ION, McCain Now Feuding With JOE THE PLUMBER

Could they just be competent for maybe one hour of a single day? First, we laughed as McCain called out in vain for his savior of the week, the utterly random showboating jackass “plumber” in Ohio, then we learned this Samuel “Joe the Plumber” Wurzelbacher eventually showed up at a later rally and refused to endorse McCain, and now CNN is reporting that this bald-headed rat-eyed fame-crazed serial liar is publicly feuding with the McCain campaign, using the usual McCain campaign system of internal disputes: Blabbing to the press.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is a 3 inch pancake 3 inches in radius or 6? 3, right? Who eats pancakes that small?

3 inches in thickness, so 8.23 feet in diameter.

ION, a client sent me a printout of a report. I printed it, not realizing the whole thing was 47 pages. Now I feel guilty for killing .0682% of a tree....

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

A 3" pancake to me means 3" in diameter. Smaller than that is "dollar size." Normal size for me is 4" to 6" diameter. Size usually depends on how many people I am making for, and whether I am playing with shapes.

If it makes you feel better it was probably a tree from a tree farm rather than a free range tree.

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

3" is a silver dollar pancake IMO.

Der. I meant diameter where I said radius. It's too early, and the residual dilaudid obviously is higher than I though.

The recipe I usually make says "Serves 3 to 4 (about 8 3-inch pancakes)" and I get 3.5 sensibly sized pancakes out of it. And by sensible I mean about 6" diameter. I don't get the disparity between the recipe and my breakfast.

Which today will be pancakes because I'm out of the good cereal.

I have taken off my shoe so I can sit on one foot to warm it up. My legs were aching because my feet got so cold.
