“Y” is for moi???
YAY!!!
Y is for you.. Your the one Joanne
No, why is for ewe
rather, four ewe
inability. to delete or edit unreplied to comment. frustrating.
Melvin? Hmmm… Melvin Colan? Nope, good thing too as I’m certain a lot less people would tune in to a show hosted by a Melvin - especially one of the female persuasion! Thankfully you also are not named Sam-I-am or Yertle.
PS: the front of a boat is referred to as the “bow”, not the “bow”. See, there is a subtle difference in the pronunciation of the “ow” as in ‘ow, that hurt’!!
Toodles!
This has absolutely no relation to today’s show but it is just too good to miss!
The ABSOLUTE best way to clean your monitor.
Cute but I think this way might work better!
WARNING not for minors!
OK, but my boys sometimes watch the show over my shoulder so I had to keep that in mind.
CC, what, your boys don\’t like \”The Girls\”?
Au contraire my alphabetical friend! For 4 & 7 year olds they are already quite popular with the ladies! It\’s when \”We saw boobies on Poppa\’s computer!\” gets around the school and daycare that I may have some clarifying to do and would rather avoid that!
By the way:
boobies = the girls
it\\\’s syn\\\’o·nym\\\’ic
here you go.
Y, you gave us this?
I don\’t know, an incentive?
My haiku is done.
Thanks Joanne, I appreciate the Y\’s and the why\’s you provide us. Y is so versatile; sometimes a vowel, sometimes not. It\’ll take me a while to go through all of your links, but it\’ll be fun!
C-C, I MUST LOVE DOGS!
By the way Joanne et al. the Chumby is out now! I learned about the chumby from you probably 3/4 of a year ago, and now it\’s a reality. I\’d like to know if it can play RB content.
Speaking of Bumble-Bs, meet my crew.
Jo, what about alpha ” α ”
Alpha (letter), a letter in the Greek alphabet. α may be used as the symbol for:
* Angle of attack in aerodynamics
* Common-base current gain of a transistor in electronics
* In physics:
α= Angular acceleration
α= Fine-structure constant, a fundamental physical constant
α= Alpha particle, form of particle radiation
α= H-alpha, or H-α, an emission line created by hydrogen atoms
* The alpha carbon in organic chemistry
* In Bayer designation, the typically brightest star in a constellation
* The significance level in statistical hypothesis testing
* Alpha channel, describing transparency and opacity in computer graphics
* The alpha coefficient in evaluating financial returns
* Thermal diffusivity
* A symbol to denote Direct proportion, in mathematics
* In Astronomy:
α= The brightest star in a constellation.
Tomorrow stay tuned for B-eta…
You’ll be hearing from lawyers representing the League of Melvin.
Not to mention the Union of Volunteers Undoing Leek Abuse.
Akebono, by the way, is 6-foot-8 and wrestled at more than 500 pounds. He has slimmed down some (!!) but in this clip he is clearly using his weight to his advantage. The bodybuilder could have blocked him if he had known how, but obviously he did not.
(For an example of how to defeat a much bigger dude at arm wrestling, check out Magnus Samuelsson besting the gigantic Nathan Jones at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCZmt2lOjbY&feature=related)
(Note: Not for the extremely squeamish)
Note the two-foot scar on Akebono’s left triceps, by the way. Life ain’t always easy for a guy that big.
He’s been a real flop in mixed martial arts, as despite his size and strength, he has a jaw of the finest Irish crystal.
Hey - is that a new map!??
What happen to the one with the hole below India? Can i have it, if i promisse not to sell it on ebay?? :)
THIS JUST IN-QUICK JOANNE, RUN A SLITHER OF BLANK PAPER ACROSS FOREHEAD!
It has been scientifically proven that if we drink 1 liter of water
every day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1
kilo of Ecoli bacteria (found in feces).
In other words, we are consuming more than 2 pounds of poop. However
we do not run that risk when drinking wine (or whiskey or rum or
tequila or beer or any other liquor), because alcohol goes through a
purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.
Water = Poop
Wine= Health
Therefore: It is better to drink wine and talk stupid, than it is to
drink water and be full of shit. There’s no need to thank me for this
valuable information, I am doing this as a public service. Now you go
on and have a nice day
“H” is for Hairdo. Yesterday’s/Today’s is ok, but I like this one better:
:D :D :D :P

Sorry Kam, you know how crazy families can get.
I got a new computer with Vista so I could work faster, harder, stronger, longer, and the computer essentially said, “Oh, no one told you? I don’t actually work with any software that’s more that five minutes old. Welcome to the future, idiot.”
Mac should do a commercial that is just a ten second clip of the PC guy beating up it’s user and laughing maniacally.
Exsqueeze me!
Excuuuuze me, @ least I\’m not called Kam! or Yatta.
That\’s right you\’re not!
\”Just stand up straight & it\’ll feel great!\” classic lol…
W is for WTF?
indeed Vista is not the best Software out there <.<
i commend you for the Tetris band!
and that you (almsot) got the whole alphabet :)
y is 4 U? Vista … go linux! :)
“Just think Joanne, New York, the Big Apple, you’ll be famous! er…is that an iceberg dead ahead?”
Joanne: Stop copping a feel Kam! And yeah, that is an iceberg. Why don\’t you get the icepick and fill up the freezer.
Glad to see the writer\’s strike hasn\’t affected the sparkling, intellectual wit that is Rocketboom!!

Happy Wodka/Thanksgiving Day to you too Joanne and don\’t forget to turn the oven on, that turkey won\’t roast itself. Or maybe it will….if it\’s a self-roasting/self-toasting turkey. Ahh, just pour some water on it.
Cheers!
Joanne, B-man said \”1 liter of water\”a day!!! Actually there was no specification on the quantity of wine to consume so; to each his own, as Joanne has done!
Please RB, tell us the story of the map. Did you buy a new one? Did you repair the original? Serious RB fans want to know.
I agree. If THE map really did get toasted, I\’d like to hear about it.
(cut to episode with endless slo-mo clips of \”the incident,\” flashbacks of Joanne and the map walking hand in hand in Central Park in better days, Jo and Drew desperately trying to dispose of the corpse afterwards, etc.)
Then eBay it to the high bidder and donate the money to charity. Or use the proceeds to help fund a future RB Night at some tasteful tavern.
We have endless supplies of maps. . .MWHAHAHAHA!!!
U is for my Unending fascination with your ever changing hairstyles! Good on ya!
The unit of measurement for absolute temperature is Kelvins, not degrees Kelvin.
