What topic do you know more than anyone else on ISH

[Coach A]

What topic are you confident you have the most knowledge on in ISH? So when the time comes, you are the one to talk to about this topic.

[InspiredLebowski]

The Pacers. It's only between me and catz. And catz never knows what he's talking about.

[D.J.]

WWE and 90's NBA.

[BankShot]

The inner workings of Minnesota Timberwolves basketball, and if Rufus isn't around, anything related to the preparation and cooking of good eats.

[pete's montreux]

Led Zeppelin.

[AtomSmasher]

ufology

[CasterL]

pwning newbz

[BankShot]

Maybe Stax Records..... definitely Otis Redding

[Doomsday Dallas]

9/11


I know all the details.

[Jello]

Nothing.:oldlol: I just realized that most of my knowledge on an array of subjects is really shallow.

[Doomsday Dallas]

ufology

Bull $hit...

If you don't know about project Blue Beam... then you don't know $hit.

[BrentISballin]

cars

[BankShot]

ufology

Xenology???

Or is your study focused primarily on their vehicles??

[Anton Chigurh]

biochemistry and thermodynamics

i know huh. i pull chicks left and right.

Join the club. Other than my aforementioned beloved Pacers, I don't really know dick. Sure there's a bevy of topics I could own a 7th grader in in an Oxford debate, but I don't know anything deeper than the periphery. Hell, I don't even know what an Oxford debate is other than it being the general credentialed debate format.

[NumeroOcho]

myself, hands down

[pete's montreux]

Maybe Stax Records..... definitely Otis Redding

Good song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3H8Z39prac)

[~primetime~]

-cg graphics
-Photoshop
-alcoholism
-Dallas Cowboys
-Deion Sanders (lol)
-Mercedes Benz (I could be wrong here)
-something I am forgetting


^^^ I am pretty confident I know more about those subjects than any other posters here...cept maybe the Benz, there might be some car buffs here that would school me...

and maybe posters like Dooms and kentatm may be equal in Cowboy's knowledge also...

[pete's montreux]

Why Mercedes?

I'd also say I'm fairly knowledgeable on cars, specifically Ferrari.

[AtomSmasher]

Bull $hit...

just because I have driven them for many years now...I am freinds with the people at the factory here even...I have always kept up with the latest models and stuff...

however I am not a grease monkey type, so you may be able to school me on the engine details...

i like the benz a lot

[vapid]

Video games, comics, economic history of England. :oldlol:

[~primetime~]

What's your favorite Mercedes of all time?
I would collect them if I was rich...I always watch those car auctions when i get the chance...

I suppose I would start with the Gullwing...

http://www.themotorreport.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/gullwing-300sl.jpg

not sure if it is my fav of all time, I don't think I have a fav of all time...but it is up there...

[endorphins]

I think the real question is: What topic don't I know more than anyone else on ISH?

i mean really. sh*t Ish, get it together

[~primetime~]

Video games, comics, economic history of England. :oldlol:
oh f*ck...

I forgot video games...lol

you think you could school me in video game knowledge vapid?

you may be able to actually...at least the actual game play part...

I would give you good comitition in the history of games department though...

[macmac]

Growing weed

Raptors ball, though I'm sure some people will contest that
Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time
Live underground poker/omaha cash games
Montreal tourism
Foot fetish videos (used to be part owner of an online fetish pay-site)
Tradeshow Registration and logistics
Old School RPGs

off the top of the dome

[NumeroOcho]

no one can say they know more about video games. sonic r is the video game freak here, he is a genius in that shit

[macmac]

:oldlol: How much do you make?

You'd be surprised how good the money was. You wanna make some quick bucks? Get a confident hot girl and make her a financial domination website. Make sure to get her to sign a contract saying you own the rights to her online persona. Now check other similar websites and copy them, a couple of videos, soundbites, sell her used clothing, demand tribute, etc. You'd be surprised how many men will literally give their money away.

I like niche markets, the porn industry is too big and generic.

