I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

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

You can't really have an army of darkness with a thereminist, now can you?

But think of the background music...

Are you kidding? They would strike terror into the hearts of their enemies mnuch more effectively than bagpipes ever dreamed of doing. They make music out of air!

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

aw, that's sweet!

We also wanted to get married on our anniversary, also it would have been a cool date- 5/5/05. Alas, my boss warned me that May would have been a bad time to get away and elope. She was right. It's OK, the wedding anniversary is also on the 5th, and this means we get schmancy dinners twice a year!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Can you have one without a thereminist?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Jon, congrats! That's so cool, sweet, perfect.

Much happiness to you both.

Us too. That was the impetus for getting married after living together for 6 years, in fact, it was the last time our anniversary was going to be on a weekend for quite a while. But fate had other plans and now we have two anniversaries to remember.

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

Er, more math, sorry.

The function f is differentiable on the interval 0 < x < 4. If f(1)=1 and f(3)=7, then for some 1 < c < 3, f'(c) must be equal to:

1, 2, 3, 4, or 6?

I thought I had an answer but was wrong. Anybody?

ETA: Also, 99? Just a cool number.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I want to send a link of that FAQ to all the boys I know and say, "This is how to do it."

I'd really rather not get beaten up repeatedly, thank you very much.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

not only does a watched pot never boil, a watched inbox never receives mail.

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

Just so you all know, I'm doing math to put off figuring out how to get a count of our faculty as of a date in the past. I'm not sure my brain's sufficiently present.
