 * Hello and welcome. Bondurant 17:25, 23 July 2008 (EDT)

Hello, Crundy. I haven't seen you around before, so I thought I'd say "hi". : )  17:07, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

By the way: I didn't know that—you learn something new everyday! 17:07, 25 September 2008 (EDT)
 * mmm. Although it is purely speculative. I'd like to think that bald dipshit got fucked because of his whoring out to that fat bitch. The previous sentence may have contained more obcenities than required, but I feel it was justified Crundy 18:30, 25 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Mmm. While over-the-top and a bit of shock, I won't say I disagree with your words.  You merely expressed what many think but not say.  : )   19:53, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

WIGO
You can add WIGOs as much as you want. 05:34, 3 December 2008 (EST)
 * w00t. Thx Crundy 05:35, 3 December 2008 (EST)
 * Just try to make them especially amusing or significant. If you go listing every stupid thing on CP, you'd need to be on your computer 25 hours a day. --Gulik 13:25, 3 December 2008 (EST)
 * True dat. I thought the one I added was a good example of Andy being a hypocrite, and then killing anyone who pointed out that he was out of line. Crundy 13:32, 3 December 2008 (EST)
 * Also just check that it isn't following on from something already mentioned. Of course, if it was days ago (or outside the EZ edit section, which is all people can be arsed to read) and someone's resurrecting it add a new entry by all means, otherwise add it as an update.

Totnefmartin 11:06, 20 April 2009 (EDT)
 * (Gulp) Well thank you very much for the honour, but I fear I will have to swot up in all things sysop'd in order to perform the role sufficiently. I'll also try and log on a bit more than I limp in with at the moment! Crundy 11:20, 20 April 2009 (EDT)
 * I've been a sysop for ages and I still don't perform sufficiently. perhaps I should try viagra. Round here, sysopping just means we trust you - we don't demand you do more here than before - some sysops (eg Cracker) have had long absences. Totnesmartin 11:32, 20 April 2009 (EDT)

Solomon Grundy

 * No, but that picture does look like me after a night out on the piss. Crundy 13:22, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Haha
"VERONICA CORNINGSTONE AND I HAD SEX AND NOW WE ARE IN LOVE!" 12:17, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Great website
You should check this out! It's funny, has softcore porn, comics, commentary, and the answers to a lot of your questions. We should front-page it here at RW! 04:46, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh thanks, I'll just have a quick read and AAARRGHH, OH MY FUCKING GOD WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS GUY??? 07:13, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * You're welcome :) 07:21, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Probably intentional, but...
...is the spelling of "atheists" on your userpage supposed to be incorrect in order to demonstrate a point to Christians? 17:34, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * No, that was definitely me being a dumbass. I'm guessing the problem may have been alcohol related. 09:21, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, right. Have a good day, fellow limey. 11:08, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

'cratship
There you go. 18:33, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh noes! You've been foiled by Phantom Hoover.  Oh well, see you on Live tonight.  18:35, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * (Snivel) I thought I was in there. I want to have extra permissions which I'll probably never use for no apparent reason whatsoever. It's bullying. That's what. You want my fucking lunch money too? 21:22, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, you're really not missing much. About the only thing that I do is make people sysops with little to no regard for how short a time they've been here.  I still believe that, for a vandal, user rights is all about the means and not the ends.  So, I think that my comparison of CP (chess) and RW's (musical chairs with an extra chair) user rights policies is apt.  11:31, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Farting during sex
I forgot to add that, cheers. 15:15, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's no joke let me tell you. 19:37, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I haven't been caught yet! I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday about it (and mentioned that I wrote an article on farts, haha!) and he said he does, but he and his girl are close so it doesn't matter to them really. 11:18, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's only a massive turnoff if said fart brings some of its friends along, in liquid form 21:53, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * During intercourse it can be laughed off, with skill. During oral sex it can be more of an "issue"... 3 liters a day, folks, 3 liters a day.  03:30, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Crundy, poopbefore sex, BEFORE! 12:19, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, unless you're making some German pr0n, in which case pooping beforehand is a sackable offence. 15:23, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Beer
Hey Crundy. I was wondering how long the brewing process takes in order the get the 5 gallons you've just bottled? I've wanted to brew my own for sometime now but have just never got around to researching it. Rad McCool 07:30, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Depends on what kind of kit you get. If you get an ale kit or a bog standard lager kit then primary fermentation takes about a week. Then:
 * 1) If you're making ale, you can just syphon it off into a primed pressure barrel, leave for a couple of weeks, then drink, or
 * 2) If you're making a lager then it's best to rack off into a secondary fermentation vessel and leave for a couple of weeks, then prime and bottle, and leave for a couple more weeks.
 * The lager I was making uses a proper lager yeast (the bog standard lager kits use ale yeasts) which means primary fermentation takes a while longer, and you have to condition it in the bottle for at least 2 months.


