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.

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

You would hate the woman I know that always ends e-mail with sayings from Zen masters, ita.

Does she make like they're in the body of the e-mail? I don't mind the inspirational/funny messages or quotes after the signoff -- it's the automatic generation of text that goes inside the letter itself that bothers me.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I worked with a freelancer once who had a Jesus quote in her autosig. I thought that was a bit much. She ended up going to work for a religious organization (rather than my secular one), where at least that sort of thing might be appropriate.

As for cats -- actually I have nothing to say about cats.

As for the Reds -- They can't be this year's Red Sox. Last year, as with this year, the Sox lost their season opener (7-2, vs. Baltimore).

I got my cat's new kitty condo all assembled on Saturday--80" tall and six levels for her jump around on.

Oh, I do have a question for the hivemind, in relation to this: does anyone have the Gator Grip universal ratchet, and does it do what the tv ads say it does, in terms of work on stripped bolts? Signed, the person with blistered hands who managed to round off the corners of a few bolts while tightening them up with just a pair of pliers.

Settle down, missy, it's opening day (more or less). Baseball will probably be a marginal presence until the playoffs.

Dude, you guys wouldn't shut up about it in the off season. You really expect us to believe that?

Yeah, I'm bummed about that. It was a long weekend though, 2.5 hour show with 26 scenes and most of the second act takes place on Mt. Everest. Needless to say lots of crazy cue sequences. Oh, and we had to create an avalanche on stage using nothing but lighting and sound, along with a few other complex effects.

I can't even.

There is one, same one we all have. It's called scrolling.

ND, do you know anything about EnigmaCon?

No, I have not heard about EnigmaCom, what is it?
