Exactly how big is a "while?"

sems740: Exactly how big is a "while?"

It's a Chrysler that seats about twenty, and it's about to set siil.

MaudlinMutantMollusk		2012-04-12 01:13:54 PM

Along with a pot full of petunias

Just slightly more than 12 parsecs.

Shakespeare's Monkey		2012-04-12 02:00:06 PM

I'm glad it's a while. If it was a whale, they might try and blow it up.

/_{and that trick never works}

scottydoesntknow		2012-04-12 02:00:22 PM

So what was it? The answer comes from professional meteorologists. According to the National Weather Service, there was a meteor shower that morning

Ummm how much damage would a meteor the size of ~~while~~ whale actually do on impact? And don't they usually travel extremely fast?

Wait, why are you saying it like that? Why are you putting so much emphasis on the 'h'?

Was it a long while or a little while?

I'll wait.

Ahhh! Woooh! What's happening? Who am I? Why am I here? What's my purpose in life? What do I mean by who am I? Okay okay, calm down calm down get a grip now. Ooh, this is an interesting sensation. What is it? Its a sort of tingling in my... well I suppose I better start finding names for things. Lets call it a... tail! Yeah! Tail! And hey, what's this roaring sound, whooshing past what I'm suddenly gonna call my head? Wind! Is that a good name? It'll do. Yeah, this is really exciting. I'm dizzy with anticipation! Or is it the wind? There's an awful lot of that now isn't it? And what's this thing coming toward me very fast? So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like 'Ow', 'Ownge', 'Round', 'Ground'! That's it! Ground! Ha! I wonder if it'll be friends with me? Hello Ground!

Normally, we would correct the headline, but sometimes the typos are worth keeping.

You're not alone subby, I've written headlines and pushed the shiny, jolly, candy-like button before I should have too.

Ladies and Gentlemen.....Staind!

And it's been a while
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been a while since I first saw you
And it's been a while since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been a while since I could call you

And everything I can't remember
As f*cked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means

It's been awhile
Since I can say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been a while since I can say I love myself as well and
And it's been a while since I've gone and farked things up just like I always do
And it's been a while but all that sh*t seems to disappear when I'm with you

Di Atribe		2012-04-12 02:41:02 PM

Maybe it will be friends with me

You'll be waiting quite a while for a little while.

When are we going to grow out of this alien shiat? I want to believe too. It'd be cool. Even if they invaded. At least it would be something different. But it's not happening.

If you've personalized Malwarebytes, it's probably because the article quotes a newspaper called the Republican-American.

So what was it? The answer comes from professional meteorologists. According to the National Weather Service, it was a street light

The word professional is thrown around a lot these days.

Huh?? That's not an "answer", that's a "possibility", a strong possibility, but still a possibility, unless they tracked a particularly large meteorite and saw it in go down in roughly that area. God, what lazy "journalism"... Yes, it was most likely a meteorite, but you are supposed to imply that in some way.
