Why don't you post the equation with your answer so Match-cut can then replicate the entire conversation here. :)

Ha. But then the conversation would start with me saying the expression in question is just written in a sloppy way which, in practice, you'd understand through context; that the order of operations is an arbitrary convention; and that one's ability to get the 'right' answer in this case has no bearing on one's understanding of math.
When standing in line at a convenience store, you will never be behind someone with their shit together.
Why do people who are not eligible for AARP membership still write checks at the convenience or grocery store? I try to make it a point to verbally sigh when the person in front of me whips out a checkbook. Maybe I need to start showing them my fancy new check card that I use so as not to be a pain in the ass to everyone in line behind me every time I shop. This shit needs to stop.
So, yeah, there's that whole story where the play I wrote was made into that silly made-for-tv romantic comedy.
My brother is a no-nonsense, muy macho kind of guy, who was dragged to my play against his will, missing a soccer game when he was just a young boy, and I assure you he has never seen the movie. Because it would break his brain.
He's going to a small, conservative religious college in a tiny town.
I was just on the phone with him, and he said, "So, yeah, all the girls here have your movie."
I said, "What, they own it? Like they enjoy it?"
And he said, "Yeah, it's always on their DVD shelves. I check, and I swear, every girl has it."
I laughed (croaked, actually, I still don't have a voice) and said, "So, are you all like, Hey, my sister wrote that?"
There was a long silence, and he said, "Um... no. No, I do not do that."
Maybe I'm loopy from the cough medicine, but that was the funniest thing ever. I'm still giggling.
It's good to know that Edie McClurg is still a hit with the kids.
Spinal's avatar is now officially the creepiest one on the boards. Congrats! :pritch:
My mom is visiting for five days. Haaaalllllp. Meeee.
Double-whammy
Someone just 'liked' my CSG Facebook page. They have a couple's account, and their profile picture is of their naked toddler daughter.
Woah, Jamie from Mythbusters has been hired by the Navy to develop better armored vehicles for Iraq and Afghanistan.
Amazingly, no one was seriously hurt in that incident.
Did they catch the driver?
Yep.
For context, this was Critical Mass in Brazil two months ago. If you live in a big city, you'd know what Critical Mass is. Basically, a bunch of cyclists get together once a month and stop traffic by crowding the road, in order to, I dunno, congratulate each other and share how awesome biking is and protest automobile use or something.
When the cops arrested the driver, he admitted that he did it on purpose because he was really pissed off at the cyclists for blocking the road.
I absolutely hate Critical Mass. It's so utterly fucking stupid.
I want to get a bunch of cars together and Critical Mass the Tour de Lance.
