MELISSA GH?

Did you know there is a tiny pi symbol bottom right of every Reddit page?

Day Five

Well, Today I will check the GH link to see if anything new is up...
Maybe I'll copy the pic of the prototype...

Maybe not.

Saftety first.

I'll show a picture of my Espresso Iced Tea In a Pi Glass instead.


- Doubleshot espresso
- 1 Tsp Turbinado Sugar from Trader Joe's (order is important here to dissolve the sugar properly)
- 1/2 glass milk
- Fill with ice
- Drink with Marionberry pie.

hnnnnnnnnng @ coffee

I wish I knew how to take photos

Anybody participating in GB4, here's what you can do while you wait:

Sick fades.

All things considered, raw denim is quite similar to keycaps. Expensive and time consuming, the only differences is that with jeans, "fading" isn't a bad thing.

[Icarium]

..., the only differences is that with jeans, "fading" isn't a bad thing.

Disagree. And the fact that when I go to a clothes store I can only find jeans that look like somebody else has been wearing them for a year is totally retarded.

PLEASE STAY ON TOPIC!

Day Six.

Today I killed time by whining about where my fucking Pi keys are and how come I can't have access to pics...

Oh wait, I back them up so you don't have to.

[longweight]

I ordered 30, can I moan more because of the order size?

[jdcarpe]

I am also anxiously awaiting the arrival of my Pi keys (and H&S keys). Longweight, you can get in line behind me, as I ordered 25 of each color Pi keys, and 100 Hammer and Sickle keys. I think the only one who ordered MOAR H&S keys than I did was Jil_Jil, but I'm pretty sure that was a mini-GB order in itself for the 160 keys. All 100 of mine are going to ME!

Ok ok I will get in line! I ordered 15, wish it had been more like 100!

More ripster photography please, I think Kisa's response will take longer than R4... but that may be a little too much.

This is what it looks like when it's new:

Raw denim isn't treated after dying, so as you wear them, it molds to your body and fades based on your lifestyle, and they really become "your" jeans. Way cooler than prefaded acid wash jeans. Learn more here.

[ripster]

Sigh. You guys know what Pi is or do they not teach that any more in grade school?

Perhaps your memory is faded?

I'll start posting new Lego pics when R4 ships.

Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.

[longweight]

Pi is irrational.

[ripster]

Well, I was talking to the denim dude but you are CORRECT!

And it is irrational since there are no perfect circles since the real world is filled with lumpy atoms. Ask Heisenberg if you don't believe me. Or Schrodinger's cat if he ever finds his fucking cat.

[longweight]

I don't think Heisenberg is certain about that.

[jdcarpe]

Heisenberg may be uncertain about some things, but he makes the best blue crystal, from what I hear.

Schrodinger at least knows where his cat is, he just doesn't know if it's dead or alive, or both.

[ripster]

I don't understand why he doesn't just put a window in the box.

[longweight]

Or just let the cat out of the box.
