Topic intent: Every little random tidbit that doesn't deserve its own topic can be posted here.
Especially posts that don't warrant a lengthy discussion.

I'll start with: Tsunami Bomb - Take The Reigns would make a great song for Guitar Hero.

60 pages in and look where we are now!

* I've noticed that American branded pre-bagged teas are almost always portioned to brew weak tea. Which is strange for a country that likes our coffee strong....

I've been to America once. I had coffee. It was VERY watered down. Seriously. Come to Sweden and we'll show you how to make nice and strong coffee.

This is why i hate 'random discussion' threads, it sucks up all the other little threads.
Like the cookie cutter thing, its big enough to have its own thread.

This is a general discussion forum there should be no topic thats too little, if people don't think its worth commentating on it will soon drop off the page.

How dare you insult Cookie Clicker by calling it "cookie cutter"...

We need to do something about this...

You mean we weren't talking about WoW character builds?

Does anyone else wonder if Tables knows Chairs in real life?

We (probably) don't. Chairs first post on this forum was a reply to me, I believe, which I assume is also where he got his name from.

I only like my coffee latte'd, macchiato'd, frappucino'd, or otherwise drowned in sugar and cream.

You must not be getting served a macchiato but some starbucks, americo-bastardized lecherous incantation that has usurped the the name macchiato. There is no sugar nor cream in a macchiato.

*caramel macchiato'd. Or mocha'd.

I'm not a big fan of Starbucks, but I'm definitely only familiar with mainstream American coffee trends.

There are a few Starbucks here in Oz now.  Pretty hilarious.

The Verismo is pretty good, though, I'll admit.  Better than the Keurig crap, not pretentious like a Nespresso.

Regarding whether it makes a difference whether milk is added to the cup before or after filling the cup with tea brewed in a pot... this discussion is what prompted one of the earliest "modern" statistical taste tests.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_tasting_tea

A taste distinction could come from that adding relatively cold dairy to something hot tends to curdle the dairy a little. Adding brewed tea to milk "tempers" the milk.

Not sure if we have a riddle thread, but I just got asked this question on a job assessment:

A man has just finished painting his house and needs something. He goes to a hardware store and asks for help in finding what he needs. The clerk shows him where the objects are and tells him that they cost $1 each. The man says: "I'm taking 600, so here's $3." What did he buy?

I totally whiffed and am curious as to whether anyone else can solve it.

[WalrusMcFishSr]

Uh, house number maybe? Like he needs $1/digit?

Edit: spoilers just in case

I received Guilds for Christmas! Surprisingly enough, this time the translation is excellent and some things actually ended up better than in the original version IMO (of course, the Butcher, Baker and Candlestick Maker thing is totally lost in translation). For example, when I read the English card list, it was confusing that the expansion was called Guilds, but there was only one guild in it, the merchants'. The name of that card in Finnish is simply "Kilta" (Guild) - well, there are ten of them, makes perfect sense.

Also got the Seafarers expansion for Catan, Puerto Rico and some 2003 Yong Pin Hao "Yin Hao Tuo" pu'erh tea.
