How do they make golfballs?

they have this rubber stuff they melt down and mold into marshmallow shapes, then they form the rubber into balls, in this machine that presses them into molds using up to a ton of pressure, and then they coat those in another machine with the plastic that's pre-dimpled, and then they wash those and scrape the random sharp parts off, then they stamp them, then they run them through fluorescent light to lock in the stamps, then they coat them with polyurethane and then they package them.

;)

I have no idea how long I will remember that, or what useful knowledge I have lost by learning it. :(

it's the middle of March, around Spring Break, nothing much special, I just love that day......mostly because my friends and I cause all sorts of confusion... this year my kid gets to join, so that's cool.



Did you like it? It kind of has to be crappy, with that story, but I really liked the trailer.
I liked it, although I got completely different stuff from it than the people sitting behind me, who I introduced myself to before the movie and they came out with hubby and I to talk over coffee about the film after. I probably won't buy it, but I would watch it again.

Yeah, I really liked it. It was kind of a downer at times, but overall I really enjoyed it.

One of these days, I am going to send these schools (both of which have millions of dollars) letters suggesting that they should donate money to poor starving alumnae.
Ooh, I hate those. I got my first "send us money" letter from my high school two months after I graduated. I wanted to call and tell them that I was still living with my parents, had no money, and was about to have even less money because of undergrad loans. I do, however, donate $20 a year to my university. It means I only get those letters from them once a year.

Ooh, I hate those. I got my first "send us money" letter from my high school two months after I graduated. I wanted to call and tell them that I was still living with my parents, had no money, and was about to have even less money because of undergrad loans. I do, however, donate $20 a year to my university. It means I only get those letters from them once a year.

I've never gotten one from my high school (but then I attended a public high school). I still get 'em from my uni, but I figure after shelling out about $150K while I was there, they've already gotten enough outta me.

Oooh, now I wanna know! :)

Here's a good example: mämmi.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A4mmi

The legend tells that sometime in the interwar period, an American diplomat visited Finland, and was offered some of this at a luncheon. Politely he ate it, of course, but when he got back to America, he started a fundraiser to help the Finns, who were so poor that they were forced to eat feces.

I don't know how much of that is true, but it does taste what it looks like.

Channel 4 News a couple of nights ago. I tend to watch stuff on my trusty compy.

Blue. They’re big chunky ones, perfect for mooching about the flat.

Okay, since almost everybody seems to know what this is about, could someone explain it to me? I mean, yeah, Julius Caesar killed, and yeah, middle of March, but it has to be something else, right? Is it like a holiday of sorts in the US (and other countries, too)? Why else would everybody already know what they're doing ten days from now? *snip*

Famous among English-speakers because of Shakespeare's play, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar. In Act 1, scene ii, a soothsayer accosts Caesar and warns him to "Beware the Ides of March!" Caesar dismisses the man with, "He is a dreamer; let us leave him." Then at the start of Act 3, scene i, Caesar, on his way to the Capitol, sees the soothsayer and says, "The Ides of March are come." The man answers, "Ay, Caesar; but not gone." So the phrase, "the Ides of March" has been ingrained in English as an ominous date.

The Ides are on the 13th in all months except March, May, July and October, when they're on the 15th. The day is sacred to Jupiter and sacrifices should be made to him. The Ides were probably the day of the full moon (seems that between the end of December and the beginning of March there were originally no named months at all in very early Rome (or before Rome) because agricultural people don't really care much about the passage of time in the winter). The Ides were the usual day for paying off debts and for students to pay their teachers' monthly fee.

The Ides of March were also the festival of Anna Perenna. She was supposedly the sister of the Queen of Carthage, Dido, but the festival is probably an old new year's feast ("annus perennialis"). The festival was celebrated by wandering out to the banks of the Tiber to party and especially to drink lots and lots of wine. Girls were expected to sing ribald songs, and it was the custom to pray for as many years of life as cups of wine one could drink.

The very idea of the former sickens me. The latter simply tastes awful, especially milk and dark chocolates; on the other hand, I can stand it when it's mixed with other things, so I wouldn't exactly consider it my overall least favourite food.

Oh, and for some reason I can't stand 'meat substitutes', either. They taste like slow-cooked shoe leather.

None of which explains why I thought it was some sort of holiday because everybody seemed to know what Smunkee was on about. :p j/k
I think I get it now - it's not really a holiday or anything except in Smunkee's world, and everybody else is not really doing the things they mentioned because it's some kind of special holiday plan but because they checked in their calendars and that's what they were doing on that day anyway.

He's supposed to have said to Brutus, "You, too, child?" in Greek, to which you could answer, "Yeah, who's your daddy now?" Or something.

Stab the salad 23 times. Then make a rousing speech over it, rousing enough to inspire the rest of the people in the restaurant to cremate your salad in the marketplace.

an "et tu Brute?!" followed by gurgly raspy noises ought to do it. and maybe you could ad lib for brutus "si, et moi caeser! take that!" or something, *nods*

*does not know how to ad lib in latin*

That'd be Italian, French and English :P

There's no "yes" in Latin and, well, "me" is... "me". Maybe, then "Ita est, et me, Caesar! Morere!" Though I have no idea if morere means "die!" as I tried to say...

You do know Caesar was misquoted, yes? His friend had recently taken up ballet, so he asked, "A tutu, Brute?"
