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

"Jacked up" meant, well, "hyped" or "amped."

In my day, "jacked up" meant the rear end of your car was way higher than the front end.

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

I was trying to explain this to former officemate. He thought I was being weird. But then, he met his wife when she worked here.

I have a matchmaking friend. She's finally learned to NOT try with me. You can tell she has to work really hard to restrain herself, though. It's funny.

Silence means security silence means approval

Question time:

The DOCUMENT FROM HELL needs to be published on the web. The main body is nearly 2MB, the appendicies 5MB. I'm thinking I want to break the pieces up by chapter and offer them as individual PDFs. But I'm not sure anyone would want to download what would be 20 separate files.

So... 20 files? 20 files + 2 files (for main + append)? 1 big honking file?

What a great read, Allyson. Can't wait to walk into a bookstore and buy it to read the rest.

In my day, "jacked up" meant the rear end of your car was way higher than the front end.

The meaning remains similar here, but that's because we're a little redneck, and like our trucks on rilly rilly big-ass makes-the-cab-look-like-a-Tonka wheels.

Is the document aimed at folks likely to have broadband, or home users? I'd either do one big file, or split the main body and the appendix, so there's two. We once did a 10 MB catalog .pdf both as a single file and as chapters, and more people just downloaded the whole thing.

From the rumor story:

President Bush would elevate Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
