Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Of course race is a huge issue in this campaign, as the pundits are making clear in WV.

OTOH, so is gender. And age.

I haven't been around much for discussion on the campaign here, but I could actually live with any one of the candidates being president. I've never been able to say that before.

ETA: To be clear, I have criticisms on each of them, and I have a clear preference for one.

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

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I just sent an email to the Curious George publishers permissions department linking to the AJC articles. Perhaps someone can get sued.

I'm really skeptical that the Burmese gov't is going to actually do fuckall with the aid they are receiving. Beyond stocking their personal larders and making token for-the-few-cameras displays.

WHY do people keep giving me graphics work? If there is one thing I am really not good at, it is that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Good for you!

Perhaps someone can get sued.

I hope they sue his pants off. But I hope they do it after the election. I think the less publicity this racist piece of shit gets now, the better.

I hate doing graphics work, I suck at making good looking splash screens and icons. Fortunately it hasn't happened in awhile.

I did have fun one time making a temporary splash screen for the product installer that had the product name over a picture of an exploding building with people running away from it. I could hear laughter from various cubicles as the beta installer made its way through development and QA.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Awesome list:

Yeah, that's right on. Although I am preemptively insulted on behalf of DC: real work goes on there! And also, did the author really mean that reading the Sunday Times is the penultimate NYC experience? Like you read the times, you eat a bagel, then you have to go?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yeah, seriously! Though to be fair, it's not much of a pedestrian city the way NYC is, so if you're standing in the middle of the sidewalk taking a picture, the people whose way you are getting in will probably be other tourists.
