Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

they're more interested in seeing Baby arrivals and new jobs than notices that somebody is going to be away from their computer for 36 hours.

Yeah, but that's not always the case. When Rio was looking for Hayden, for example, she could have popped over to Beep Me to see that he was gone. (Me having no actual idea if Hayden posted there or if Rio reads that thread, so please don't hurt me, FUCKO.)

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

I have my profile set to load 50 posts at a time. I'm going to change it to 75, now.

Pfaugh! I'm set at 100.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Me too. Been 100 since we got here, almost.

I got tired of hitting "next" and waiting. I can skim more efficiently.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

What's the rationale behind 7 again? I was just going to go for 10.

There was a concern voiced that some of the numbers getting thrown around were too high. So I was suggesting a compromise between 5 and 10.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

I remember making a suggestion a few of months ago to have the Buffy quotes available like the BROQ, so that people can go sit at that generator and amuse themselves.

Michele has a quote generator at [link] Do you want to add it to the links page?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Sorry about my bad post in Beep me. I could have sworn I was in Natter.

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

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I did the same thing, Perkins.

I can't even.

That happened to my Happy Birthday Fay post a couple of days ago. I was pretty sure I wasn't in Beep Me. Sorry about that, ita-who-mends.
