Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board The All "Let's Pester Outdoor Miner with Inane Questions" thread!

The mining of threads like this one for cheap laughs, for one.

I don't like to keep pestering you, but must know: Why was 40 chosen for the Top 40? Why not 30 or 50?

There's no reason it can't be both. The 'Tron is just that cool, be it used for good or evil.

This is actually the first thing I've heard that might get me to buy one of these things.

Either chlorine gas or Sarin should handle things nicely.

Any number of questions greater than 0 is overloading in this case.

Mr. Miner, would it be presumptuous of me to congratulate you on FINALLY almost catching up with your duties to the inane questionaires of Legion World?

Not any more.

They took all the good stuff off the shelves years ago.

I miss Romilar.

Miner,

Can I shoot the protesters? Because of them Starbucks was closed and I didn't have my Saturday Morning Pike Place Blend.

No.

One has to work long and hard to avoid anything that would give you experience.


True story: When Mojo magazine used one of my music recommendations for a column, they made the exact same spelling mistake. And you would think they would have gotten the reference. So I can give Matt a break on this one.

Miner,

Do "McCafe" coffees[sic] and similar abominations finally disprove, once and for all, the existence of God?

Who are you trying to kid? You love it.


Probably because 30 and 50 don't equal 40.

(OK. Serious answer: No one is positive, but it probably is taken from the days of the jukebox, which in the '50s generally held about 40 records and the owners of said boxes would fill them with the most popular records in the area. Top 40 radio slots originally meant a broadcast of the records released that week, but eventually adopted a popularity format, which has itself changed over time.)

You say "duties", I say "labors that should grant me time off in Purgatory".

I would, in most cases, pretend to feel sorry for you for being denied access to precious coffee.

But you go to Starbucks, so, ha.

And no, you may not shoot the protesters. Espceially not with a camera, which is what they want.

No.

Three of the four original Ramones are dead. All of the Jimi Hendrix Experience are gone. Half of the Beatles. Miles. Coltrane. Monk. Sandy Denny. Nick Drake. All gone.

Kenny G still walks the Earth.

All the evidence an atheist needs.

Miner,

What's the best non-edible drink garnish?

A) Toy monkeys
B) Paper parasols
C) Toy mermaids

Outdoor Miner, I'm confused! -

"For the big pie auction, Mary baked some of her favorite pies: apple, cherry, blueberry and coconut cream."

Does Mary bake blueberry pies AND coconut cream pies, or is she a loose cannon who bakes her blueberry pies WITH coconut cream!?

The only good non-edible part of a drink is the glass or bottle that holds the drink itself. All others are useless.

She's probably a communist. I bet she uses Splenda instead of proper American sugar too.

That said, if it's an auction, the auctioneer will probably tell you if the pie is plain blueberry like God intended or some weird miscegenation of blueberry/coconut.

OM, What song is stuck in my head?

"Midnight at the Oasis" by Maria Muldaur.

Don't worry if it doesn't sound like it; it's a remix.

Miner.

How much rent do you want for that space?

OM, Is it the heat or the humidity?

OM, I think there should be a Project Superpowers / Black Terror thread in Dr. Gym'lls, but there are already too many threads started by me. Don't you think you should start this thread so LW lurkers can get a thrill reading an Outdoor Miner-created thread?

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

It's the sun.

The sun is the problem and it needs to be stopped before it destroys us all.
