This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

tommy, I don't think you look like an idiot. Also? I remember that picture. I've been keeping an eye on Gus, since that picture. It never sat right with me. It looked like he got it off a website.

Ok, to counter my "look like an idiot" statement... I really started having major doubts after Weremonkeyfest fell though. (Plus I was angry at Gus for a while after that.) Even when Gus first offered me the car, I was thinking "He's giving me a car? I'll believe it when I see it." And when I asked my boss (who's a car whiz) if he knew anyone who could work on a 20-year-old Mercedes, I was thinking, "I'm going to look like such an idiot to my boss if this car thing is fake."

What is even happening?

tommy, do you have any old emails from him. Can you look at the header, and get his IP address?

I think all my emails from him are to my gmail accout, from his gmail account. Is there a way of seeing the source, routing info, etc. for gmail email? I couldn't find it.

I think all my old Gus emails are on my iBook that died. OK, it's probably all backed up but I don't feel like looking through the backups right now.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

At the top right corner of the gmail message, there's a wee dropdown, and one of the choices is "show original" -- that'll give you the full headers.

Oh, if someone's sending mail from a gmail account - is the IP address even theirs? or it it some gmail server? (Because of it being web-based.)

If I only had a brain...

I think this is the appropriate place to have this discussion. I am glad that we are having it in a dispassionate way.

I did a Google Scholar lookup on "Guy Straley". He's not there.

My father, who published *one* paper, an offshoot of his dissertation, shows up in Google Scholar: his Master's thesis, his doctoral dissertation, and his paper.

My mother's Master's thesis, which has never been referred to in a single academic paper, is in Google Scholar.

Looking at a random gmail/gmail exchange, it looks like it is gmail -- I hadn't even thought to look at that before.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Dude! My brother appears on Google Scholar for his PhD submission on Imagination and Expectation in Reading Fiction. That's so cool.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Dammit, I wish I'd ever published anything! I wanna be on Google Scholar.
