Hoody Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 A marble being on the run is it on or off the tracks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 I'm not sure I follow. I'll say "on the tracks" if we're talking standard usage. If it's humor, all bets are off. I need some context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Har har ... I get it ..... har har .... the marble is on the run ....... bahahaha The Fugitive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 You know, I've never seen that! My oldies station has an episode listed, so I'm going to check it out. Maybe they're 'testing the waters' to see if they want to run a 'marathon'. ( : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoody Posted October 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 "The Fugitive" - that is very interesting. On German TV there I remember only the film starring Harrison Ford as Dr. Kimble. And the german naming would translate back to "being on the run" or "being on the lam" or something close to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 At moments like this I wish I could do photoshop ... and create a fugitive marble on the run off the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoody Posted October 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 I wish, too - just to see what you are thinking of now. 'The gimp' could be a replacement for photoshop. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIMP http://www.gimp.org/ My old version has some issue with its installation but what is running is a great aid and does the job perfectly.

lstmmrbls Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 One of the best TV series ever. Can still remember exactly where I was and what the room looked like where I saw the final episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Glad to hear it! And thanks for avoiding spoilerage! I've been looking forward to checking out the show, but to be honest, when it comes to viewing habits, Steph and I are kind of strange. For any given show, we're either exactly 'on the same page' or we're at 'polar opposites'. Not much middle-ground. So I appreciate the second opinion. I still haven't tried it, but Gimp has always sounded like a great program to check out. And for people who are new to this sort of thing, it would certainly be worth getting some experience with something like this before deciding whether it's worth it to commit a lot of money to another program. P.S. (Said in stern voice) There is to be no 'cutting and pasting' of the "Steph and I are kind of strange" quote for comedic purposes in any future posts!

Hoody Posted October 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Okay, no cut, no paste, no quoting. How about citing ... => I need to get on the run now, don't I? What do you think about this one: Why do people need to make an appointment before visiting a clairvoyant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 lol Sorry, that one has an answer -- Coz the best clairvoyants will have lots of clients trying to see them, so clients need to know when it's their turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Can you lock a revolving door? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 I hope so. You can lock them all up, as far as I'm concerned. I understand how they can be beneficial in many different ways. And I admire the person who invented them. Probably a genius. Although, if you believe the 'historical legend', this was a quirky neurotic guy who for whatever reason just hated the social requirement of holding doors open for women, which was well-accepted at the time. 'Genius' often works in mysterious and questionable ways. So my imho bottom line is that all the great 'energy efficiency' and other benefits of revolving doors don't negate the fact that they're totally insane.

lstmmrbls Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Having grown up in a family of practical Jokers, revolving doors were more like a fair ride for me. Loved them and still have fun with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Just had a funny thought about a standard door that opened and shut at random, compared to a revolving door which seems a bit more predictable if it's timed right. And no, you wouldn't want to be that guy to try holding open a revolving door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Revolving doors are the only ones men are supposed to pass through first - so they can push and the lady doesn't get her gloves dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a small latch at one of the leaves and its lockable. Your legend is interesting.

kbobam Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Here's a new one. How would you like to be the single most intelligent person in the world? Sounds pretty good at first. But when you think about it, no one else would be able to fully recognize or acknowledge this fact! So it might actually turn into a 'living hell'. At least 99% of us know exactly what this feels like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
