Blargh. Somebody make me answer e-mails and return a phone call to a recruiter. I used up all my motivation this morning by going to an interview and certifying for unemployment benefits.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Hey, if they do get any good pictures, I'll send them to you for inspiration!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Mexican free-tail bats! That's my bat!
This is hilarious.

Sara, are those the same bats as they have in Austin? Under the bridge by the Statehouse?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Same bats. But they will roost with other species of bats. They're not speciesist.

Bats are cool.
As well as noble, open-minded and well-adjusted!
Too bad about the bug breath, really.

They need Binaca for bats.

I have sent an e-mail! It was a really long e-mail, so I feel accomplished. Perhaps I will watch something on my TiVo and then return a phone call to a recruiter.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Betcha' didn't know about the other 27, huh?
Here are some of the additional ones:
- A robot must tip its hat in the presence of a lady human being, except where such a display would be construed as a come-on by a jealous male human being, who then might pose a difficulty to the Third Law.
- A robot may not act in such a fashion as would make dogs obsolete, because dogs are less expensive than robots, and robots should be reserved for science things.
- A robot, when given contradictory orders by two human beings, and assuming those orders do not violate the First Law, must decide which order to follow based on which human being has a deeper voice.
- A robot, specifically a big, wide robot, may not pretend to be a refrigerator and then make a scary noise when a human being opens it.
