^ That's what you get for being a bastard!

(Feel better B)

Does that make him a "sick bastard"?

 

[Capt Worley PE]

Doesn't make me one, since I've been one for a long time.

 

[maryannette]

Oh yeah. I forgot.

 

[Dark Knight]

Does that make him a "sick bastard"?

Hmmmm....maybe sick2 bastard

 

[maryannette]

How about sick**2 bastard**3? Does that reduce down to (sick bastard)**6? I think I forgot how to do exponent multiplication.

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

No, it would still be S^2*B^3.

S and B are not the same variable so you can't combine it into one exponential term.

I would think it would be more of a trignometric function since the Function(bastard) = a periodic maximum on Friday, minimum on Monday.

Right?

JR

 

[Capt Worley PE]

That is a most plausible explanation there, jr. :thumbs:

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

Most likely a tangent function.

Right about 3 PM on Friday, his bastard level = tan(89.999999999999)

 

[MA_PE]

I'd go with a sawtooth function. Gradually building during the week to maximum "bastard" value on Friday (AM for god's sake), and then a sudden drop to low "bastard" status when the rest of us are free from the confines of toil and can partake in CABs ourselves.

 

[maryannette]

If we're getting into calculus, count me out. Sounds like jr is trying to put an upper and lower limit on the integral.

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

Something like this MA?

 

[Capt Worley PE]

I'd go with a sawtooth function. Gradually building during the week to maximum "bastard" value on Friday (AM for god's sake), and then a sudden drop to low "bastard" status when the rest of us are free from the confines of toil and can partake in CABs ourselves.

I'd have to say that the bastard level is relatively low, but spikes Friday pm, then drops precipitously shortly after 5pm Friday.

Kinda like the hp vs rpm curve for a 70s two stroke motorcycle.

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

This better?

 

[maryannette]

That's good, VTE. It's nice that all that stuff in school pays off.

 

[Capt Worley PE]

This better?

Mirror the negative values (a negative bastard index?) and I think you'll have it.

 

[MA_PE]

VT:

nice job. You really are just biding time until your southern migration aren't you?

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

^ Yeah, it's not even fun anymore.

Oh man - I had a nasty 24-hour stomach thing over the weekend. Very Fudgey-like. There was a moment on the toilet that I genuinely feared I was going to pass out. But I pulled through, and now I am fine.

Now I think the kids are getting it .... ughhh.
