Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

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?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh! Other funny thing about 2002 -- the emphasis on tapes. Tapes, people! We are old.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I remember first hearing about torrenting in the Buffy thread. People like Sophia and...Theo? Laura? were getting the episode that way before it aired.

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

Ah, the now-standard delayed Utah winter is upon us. Two inches of snow this morning, on top of the two yesterday. With more snow/rain to come. It's gotten so autumn persists until November around here and the cold rainy stuff hangs on till May. Then we have three weeks of glorious spring, then, joy, the 90s are on the doorstep and we endure summer.
Fortunately I love rain.
