We've got a saying, here in the U.S. Army... either you like tacos, or you like sausages.
Dr. Freud, call your office...
I like tacos, thank-you-very-much.
Ahem... back to topic.
I like that I've just negotiated getting permission to include a professional author's previously published short-story as a Book item in my next mod. Excellent story, and a fun bit of correspondence as I had to explain to him what modding is, how his work would be displayed, how he would be credited, and the phrasing on the disclaimer that would protect his publication rights.
I like that I'm 2/3 done with this mod, but I don't like that I wasn't able to work on it again tonight (I had to prepare a class on Korean Hemorrhagic Fever for tomorrow's training).

I like that Dez cares about my head getting too big.
As long as it's not like Barry Bonds' Inflate-o-head, you're doin' okay... :thumbsup:
I like the "Gotcha" media.

I like that smug feeling that comes from successfully giving unsolicited advice (of the "Hey, have you checked out this possibility yet?" variety) where the person gets excited about the new information.
I like bulgogi on ramyon, with a good selection of relishes and kimchi. It's dinnertime, here in Dongducheon.

"Keith Moon is dead, now John Entwhistle... we just have to wait for Daltrey and Townshend to kick, then we dig up their bodies and have them reinterred at Grant's Tomb in New York. This will turn 'Who's buried in Grant's Tomb' from a question into a statement."

Always take out the trash..without being asked.
Learn to seperate laundry into whites, colors and delacates
Know that sometimes a backrub..is just a backrub
:biggrin:
Okay, Dani, you might be able to get him to comply with numbers 1 & 3, but let me give you a bit of advice about Soldiers and Laundry. We typically have three categories of laundry.
1. Things that are white.
2. Things that are green.
3. Things that are neither white nor green.
Delicates? What's a 'delicate'? Nearly all of our clothing is made from light canvas, wool/nylon blends, or GoreTex.

DDS format images can also be worked with using Paint.NET (which is a freeware program), and that's given me good results so-far.
As far as getting the image into the books, I highly recommend referencing this page -
http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index...h_pictures_only
Specifically note the text at the bottom of that page:
"NB: The problem with <IMG> tags can be avoided. <IMG> tags will disrupt additional coding in a book, even other <IMG> tags. It seems some form of text, or a space after additional coding placed after an <IMG> tag helps stop the disruption. Use books made by Bethesda (such as "The Firmament") as an example of how it is done. "

I like myself, but it's a darned good thing, since I'm stuck with myself for a dinner companion every night of the year. Granted, I don't make great conversation with myself, and I tend to hog my own side of the bed...

I like that sometimes...some people are grass..and I am a lawn mower.
AND I REALLY LIKE FINNISH F1 DRIVERS! MAYBE BETTER THAN ANYONE RIGHT NOW IF SOMEONE DOESNT HUSH!!
:)
Finnish F1 Drivers... Driver...S.... is there more than one? That's gotta' be a real small niche... like 'Red-haired Left-handed Jewish Alaskan Midgets' or something...

WAMB :wub:
I like acronyms, but where I grew up, the word "Wambly" was used to describe something lopsided or done improperly.
First thing I thought of when I read that. :mellow:

VP Candidate Sarah Palin has a bad tendency to speak in run-on sentances, but this example... her mouth ran off and left her brain in the background, trying to catch up.
Interviewer:
"And here we are down to the last few days, and you still have critics who have come at you and say things like she's not ready to be vice president let alone president of the united states. reassure those people if you can in this interview why you are not only ready to be vice president but, if called upon, to be president of the United States."
Governor Palin:
"Yeah, absolutely, and it's not just my executive experience will be put to good use as some good in this world and America that is a nation just of exceptionalism, so much to offer, and so much opportunity here, and hope here, and what we need to do is allow that opportunity to be seized by the people who live here, government not getting in their way, but government being put back on their side, so that our families and businesses can grow and prosper and thrive, and John McCain and I so sharing of that world view and how we're gonna get there, it's gonna be, good, for this nation."

I like that you think that is outmoded, who's to say gas didn't originate here... people in Ireland have been using that bit of slang here for ages young and old, and still do...la.. :wink:
It's only outmoded in America. Current lingo for 'cool' in common usage (at least within Army subculture) is "Sweeeet", "tha bomb", or "tha shizzle."
Spilling from the lips of someone my age, though, those terms are just FUBAR.
Which is why I dig outmoded slang... it suits my age demographic.
Returning to topic... I like some things about my job.
Today's entertaining moment was probably one of the best I've had in weeks; the NCO meeting at close-of-business. My acting Platoon Sergeant, SSG Fatinikun, is a nice-enough guy, but he's originally from Nigeria, and English is a second language for him. Our meeting today came at 16:00, he walked in, complaining about not having gotten any breakfast or lunch, and started chowing down on a piece of cornbread from the Dining Facility.
Now, his Nigerian accent is really thick to begin with.
He stammers when he speaks English, and it's even worse when he's not in a good mood.
Add in a mouthful of cornbread on top of that.... I couldn't understand a single syllable coming out of his mouth for ten full minutes. I just sat there, smiling and nodding my head, knowing that I'd get all the important information tomorrow morning from SGT Morris.
Wish I'd had a tape-recorder. o_O

Like that that is like possible Umm that too....Only like that only Carah can verify the truth...lol..
I like to say something is Gas...in Ireland..is like its or ones Cool..or Wow oh really...something like that depends how its used.I like that my Grams used to ones say never to old . :wink:
"Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas, gas, gas."
-Rolling Stones-
Does the lyric make sense to y'all, now?
The term 'gas' as a synonym for 'cool' was most popular in the US in the early '60's, part of Beat Generation lingo, most-frequently applied to jazz musicians. It was eventually replaced by 'groovy' in the latter part of that decade. Obviously, it's still in use overseas.
I like outmoded slang; keeps the kids on their toes.

