d sharp vs. c flat - extrapolate!

(everyone else: yes it is, so DUD)

Polating should be done in moderation.

Classic when it keeps me from having to explain. Dud when you're wrong.

how does extrapolating tie in to making assumptions?

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 30 March 2005 18:50 (twenty-one years ago)

this is weird, I just taught a co-worker the word 'extrapolate' last week(he's a young guy trying to build his vocabulary), and the conversation went from that to race relations to the movie vs. TV versions of 'Paper Chase' and fizzled out cos after a while I looked like a loafer hanging around his cubicle. Then this thread.

TS: extrapolation vs. extemporisation

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Wednesday, 30 March 2005 23:43 (twenty-one years ago)

the grass is always greener on the extrapolated side
but
the bread is always buttered on the extemporised side.
that's basically it.

Extrapolation is the Quantum Mechanics of human relationships.

Therefore it is classic.

Extrapolation is the Quantum Mechanics of human relationships.

That rings too true to be true.

Still classic though. Extrapolating from anything TO anything is the best fun ever.

What's Interpolation? I remember the word from Geometry....

Interpolation involves wearing tight black suits with black shirts and early-eighties derived post-punk music. It may also involve herpes.
