I'm pretty sure I have never used or heard most of these.
today has been good and productive, also BK for lunch.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

msbelle is me, except I have been a semi-slacker, and I had jack in the box for lunch.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I never needed the mnemonic. I didn't even need to memorize the planets - I just read about them (when I was six or seven) and knew them.
Tommyrot is me. From 4 until about 10 or so I was absolutely fascinated with both dinosaurs and astronomy.
Roy G. Biv is the way I learned the order of colors in the visible spectrum; never thought about it before it was presented in class in grade school.
But JenP is me in this case. Though I actually think I got it from a PBS program of some kind long before I was taught it in school. I remember taking art class in highschool and wondering why so many of my fellow students had trouble remembering what colors you had to mix to produce other colors.
And now discussing PBS and colors has earwormed me with the theme from Reading Rainbow.
"Always remember that there is 'a rat' in 'separate'!" I've never had problems spelling that word since.
I saw a flash card type thing where the word separate looked like it was broken apart with a giant "A" in the middle, which always springs into my head whenever I write the word.
And a friend's SIG was "People Can't Memorize Computer Industry Acronyms" for a while.
One of my favorites along those lines has always been System Cannot See It.

Afternoon chatter seems to be missing.
Huh.

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

Gaah, just did a whole "coming late to the game" post, but got an error (of the type we call fatal). I shall make one more attempt.

This is filming across the street from me right now:
It doesn't have an IMDB entry, which is strange.
Oh, and HCL fans, Hugh Dillon is in town filming an episode of the Trailer Park Boys.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
This: [link] was filming in front of the bar I go to a couple days ago. Not that unusual for NYC, though.

I figured out at an early age that tightening a screw was the same motion as throwing a right-handed curve ball.
Another interesting bit of knowledge to put in the brain bank.
