We know what was purchased but not by whom.

So start buying!

I apologize for my absence the past week, I had to deal with a personal emergency.

I know Even/Odds kept things running well during my absence. I won't have time to catch up on the boards, so if anyone asked a question of me that requires my response please send me an email or a PM.

Thanks

Oh great, so we won't be ridiculed by name, just by our taste in music, books, etc.... Ought to have a thread for this and try to predict who it was: "Somebody bought Yanni today!!"

The Justin Timberlake CD was for a friend, ahem, by the way...

You are always better off saying: "it was for my 12 year old niece."

O.K. e/o, you got me. Somebody over 21 must like him because he's sold out 2 over 21 shows at the House of Blues here... Not me, of course.

The information isn't generally available, and I promise, I won't mock anyone for purchasing a Yanni CD. Well...maybe Yanni, but only in that specific instance.

Mocking and Yanni aside, so far we have had 18 items purchased for a total value to Amazon.com of just over $300. In return, we have earned just under $20. They give a pretty decent percentage for purchasing through the site.

Thanks to those who have used the link so far.

Wow, that is a decent percentage. Cool!

Feel free to attribute all purchases of classic horror DVDs to me - it probably is me, so taunt away.

We should be much higher than that now. Turns out I am an amazon junkie. And in return amazon.com hearts me. But who doesn't?

Amazon update
 
People have purchased 148 items at a total cost of $2745.48. On this we have earned about $150. This averages out to about 5.5%. The percentage varies by type of item purchased.

We have had this link since June.

Thanks to everyone who is using the link.

With the holidays coming it would be most cool if y'all would do your best to remember to use it.

Thanks again,

We have a modest glossary here. Conveniently, we have a "timmy" entry. :)


In general, it means "Three Letter Acronym." There might be a FB-specific definition, but I don't know of one (if any FB-Regular has a different answer, please post).

What does it mean in context?

The post I cited responded to my use of HTH so it could have been used in the sense 'ooooo, look, the newbie used a TLA'. But, that would be pretty lame and on the FB should have elicited its own round of flames. Or, it could mean something else I just don't get. Or, soup sandwich could be someone that the other posters just don't flame. Or, ........

It's so confusing.

I didn't quite understand the context of soup sandwich's post either.

Not every lame thing on the FB gets flamed. There are a variety of reasons why certain posts or posters are not torched: (1) the poster is being ignored by most of the pyromaniacs; (2) the content of the post is not particularly flameworthy (e.g., an FB-Regular is giving a newbie a hard time); (3) there are other, more interesting flame wars going on that merit undivided attention; (4) the post is ambiguous (i.e., is it a flame? an inside joke? neither?) and therefore cannot easily be turned into a flame or a joke that doesn't sound lame; (5) the usual flamers are having a good day at work and are feeling pretty upbeat; (6) etc.

These are just casual observations from a non-FB-Regular. If any FB-Regular has a better explanation, em is encouraged to weigh in.

90% of all posts are flotsam. when you're new, people don't give you slack on your 90% because they haven't seen enough of your 10%. Pick your shots and try and increase you % by culling the mediocre for awhile. ain't nothing more, I don't think. although I'm still pretty new there.

When you take pictures from other sites and hot link to them, which is what happens when you click on img and put a link in there to a picture, some sites will replace that with another picture in order to discourage the hotlinking.

No real harm done. Just double check when you post an image that it is what you meant it to be.

It's only about a year and a half old, and I think this response qualifies is an original whiff. Ruling, TM?

What does it say about TM's aging process that he's focused on analyzing whiffs rather than blow jobs?

In that case, wondering if I could grab some constructive feedback on a site I'm developing.

It's sort of like "MySpace.com" for lawyers.

I'd appreciate any suggestions and input that you'd have.

(I'm not an attorney. I'm an entrepreneur, but I deal with the legal market regularly.)

For the purpose of collecting feedback and constructive criticism only, I'll share the link on the forum after I have your permission to do so.

Let me know if this is alright, and I'll post the link.

Thanks,

-Chris

We don't do much law here. See, this is where we come to avoid work. Although, now that I think about it, look at the number of posts some of us have and that may tell you volumes about practicing law and its attraction.

Special_K 09-08-2006 01:48 PM

@Hank in a different thread - I'm not sure, maybe postcount has been turned off in this forum?

@taxwonk - Heh, I came from an anti fraud site and was just looking for a little more info on law as it relates to advance fee fraud, check/money order scamming and fake banks. Back to Google I guess. :)
