⏱ You know you've been spending too much time on TDWTF when...
-
YKYBSTMTOWTDWTFW you use your TDWTF mug as an argument in a discussion.
Filed under: also makes a great planning poker card
-
YKYBSTMTOTDWTFW when you need a new TDWTF mug because the logo has now entirely worn off leaving a blank white mug.
Yeah, technically that's TMTUTDM but that's the same thing
Edit: @apapadimoulis My partner has been a potter and says that if you put the pigment under the glaze it will last forever (underglaze decoration). It that a thing that makes commercial sense? I'd be willing to pay a lot more for one that cant wear off.

Yay for IPB?

It's not bad. I've used worse :)

Be careful what you say next ;)

SimpleMachines on the other hand.......
Not really, it's not bad either. And free. That's always nice...
-
Now I'm trying to work out if you're whooshing or not.
-
No, I was playing into your joke...
I counter your proposed whoosh with a proposed whoosh of my own!
-
Ah so you do know about my murky and fateful past. I'm much better now ;)
-
Aye. It wasn't that terrible to admin though. At least in the small amount of time I was doing that...

At work we use Atlassian Stash, so pull requests are a thing we do.

YKWBSTMTOTW you use the phrase "spellar/gramming issue" in an email...
-
Been there, done that. I commented a master's thesis with "spellarging". Then I had to explain to the supervisor and the examiner what I meant.
-
Odd, had they asked google (like I just did) then they would have immediately hit this forum. Then again, they might still wonder you were talking about after reading some random topic.

Happy Threadaversary!

[title] you see you have 10 likes on a Facebook status and wonder where the badge is

[title] you punctuate a sentence with the word "trolleybus".
As in, "The best Spiderman game was Arkham Asylum, trolleybus."

wait.....
that..........i count 7 different works of fiction that references?
-
i count 7 different works of fiction that references
I don't doubt that you are correct, but I only get 6. (I'm not even sure what 2 of them are, just that they are not from the 4 that blindingly obvious.)
-
How can you not find at least five blatantly obvious?
I assume, though, that the final one is the costume or something.
I get three from the quote and two from the signature.
-
Obvious:
- Harry Potter
- Lord of the Rings (Gandalf)
- Narnia (citation)
- Star Wars (the force)
- Hunger Games ("may the odds be ever in your favor")
Less google-able:
- Sherlock (image)
I only see six as well, apparently
-

* Hunger Games ("may the odds be ever in your favor")
These are the two (of 6) I didn't know the source. I've never seen Hunger Games (if I had, it probably would have been obvious), I didn't recognize the image, and I didn't bother trying to google for anything.- Sherlock (image)
I'm still curious about @accalia's seventh.
-
Like I said, I wouldn't be shocked if the head on the image is on a body from something else. That could result in seven. But I didn't recognize either, so I can't say whether they match.
-
I'm still curious about @accalia's seventh.
huh... well i guess i was wrong then.
not having seen/read the hunger games i think i mixed that reference up a bit.
trouble is, i didnt write it down and now i can't remember what the ones i thought it was were because when i ask my brain for the answer it just tells me "hunger games"
-
-
'd were you.
faster on the draw must you be, hmm?
-
I'm pretty sure that the 'Mr. Potter' is a Matrix ref as well. The lack of a monotone intonation makes it hard to be certain. Had it said Elrond instead of Gandalf, it would have been clearer.

There is insufficient data to support your claim. Professor McGonagall frequently called Harry "Mr. Potter", so it's usage here is not out of place as a stand-alone reference.
-
it is however plausible that that was the seventh reference my brain came up with..... but now it won't tell me what it was counting this morning.

Well, teeeeechnically, isn't Star Wars like 6 works of fiction at the moment? Plus 6 for LOTR, 3 (soon to be 4) for Hunger Games, and how many ever thousand HP movies there are?

You aren't a book person, are you?

Is a book like what @boomzilla used before movies were invented?

I read all of the Hunger Games books and have seen the first movie. FTR, I originally counted six once I dismissed the Mr. Potter as a Matrix reference.
-
I recognised "ever in your favo[spoiler]u[/spoiler]r" as not the phrasing from Star Wars, but didn't get that it was hunger games. I've seen the first film, but it was on an early date with my now wife, so we weren't paying that much attention

Man, it's really that old, this movie...

It's much more than that. Unfortunately. <Arguments about canonicality of EU stuff just irritates me hugely>
-
Yeah, but the EU is now non-canon, therefore fictional fiction rather than true fiction
-
I didn't recognize the image
That's Benedict Cumberbatch.
Besides playing Sherlock in the series with the same name, he voiced Smaug in the Hobbit movies, played Khan in "Star Trek: Into Darkness" and starred as Alan Turing in "The Imitation Game".
