No kidding. I am looking at a piece of paper that has "pepper->poppy->paxil" written on it.
On the quarter-hour, I think it is an alliterative conspiracy among 'p's. The rest of the time, I think it might mean something.
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I was surprised to see that pepper had been such a big deal. I knew about nutmeg and cloves and mace. Wacky to realize that the Spice Islands really were all about spices. Tangy Tongue Rules World History.
I keep circling around to the experiments with the monkeys who hit the buttons hooked up to their pleasure centers instead of their feed buttons.
ita, NPR had a thing about the problem with knife and blade violence in Scotland that made me think of you. Since guns are Right Out, gang bangers in Scotland make do with lock knives and the occasional machete or samurai sword.

I have been looking at stuff like this all day:
_dt_ym1 proc far
push ax push bx push dx xor ax,ax mov dx,TIMER0_CNT in al,dx or al,al jnz FIXCOUNT1 xor ax,ax out dx,ax mov dx,TIMER1_CNT out dx,ax jmp SIGINC
All of that gibberish actually means something to me. You can not live in that head-space and make any sense out of shoes and cat farts.

With you. The next time I am in a voting booth jabbing levers, I will suppress all memory of this conversation.

That's a lot of pushing, Gus. Are you sure you're not writing porn instead of code?

Is anyone good with plants? My jade plant is withering and I have no idea why.

Pushing, porn, plants, pepper, poppies, paxil ... it is a 'p' conspiracy!
Ailleann: It wants light and food. Real light. The thing that stores call "plant spikes" will do the food thing.
Oh, and move it away from the AC vent.

It sits right next to the window, and I used plant food two weeks ago. The AC vent is across the room.

Hmm. Is it old? Plants have lifespans, just like us meat-people.
