on a lighter note...

I dunno - the last (and final) time I was around a bunch of guys discussing "measuring" things it was in a locker room at college.
I can laugh about it now without therapy dolls...
 
Seriously, you guys are missing out!

It's a lot easier to get a 45 buff with the decimal system...

So there is a unit of measurement for large quantities of stuff, called a $hitload. I've always wondered what the conversion factor for the metric $hitload is and which one is larger.
 
Ten Buttloads are approximately the metric equivalent of a shitload!

when expressing sheer piles of abundance, I revert to the “metric sh&t-tons” unit of measurement. I’ve never had anyone underestimate the mass or volume I’m describing when I reference that unit of measurement!
 
The conversion for "a $hitload" is "une tétrachiée" (a tetra$hit). Based on the fact that 1 "tera" (dont' know why "tera" became "tetra" - maybe a confusion with the Greek "tetra") is 1,000 "giga" which itself is 1,000 "mega" which itself is 1,000,000 $hit. So "une tétrachiée" would be 1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion) $hit.

No, seriously, Google it, I am not $hitting you...

But if you truly mean a REAL $hitload, then you use "une tétramégachiée." That would be one trillion million $hit.

I am pretty sure that this would be a little (insert here "more" or "less" depending on whether today the wind blowing was causing the branches to move, OR the branches moving were causing the wind to blow) than a “metric sh&t-tons” assuming the standard mass of a dully calibrated crap, the regulated weight of it presently escapes me.

Anyway, it is a lot...

So those would be metric Buttloads, I presume. (n)
 
That sounds like a double flusher to me

Almost sounds like you’re describing Zimbabwean dollars.

Hi EGS

I read your thread with interest. Would you mind sending me that PDF? May I put it on my website?
