I guess they are so busy trying to take over the world and charge for it that they can't keep their regular stuff running right.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This doesn't seem right to me, but being neither Jewish nor a Wookie, I can't say for sure....

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
This morning, I am going to Stanford to look at computer and telecommunications dictionaries from the 1990s to see if one of them has a definition that matches one that is in a current wikipedia entry.

The definition for what, Perkins?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Three fairly common phrases. I have lots of definitions for all of them, but they aren't using the buzz words the partner wants (the ones from the 2010 wikipedia entry).
It's more than a little bit of a wild goose chase.
Did I mention Stanford's study period before finals starts today?

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)
That sounds really interesting, though, Perkins! Academic wild goose chases are some of the best, I think.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

And what's with all the carrots?
Can I get an "OMG no she diint!!" for the end of greys?
No kidding. My jaw dropped. I turned to the spouse..."she just...in her face."
Perkins, I worked for PC Today and Smart Computing in the 90's and we produced a lot of definitions of "new" computer and telecommunications jargon. I believe their website has a solid archive if that helps.

Unfortunately, I need something from a book, not a web site.

Librarian Warlord
For a couple of years now, the DH and I have bought ourselves some sort of art as our present to ourselves, but this year we were going to hold off, in light of the fact that in a couple of years we want to move to a new house. He just forwarded me some newly available illustrations from a children's illustrator we both like. He's evil.
