Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

Set a space-saving Mac mini atop your workstation PC and add a KVM switch to share keyboard, monitor and mouse.

If I'm saving this much space, and getting the shiny too, why would I keep the PC? Really, 'cause I'm trying to talk myself into this. I just got a raise, and part of me would like to spend it all (and some non-raise money) in one place. Although I'll probably be good and not.

And no rain is a good thing. Of course, I live where it rains all the time, so my perspective may be a bit warped.

See, no matter what, I can't really get rid of my PC. (At least not any time soon. Unless I win the lottery.) I had been pondering an iBook but I think this would be a better deal for me.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'd want to keep my Dell laptop for some things, like certain math programs and a bunch of other things that seem to work better on a PC, and use the Mini Mac mostly for music and photo and video stuff.

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

It's kind of funny. It'd be better if judges wore wigs like in England.

At my 30th birthday, I made a speech in which I detailed what I'd learned from my family. I'd learned from my father that you can go to work every day in a wig and a dress and still command respect.

teabags a hooker

Now I have the Lipton's tea song in my head. "Jiggle in a cup, or dangle in a pot, lipton's teabags have got the lot..."

Teabagging: Basically sucking the scrotal sac during oral sex. Like, the whole sehbang in your mouth at once.

See, I would figure it should be dipping the scrotum in boiling water. I wonder how many people out there have been surprised by a difference of interpretation?

Plei, that makes me feel all warm and gooshy.

In the context of this discussion, that phrase goes in so many wrong directions that Dr Seuss is standing behind me intoning "Oh, the places you'll go!"

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Timelies! This is the first time on this trip that I've had insomnia. Strangely I feel pretty good... just awake. Considering that I took a good-sized Nature walk yesterday and all....

Going to Kartchner Caverns today!

What is even happening?

We also caught a tiger by it's tail, and made him pay $50. (I'd never heard the other version.) It seems to be my nephew's favorite car game. And he's turned it into a drinking game. Whoever is chosen has to take a drink of water. I'm not sure where he got the "you have to drink" thing.

How did the whole poem go, with the making him pay, bit? Where's the rhyme? We always said tiger. I don't know how old I was when I heard the racist version, but I didn't believe the person who told me that that's how it used to go, until tiger was made as a substitute. I figured some sicko had taken the tiger version, and made it racist. I think I came home to my mother, ranting about it, and she set me straight.

billytea, I am never going to forgive you for that Dr. Seuss bit. Tsk. I had forgotten all about the tea thing, over night. Now it will never go away, and you've tainted Dr. Seuss for me, too.

Theo, have a great time.

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

VM, yeah, the listening in was skeeving me, too, even if it didn't surprise me that much, and I was just "huh?" with the karaoke. It was really, Really, a lousy episode. I tried to switch over to House, but it wasn't there.

I have accomplished what Mike Myers could not! Huzzah!

Well, I knew better than to watch too much Mike Meyers. One Austin Powers was, indeed, more than enough.

It's always the ones you don't expect. I assume you didn't expect me to taint Dr Seuss?

I did not expect you to short-sheet my bed,
I did not expect you to do it, I said.
I did not expect you to daub me with paint,
I did not expect you to give me the taint.
