Garnabby Appreciation Thread

[OppsIdidItAgain]

"Garnabbified" also anagrams to "big brained a.f." I'm sure you'll enjoy that one.

I'm more concerned with how things come apart, and, then, fit together.

Like finding the Abba counterpart to the Abi anagram solution of "Garnabbified". Something with another band, of which Abba, itself, is one. Ha.

How about "Die, frig'n Abba!"?

"Vegas Casino Talk" anagrams to "Vagina Sock Tales," which proves that VCT truly is Tasha's world and we're all just living in it.

"A glass-octave kin."

The note that a wine glass makes when you hit it is its resonant frequency - the frequency at which the glass vibrates most efficiently. If you can match this tone you can smash the glass. The note will be around one octave above middle C, depending on the size of the glass. The real trick is singing loudly enough. Even with expensive, thin-walled, lead crystal glasses, which vibrate with a clear tone that doesn't damp down quickly, the amplitude required is at the limit for the human voice. An untrained singer can do it relatively easily with good amplification but achieving the same thing without a speaker has only been done once on TV, by singer and voice coach Jaime Vendera for the Discovery Channel's Mythbusters show.

Even V, and, Red, are going at it now. Ha.

Anyway, I've got other things to do, for a while. Tasha can and may keep on "singing".

Oh, I thought to shut down the thread, on my way out. And, after another very good outing. Eh?

---> Canadian Pirate Party - 666.

https://anagram-solver.net/6arna66y%...d?partial=true

The Pirate Party of Canada (French: Parti Pirate du Canada; PPCA) was a minor party in federal Canadian politics. Founded in 2009, the party officially registered with Elections Canada in 2010. The PPCA is modelled on the Swedish Pirate Party and advocates intellectual property reform, privacy protection, network neutrality and greater government openness. No member of the party has been elected to Parliament. The party officially deregistered on November 30, 2017.

The Pirate Party UK (often abbreviated PPUK; in Welsh: Plaid Môr-leidr DU) is a political party in the United Kingdom. The Pirate Party's core policies are to bring about reform to copyright and patent laws, support privacy, reduce surveillance from government and businesses, and support freedom of speech and freedom of expression. The party was founded on 30 July 2009 and dissolved on 9 November 2020. The party was started up again in 2023.

To point out the Sweden, and England, connections to the bands in my posts above. Interestingly, these groups were the top male, and, then, essentially female, bands. The internet seems to favor Queen over Abba (behind the Beatles), but, at least I never cared for Queen. The god/goddess groups. Ha.

Abba, eh?

Well, some like their music, I suppose, but the main thing that I liked was...

"Phi is the golden ratio" = "Hooted Healing Spirit"

[OppsIdidItAgain]

For your math-turbating pleasure: this irrational beauty is phi to the exponent, phi, where phi is the golden ratio.

---> Three Essays on Religion: Nature, the Utility of religion, and Theism.

"Phi is the golden ratio" = "Hooted Healing Spirit."

Because of the anagram solution above, I went with, "[The] I-God relationship!", which has 16, or 19, letters depending on including, or not, the the-part.

So, there's (19^3-16^3) = 2763 = [2700 + (60 + √9)] ---> 2 July, and June 30, as the respective middle of the calendars for 1961, and, its symbolic counterpart (in the other universe), 1721, with the latter year from φ^φ = about 2.18 = (0.01 + 0.07 + 2.1) ---> 1721 . Note as well that φ^(1/φ) = about 1.35 = {1 + [(16 + 19) / (antilog 0^0)^2]} ---> 1/1961, and, "In traditional Greek numerals, phi has a value of 500 (φʹ) or 500,000 (͵φ)," and, so, the year, 1961, may be similarly derived.

What I'm going to do, in my next few posts, is to finish my work with the numeral, 24269, in terms of its counter part as taken from stuff like (6*6*6*6 * 137) = 177552, and, (5*5*5 * 137) = 17125, each which contains the digits of my user-numeral, and its reciprocal, from the gematria forums, 7152. And, similar stuff like 666*137 = 91242, and, 666*142 = 94572 .

I could mention, despite several pressing distractions over the last couple of years, that I've hammered out a couple of new developments with my TOE, in terms of gravity as the inherently quantum-relative quantity of physics (as in/outside of the others) and, in terms of game theory as the electromagnetic thus stuff (which then includes the absolute theme), but, all of this is more a matter of logical rearrangement than of any major shift in thinking. I still stand firm on my calculation of the overall fine-structure constants.