These aren't the actual lyrics to the song, but they make a whole lot more sense with the video...

I like this..where I was yesterday.
I like waterways in West Virginia (spent a summer working in Marietta/Parkersburg in the Muskingum River Valley... was a good summer, with many hours spent jumping off the old railroad bridge into the river).
I like how every-so-often some newbie will start a "Where can I get the DLC plugins without paying for them?" thread, and watching the moderators put the smackdown on 'em.

Going with just the stock Bethesda NPC's... Nanette Don (ShivIsles) is probably the most attractive face I think they've put on a female NPC in the game, but she's not-quite-right in the head (look at her choice of mentors, and she hangs out with Felas Sarandas, who's a twit).
Hottest female NPC, in my book? Claudette Perrick, proprietor of The Gilded Carafe in IC. She's really cute, really nice, genuinely helpful as opposed to being obsequious, and she owns her own business just across the street from a good, cheap restaurant. If she were real, I'd marry her.

"Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency."
Section 8 of the proposed Bailout Legislation submitted by Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Paulson.
In layman's terms, "I can do whatever I want with the money you're about to give me, and nobody can say anything about it, and you can't hold me accountable for my decisions."
Keep your eyes open, people... :verymad:

I like Haneke Hardware, back in my old neighborhood in St. Louis. They're a mom-&-pop operation; sure, they're not as cheap as Home Despot, or as completely-stocked, but if you need knowledgeable salespeople, esoteric parts for older buildings' plumbing & electrical, or bulk lemon-drops to munch on while you're working, they're great.
I only go to Home Deephole when I need big stuff... lumber, bags of 'crete, etc.

Happy Birthday, Gandalf, and Welcome Back, Aeryn!

I like Humanbean's new avatar... ha!
Thanks! (20 seconds of Google for images of "bean" and that's what you get...)

I also like it when other people don't configure their wireless router properly, sometimes. :whistling:
I'm currently leeching bandwidth from some officer's room in the barracks near the softball field... right now, I'm sitting in the dugout for the field, awaiting the next batch of trainees who will come through the training station they've set up on the softball field (I'm providing medical coverage for the training, just in case somebody gets hurt).
I like being able to check my email away from my room.

Every time you start talking about Josh being up on the roof, I'm reminded of an old joke...
-------------
John had just won first prize at a cat show and had received a 10-day cruise to the Puerto Rico. The catch was, though, pets weren't allowed on the cruise. So he decided to leave his cat with his best friend, Al. Al agreed to come over to John's house and live with his mom for the duration of the cruise. John told Al, "Just feed the cat three meals a day, and take good care of him. He's my prize-winning cat!" And with that, he left. The next day, John phoned Al on his cell phone and asked, "How are things?"
To which Al responded, "Things are fine."
"How's Mom?"
"Mom's fine."
"How's the cat?"
"The cat's fine." Satisfied, John hung up. Next day, John called Al again, asking the same questions.
"How are things?"
"Things are fine."
"How's Mom?"
"Mom's fine."
"How's the cat?"
"The cat's dead."
"WHAT?!?" John was quite distressed. "How could you let it die? It was my prize cat!"
"Well, John, I'm sorry, but I couldn't do anything, I didn't see it. But what I think happened was that the cat was on the roof, fell off, and broke his leg. Then, he hobbled out into the road, and got run over." John was cooling down a bit now, and said, "Well, couldn't you have tried to break it to me over time? You could have said it bit by bit. For example, you could have first said 'The cat's on the roof, and I can't get her down', then the next day said 'The cat fell off the roof, and broke its leg', see what I'm saying."
"Yeah, yeah, I get it. See you later, John."
"Ok... bye." John hung up. The next day, John phoned Al again.
"How are things?"
"Things are fine."
"How's Mom?"
"Umh," Al said, "Mom's on the roof, and I can't get her down."

I like that, today, as a Corporal, I had to sit down my platoon sergeant (a Staff Sergeant) and give him a talking-to about paying attention to his junior NCO soldiers.
Of course, I'm eleven years older than he, and have four more years' experience in the Army, which is what allowed me the moral high-ground (and the experience in how to "chew out" a superior without actually being insubordinate).
I like it when I get to do stuff like that, and they say 'Thank you' at the end of it.
You know what i like?

H'yo, Dez, if you're talking to Mos, you've gotta' put it in language he'll understand and appreciate.
I still like this version better than Counting Crows.
