More than likely he is referring to Dum Dums, a lolipop from that era, tho some places refer to pacifers as such.

[QUOTE=bcp19;337312]More than likely he is referring to Dum Dums, a lolipop from that era, tho some places refer to pacifers as such.[/QUOTE]Almost certainly the latter. It's still the standard term in the UK.

So true... forgot Dave was a bloke.

Dummy = imitation (in this case teat) = pacifier.
Any implication of being dumb was a Freudian slip.

I can assure that guy who thought I meant something disgusting, that sucking the real thing can be both pleasurable and beautiful, although I would advise a certain amount of discretion even though 1967 was the "Summer of Love".

And we've officially breached the low-water mark here at the Mersenne Forum...

:direction:

nope, we're still in davieddy's world

Anything can happen here, it's a forum thread of joy and anguish, free love and bitterness, sarcasm and shame. Maybe we'll even do fan fiction!

[QUOTE=Aramis Wyler;337324]Anything can happen here, it's a forum thread of joy and anguish, free love and bitterness, sarcasm and shame. Maybe we'll even do fan fiction![/QUOTE]Yep.
Most of us seem to be entering into the spirit of the thread.
I hope it stays in this subforum, because although we seem to veer towards the Soapbox genre from time to time, we also get heated about Primenet and GPUto72 occasionally.

To restore a more highbrow tone, I have thought about the exercise I set you re my ROT (up the bitlevel by one when the expo goes up by 1.26).
I invited you to estimate the effect of two things:

1) time for LL is n[SUP]2[/SUP]logn rather than n[SUP]2[/SUP]
2) probability of finding a factor is 1/bitlevel

I reckon they both affect my ROT by ~1/75 in opposite directions in our current region of interest.

Ain't that cute?

David

The first writing was just wide open to interpretation and it bordered on [U]sounding[/U] disgusting.

However, what you wrote above did away with any innuendo. :sick:

You were just gagging for me to ram it down your throat.
