1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

There may be a great wall of objections to that claim. Once, I saw a movie on this subject, produced on mongoloid, by a learning disabled member of his hoard.

I wonder if anyone has found any of ol' Genghis' water storage vessels. They'd probably be really valuable Kahnteens.

and then everyone wanted to be coolable(Kublai) Kahn.

I can't. Sorry.
I don't have an elephanting clue to what the answer may be.
This is just my new policy to indicate that I can understand the CCC OTD.
Impress some of the other participants.
Where in fact I am usually totally lost and clueless.
So I followed your lead just to impress.
Seriously I am impressed with everyone who participates, however, it often makes me feel stupid and inadequate. I am so impressed with the answers but hardly ever can work them out myself.
I do enjoy it though.

Just money - thought can be demanding anything for late performance?
|
|
|
|
|
Do you want to try that again - in English this time, by preference?

Once I am out of a relationship, would still want them to exist. Demanding peace.

That's nearly a Haiku:
Once out of accord,
I still want them to exist.
Just demanding peace.

I was rather uninspired the last time I had to set one, but anyway. Or maybe that's hubris talking...
demanding money (for) (definition)

performance ACTING

Not sure who should get this (Sandeep and yacCarsten sent emails before but appear to have deleted the messages) so you are up tomorrow!

My plan was to wait till 15 min before 4 hour window as it would be tight for me to post in time tomorrow. I will be out to close few of the outside work tomorrow.
BTW, two things threw me of:
Demanding money & Ex as Late - I shared both with you in my response above :P

Yeah, but I don't do hints!

This is not about hints.. this is about your clues throwing off the right direction.
I was still sure based on other things connecting.

'money' was throwing me off. I'd already got 'exacting' as a possible (synonym for demanding), but couldn't figure out where money came into it! 
|
|
|
|
|
Hence my response to OG that ... it could be anything just not money