 * It's definitely worth a crack, because you can make the booze for as little as 30p a pint after your initial setup costs. Just make sure you sterilise everything before you use it. Let me know if you want a quick equipment / starter guide. 08:18, 5 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Why not set up a meth-lab? Ace McWickedThe Liquid Room 08:13, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * What's this "Shake and bake" meth I keep hearing about? 08:19, 5 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks Crundy. I am going to do a little research next weekend into what size and specs I can handle but once I know I could use your advice. Rad McCool 09:45, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * OK. The things you need are:
 * 5/6 gal Fermenting bucket (about £12)
 * Syphon (a couple of quid)
 * Sterilising powder (£1.50ish for a small vial)
 * Hydrometer (optional, but useful. About £2)
 * Airlock (if your FV needs it. About a quid)
 * Pressure barrel (upwards of £28) and a gas bottle (£20, refillable) or 45 bottles (free / about £8 / 15) and a crown capper (£10)
 * That's it really. The kits cost between £8 and £20, the cheaper ones need a kilo of sugar / dextrose / spray malt (between £1 and £4). It's a fun hobby, as well as the obvious benefit of ending up with booze at the end of it. What type of beer are you looking to make? 10:00, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Shake'n'bake meth is made the quick way - though less pure and more explosive. Can be made in about hour. Usually (around these parts) people drive around town with it brewing in the boot. Ace McWickedThe Liquid Room 18:49, 5 October 2009 (UTC)


 * ALways been an Ale or Lager man myself. Don't drink a lot of beer at the moment but that should change if I start brewing my own. Although "shake and bake" meth is also sounding appealing now. Rad McCool 22:06, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Shake'n'bake
You were wondering about shake'n'bake? NZ has a massive meth problem, even the CIA world factbook makes note of NZ's high 'phetimine use. Though I myself have never been a significant consumer I have had a few friends go over the edge. AceMcWicked 20:46, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Heh, I really wasn't that curious :) but thanks for the link anyway! 07:38, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Post
While I was galavanting about the country side the mailman left a note in my letterbox advising that I have something to pick up from the mail centre. Your beer hath arrived. Picking up tomorrow. AceMcWicked 23:51, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Get the fuck in! Glad it wasn't snaffled by customs. Make sure u leave it upright for a month in a cool place, and pour carefully to leave the sedimemt behind. 11:27, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Beer
Waiting patiently in my kitchen....Why does it have a Bombadier label? AceMcWicked
 * I told you that! I thought I'd ran out of nice homebrew bottles so I quickly sterilised a leftover Bombadier bottle and filled that. It is drinkable now, but just tastes like gnats piss and doesn't have good head retention. Remember: keep it upright in a cool place for a few weeks and then refrigerate until the chill haze clears (another few weeks). 20:52, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Sarcasm Detector
Here mate, borrow my sarcasm detector and try it again here. ;-) 14:44, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Nope, nothing. Poe's law I guess. 15:17, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Chickens
May I ask which kinds you have, and how long you have had them for? 22:55, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * We bought an Eglu, and looked around at some hybrid breeds of chickens (we weren't really interested in purebreeds) and in the end we realised that the ones Omlet sold were actually very good breeds. We therefore have a Miss Pepperpot (cross between a Rhode Island Red and a Maran) and a Gingernut Ranger (cross between a Rhode Island Red and a Light Sussex). They're OK really, but exceptionally destructive. They scratch a bit too much for my liking. 08:53, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Man up!
"Everyone hates me." You're alright. 19:44, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 * What? I was upset, and lonely. 21:44, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Welcome to my world. Not so much upset, but very lonely. 02:08, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll like you, if you still have some bubble wrap left. -- 00:12, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * You want me to pop some on webcam for you? 08:39, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Nah, I prefer to pretend that you're a hot chick. Webcams spoil that kind of thing. I'll grab some bubble wrap tomorrow. -- 00:22, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * My shipping department is where bubble wrap comes to die. Or be re-used.  Aw, I love you both, Crundy, for your crundiness, and Josh, for your superness.  03:59, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * @CR: Fair do's, I'll stream some pr0n to you while popping some bubblewrap. @Human: Speaking of shipping and bubblewrap, I'll try and remember to post you a couple of consignments of my naga chutney, but remember to post one to nutty. As I'm sending anyway, would you like some fresh dorset nagas and / or some dorset naga seedlings in the package as well? 21:50, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Oops, sorry I missed that - yes, I'll be sure to forward Nutty's as soon as it arrives, and if it's not already on the way some of those dorset things would be cool too. Did I ever give you my address?  Oh yes, I think I remember doing that...  00:43, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Beer
Is the beer reaqdy to drink yet do you think? Was thinking of opening it soon - after chilling it a little. AceMcWicked 22:19, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I've been drinking them, but because of the excess fizzyness you'll have to follow this process:


