You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

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.

Joe left because there was no tuna

Joe confused the smell of tuna fo the cat for 2 reasons:

1) the cat had no name , so he felt the need to label it and 2) wouldn't you?

the cat's actions - not the wisest ones - because when the cold turkey and tuna hordes unite and rise up to take over the world - who will help hime save the day. Certinly not the dog. Not with a name like Phydeux.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Good night and good luck.

Silence means security silence means approval

I spend an hour setting up a MySQL DB, and you guys kill off a thread.

I hate it when real life interferes with Natter. I hadn't even caught up in the old Natter.

t Unless anybody posts while I'm typing this - and considering the timezones, the chances for that are slim - I'm going to have post # 3³ And I don't remember when I had a double-digits post #

[Edit: I wanted to post another line, saying that what I just wrote above simply invites Murphy to play. Hmm, had I posted that, would Raq's post still be before mine?]

Sorry Nilly!!! I like 27 also, as all multiples of 9 are good.

PS: I'm reading Einstein's Clocks and Poincare's Maps; did you say you'd read it?

Then you deserve that number. Or something.

Einstein's Clocks and Poincare's Maps

I've been dying to read it for ages. I read other stuff by the same writer, and he's excellent, IMO. I wasn't able to find it in Israel, yet, but I hope I will. How do you like it?

It's very good so far. I'm fairly familiar with Einstein's work (and Newton's) that he's discussing, but not that familiar with Poincare's, but it's very readable and interesting.

And I don't even want to try to calculate the odds of me posting simultaneously with you.

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.

Sheesh, I go out Halloweening and you all start a new thread on me.

I am very tired. I don't think I've been up this late in ages and have reached the point where I'm seeing things out of the corner of my eye. As soon as I finish my Sausage McMuffin (I just wanted a couple double cheeseburgers, but apparently they switch over to the breakfast menu at 4am. Phooey.) I am crashing. Well, finish breakfast and clear off my bed, since I tore my closet apart trying to find the gloves for my costume and it turned out they were in the trunk of my car. Ugh.

Still, had a lot of fun. Got a little more drunk than I meant to, but didn't do anything embarassing, so I call that a win.