[v-unit]

I used to be big on bodybuilding but it's been unbelievably hard to continue that passion in university. I guess I'm up there in LOST, nothing else really seems to be sticking out besides that. Maybe Astrology, but that's only because no one else talks about it so me taking a course in it and being interested is more than enough to convince me that I know it best :oldlol:

[AtomSmasher]

other areas of expertise:

fantasy football, mma, game theory, cycling, climbing, marijuana, survivalism, lo fi and psychedelic music, film noir, serial killers, etc.

I don't have a favorite...if I could drive any of them I guess it would be the SLR...(other than crazy prototype stuff)

and to be clear, I do favor Italian Exotics over anything...

[MeloMike]

The Offspring and NHL. I wont say I know more than anyone else but I will say I dont think theres people that know more than me.

I mean, you didnt' know the extremely common description of a game was in "arcadey". Obviosuly programming the stuff you'd trump me.

And if we're going really specific I'd say stuff like taiwanese music/politics.

you labeled MW2 an "arcade shooter"...never heard that before unless it was in reference to a shooter found in the arcade...

not saying that slang isn't used...just saying I haven't heard it used when speaking of first person shooters

that really isn't what I had in mind of "video game knowlege" anyway really...

to be honest, there are alot of top selling games I don't know sh*t about, like the Final Fantasy series...I know nothing of it, any of them

"video games" may be too broad of a topic really...I am sure both of us could find many things the other doesn't know...

MMA

Specific sports teams (Redskins, Terps, Cornhuskers)
Perhaps various card games
I could only take wild guesses at other things

[~primetime~]

something like that, but sh*t like deus ex wouldn't be described as arcade, but its not realistic at all, its more levels of complexity, and yes arcade shooters can be great it isn't a negative term
what I think of with that term:

http://kingsentertainment.com.au/files/u1/time-crisis-4-deluxe.jpg


anything on a console of PC that doesn't have an actual gun you plug in would be a first person shooter to me...

NOW, if someone said that "MW2 has a more arcadey feel to it than Deux Ex does" then that would make complete sense to me...

[Wreck Shop]

probably 50's and 60's (some early 70's) music (I should clarify I'm talking doo wop, soul, and early rock n roll) and that's based mostly on there not seeming to be any older guys on here. I listen to some of those rockabilly shows and b-side shows on sirius/xm and realize how little I know compared to some guys but compared to you all, I think I'm probably the guy (yes, that includes my favorite artist of all time, any medium, Otis Redding... I'm talkin to YOU bankshot). I'm up there for 90's hip hop too.

probably film making and how the film industry works

definitely CBS's fantasy basketball format

There's only about 3 songs I can think of that Otis didn't do better than everyone else who tried it. Hard To Handle is one. (i think i prefer Sam Cooke's "Cupid" and there's one or two other odd balls...)

Anyways I'm Lamar Doom. There's seldom a music thread where I don't cite Otis. First I've heard you speak of him. Not trying to get into a pissing contest here, honestly makes me like you a whole lot better to know you love Otis. cheers!! what's your favorite track of his? I go back and forth between Fa-fa-fa-fa, that's what my heart needs, and a few others.

[~primetime~]

The game can still be a FPS even with a gun peripheral. Does it take place in the "first-person perspective"? Do you shoot things? Then it's a FPS. Simple as that.
hmm...technically you are correct...never thought about that

those types of games don't get talked about much because well, they suck and arcades are going extinct, but yeah, I guess that would still be the first person point of view...

[~primetime~]

but you call those light gun shooters
http://cdn.cbsi.com.au/story_media/339289476/Time-Crisis-4_1.jpg

I would call that an "arcade shooter" I guess...

actually I would probably just call it "crap"...lol

My favorite Otis songs go in and out with my mood and which albums I'm listening to....

An all time favorite that never goes out of style absolutely is the "Happy Song"... "Champagne and Wine" has been up there for a while, and I've been listening to 'Dictionary of Soul' alot recently so "She Put the Hurt on Me," "Lord have Mercy" are up there

[ukplayer4]

ooh dictionary of soul is a gem (a complete and unbelievable gem! see what i did?). nobody touches Otis' version of tennesee waltz. Ton of Joy is a good one off that album too.

I greatly prefer sad song (fafafa) to happy song (dum dum) but that is a dandy for sure.