 * Chill in the fridge for 2 weeks or until the chill haze disappears and it goes clear again
 * Using a bottle opener, very gently ease the edge of the cap up to release excess pressure
 * Do this 3 or 4 times over the space of a hour, chill again for at least an hour
 * Open quite quickly next to the sink with your pint glass at the ready
 * The head will start foaming as soon as you open, so quickly but carefully pour into your glass, and leave the sediment behind at the bottom
 * Let it settle for a few minutes before drinking!
 * Apologies for sending you one of the massively overprimed ones! Let me know how you get on. 08:47, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Random pus teat
17:45, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I was just about to eat before watching the video you emailed me. I hate you. 18:01, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I can't find the link. Would you email it back to me please? 02:39, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Why email it when we can share your horridness with the world? 08:55, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Homebrew + 6th sense
Hey Crundy. Do you remember last night at all? If not, I assure you that you were having one hell of a time. 20:51, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd ask you if I could sample some of the homebrew, it sounds off the chain, but I would be genuinely afraid you'd drop some illicit substance in it. 00:18, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh I remember, class night in alone. Suffered for it the next day though :( @Josh: I have no illicit substances anymore, who needs drugs when you have cheap booze? 08:54, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

1,000,000th edit
In honor of the millionth edit, I present you with this:

There you go. 13:33, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Get the fuck in!! I shall print and frame it immediately! 13:37, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
 * You lucky fucker! I always thought the millionth would go to Human for some reason. 14:07, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I wonder if the edit fucked up because it tipped over 1,000,000, or if it was just a coincidence? 14:14, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
 * With you, it was definitely a coincidence. 14:30, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, thanks. 14:37, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Overprimed
Oh wow, how much priming sugar did you add to that one nutty? 09:02, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Bored tonight?
Vous-avez un email. 15:22, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Haw haw, oui, oui. OK, I'll try and have a listen in between trying to get my media center extender working. Is it just you or you and a co-star? 15:30, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * A friend called Oli co-hosts with me. 15:46, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Sent you a reply email. 15:47, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * And you have a reply to that :) 15:53, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm, haven't got it. Not in my spambox either. Try resending through the RW email system. 16:10, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * You should have it by now. If not, it wasn't overly important. I don't need the songs, I should be able to stream through YouTube. 16:24, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Lol, you use youtube for the songs? What if an advert pops up? 16:25, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * If we don't have the songs on CD/iTunes/iPod/Computer system, then yes. If an advert pops up, I cry laughing. You should've heard it last week, I fucked up for the whole hour constantly it was hilarious. I kept re-starting the songs over and over again. 16:35, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, the offer still stands if you need anything. I can dump them on an FTP server for you pick up. Just drop me some track names you'd like. 16:38, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Cheers mate, I should be OK though. I'm off to the booth! 16:41, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh oh! Keep your talk page open so we can drop you messages. 16:43, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Economics homework grading
The example I referred to is here. It's a particularly horrible bit of grade inflation for two reasons. First, he takes a very lax attitude towards an economics student not understanding when or how to use compound interest calculations - at a minimum he should be encouraging the student to re-read the lecture and do some practice problems, and to contact him if the student still is unsure of the concept. Second, he gives out three "minus 1" penalties for wrong answers, but apparently leaves one off when he gives the final grade of "48 out of 50". --SpinyNorman (talk) 15:43, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Added, thanks. One has to wonder what the lowest score possible on that test would be. If you only lose one mark for answering a question completely wrong then if you simply write your name on the top and answer none of the questions you'd achieve a score of 90%. I wish grading was like that when I did my GCSEs! 15:59, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

