Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Yeah, amych, now that you mention it, Madeline Albright is pretty wee, the only exception was the Attorney General (who's name escapes me at the moment).

No. This is the sign for "Geek."

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Since y'all enjoyed my Sister Patricia story so much, here's another (she was my first grade teacher). One day she told us to line up for the restroom. I stood up and promptly fell down. She came over and yelled at me to get up. I couldn't and I was scared. She continued to yell and tell me I just wanted attention. I started crying. My mom was called as I couldn't ("wouldn't") get up. Well, I ended up in the hospital for several days, got a spinal tap, couldn't walk. Turned out to be a mysterious ailment that went away on its own ("Must have been a virus settled in the child's spine"). Did the nun apologize? Hell no.

Oh, you're going down, man. You'd better watch the annuli and nuclei of your vertebral disks.

Your tag here.

Whew! Caught up. Now I shall say goodnight Buffistas! I'll catch up to you tomorrow.

Ok, I'll add my $0.02 to the numbers thing. I had a basic electronics class in college. I never could understand how they relied on an imaginary number i (square root of -1) to describe real world processes like electricity.

Silly math. I think the matrix has me.

Compassionately intolerant

Seconding the appreciation for all the lovely birthday wishes. Thanks muchly.

All in all, a great day. Capped with mounds and mounds of my favorite sushi, a nice white chocolate cake and "Our Mrs. Reynolds" and "Trash". (I've got converts ready to line up for the bdm right now!)

It was a day when it felt good to be me. I hope the same was true for each of you. Not the being me, of course...

G'night and good wishes to all.