I've always wanted to take a stab at becoming a director. What are the average Joe's (somebody who's not a millionaire and doesn't have any contacts in the movie industry) chances of becoming a movie director?


two choices.

easy- be a director. make an independent movie. get a decent camera, decent script, and some editing software. extremely unlikely anyone will ever see your movie and even more unlikely that you'll get paid but you're a director.

harder- join the DGA (http://www.dga.org/index2.php3?chg=), you can apply to the DGA training program (http://www.dgatrainingprogram.org/) (if accepted they put you on different movies and tv shows where you learn production for 400 days) or do 600 days of PA work (on set production assistant- i can actually help you get this job if you're in LA) + 75 commercial or 75 "3rd area" (not NY or LA) days and submit your "book" (production reports and call sheets for each day) to the DGA. you'll likely have to spend some years working as an AD (assistant director) first but it's insanely well paid once you're in the union. You cannot direct most "big" (anything you see in theaters really) movies w/o being in the DGA. That was a hasty breakdown, if you're super serious about it and want more detail you can PM me.

[ukplayer4]

I have a grip. He claimed to know the most about the film industry, and you seemed to immediately assume that to know more than you he must work in said industry. I'm just looking at the footprints in the sand. For instance, the Oscar thread. Instead of being like "dude, I already posted an Oscar thread", you were instead like "dude, I already posted an Oscar thread with my picks" like anyone cares. And I have seen multiple threads where you're asking "why haven't you guys seen this yet?"(Bright Star and a couple others), seemingly because if you like it, it's deemed that everyone else must as well or risk being labeled an idiot.

Get over yourself.


i seemed to assume???? this is an awful lot of assumption based off my assumption wouldnt you say? when someone says they know alot about the film industry and film making(not film) wouldnt that suggest that they work or have worked in the film industry? so i was very interested to know- not because i wanted to dispute his claim but simply out of interest, is that ok for you?








I have seen multiple threads where you're asking "why haven't you guys seen this yet?"(Bright Star and a couple others), seemingly because if you like it, it's deemed that everyone else must as well or risk being labeled an idiot.



ok, when i ask people why they havent seen a certain film yet this is directed at the keen film people on this board(of which there are many) this is also partially in jest. secondly it is actually the opposite of again - what you are assuming is my intention- i am actually trying to draw attention to very good current films and give people a heads up on some films that only get small releases- note how i usually do it at the time of the u.s release.

it isnt going well, we have six weeks and it is still in, well lets say its conceptual phase, but seeing as how the film itself is limited to 30 seconds concept is everything. the people who i choose to work with are pretty good with the technical stuff but not so imaginative, this is mostly a blessing as i obviously want creative control.

I can hold my own discussing MMA. I've followed MMA (Vale Tudo, Pancrase, etc.) for about 15 years, and I've trained for the past 6 years. I've trained with some of the top guys in the sport, and met most of the relevant fighters in the game today. I don't think I'm a badass (because I've trained with real badasses), but my opinion on the subject probably carries more weight than most.

I'm also fairly versed in Economics. I have a B.A. in Economics and a Masters in International Trade Policy.

edit- I should probably add Real Estate... since it is my proffession.

[ukplayer4]

Case-in-point.

And yes, I saw it. Yes, I thought it was a wonderful film. Maybe a bit overrated. Thank you for the recommendation.

No, I have not seen The White Ribbon yet. I'm waiting until I can see it properly and give it the attention every good film deserves.

You've shown great strides in appreciating globalization and other people's culture, and if some xenophobic All America-azz chauvinstic white male steps up and claims power with a superiority complex, you'd shudder in pain. The sight of hardworking, but underprivileged Asians/Latinos receiving sh!t from people in control hurts you, and for good reason. Furthermore, you take great pride in your appreciation of film noir and other obscure pieces of art, and if they were to all of a sudden be appreciated by every average azz American, it'd leave you in shock. Moreover, the idea of millions of millions consuming sh!t from the FDA, deforestrating, littering the f*ck outta the cities, and leaving Earth to be some mechanical hellhole postpones you from sleeping at night. Things like self-survival, beautiful nature Existentialism, and understanding others' perspectives are staples in your life and Staples just brought newer, artifical staples in the world's stapler.

