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.

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

You'd better hope so, Aimée.

I love the sound of automatic gunfire in the morning.

I think 24 is filming by my building again.

I hope 24 is filming by your building again. Oy.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Huh. Word absolutely refuses to start a numbered list with the number 1. It seems to be convinced that it has a manifest destiny to continue the previous numbered list, and by GOD, this list is going to start with the number 6.

I...have no idea what to do. Except maybe to go get lunch and try and figure out what Rodney McKay would do.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

The Snakes on a Plane posters are (mostly) hilarious -- my co-worker and I were howling with laughter.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Have you tried customizing your numbered list to start at 1?

Except maybe to go get lunch and try and figure out what Rodney McKay would do.

Always a worthy endeavor.

Yep. Word looks at the customization, laughs, and starts it with 6.

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

Yep. Word looks at the customization, laughs, and starts it with 6.

Which actually kind of sounds like what Rodney would do. You may be screwed.

Coding and Sleeping

I wrote software to read the numbering of lists in Word files (In Quick View plus among others if my code is still in there after all these years). It is wicked complicated.

Chef didn't quit South Park?

Sure, but look at the source. Its second hand "my good friend Isaac said" information from Fox as opposed to a press release by Hayes himself on the wire services.

Except that I've now heard from a number of different news sources that Isaac didn't write the press release about quitting. I heard a rumor on the radio that it's because he's ill or had a stroke earlier this year, and some Scientology handler wrote the release at a time when Isaac wasn't in much of a position to say no.

I'm not sure that any of the "is sick/had a stroke" talk is true, but I've heard from multiple sources that Isaac did not write the original press release, so I'm now inclined to believe that part.

Word absolutely refuses to start a numbered list with the number 1. It seems to be convinced that it has a manifest destiny to continue the previous numbered list, and by GOD, this list is going to start with the number 6.

When you go to the Bullets and Numbering menu item on the Format Menu, it should pull up a control window, and when you look at the Numbering tab, there should be some radio buttons that determine whether the numbered list starts fresh, or continues the last numbered list.

If you've already done all that, then your Word is possessed.
