The Lounge	You've been Chattin' with Mr. Brownstone, he's been knockin', he won't leave you alone	Oct 18 2012 16:29 (UTC)	401
Original Post by turtles_all_the_way_down: So I had a crazy dream last night. . . The Horseshoe Bay Ferry terminal was the scene of an epic battle between good and evil in the form of orcs and elves (a la LotR) and I was the poor BC Ferries janitorial staffer caught in the middle. But I was also a female blacksmith and a cancer survivor. Catapults, raining boulders, Volvos, safety cones, and me in a hi-vis vest with a mop bucket-**-hammer and tongs. That was a legitimate Oxford English dictionary approved usage! **!!

Original Post by cptbunny: UNINTENTIONAL!!! That's the word that my brain refused to process! Thank you all so much!! Runey <3 <3 Turtles: I think I'm going to tie in that principle into my paper, thanks so much for that. Do you have the link you got that from? :D For your convenience, the excerpt came from this article, but if you want the real deal (original source) this is the complete text of Adam Smiths' seminal work. Any university library will also have a copy. Good luck on your paper!

You might have to explicitly state what you mean, I'm not finding any one word that fits your purpose. I did find a term from economics though, the "invisible hand" principle. The concept of unintended consequences is one of the building blocks of economics. Adam Smith’s “invisible hand,” the most famous metaphor in social science, is an example of a positive unintended consequence. Smith maintained that each individual, seeking only his own gain, “is led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention,” that end being the public interest. “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, or the baker, that we expect our dinner,” Smith wrote, “but from regard to their own self interest.” Edit: had to correct my own word fart

Original Post by berger_amanda: No children. Not even other people's children---we live in an apartment right now, so no trick-or-treaters. And my husband's away til December. So no candy for me. is that what the're calling it now. . . I miss trick-or-treaters too, the neighbors kids have out grown it and no one else wants to drive this far out in the country. I'm carving a pumpkin anyway.

Original Post by kkelleypatrick: So Halloween is coming up fast? Who else is looking forward to eating their children's candy?? Anyone ...anyone?..... I Hallowe'en with grownups now, instead of candy we give each other shots. The belly ache the next day is surprisingly similar though.

So, bring me up to speed in one delirious run-on sentence or less. What is it today? Problems with the SO, baby news, digestive troubles, my dog/cat/parrot just died/had babies/killed something/passed wind/bit the neighbor and now I'm being sued/subpoenaed/laughed at/hugged or are we talking about the great debate regards the relative merits of pizza/beer/coffee/chocolate/sex? waits for brief

Original Post by immabee: Morning, Chat! Be right back (I hate not knowing what we're talking about). I've gotten sucked into back chat before, I end up just reading and run out of time for actual chatting. Good Morning Chat Darlings! adjusts coffee drip rate stops pinging off the walls