Your insatiable appetite for knowledge, truth, education and belittling ignorant Americans speaks a tale of conquering many fears. I don't sense much fear in your heart. However, there are a few things that'll leave you vulnerable as a shell-less, broken-jawed Snapping Turtle. If somehow a scientist was to find out that the habits you partake in; recycling, importing cheeses from Europe, purchasing grass-fed meat were ABSOLUTELY futile, then you'd most certainly cringe. You do have a daughter that if Ursula forbid is beloved by a slimy, fearless Man, your devotion to having humans choose their own fate would leave you in quite a dilemma. You want your daughter happy, but you believe no man is good for him. Alas, you (King Triton) have no choice but to give up all your power to save little Ariel. In your childhood, I sense a bit of dejection from the prototypical hot, blonde female, which led you to have an appreciation with the more open-minded brunette types. Perhaps had a Paris Hilton stepped in and captured your heart earlier, you'd turn out to be a completely different individual. You also fear the artistic endeavors of Allman and Coltrane to be forgotton as time elapses, and newer things come about. And of course, if there ends up being a Heaven or Hell, that'd lead to quite a gross conclusion :oldlol:

Yes the objects required above said traits. But honestly, Hawker, can you say that if any of your friends were to describe you, and your collegiates. Would "creativity" and "imagination" ever even enter the minds of your judges? Even in your presence, let alone by your name. Everyone's clowned you on having a one-track mind, and you take pride in your clean, crisp, practical logic. Specifically Ridonks. When you made your political opinions you KEPT saying "OBAMA and MCCAIN are the exact same." It takes a complex or delusional mind to discern betwixt thet wo. When Jay G. compared T-Pain's use of the autotuen to Sgt. Peppers Album, it exercised his ability to make an out-of-the-blue analogy, only to be attacked by yourself. You lack that ability but you can learn if you mindf*ck and do some drugs.

You are much more enigmatic and harder to trace. From what I've deduced from you thus far, you have an extremely high opinion of a) your potential b) how special you are in comparison to the cats that surround you c) the versatility of your knowledge d) your sex appeal. This four-part system is evident in many other ISHiots, but the thing that tips you off is your heroes. Brer Rabbit, Birmingham Civil Rights Movement,.. who the f*ck is familiar with that? Meeting a person just like yourself, with equal accolades, and a distinct uniqueness could create feelings of envy. Disappointing the people in your hood, and somehow not acquiring that Bachelor's would also leave you emotionally scarred. You've recently rocked a "Best Father Mug" yet, impreganting a female is NOT a viable choice at the moment. Dwayne Carter's well-written verse "Wear that latex or you'll get that late text saying I'm late text" applies here, I believe. Any situations of screwing up (as a dad), you losing your temper, or meaningful backlashes of "I hate you Dasher," can easily infilitrate your subconscious and leave you vulnerable for nightmares. Images of excessive humanity and social reform seem to leave you a bit queasy, becfause your idea of a Utopia vastly contrasts with the sad state of affairs. You are also an atheist, but have shown intrigue and fascination by the major religions, as if you're not sold on pure empirical scientific truth being the end-all, be-all source of human knowledge. Perhaps, spirits, ghouls, jinns, karma and other vivid, fantastic imagery could do something to you before you kick the bucket and your soul doesn't find peace.

This is definitely incorrect.

Certain number of tasks in engineering require creativity. There are usually many ways to solve a problem in engineering, or accomplish a task. However, the paths to do so are difficult, and you have to be quite creative to find your own way. Imagination is also required. Engineering solves everyday problems like mines and yours, and to do so imagination is required to create the next big technological change.

That's bullshit, architecture obviously has and can exist without engineers, everybody knows that.

