Ms. Stemple, on why she changed her name: Bad things at work. People might find me. Sshhhhh...
Davids: Yeah, well, they'd have to come through me first.
Excuse me? Yoo-hoo! Evil cow-orkers? Over here, please. Oh, and don't fall into that covered pit--oops. Try not to land on the poisoned stakes--yeesh, that looked painful. Keep the screams down, you wouldn't want to attract any buzzards.
Davids
I think that's Knut, aka David Schwartz. Don't want to steal his thunder even though he is constantly pilfering out of my brain.

Little sister: (reads off screen) "P. M. Mar-con-tell is bad news. That's F. Wolverine."
Me: "Do you know what F-Wolverine actually is?"
Her: "No. Do you?"
Me: "Well, no."
Later, reading this thread: "I see a bad word. Lauren ... I see three bad words."
Reading what I'd typed: "Lauren! They know your name is Lauren! They know your name is Lauren!"
"Well, of course."
"They do? What's P. M. Mar-con-tell's name?"
I tell her.
"Right."
(This is why I carry copies of my birth certificate with me at all times.)
(Honest.)
In Bitches,
Calli- I'm not really into gambling. (Unless you count getting a student loan in the hopes that a Masters in English would make me more employable than a BA therein. Lost several thou on that one.)
would make me more employable than a BA therein
Am I the only one who read this as a BA in theremin? Right. Just me then. Carry on.
"They do? What's P. M. Mar-con-tell's name?"
Did you show your sister the sub-directory dedicated to Ple pictures?
theremin
Jon, I've been meaning to tell you, some Japanese dude did some gigs in Sydney recently and played a theremin on stage. He's called "Cornelius" and is known, apparently, as "the Japanese Beck".
From Natter:
askye: Because I don't frequent the really cool used bookstore often enough I missed out on a rally/protest at the Capital that wasn't about thewar or the Federal government but rather about Govenor JEB!'s attempt's to dismantle the state library. I haven't been to the state library in a while but it's great. If you live here & are over 18 you can get a card (here as in the state). The Library is an archive of books and records that relate to the history of the state, geography, genelogy, tons of stuff. And JEB! for whatever reason, wants to dismantle it. I need to find out more about this, I haven't had a chance yet.
billytea: If this were an episode of Buffy, it would be because there's an ancient document therein which contains the only means of defeating his demonic power. Possibly his tax returns.
Heather: And we're counting this out because why?
billytea: Only because it assumes he submitted a tax return, really.
