Babe swedish

#3

Seconded. Especially the how to embed youtube vids. I see this having to be explained almost daily.

#4

Also, a pointer to Larry’s World.

#5

An explanation of “IYKWIM” would probably be appropriate at this point.

#6

LOL !:smiley: It has taken on a seamy life of it’s own, no ??

#7

IF YOU KNOW… I mean, yes. Yes it has.

#8

Should we put FrakkinTalos’s BSG DeadPool in the FAQ?

#9

So far it’s self contained in the thread, so no need.

#10

10-4. Acknowledged.

Oh, buy the way: No offense, Pike. But I have 3,500 quatloons down on Pike for tonight.

#11

And maybe “Mmmmm… Toasty!”

#12

Yep. That keeps showing up.

#13

“Sorry Barb” should be in there too. Anyone remember which ep. that was?

#14

“what is the OGG?”

the search doesn’t allow queries under 4 letters, but I finally tracked it down–Old Grandpa Goo, or Old Goo Guy. all I could think of was the One Goo God, haha.

Guys, Gals, Cylons,

Here is an idea: Let’s focus as a group on writing FAQs that we think should posted. Follow the standard approach: State the question, provide the answer. The more background, links and citations the better.

We can group edit until we think it looks good and then it will get posted.

Sound like a plan? I’ll begin. Simply quote this post and make any amendments you want to.

What is IYKWIM?
IYKWIM is an abbreviation for “If you know what I mean.” Normally it is used in response to something that can be interpreted as a double-entendre

Good idea.

These are the current entries:
[ul]
[li]What’s with the “craaap” stuff?
[/li][li]Why does it say “Alpaca” below my name?
[/li][li]What are the ships on the top banner supposed to be?
[/li][li]Who is “Larry?”
[/li][/ul]

How do I do a spoiler tag?
Like this: [frak]Rosebud was a sled.[/frak]
Only use the word ‘spoiler’ instead of ‘frak’

How do I embed youtube vids?
Like this: [frak]videoNumber[/frak]
Only use the word ‘youtube’ instead of ‘frak.’ The videonumber is the part of the youtube link after the “v=”

These seem straight-forward enough. Of course we can always suggest amendments to existing ones, but these look good to go. Agreed?
