Cancer Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 The problem with having an encyclopedic vocabulary is that half the time, nobody understands what you're talking about. Compounding that: a portion of those around you resents you for that. BoneDaddy and tkdguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Watching the Australian Open, I've noticed a lot of guys wearing T-shirts with a single vertical stripe running down the back. What's the point of that stripe? "Here is my spinal chord" is hardly my idea of a fashion statement.It means you can sew together shirt backs with crappy stitching and cover it all up by tacking a cheap strip of something up the back. Such garments will fall apart far sooner than ones made with a single monolithic shirt back. tkdguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdguy Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 The rage still keeps me warm, but they were right--it's burning me out. How much longer, I wonder. I've been asking myself that question for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoneDaddy Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 I've been asking myself that question for years.I don't know what I will be without it. It has been my armor, my skeleton, my muscle and sinew, my will, my drive, my voice, my laugh and my cry. Old Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Well, I'm sitting at my computer weeping over a woman I didn't know beyond a few months of a beta MMO. RIP Brenna Stonebreaker Some of my best friends are people I only know from an obscure message board for an obscure pencil and paper RPG. I too would mourn.

Cancer Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 I'm off to Washington DC for a conference. I'll be mostly incommunicado. Don't break the forums while I'm gone. My number is on the fridge if you need me, and Susan is on there too in case of emergency. Ok, love you. Bye. And no parties! PARTY AT LOG'S PLACE!!! Just throw the empties into his bedroom.

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 This is my fault, really. I thought you were mature enough to handle the responsibility of keeping watch while not having parties. I can see now that was misguided on my part. I don't blame you, I blame myself. I will never make the mistake of giving you credit for being mature persons again, believe me. This is why we can't have nice things.

Bazza Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Hey, I got selected to do Nielsen ratings for the first time in my life. Anyone have any shows I should put in a good word for? Comic books shows, and genre shows. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 The hardest part of being a reference librarian is NOT saying, "That's a stupid question." "...I mean it's a really stupid question. A stupid, stupid, double-plus-unsmart question. Did you even think for two seconds before asking such a stupid question? Don't answer that. That was a stupid question on my part because I know you didn't. See how frustrating that is? Don't you want to just slap me? Now, imagine how I feel when I hear your stupid stupid question. And multiply that frustration by a factor of ten. Twice." Mutter something about "high-order singularities in the moronitude field". Either that, or quote Wolfgang Pauli (" ... not even wrong.")

Cancer Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 The wireless access point at my daughters middle school won't let me access the Dark Champions forums on the Hero Boards. It says... Weighted phrase limit exceeded. Categories: Weapons, Violence, Pornography, Pornografia, Violence (Portuguese) Apparently PORTUGUESE VIOLENCE is worse than other violence. Would American violence be acceptable? I remember when unemployed and doing jobhunting using the facilities at WorkSource (WA's label for state unemployment assistance offices) I found I couldn't check out the IT job opening at a local brewery because it triggered the state system's alarm about alcohol.

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 And, on top of that, it even blocks out the content of my post in this thread! And informs me the pornography is Norwegian. We know who you are! Portuguese violence and Norwegian porn..? You're out of control, mister!
