It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

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.

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

That was pretty adorable, actually. Thanks for the link!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
How does he shift the court if passes the Senate?
Rightward; there's not much that can be done about having a Republican president and Senate. OTOH SOC was not as liberal as people give her credit for. These things are delicate: Kennedy enjoys being the swing vote and feels intellectually inferior. He may end up switching from a Roberts/Scalia/Alito/Thomas majority. But that's just my hypothesizing.
The thing you will be hearing most about-- because, apparently, Roe was the most important thing that happened in legal history ever-- is that he dissented when Casey was before his court. IIRC he said the state had a legitimate interest in spousal notification (*not* consent).
ETA: I just saw another opinion where he struck down New Jersey's partial birth abortion ban because it was mandated by the Supreme Court. In looking at it a little bit, it appears to be moderate and principled.

Coding and Sleeping
It has 384MB of RAM and I might have some more old RAM laying around, but 384 for sure. Ah, the technology thread, I forgot about that one.

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'd say about 1 person in 20 is dressed up at work here today. I briefly considered it, but decided I didn't feel like washing my costume yesterday. That and most of department is out today and no one among the handful of us that are here are dressed up. So far I've seen fairies, ghosts, a fly, assorted ghouls, a flight attendant and a jedi.
The lab director was going door to door delivering Halloween cookies. Can't complain about a free cookie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, that and the Anna Nicole Smith thing.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
This is (i think) my five year anniversary of moving to Los Angeles. I arrived on Halloween, thinking I would stay for a year. I say "i think" because I can't remember what year I moved here. I think it was 2000.

The headline, if no one wants to click, is "Dick to replace Johnson vs. Gamecocks."
Made the more amusing by the fact the article is full of quotes from Arkansas coach Houston Nutt.
Apparently I am 12 today.

Ann, that's a ferret.
And I note that "Gamecocks" is often shortened to "Cocks."

Silence means security silence means approval
Dear woman in the cafe:
When you have to attach a one-page explanation of your costume to the back of your shirt, it's not a good costume.
When the explanation is in 11 point type and virtually unreadable by my bad-vision eyes, it's really not a good costume.
