OT- Best Snack Donut

dmm · #1 August 16th, 2001, 10:52 PM

1) Never heard of Tim Horton's. Do Tastykakes (originally available only in Philly area) count as donuts? Speaking of non-donuts, give me a soft pretzel anytime. (Real fresh Philly ones, not those nasty "New York" style ones they serve in every restaurant, mall, airport, and stadium in the country. Is that truly how they make soft pretzels in NYC? Bleah!)

2) Looking at the OT subjects lately, it seems that SEIV players are interested in music, reading, war, drinking, and donuts. When someone wants to know everyone's favorite outfit, you'll know SEIV has made a major breakthrough!

How y'all doin', Wendell? Good to see someone else with an appreciation for Krispy Kreme and (I'll bet) sweet tea!

dmm: Jeans and a t-shirt.

Heh, maybe I should make a survey about favorite programming language and compilier + tools. then that would show how geeky the community is! haha, JK, nerds always make the most money, HOOYAH!

Absolutely! Unless sugar is crystalizing out at the bottom, it's not sweet enough

Hokay, I'll play... For real work, Visual Basic (or Visual C++ when I have to, but VB is just so much easier). I've also been fooling around with Blitz Basic (and Dark Basic to a lesser extent) for games. I guess that gives me a moderate reading on the geek-ometer...

The sweet tea again. Oh no. Iced tea with sugar. It is how it is always done up here in Canada.

Unless I am wrong about what sweet tea is??

Is that the Blitz Basic on the Amiga? If so that's extra points on the geek-o-meter for using an antiquated cult OS=-)

DMM: Baggy shorts (that's short troUsers, USA) and t-shirt. By preference the Tshirt should display some obscure geek-culture reference (cult manga, little known comix, any of the Tshirts sold by http://www.ntk.net )

For me though the ultimate fashion accessory would be Spider Jerusalem's sunglasses.

Oh noooooo! What have I done?

Dress: Jeans and a t-shirt. Preferably one of four that I got free from Compaq, even though I've never bought any computers from them.

But I invented a custom called "dress-up Monday." (I don't need a "dress-down Friday" because I always dress down.) So on Mondays I come in with nice clothes, even a suit and tie sometimes. It's fun to see people doing double-takes, or wondering if I have a job interview.

For programming: VB for interfaces and simple programs. Visual Fortran for serious stuff. VC++ for working with interns. Matlab for data analysis/visualization.
