Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That sounds like crazy logic to me, Rick.

Franny has been known to wear white tights. For my wedding (white shoes) I wore linen colored stockings, does that count as white? Against my skin the effect was more like nude minus the annoying "tan" effect of most nude stockings.

Because we currently have no way of knowing, we are forced to accept that the chance of little green men living under the surface of Mars is one-third.

I'm betting on team one-third purple!

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

Well, this is nice. Apparently Australians' life expectancy is now second only to Japan: [link]

Congratulations to Bob Bob! I know that the job market in the humanities right now is very difficult, so he must be doing something right.

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

Well, I didn't say anything at the time, but he got a tenure-track job in SoCal and we're moving there in the fall. Now we're off to lunch!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Congratulations, bob bob!

Hivemind that knows chess boards/pieces: My father has a board made by his grandfather for which he'd like to find Staunton pieces. The squares on the board are only 1" - and all of the mini sets I find have 2.5" kings recommended for 1.5" squares because their base is 1".

Do they make Staunton pieces smaller than this?
