18. The square root of 2 times the length if the side.

[RagingInMiami]

21. I'll make a mental note of that

in case the need for that information ever pops up in my day to day life.

[da_chimperor]

24. Don't worry, this is the only time I'll be quizzing you on geometry

You DID say anything . . .

[da_chimperor]

22. Uh yeah . . . I think so

It's been a long time since geometry class.

[McKenzie]

44. what is the formula for the area of a right-angled triangle?

and it's damned simple...come on, another post beckons even if you get it wrong.

[da_chimperor]

47. Damn . . . I used to know this

Its something like half of two sides multiplied together? :shrug:

[McKenzie]

50. half base times height...but I use the formula a lot! n/t

[da_chimperor]

51. I never use geometry, ever.

Statistics yes, so I'm much more knowledgeable about that.

[Southsideirish]

4. What's the temperature?

[RagingInMiami]

12. It's currently 64 degrees here

the coldest it's been this "winter" in miami

[NEOBuckeye]

[EstimatedProphet]

10. what's the capital of Switzerland?

[RagingInMiami]

16. isn't it zurich?

[da_chimperor]

27. It's Bern, actually.

Everyone thinks its Zürich, because that would make more sense.

[RagingInMiami]

33. my bad, but i chose to go on my instincts rather than google the answer

[da_chimperor]

35. No worries, I googled it just in case. I always confuse it with Basel

I hope I'm not sounding like a know-it-all or anything . . . it seems to me that I'm kinda coming across as one. It's one of those days, so sorry if I'm giving you the wrong impression. :)

[RagingInMiami]

36. first the geometry, then the geography

EDIT: But I don't see you as a know it all. You're just making conversation. Nothing wrong with that.

[da_chimperor]

39. Yeah . . . the geometry one popped into my head for some reason

But geography has always been my strong point. Mr. Andrews (geometry teacher) would be happy that I even remember what a right triangle is. It was never my subject. Cool, I try not to step on any toes when I can help it.

[NEOBuckeye]

14. Why do people feel blue, green or yellow?

But no one ever feels orange, purple or gray?

[RagingInMiami]

17. i don't know

but as long as they don't act or feel "red" around me, i'm fine with it.

[AngryAmish]

20. Describe the biggest fish you ever caught

[RagingInMiami]

23. you mean the giant marlin that got away?

or the small bass I caught in the canal near my house?

[AngryAmish]

25. How is the fishing in those canals?

Can you eat the fish?

[RagingInMiami]

29. People fish from them, but I haven't fished in them since I was a kid

[catzies]

26. Where in Miami are you?

Native here. :hi: (but now a Calif. transplant)

[RagingInMiami]

28. Just outside Coral Gables

Southwest 57th Ave. and 24th St, aka Red Road and Coral Way.
What part are you from?

[catzies]

42. I know exactly where that is.

I was born in 33155 but grew up in 33133. My parents' house was next to the canal at 64th Ave. & 38th St!

My childhood was in Coconut Grove, down Bird Rd. past 27th Ave.

So, back to "ask you anything:" what are the good restaurants in the Gables these days? I was in Miami in July but since my folks are in Kendall now, we mostly stayed around there & didn't get up to the Gables much.

[RagingInMiami]

43. wow, talk about a small world.

My zip is 33155 and I had friends who lived in that same area as your parents. And I hang out in the laughing loggerhead bar, which is right there on Bird and 27th ave. in the Grove.
I just moved back to Miami after 10 years of living away so I really can't tell you what restaurants are good.
But I do know they have a lot of good ones with new ones constantly opening up.
Next time you're down here, log on too www.miaminewtimes.com for restaurant info.

[catzies]

45. The Grove has changed a lot, but I can still get the old Grove feeling

Maybe I was just there when all the Eurotrash were up in South Beach.

I miss the beaches on the Key.

I've been reading the New Times online for years!

So where did you live for the 10 years you were away from Miami?

[RagingInMiami]

49. after graduating from FIU

I moved to Europe for a couple of years. Then I moved to the southwest USA to begin my journalism career, where I lived in Arizona, New Mexico and southern California.

[catzies]

52. What weather do you like better, the Southwest or the Southeast?

I'm partial to humidity myself. I'll take hot and muggy over hot and dry. I hate the desert.

[RagingInMiami]

54. Me too

I hated the dry heat. I was like a fish out of water in the desert while everybody over there raves about the dry heat, telling me how it must of sucked growing up in miami because of the humidity.
In Phoenix, during the summer, it's like living in an oven. There's no breeze. At least in Miami, you always have a nice seabreeze.
I liked californian weather though.

[JimmyJazz]

30. Been lounge stalking today, sir? If so, anyone in particular?

That's two questions! :hi:

[RagingInMiami]

31. I haven't done much lounge stalking

ever since they got that restraining order against me

[JimmyJazz]

32. Oh but I think you have! I won't say with whom, but I think you have.

:7

[RagingInMiami]

34. you can tell me who I've been stalking

[JimmyJazz]

37. Is that a question or a statement?

[RagingInMiami]

38. it's a statement, but i guess it's really a question

Who do you think I'm stalking?:evilgrin:

[JimmyJazz]

40. Oh swipe that silly grin off your face, darling. It isn't me, that's

for sure! But, I've seen you around here and there. You aren't fooling everybody! :7

[RagingInMiami]

41. I hope I'm not fooling anybody

I try to be as upfront as possible when I mingle.
:toast:

[JimmyJazz]

59. You are very sweet - I was just busting on you a bit - but I have

seen you flirt :)

[RagingInMiami]

60. you should see me flirt in real life

not that it ever gets me anywhere

[JimmyJazz]

62. Yeah, right. I'm sure you are quite successful Mr. Raging!

You just need to stay away from certain airports.

[RagingInMiami]

63. what do you mean by that

That's the second time you've said that to me and I think I know what you're saying, but I'm not sure.

[JimmyJazz]

64. so you do read my posts!

:7

you really don't know the reference?

[RagingInMiami]

66. No, please tell me

[JimmyJazz]

67. sorry, but I've been napping. I'll send you a pm.

:D

[mr_hat]

46. Was 2Puff Shaquer the best hip hopper ever?

[RagingInMiami]

48. i'm old school

from the days of Run DMC so I couldn't give you an honest answer on that one

[Skittles]

53. got any pets, Raging?

need names and descriptions - in separate posts if more than one, please. :)

[RagingInMiami]

55. I don't have any pets right now

but I had two mutts growing up and if were to get another pet, i would go straight to the dog pound for another mutt.

[Skittles]

56. mutts are the truly American dogs

so many of us are "mutts" too. What were your mutt's names? I always like hearing what people name their pets (I have a cat named CLANCY).

[RagingInMiami]

57. Actually, I had two mutts growing up and one mutt in my early 20s.

My first mutt was Rocky, which we got from the pound.
My second mutt was Dusty, which we got from the pound.
My third mutt was Raider, which I adopted as a puppy, born to a female dog that belonged to a homeless man on the beach.

[mcscajun]

58. If you were a chocolate bar, which one would you be?

:)

[RagingInMiami]

61. interesting question

My favorite is twix, but I would have to be something with nuts in it because I tend to be off my rocker.

[Deja Q]

68. Let me be post #69 and I'll let you know.

:D

Ah. Close enough. I don't get why that that number is supposed to be so great anyway. :shrug:

[RagingInMiami]

69. I'll be 69!!!!!!

:bounce:

man, I love that number
