You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Does bt know about this?

I do! In fact, at the Washington F2F after I waxed lyrical about mole rats to a certain individual, he relayed that story to me as genuine! (Cleared up, of course, with a quick google.)

Our wings are not tired.

Gmail Custom Time testimonials fun stuff.

It will be tough this year to get the kids because I forgot to do so before they went to school and they will be on guard by the time they get home.

bon, my non-HD Series 2 Tivo box has been going strong for 7+ years now. I figure if I buy the HD S3 box and get that much usage again, it works out to $100/year, which is not bad.

Plus, I'd be stimulating the economy. Or something.

(WHY did I decide to make 2008 the Year of No Shopping when there are still things I WANT TO BUY???)

Bahahahaha! Ah, man, I always forget about xkcd. Thanks for reminding me. Oh, and questionablecontent.net is blocked for me. Quelle surprise.

Anyone ever been haunted by an overintense dream? I had this dream about a week ago now, and it was so detailed and clear that I really want to tell someone about it -- unfortunately the details really won't interest anybody else. Like, isn't it odd that my brain thought it necessary to believe Alec Baldwin was in Ghostbusters? Why be so insistent on a detail my conscious mind knows is wrong?

(On the other hand, it apparently got much closer to the year it was made than I would consciously have guessed.)

You can tell us, Emily!

I just saw thins link over at Television without Pity (I was reading older threads) and I think it is the most hysterical thing I have ever seen.

[link]

It involves the oldest son from Mr. Belevedere and a dancing street gang dressed in purple, and perhaps the strangest lyrics to have every been written without tongue in cheek.

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

Thanks! Now I just wonder why is the reason for the sale-- are they replacing these models?

Also for billytea: Teenage Mutant Ninja....Superheroes!

ION, it took me about 5 minutes to realize that the webcomics switched URLs today.

I think the reason for the sale is that the S3 boxes just haven't been selling very well. They were originally priced WAY too high, and there's a lot of competition these days from cable-company DVRs. (And even though Tivo likes to pretend that the lifetime subscriptions are rare and beautiful snowflakes, the truth is they offer them a couple of times a year when sales are slow. If I skip this offer, another one will come around.)
