It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

So, I remember someone complaining about the big stretched pig Web ads she was seeing. I'd like to add my vote (in the category GetThisOffMyScreenNow of the Year) for the little "hit the bug and win an iPod" ads. Or any that feature speedy little cockroaches crawling through the ad, and thus in the corner of my vision while I'm trying to read a page. Eeeuch.

I turned off flash, which helped with some of them.

So I guess my firm is the only one with problems accessing nytimes.com, etc. (Also Drudge.) Weird.

Yeah, I e-mailed you something along those lines. And, er, porn.

Watch me scramble inelegantly to open my e-mail.

Thank you! Incidentally, that bar he was discovered at is literally across the street from my building.

The Slashdot article doesn't mention it, but his songs are downloadable from adultswim.com. I don't have the exact link, though, because I'm blocked at work from it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Mmm. Bison.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

the cockroaches are disturb-a-rama.

It always reminds me of Infinite Jest, and how the death throes of network TV were both signalled and speeded by advertisements for tongue-scrapers -- they were so disgusting that they actually made people stop watching, but as people stopped watching they were the only advertisers the channels could get.

Alas, the cockroaches probably don't signal the demise of the pages featuring them, or of whatever company's responsible for them. But they should.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Perkins is currently on her way to Ohio with a replenished supply of tamarind balls.

Okay, I give. What the holy hell are tamarind balls?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Huh. I just ended up at trustedsearch trying to get to my yahoo mail, but I reloaded and it was OK. Weird.
