Natter 71: Someone is wrong on the Internet  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

I scheduled a lunch for us today, but apparently did not let you know!

That is hilarious. It's like she wants credit for her intention to meet with you. My students are always writing papers about how terrible it is that you can't read gestures and facial expressions over the internet. Personally, I think it's blessing that no one can see your eyes roll.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

It's possible that I could flake out enough to schedule a meeting and not let the other person know. If I did, however, I would never mention it.

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

If I did, however, I would never mention it.

Or, you know, at least have the decency to blame it on Outlook. I mean, hypothetically.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

his preamble to the tribute to his mom that I saw was super moving.

That was really lovely.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I hadn't heard from her since I offered to meet last week. So all she needed to say is: "thank you for your willingness to meet with me, can we have lunch or meet next week? Tuesday or Thursday would be best."

That's it.

If someone does not confirm you are meeting, IME, no meeting is set.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Yes, because otherwise you would've been dating all the ladies and getting into trouble, right? If only you'd been a year older. Sigh...;)

Well, I wouldn't have been getting the ladies I dated into trouble, true, unlike one of my closer friends back then. (I have hidden under a bed in a girl's hotel room to avoid being seen by a class trip chaperone, for the record.) And senior year some of the friends I hung out with had a Mystery Date style adventure that included a car chase and having a gun pulled on them, but because I was younger they were going to be out past my curfew and I didn't tag along.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Right? Why is she bringing it up to apologize for something you never even knew she was flaking on?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Being a spring baby, there was never the issue of being the youngest in the class. It was suggested that since I already knew how to read coming into kindergarden, that I should be skipped to first grade. Thankfully my parents didn't think that was a good idea. (I had enough social/peer problems as it was.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's possible that I could flake out enough to schedule a meeting and not let the other person know. If I did, however, I would never mention it.

Of course! That's 100% the flaw, not the flaking -- the talking about it like it was real!

I never went to kindergarten. What's it for? (serious question, I've always wondered what was the difference between K and 1st.)
