Movie ''hand clapping'' meme - Cafe Society - Straight Dope
2006年4月17日 · This has come up a number of times, but I’ll be danged if I can find any threads on it. Anyway, you know the routine, something happens, and one person starts clapping. Then another. Then more. Then everyone. IIRC, the *earliest this attested was in “Brubaker” (1980). In the 1974 Roy Campanella biopic “It’s Good to Be Alive,” there is …
Was I The A$$hole? - The BBQ Pit - Straight Dope Message Board
2024年10月2日 · This is about a thread on Facebook. I thought that I was both on the moral side and doing quite well in the argument. Then, the thread was not there anymore. I’m assuming that somebody deleted it. So, this is from memory. A friend posted a meme joke. The punchline was “Nothing happened. What a gyp!”. A few people left laughing emojis on the post. I responded with "I find this offensive ...
Any experiences with Mahjong for Seniors? Does it keep your …
2024年12月17日 · Depending on the variation there may be more restrictions on what it takes for a qualifying winning hand or other ways to get points. As I said, I play riichi mahjong, which uses fewer tiles than the Chinese game and is somewhat different in what is allowed to win, plus stricter rules on discards and the existence of bonus tiles.
Forced choice ideas for card trick - In My Humble Opinion
2024年12月14日 · I’ve been working on my own version of a card trick I’ve seen and am looking for ideas on the forced choice portion. I have four piles of cards and four participants. I need participant #1 to end up with pile #1. Doesn’t matter who ends up with the others. My current method is to ask participant #1 to “point” at a pile of their choice. If …
The Annual 'A Christmas Carol' Thread (2024) - Straight Dope
2024年12月11日 · I’ve often said that the 1984 version of A Christmas Carol, starring George C. Scott as ‘Scrooge’ and Edward Woodward as ‘The Ghost of Christmas Present’, is my favourite. I’ve given my reasons in the past, so I’ll not post them in the OP unless asked. Instead, I wanted to post about another version. Last night I watched …

Venting about packaging — can be difficult to open!
2024年11月9日 · I need to vent a little about Ziplock-like shipping bags. This is not pit worthy. Can I vent a little? The top of Ziplock-like shipping bags (e.g., from Amazon), right where you’re supposed to open them, they are so precisely cut that the two surfaces, the front and back of the bag, when you try to open the bag, they can be extremely difficult to separate. This can be so aggravating!! Maybe ...
Subbing fresh mushrooms for canned ones - Straight Dope
2024年11月28日 · In a few days I will be making my mom’s old tetrazzini recipe to use up some Thanksgiving leftovers. Like many recipes from that era, it calls for canned mushrooms. While I have nothing against the canned variety, I happen to have to have some fresh mushrooms on hand that need to be used up, so I’d rather use those instead. Since the recipe was written for canned mushrooms, should I cook ...
Cormac McCarthy had a 17-year old muse - Straight Dope
2024年11月22日 · Continuing the discussion from Cormac McCarthy has died (13 June 2023): Vanity Fair reported yesterday that McCarthy had a relationship with a 17 year old that started in 1977 when he was 43. She evidently was his “muse” and inspiration for several of his characters. I’m not quite sure how I feel about it. It clearly fits today’s definition of grooming, and I …
Right-handed but can only snap the fingers of the left hand
2010年5月14日 · That said, I agree on the snapping thing. The middle finger more easily hits the flesh of the hand to make the noise. The ring finger requires crumpling up the hand too much, the pinkie is too far away, and the pointer finger too easily rubs against the thumb on the way down, robbing it of its momentum.
