Oh, I'm feelin' the love now....

Oh wait. That's just your stapler. Never mind.

Thorn

Brasky: Aww. Maybe I'll swing by again then... if you can get your board working, that is....

Amp: Did you just call me a fish?

Brasky wrote:I miss you, Thorn.

Damn, Brasky, I never know how to read you.

See, I read that, and in my mind, you're using the voice Cameron used in Ferris Bueller's Day Off when he said, "Ferris Bueller, you're my hero."

And for all I know, you could be having one of your rare sincere moments.

Heh. You should just shear the cat like a sheep! I'm sure it wouldn't mind.....

32: I'm still figuring the spinning thing out. Are you guys using a drop-spindle or are you lucky enough to have a wheel? Jeff: *kra-chunk!* Paul: Thanks for the pipe wrench. *cradles pipe wrench lovingly* And while recognizing that the plural of anecdote is not "data", I nonetheless feel ...

Raising the kids, who will be three in a little over a month, and are huge and too strong and too smart and have approximately zero sense of self-preservation and would somebody please pass the liquor?

Thorn

Dude. That'd be awesome!

Thorn

Man, Brine - I've missed these. Good stuff.

I'm trying to unfuck myself. Not working too well right now. In my experience, progress happens in mysterious ways. Typically, either you pour a ton of effort into something and you keep going and going and going and it really seems like you're not getting anywhere, and then suddenly something shif...

One of the problems is that history always gets taught in the wrong direction. School systems start way back in the beginning and work their way forwards instead of starting now and working backwards. When you start from "the beginning", you lose all of the cultural tie-ins that make the ...

Thorn

I never realized what being a parent actually does to you. You can hear about it all you like; there's nothing like actually *becoming* a parent. I have to agree with this one. Granted, I got a double-dose, but still. Things that used to feel utterly crucial are meaningless now. I never thought I'd...

Thorn

Szech, what an awesome thing for your folks to do. That's really amazing.

A former coworker's father was a cop, and a couple years ago, when another of these cases where cops fired what seemed an excessive number of times happened, she passed on something her father had told her. A while back, cops were trained that in situation where you have to fire your gun, you should...

Nice.

Jesus, Paul, just pull my pigtails like a real man, will you?

BTW - the purple is /pretty/. I really like that.

DUDE!

Kai totally kicks my ass!

That was awesome! I'm sitting there going, WTF?? W. T. F.?????

Thorn

Stop reading what you want me to be saying into what I'm actually saying just so that you'll have some reason to get pissy. So, if we agree we wouldn't want some 40-year-old skeeze watching either of us undress; we agree that it's crappy and rude of him to do so; you acknowledge that your vantage o...

Thorn

You know, I told Caz earlier this would happen. I said to him, "You know I'm going to call Paul on his bullshit, and 32's gonna come rushing to his defense like I've kicked his dog." And here you are. So, show me where exactly Kitt said she's been leading this skeezy 4o-year-old on? Or tha...

Thorn

Fine, Paul. So, show me where exactly Kitt said she's been leading this skeezy 4o-year-old on? Or that she at all appreciated the attention she's been receiving from him? Or are you saying that because she's willing to accept attention from some men, whom she considers 'safe', she has no right to sa...

Thorn

I think you should just start tasering him at odd junctures as a matter of policy, then. That's really really uncalled for.

Thorn

I don't think it was a challenge, Paul. Because we all know, in a gross-out fight, you're one of the top dogs.

Thorn

Omigod, we have that exact same comforter! It reversed to a purple stripey thing, right?

Oh right, um... good pics. And the Seussical dress looked really good on you. Kickin' ass and takin' names, chica.

*Thorn hands Flak a drink.*

Sorry I couldn't trip the midget before he blew out your candles. Will booze make it all better?

happy birthday!

Thorn

I know that's been my experience. Though, at least for geezers like us, I wonder if part of that was because there hadn't been enough chronological distance from WWII to really /know/ what the social/cultural/political effects of the war were in the long term. As far as how history is taught, I don'...

I should have known it would be TV that would bring us together....

Earth 2, imo, carries the same caveat as Seaquest - before they made it retarded. Actually, it hadn't quite reached "retarded" yet, but it was getting kinda silly toward the end there. Which was really too bad, because E2 was an awesome show. And absolutely they should bring back Homicide:...

She thought they were... some neighbors she had tangled with in the past, she said. Really? She's offended people in the past? You don't say!! Good grief. Some people just don't deserve kindness.

Okay, I will grant, though, that 10:30 p.m. is too late to go knocking on strangers' doors. I don't even call most people after 10 p.m. unless I'm /really/ certain they're going to be awake and okay with me calling. But still. Almost a thousand bucks for an error in judgement that slight? Especially...

Thorn

I did not bring up the past "you", you did: I have always tried - "tried" isn't really the word; it's just something I do - to live my life as if someone is /always/ watching. Perhaps that's a portion of the difference. I lived my life in a fishbowl for a long while, as well; the...

Thorn

Really? Then how come there've been all those times when you were having trouble but couldn't bring yourself to tell anyone what that trouble was? How come discussing your daughter on this board is off-limits and always has been? How come you spent years supporting a fake identity you'd made up, if ...

Thorn

Okay, I take your point, Teja, but I find myself wondering if the jury, in this case, wasn't swayed by the horribleness of the act. I realize it's just Monday-morning quarterbacking, but still... I can't imagine this woman killed her five children out of any sort of sane thinking. Like you say, mayb...

Shoot me a pm or an email, AK, and I'll hook you up with one. I've got like a dozen too.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't she think she was ultimately /saving/ her children by drowning them? Like, didn't she think if she didn't kill them, they were going to be damned to hell or something? And being a mega-fundie Christian, isn't that pretty much the worst thing someone could ...

Thorn

What are you, playing coy?? You totally left off the important part - that the author of Steadfast Shield is none other than our favorite antimuppet, Cazmonster!! So, you know, catch him in his game design debut, so you too can say, "I knew him when...."

Thorn

Well, I agree with Angel completely, and my experience bears me out, too. Seriously, I've never had a problem if the guy goes before I'm ready to call things "done", to at least get some assistance in achieving a little completion of my own, if he's not up for trying to re-run the whole ra...

You've never worked my job have you? Obviously. In fact, most people have not only never worked your job, but most people have never even set foot inside a prison. So for most of us, being searched at all is a pretty unusual event. Sure, we'll go through the occasional metal detector (though I unde...

Ooh! We'll do everything we can to get there, even if it's just a day trip (though hopefully it'll be longer!).

Honey. A cooking show with geek references? Of course I watch Alton Brown.

Well, I did when we had cable. Now we just watch our taped episodes over and over, and have some friends taping the new ones for us.
