Are there any brick-and-mortar stores these days (US) that don't sell ridiculously overpriced HDMI cables? I thought RadioShack would, but they've given in, too.

Could someone tell me some awesome costume ideas that are easy/cheap to make? The theme is forbidden fruit. If you can, work a giant penis into it (I am pro at making 2 foot long penises).

Not a hoax! under-tec.com Although, if you're lactose intolerant to a degree (such as a lack of dairy) and milk makes you have toxic farts, I recommend drinking milk every day for 2 weeks to rebuild your tolerance. Unfortunately, everyone will have to suffer for those 2 weeks. I was wondering, is there an "advanced" or "ultimate" edition of the board game Guess Who? I want to play a hard version of this, with like 50 cards or something. Kobalt fucked around with this message at 09:32 on Sep 21, 2010 |

Where can I get pumpkin ale in the UK? Two years ago there were tons of varieties in supermarkets, but since then there's been nothing, ever, anywhere that I can find. Or is there a better thread for asking this in?

Bored but curious but did the old furry=ban still hold up to this day or did the conditions change? On top of that. Are there any other potentially bannable offences that are not written as rules?

So I finally bought a bike from the local bike store, and the large caps at the top of the front shocks are differing colors; the one on the left is silver and flat while the one on the right is raised and black. Is this normal from the factory? The thing was supposed to be brand new.

Where did "SOMETHINGAWFUL DOT COM!" (as in yelling that) come from? I think it was some thread where a goon wrote about his IRL interaction with real humans and he yelled that out as a final parting, sorta like a gang member would yell out "5th street crips!" after a drive-by.

Was originally going to post this as its own thread, but changed my mind when I realized it's probably only of interest to me. This sounds pretty weird, even to me, but it's something that I'm quite curious about at the moment. I'm about to start work at a haunted house this weekend for the second year in a row now, and as a part of my costume for this year I'm hoping to use a sheep's ribcage and somehow secure it around my own chest. The bones came from my girlfriend's family's farm where the sheep died some time around June and basically rotted and was eaten up by scavengers. They are pretty clean and I plan to further clean them up by hand, but the problem is that they seem to be sort of delicate and the haunted house will require me to be running around in a maze in the dark, which is a recipe for shattered bones if I'm not careful. I've come across one interesting resource here, but I'm very much in the dark as to what a great deal of the content there means. For example, how do I know whether these bones are considered dry or wet? Is it regarding actual water content, or what? Does this even apply to non-fossilized bones? I really don't know, but I'm hoping that somebody can enlighten me. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I'll be really embarrassed if it turns out that I have no actual use for this skeleton.

I think you mean Ugg's 'Cardy boots':  That's what they look like fully stretched out but you can fold them down to ankle height, too. There are zillions of knockoffs around as well if you don't want to pay the Ugg price.

I wish it were as easy as a pair of uggs though, haha. Alderdash posted:^^ Those are very close, but the ankle had more to it so they could stay on. Those look so comfy though! Thanks anyway guys, maybe I'll see some more sprout up in the next few weeks and can ask about them.

Chinese Tony Danza posted:[Bizarro post about wearing sheep bones.] I used to work in a lab breaking down human bodies for their skeletal remains, so I can tell you everything you ever wanted to know. Regarding the dry versus wet issue, don't over-think it. It means exactly what it sounds like. If you feel like they are fragile to handle, then they are dry. If they sat out in the sun baking all summer, they are going to be more brittle than if they'd been dried in a controlled environment. But if you build your bone-suit correctly, then breaks and fractures could add to the charm.

Is there a way to stop Internet Explorer from notifying me that I'm about to view a page that contains secure and unsecure items? I'm on a work computer that can only connect to one website where we check our corporate email. It gets old having to agree to display secure and unsecure items every single time I want to check my email.

Has anyone else noticed youtube changing your settings back to show annotations again and again? I have, many times, turned off the 'show annotations' setting in my preferences yet it keeps getting turned back on after a while. Also, is there a way to always make it use the larger player? That's another setting it seems to remember for a few days then magically forget.

I have, many times, turned off the 'show annotations' setting in my preferences yet it keeps getting turned back on after a while. If you ever figure this out, I would love to know the answer too, but... (My impression, likely mistaken, is that they are working on the site so much that they themselves are breaking things. Example: they broke Flash a while back, and fixed it for the popular browsers quickly, but took a week and a half to fix it for Opera, which made it obvious that they are pretty constantly working on the code. Google is remarkably bad at openness in their dealings, and never acknowledged that they broke Flash, or that they fixed it.)