I could mention that I'm emailing a dying stranger in the process of leaving a nursing home, for a hospice; someone in a bed across from a patient whom I helped get out of the hospital, last year. He had extensive surgery, in January, 24, to do with throat cancer, went home, for a few months, but slipped in the bathroom, so ended up back in hospital, last fall, I guess ultimately for some sort of physical therapy. But, his focus turned to bossing around the nurses, staying on his back in bed, instead of let them help him into a wheelchair to begin to get him back on his feet. After eight months, guess what? One little problem after the other crept up on him, and, now he's permanently bedridden. He told me that he's worried that all the stuff that healed up nicely with the surgery is now coming undone, and, that there's a big bedsore on his back. Well, hello, shortly after I met him, I told him to get the heck out of bed, which was what I forced my friend to do. Can't wait for such things to turn around on their own. Anyway, there's not much to add here, either, because I'm severely limiting my involvement. I mean, it's easier to help someone who's "out of it", than someone well in their right mind, but just too lazy to "get with it", even if a matter of death a couple years later.

Perhaps Mr. V can illustrate the following mathematical curio with some choice pictures of butts.

It is fairly easy to see via basic algebra that the convergent value of sqrt2^(sqrt2^(sqrt2^(sqrt2^... is 2. Applying the same recursion to other numbers yields various results. For example, 1.1^(1.1^(1.1^(1.1^... converges to about 1.111782011, but sqrt3^(sqrt3^(sqrt3^(sqrt3^... does not converge and veers off to infinity. A natural question is thus, what is the maximum value of c such that c^(c^(c^(c^... converges, and what is that convergent value? It turns out that c = e^(1/e) and the convergent value is e.

For your viewing pleasure, here is e^(1/e):

Perhaps Mr. V can illustrate the following mathematical curio with some choice pictures of butts. It is fairly easy to see via basic algebra...

Do I espy some LA Lights clove ciggies in there? Haven't seen those in the wild too much. I was more of a Parliaments and Kool guy, back in the day. I quit long before all the vapesters and e-cig fags hit the scene.

[MisterV]

Never liked clove cigarettes. I started young with True and Tareyton, then moved up to Winston and Marlboro. Finished with Camel Lights and Marlboro Lights. Last smoked tobacco pre-Y2K

Used to drink Laphroaig single malt scotch, Bridgeport IPA and Gilbey's Gin as well, also quit pre-Y2K.

Gave up those two vices for casino gambling: a fair trade.

For your math-turbating pleasure ... .

It is fairly easy to see via basic algebra that the convergent value of sqrt2^(sqrt2^(sqrt2^(sqrt2^... is 2. Applying the same recursion to other numbers yields various results. For example, 1.1^(1.1^(1.1^(1.1^... converges to about 1.111782011, but sqrt3^(sqrt3^(sqrt3^(sqrt3^... does not converge and veers off to infinity. A natural question is thus, what is the maximum value of c such that c^(c^(c^(c^... converges, and what is that convergent value? It turns out that c = e^(1/e) and the convergent value is e.

Or, the convergence of

Sqrt(fivefivefive) to the exponent sqrt(fivefivefive) to the exponent sqrt(fivefivefive) to the exponent sqrt(fivefivefive) to the exponent sqrt(fivefivefive) to the exponent sqrt(fivefivefive) to ...

If it exists, there is p**n of it. [The sixth solution, the one with the **'s.]

How about, "I Christ cue, b./c., [we're] "out of step" [with last is first]? With the b./c. non-overlapped to B.C., and, then, b/c. To do with the φ^φ, of itself, and, so, I-God, but, next, with the infinitely nested exponents above, of I-Christ. Ha.

That’s interesting because for some reason you always struck me as more of a Marlboro Ultra Lights kind of guy.

Which strangely enough are widely distributed in Oregon & Washington, but are difficult to find from cigarette retailers in Southern and Midwestern states.

Looking back, all the cigarette brand loyalty was pretty stupid since they all smell and taste the same and cause the same cancer. Kids these days care less about brands and don't mind puffing on their Amazon Basics brand vape pen. They don't know Virginia Slims from Camels and don't care.

I dunno, when I was a smoker Marlboro reds were pretty damn strong & from the smell you could always tell when someone was smoking one. Marlboro Lights were definitely more palatable & although they still stank it was more mildly.

And when I was black Newports were very strong and very nasty too.

Benson & Hedges was the much superior menthol brand, mellow & a much more pleasant taste & smell.

Virginia Slims, which I had to bum one once from my GF when I ran out, were weak as hell. Like trying to smoke a pixy stick.

[MisterV]

And when I was black Newports were very strong and very nasty too.

Yeah, when I was in my spook phase I loved menthols too, but for me and the brothers in juvenile hall it had to be Kools.

It was only when I first went to prison that I was able to kick menthols.

[pinchingyourballs]

You both must have more refined palates than me. I could tell the difference between menthol and regular, but beyond that they were not too distinctive for me. I just liked certain brands' packaging over others. I'm glad I didn't become a cigar man. I'd probably be smoking something filled with a Cuban's ass hair and wouldn't know the difference.

Lest Garnabby think I have forsaken him, I present the following math curio. Let c = 555^(1/555) and let x be the limiting value of the iterated exponential expression c^(c^(c^(c^... Then x is approximately 1.0115839989054532886734289720980560283188701114538556021537724827623... This one has an agreeable amount of digit repetition.