I stick by my statement, it kill creativity because engineering demands repetition and stifling methodologies. I'm not saying it doesn't invoke problem solving and finding solutions to problems, but in everyday engineering work, creativity and innovation is cast aside in favour of designing to fit cost or to fit within existing knowledge. It's a bullshit discipline because every goddamn engineer thinks that the whole world would fall apart without them, which is the biggest crock ever, despite the fact they themselves rely on the research and creativity of pure scientists for the knowledge they insist on abusing, and that without the humanities and arts, they wouldn't have a society to build things for.

hook, bob, & lead sinker



hook and lead sinker yes.

define bob for me, my understanding is that thats the word you use for float, in which case no, it looks very much like one but it isnt. i dont expect you to get the 4th item anyway....

team england(greatest competition team in the world) youth trial at 17 years old, i had sponsership by one of, if not the biggest tackle manufacturer in the world and was on the top competetion team in the country(and therefore debatably the world).


how that taste?


impressed there is another angler on here thoe. btw how do you land a 38" pike through a hole in the ice? that thing must have weighed 20 pounds? wouldnt the line grate against the edges of the ice when it was fighting?

[Jasper]

Got to catch fish , not need sponsors to do it. :oldlol:

Actually I used to ice fish 4x a week , because of my work schedule.
Walleye's were the target , and the trophy I never caught was a 10 pounder.
Any ways I don't use a gas power auger , but a hand auger. I live in the most concentrated fresh water lake region in the world - Northern Wisconsin.
So naturally we fish, swim , ski whatever.
The ticket to hauling in a big fish through the ice , is working your line hand over hand until you get the fish close to the hole. That particular fish made about 4 runs , before he was ready.
When he gets close to the hole , I circle my line about 3-4 times , to twist the head back and forth , then when I think he's ready pull him through the tunnel. Bigger fish like Pike , Musky , lake trout , once their heads are above the ice , the danger is the line breaking and the fish slides back in. You grab the fish as soon as the head is above the ice.
Two weeks ago , I had a fish after about 20 minutes on top of the ice , flip flopping around , and though I had the fish about 4 meters away from the hole , flipped right back into the hole.
About 15 minutes later , I actually caught the same fish again , cause I had measured it. :oldlol: No shit - that's the truth.

i don't deny it takes creativity, i'm just saying CLOWNS like u mad hawker sound like a freakin audio casette recording of a How Stuff is Made meets Engineering book, and i would encourage people to be adequate at both the humanities and hardsciences. ur phuckni annoyin and unpleasant to read/lisetn to. broken record azz b!tch
lol did this dude just call me a clown? Your typing is not creative, and more like how a 5 year old would type. Annoying and unpleasant fits your description accurately.

[boozehound]

this. A broad based undergraduate education is the key to an actual educated populace and not just job training

[Hawker]

Yes the objects required above said traits. But honestly, Hawker, can you say that if any of your friends were to describe you, and your collegiates. Would "creativity" and "imagination" ever even enter the minds of your judges? Even in your presence, let alone by your name. Everyone's clowned you on having a one-track mind, and you take pride in your clean, crisp, practical logic. Specifically Ridonks. When you made your political opinions you KEPT saying "OBAMA and MCCAIN are the exact same." It takes a complex or delusional mind to discern betwixt thet wo. When Jay G. compared T-Pain's use of the autotuen to Sgt. Peppers Album, it exercised his ability to make an out-of-the-blue analogy, only to be attacked by yourself. You lack that ability but you can learn if you mindf*ck and do some drugs.

1. Don't know what you mean by a one-track mind and being logical is a damn good thing. I could say Ridonks is a "one-track mind" as well.

2. Obama and McCain are the exact same.

3. Sorry, you don't get points for using an analogy that's "out-of-theblue. It was wrong and didn't make any sense. Autotune made music worse while Sgt. Pepper's Album technology made music better.

And you lack the ability to discipline yourself. Maybe if you didn't mind**** so much you could.

[Hawker]

You're joking right? Electrical grids? Energy? Sure there is art to be found in technology, but the plain-vanilla methodologies engineers to build that shit on an everyday basis is so devoid of humanity that it sickens me to even think about it. Engineers ruin architecture for example, I worked for a firm once that did full-program building construction and they had engineer-only construction that was so bland and lifeless that it just depressed the hell out of everyone who worked inside their walls, drove past them, live beside them or every saw a photo of them.

Engineers and Architectures need each other. One's better at math while the other is better at design. I can bet that some engineer made buildings were probably lifeless but that's a bit of a generalization. There are civil engineers out there that can design.

[Hawker]

For me:

- I'd like to say probability theory, but I think Jabes might be more knowledgeable

- Actuarial Science (maybe!)