many happy returns
happy birthday my man. sorry to hear about your cat, that sucks. don't forget there's always hats to keep you going.

and if that doesn't help, I'll sing a little song that kept me going when I had troubles...

Yeah, you're gonna be fine. Happy birthday mate. 00:54, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Cheers to you, Crundy. Have a better birthday than you (apparently) have been having.  Have a round of (virtual) scotch on me.  00:58, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Happy birthday Crundy. I myself am having my birthday in a little less than 36 hiours so I share your joy. Aceof Spades 01:06, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Happy birfday, for what it's worth. I lost a neighbor that I was very close to on my birthday one year, and just this past month my dad lost his mother (my grandmother, obviously) 2 days prior to his birthday.  The obituary appeared in the newspaper on the day of his birthday.   03:29, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * We seem to have a clusterfuck of early Dec birfdaze on here. Happy wotzit Crundy!  03:58, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks guys. I think I'm going to pop to Tesco and buy myself AC2 for the XBox so at least I have something good on my birthday. 09:22, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Assassins Creed 2
I haven't played it (I have yet to obtain an Xbox) but a friend of a friend on my course has come down with quite a serious case of Assassin's Creed 2 and he hasn't attended any lectures for about a week. 17:56, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes this sounds like a typical case of AC2osis. It is a fucking cool game. Takes a while to get interesting though. Just today I got pissed off with all the buskers in the street mobbing me and blocking my path, so I stabbed one to death in the neck with one of my hidden blades. I did get told off for killing a civillian though. 21:39, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * You can kill people in it? That sounds awesome. 21:41, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I too was quite surprised that a game with "assassin" in the title involved killing people. Hey ho. I'm off to play the racing game "super chess wizard" now. 21:44, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I suppose in Assassin's Creed 3 they could focus more on the creed itself. Imagine a game in which players get to sit in a dimly lit room discussing the creed, with perhaps one player taking on the role of the scribe. Newbies could fetch the paper and periodically bring in tea and biscuits to aid the creative process. I'd buy that game, but then I've spent far too many years designing water systems in SimCity. I saw that Assassin's Creed has made it on to the iPhone. Might have to give that a pop. -- 21:49, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * My all-time favourite computer games would be either a) Grand Theft Auto (specifically San Andreas), and b) The Jak and Daxter series, as a was an adorable little ragamuffin when the game was released. Now I've sprouted into a monstrous hairy cunt. 21:56, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * The new Sam and Max games are fucking awesome (if you like point-and-click that is). 22:06, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * StarCraft II is coming soon, so all other games except WoW and Angband, will become obsolete. -- 22:10, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I know I haven't actually played it and so I can't really judge, but I really really don't get WoW at all. Also, I'm not a heavy gamer (unless we're talking weight) and so having to pay monthly as well as for the initial licence seems fucking odd to me. 22:18, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's a bit much unless you're planning on getting some decent hours in. The only part that really annoys me is having to pay for the expansion packs. -- 22:24, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Xmas, now your beer will be mine!

 * Cool. Beware the excess fizz! 21:43, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Drinking it now and feeling pretty pleased with myself..Aceof Spades 03:00, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Nice. Has the slightly harsh taste gone now? I drank all of that batch before it was ready. 12:22, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

PDF
Have a look at: http://pdfedit.petricek.net/en/index.html. ("You can use it to read, change and extract information from a PDF file") Not downloaded it myself so can't say. 23:40, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, i'll try it out when i get back home. 08:46, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

The subject says it all. I have Adobe Acrobat on Windows. Macai (talk) 00:03, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
