That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I barely remember the Rafmun stuff. Where was I spring of 2004? Looks like I wasn't posting much, either. I was still in school and working full time. That explains much of it.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I just went to OfficeMax to get some report covers, or heavy duty report covers as the label on the plastic film says.

Hmm, yeah. About the cover sheet for those TPS reports...

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

That seems to be the worst thing about parenting. When you punish the kid, you get punished too. I think Laura was the one that was complaining about grounding

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

he'd lecture you about the importance of having a good formatting/indentation scheme. Unless you already do.

My problem is trying to keep everything on one screen. Unfortunately the query includes a lot of explicit listing of values that can either scroll off to the right or scroll off the bottom. At least the software indicates closing parentheses. I just have to make sure they're visible.

I'm shocked I was so far down on the Gang of 14 list as I was! I guess that was back when I wasn't posting at work (thus the "meara" was born, because I caught up at the end of the day every day--long posts, but not very many of them!). These days, I work from home and post all day long. Or travel, and post on lunch and shit. Or read from my iphone (need to not do that!)

Flea, my favorite part of the ASL videos you posted is the closed captioning, which shows the ASL-words!! My rudimentary ASL was catching some of it, but it's really need to see what signs exactly they're using, and how it compares to the words in teh songs (um, especially for songs like "1st of May" or other wordy Jonathan Coulton songs)

Wondermark creator MUST lurk here. Or Tom is a meme inventor. Ooooh.

Jesse, what did your friend's parents do, when their sixth grader refused to go to school?

Hee. I never would've thoguht we'd natter so much about OLD BUREAUCRAZY!!

“Not dead yet!”

Sean! Empire of the Sun soundtrack just came up on iTunes and I immediately thought of you. I think that may have been one of the first conversations we actually had, about the merits of that soundtrack.

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

I am totally in love with msbelle right now for handling the lunch question so perfectly. Parental WIN.

He's just starting to get learned benefit of consequences, like say a 3.5 or 4 year old.

My daughter has learned that one. My 4 yo? NSM. I'm glad to hear it sinks in eventually.

I'm shocked I was so far down on the Gang of 14 list as I was!

And I'm shocked at high I was on the list. Wasn't that back in the days when you couldn't post at work and so invented the "meara" as a way to catch up on the days' conversation?
