The first person to give me a good definition of the word "clinkery" wins.

design219 · Nov 15, 2007, 02:50 PM

Dakarʒ · Nov 15, 2007, 02:51 PM

Making a lot loud clinking noises
Ex: "Hey Sir Galahad! Why don't you sit your armored ass down and stop all the clinkery!"

Edit: Design, I may hate you

Laminar · Nov 15, 2007, 02:53 PM

Would you hate him if he had a Venture Bros sig?

Dakarʒ · Nov 15, 2007, 02:53 PM

...less so.

BlueSky · Nov 15, 2007, 03:09 PM

The sound of utensils hitting plates in an eating establishment, esp. from the kitchen. Often accompanied by the din of unintelligible voices.

You're old, we understand.

Clinkery: When a group or party engage in extensive toasts using heavy glass or metal mugs and/or steins.

Usage: "When I entered the beer hall, the clinkery was so deafening I had to yell."

A cute jail.

And clicking on the link within your link leads me to the context in which I originally found the word. It was in my Astro textbook discussing the texture of Aa magma.

design219 · Nov 15, 2007, 09:08 PM

So do I win?

Laminar · Nov 15, 2007, 11:43 PM

Yes. You win your very own Venture Brothers sig. Just let me know which character you'd like.
Best prize ever.

Ooh, I want one! Of Doctor Orpheus!

Dakarʒ · Nov 16, 2007, 09:45 AM

I'll do it. It's that or real work.

osiris · Nov 16, 2007, 09:48 AM

I want Molotov Cocktease, in more ways than one.

Sweet! Not only do I get a kickass sig, but I get to contribute to the delinquency of others. It's win-win! For me!

Dakarʒ · Nov 16, 2007, 09:53 AM

Here, try this on.

Anyone else?

Edit: On it, Osiris.

Laminar · Nov 16, 2007, 09:56 AM

All four of my classes were cancelled today, so I'm skipping work too, meaning I don't have access to Gimpshop since it still doesn't work in Leopard. Otherwise I'd be helping out.

Dakarʒ · Nov 16, 2007, 10:05 AM

BTW, found this while looking for some source material.

osiris · Nov 16, 2007, 10:11 AM

holy crap - thanks Dakarʒ!
It's beautiful.

Dakarʒ · Nov 16, 2007, 10:14 AM

sek needs to post in here.

Also:

How long till some idiot makes fun of the sig theme? Who will it be?

How did this all get started anyway?

osiris · Nov 16, 2007, 10:16 AM

well, first the Universe expanded, then the Earth formed from a molten mass and cooled, then the Dinosaurs came - but they got too fat and died, then Arabs got the oil and drove Mercedes....

actually, I don't really know. something about clinking or clinker or something.

Dakarʒ · Nov 16, 2007, 10:19 AM

I freakin' love that guy.

Rapunzel, rapunzel, the tower!

nonhuman · Nov 16, 2007, 10:23 AM

Sweet.

Dakarʒ · Nov 16, 2007, 10:29 AM

I feel like I need to let Doc Hammer know about this nerdiness.

osiris · Nov 16, 2007, 10:32 AM

Indeed, considering how this new alliance may affect the world.

nonhuman · Nov 16, 2007, 10:33 AM

I feel like we need to start taking over all the threads in the lounge.

Dakarʒ · Nov 16, 2007, 10:44 AM

If we somehow manage to get a Feedback thread made about us, I'm buying everyone a round of beers.

osiris · Nov 16, 2007, 10:50 AM

We should overthrow the Feedback thread - by force, if necessary - and make them buy the beers.

nonhuman · Nov 16, 2007, 10:56 AM

I'm in favor of any plan in which other people buy me beer.

Dakarʒ · Nov 16, 2007, 10:57 AM

Ever been to the Blue Oyster?

Can't say that I have been.

Dakarʒ · Nov 16, 2007, 11:00 AM

I think you'll get all the free beer you want there.

nonhuman · Nov 16, 2007, 11:01 AM

Excellent. Lead the way, my good man.

Laminar · Nov 16, 2007, 11:02 AM

Nooooooo

Andi just had to break the epic combo.

It's just not quite the same with a little bit of a belly sticking out.

Laminar · Nov 16, 2007, 11:04 AM

And I'm back from getting $40 worth of parking tickets in literally 3 minutes.

Dakarʒ · Nov 16, 2007, 11:04 AM

Yeah well, it workin' right up top.

He's a big doody head.

Laminar · Nov 16, 2007, 12:26 PM

He?

Dakarʒ · Nov 16, 2007, 12:30 PM

I have no idea, just nod and smile.
