I have noticed that there is always at least one person listed as being in the chatroom. Often this person is someone whose name is "unfamiliar" as a regular poster. For the last few days it's been Richard Hamilton.

So what is he doing in there all by himself? Is he Phil Hill in disguise? Or is he just some kind of a phony placeholder dreamed up by the mods?

This is my favorite thread title this month! I have noticed that as well. Richard is a member here at Film-Tech, but I doubt he is in the chat room the entire time that he appears to be. Glitch in the chat software? Probably not, as only Richard seems to get "stuck". My guess is that Richard has some weird-ass internet connection which makes the chat room think he is in there longer than he is.

Of course I suppose he could be in the chat room all that time. Hopefully Richard will let us know. [av=n]

Maybe he has a cable modem or DSL and went on vacation.

Leaving his computer logged on to the site..............

I've seen other names in there too, but Hamilton has been the latest one.

Nah Joe, as ALL programmers say: It's called a "feature".

I live in that room. My old woman kicked me out and that is the only place I could find!! Actually I was chatting a few days ago and also noticed that since then, I was always "chatting" even though I had turned off my laptop a few times since logging on. I am in a hotel in China using their "fast access" and I guess that even when I disconnect in my room, the hotel still keeps me logged on and looks at all of the sites that I visited online!!! Bastards!!

If theyre still lurking down there, what about getting some opinions about china fired off here and now

I like China.. but Mom kept yelling at me for eating off of it instead of the regular plates. I kept telling her that they were plates and should be used.. but she just bitched...

If no one hears from me for a couple of days, please contact the U.S. embassy in Changchun and have them check the local jails!!

P.S. I guess I got kicked out of my chat room!!

Also, China is the best and my favorite country ever!! I love China!! [Razz]

China is good.
Paper plates: bad.

The country has survived even after my being told by my mom about all the starving kids in China when I wouldn't eat liver as a kid. I never thought that the Chinese kids would eat it either.

My mom tried to get me to eat Cream Corn. I hated that stuff. She told me the same thing about starving kids in China. I thought I would be funny and I told her, "If I tried to feed this to a chinese kid, he would kung fu kick me in the nuts!"

She wasn't as amused as I was.

Wouldn't most of the food our moms cook for us be a bit spoiled by the time we sent it there? You could freeze it, obviously, but still, just wouldn't be the same.

Posted by John Lasher (Member # 968) on 07-29-2004, 03:25 PM:

When people tell me that the uneaten food on my plate could feed a starving family somewhere, I typically say, "Alright. If you can give me their address, I'll send it to them."

Posted by Ryan Luby (Member # 2520) on 07-29-2004, 03:36 PM:

Isn't it their fault for making more food than we can eat? I think it's just the parents' way of making us feel guilty for their making more food than necessary.
"Oh shit, I made 5 pounds of spaghetti again! I think I'll just pile up everyone's plates and blame them. Suckers."
