Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Spike's Bitches 39: Cuppa Tea, Cuppa Tea, Almost Got Shagged, Cuppa Tea...  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I finally found flights that we can afford at the right time for a trip to Dallas so that we wouldn't be inconveniencing anyone by arriving late at night but we wouldn't have to leave too early either, and I called TCG to confirm. Only he gave me the wrong date for one of his meetings, so now to start from scratch.

Good luck with the closed caption thing, Cashmere. I have had that same problem with my very uncomplicated TV system, but I'm with you I'm all for the keep pushing the buttons until it fixes itself method.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What kind of DVR is it, Cashmere?

Our wings are not tired.

Yes, remotes can certainly push our buttons. In theory I could have studied the manuals for the countless remotes that never did control all the devices. And yet, basket full of various remotes. X number without back plates. X number without batteries.

Aside from depleting bandwidth, it is the digital equivalent of arriving at a party wearing the same dress as another girl, Professor Palfrey said.

Pathetic.

Also, Professor Palfrey sounds like a Hogwarts teacher.

Today I do not have Scully hair. Today I have Dorothy Hammill hair. Alas.

Now tagless for your comfort.

It's a motorola cable box/dvr, Tom.

Tom is wearing his superhero cape today! (Love the Grandma remote, but don't know if Cashmere's DH will appreciate it yet, maybe next week when the captioning is gone)

I think that's how a lot of people see computers also.

We have a universal remote that mostly works (haven't added the new DVD player, and as it's for HD-DVD, probably won't). All remotes remain in the plastic bags they come in, taped shut. This is more protection against me than anything else.

Scola is a fucking GENIUS and has solved my problems! I owe you BIG TIME!

Seriously, you may have saved my marriage.
