I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

In fact, it says 7:00. I don't know how to fill that in.

It's an error in the puzzle. The clue should be ".:.."

Just enter 7:00

Thanks, Brenda! I'd love to see a doctor about it. hmm.... if only the insurance company weren't run by monkeys eating sushi and smoking crack.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Joe Klein is kind of an ass.

The dedication of the MLK memorial is making me cry. Someone make a funny, quick!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

My daytime goal is to eventually move from the bedroom to the living room. Big goal, huh?
Hey, it's the biggest thing I accomplished today. Oh, and I shot the cat and drugged myself.

My boss's dog (who spends most days at the office) has learned that whenever she hears the Windows shutdown music, it's time to go home. So she gets all excited as soon as she hears that music.
Pavlov's puppy!

My cat gets all excited when she sees me take out a CD to put into the computer because she knows the CD tray will be opened and she can then try and stop it from closing (she's gotten her paw caught lots of times, but it doesn't smash close like a door, but just holds the paw in place until I can convince her to remove it).

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

My clothes don't fit. I am sad. The newer lower jeans waistline makes the old tops look short, and although many of them can close around my lower torso, the boobular/shoulder area presents quite a challenge.

This lovely leopard print almost sheer top I wore yesterday looked pretty presentable, but when I went to take it off it got stuck at the top of my right bicep.

I hate saying goodbye to clothes, and I know my size and weight wavers. So they stay, making me sad with their inaccessibility.

An interesting article on Keith Olberman's rise in popularity since he started doing his Special Comments.

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

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Vortex, if you check over at the TiVo Community boards, I'm betting you can find the right person to complain to, or at least an explanation of the Humax/TiVo/Panasonic situation (which I'm not at all versed in). At one point, there were people working specifically for TiVo customer support regularly posting there, and complaints like yours got responded to.

Did you complete it, Strega?

Heh, no. It was linked on a board I lurk on, and for a while I was doing pretty well and was just following along when I needed a hint. I got probably 3/4ths done, and was pretty much stumped on everything else. And then they solved the meta-puzzle, and I lost interest.

It was definitely a fun time-killer, but I didn't feel compelled to complete it.

Oh! And yes, what dcp said has the ring of rightness.
