You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Mom smoked five turtles?!? WTF?

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

Well, maybe if mom wasn't always smoking turtles, the jive colonels could get more sleep.

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

It draws a blank on google, which these days is more or less the same thing.

I'm sorry, I'll keep the rest of it to myself.

Hey. New board.

I always wanted to deliberately mess with that game. Say something scandalous as the second-to-last person so the last guy was like "mommy suckles five large boobies" or something.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

My iLo dvr/dvd burner has freaked out on me. Unfortunately, I did not do a scientific process, so I can't tell if it's a) just the cheap TDK DVD+R's the SO brought home or b) because of the hacked firmware I installed.

It burns other dvds fine, but doesn't seem to recognize this batch at all. I checked videohelp.com, but the only specifics seem to say TDK's are variously reliable, that they should be okay if from Japan, not Taiwan, which mine are.

So I dunno what to do. I went back to the unhacked firmware, and ahead to the next version of hacked firmware, but no go.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Also. I don't know how to package my lots/neighborhoods in Sims2, so I can bring over my Sims from the laptop to play on the desktop, which has better controls. Anybody know?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Nevermind, I think I found instructions.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I sure am having a good time talking to myself.

Now my iLo is in total denial that it has any programs recorded before this morning. It shows me the program titles and even lengths, but no thumbnails, and does not let me play or edit them. Which is a pisser since I had the damn drive quite full and was about to dump everything off to dvd.

Their customer service was singularly unhelpful, but then, so was I since I didn't exactly come out and say, hey, I think my hacked firmware jacked up your box, can you fix it?

Price I pay, I guess.
