[edit] Sarah Chalke
Cool. On a better day I would have expanded that part myself; I'm glad I didn't scare you away from the article! Happy editing.—Rory ☺ 00:15, Sep 2, 2004 (UTC)
I added all of the reliable information I could find on the web when I started (or rewrote, I can't remember) the article. I imagine any new material will have to be from magazine articles and interviews. I've put in her filmography and removed the stub notice. It's now a reasonably sized article for an actor of her standing, in my opinion (of course that should never mean that you don't add more!)—Rory ☺ 12:44, Sep 2, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] deletion
I sometimes get it wrong, if so my apologies - You don't mention which articles, so I can't comment further (I'm out for the day in a few minutes, so no time to search. jimfbleak 05:23, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Caulking
Quote from caulking
- A word to the wise Never go into a hardware store and ask for "caulk." Always "caulking." Never "caulk."
Does this always apply (i.e. not just colloquially)? I persoanlly have never used "caulking" for boats, but I have purchased and used decorators' "caulk" for caulking gaps in interior walls. Dainamo 08:54, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- If you go to a hardware store and ask, "Do you guys have caulk?" chances are the guy behind the counter's going to look at you askance. You'll clairfy: "You know, caulk? Where do you keep your caulk?", making a squeezing motion with your hand as if to squeeze caulk out of a tube. The hardware guy and the cashier are going to look at each other skeptically, and then start cracking up, at which point the other customer's going to give you that word to the wise I added to the article. From there, it's only a second or two until you realize the word "caulk" has an unfortunate homophone... — T-bomb 00:25, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

- ROTFL nice one! and the penny finally drops in my cerebal network Dainamo 19:25, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- What's that homophone? The tip is really weird, and probably only applies to English speakers.--Chealer 20:44, 2004 Dec 7 (UTC)

- "Where's your cock?"
- "Pardon?"
- "Your cock. You have any cock?"
- Awkward pause.
- As a French speaker I still have lots of difficulty to imagine the words can sounds similar, in any case I think this is very informal.--Chealer 21:19, 2004 Dec 7 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to Steve Jobs
Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Steve Jobs. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Baseball,Baby! balls•strikes 04:21, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