- Programming in MATLAB (I'm pretty confident on this one)

Have you heard of Maple? I've done a bit of programming using VBA but that's about it. It's useful for Excel and series functions but I never want to be stuck behind a desk using it.

[Hawker]

the dry azz way u talk says othawize.

Creativity in how you talk on message boards?

"See Hawker this is why you have a one-track mind."

[Hawker]

That's bullshit, architecture obviously has and can exist without engineers, everybody knows that.

I stick by my statement, it kill creativity because engineering demands repetition and stifling methodologies. I'm not saying it doesn't invoke problem solving and finding solutions to problems, but in everyday engineering work, creativity and innovation is cast aside in favour of designing to fit cost or to fit within existing knowledge. It's a bullshit discipline because every goddamn engineer thinks that the whole world would fall apart without them, which is the biggest crock ever, despite the fact they themselves rely on the research and creativity of pure scientists for the knowledge they insist on abusing, and that without the humanities and arts, they wouldn't have a society to build things for.

Architectures and Engineers need each other like I said before.

You'll only see creativity and imagination in on-the-job problem solving or when everything goes to shit, the engineer has to get everything back up and running. That's where the creativity and imagination comes in. Not every engineer has it but that's what a real engineer is to me. That's what I want to be doing. Not sitting behind a desk doing models and designing something on AutoCAD or finding the maximum loads on I-beams. Those are all important but not for me at all.

I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to design to fit cost btw. Budgets are pretty crucial dude. And Engineers have done a lot of good for this world and for you to disrespect them like that is pretty ignorant. You can thank engineers for your car, phone, computer, electricty, sewers, infrastructure, water, transportation, even your beer...everything dude. Engineering goes into all that.

I admit that engineers could be a little humble when it comes to work. I know I've been humbled since my first job. There are times when they need to admit they're wrong to laborers who have a ton of experience.

I'm sorry you had asshole engineers.

I hope you realize that creativity and innovation costs money. It is not the engineer that decides how much money is going to be allocated for a project, but rather the owner who decides how much he wants to spend.

Go look at some bridges and look at how beautiful some of them are. Those were designed entirely by structural engineers, not some architect. If you think this world can survive with only architects then you are kidding yourself. Yes architects have some common knowledge to be able to help through preliminary design, but good luck getting any further after that.

Boxing/MMA probably, RBA and Marlo know a lot though.
Nutrition/lifting probably, Hateraid knows a lot though.

TV shows- Smallville, Supernatural, One Tree Hill, and The OC mostly.
Calculus
Pokemon (First 150. Somewhat 250)
Volleyball
Some areas of basketball (Certain players)
Tom Brady
Weightlifting (Maybe not the most, but definitely one of the)
MMA

I used to know a lot about cars (Like makes, models, etc), but it's been a few years, so definitely not anymore.

Those are just the random things that came to mind. Some are probably way off and I probably forgot other things.

Because it kills creativity and imagination

You sir, are ignorant. Engineering does anything but that. In fact, it constantly promotes it.

[DeuceWallaces]

You sir is so worn out. Just say eat my shorts or bogus. If only engineers accepted their limitations and worked with nature. They are the epicenter of ignorance and boastfulness too often.

what a ****ing crock. Believe me, I have friends who teach engineering at Berkley and have nothing but respect. But the way you act like its such a hard path compared to getting an advanced degree in anything else is ridiculous. Frankly, many of the engineer PhDs Ive met at my dominantly engineering school are kind of dumbasses.

Sorry to have possibly offended you. Engineering PhDs are generally considered incredibly tough to receive comparatively speaking. Well, that's just from the people I've asked.

[boozehound]

Have you ever met any profs from my department?
actually, no. Mostly standard (EE, ME, CE). Many of them I met through the SEM and TEM classes at the microscopy center.

TO clarify, these aren't profs, but PhD students.

again, nothing but respect for engineers, but the way GM and others act like its beyond the capabilities of a smart person who went into another field is ludicrous.

Sorry if I came across the wrong way, I didn't mean it like that. I was just implying it's generally much tougher. Doesn't mean you or someone else could not do it though.
