"As the game gets closer, our focus narrows. Thursday's practice was a good one. We were able to accomplish what we needed to, as our coaches have done a great job preparing. The media requirements were a little less today (but always some), and most of the team is choosing to relax at night. Not much to report on my end unfortunately... just trying to soak it all in and do what I need to do to be ready for Sunday. It's a fun atmosphere in Detroit. You can really sense an excitement in everyone, just being here. I am looking forward to seeing my family soon. Tomorrow will be a lighter practice, and Saturday is a walkthrough. Okay, enough for today. I know, not terribly insightful, but I guess I'm daydreaming about some big game or something... ha ha. I hope you all are getting ready for Sunday. If your having a party, stock up on some of my BBQ sauce or Beef Jerky. You can buy them both from my site, and their the best you'll find. At least I think so. Gotta go. Your friend, Ben "

Hola DC Noizers. The game last night was so fun. RFK is a lot smaller than I had remembered it. (Went to lots of Redskins games as a girl.) DC ran away with it 4-0. After the first two goals it was hard to get excited about additional goals. The announcer says everything in both English and Spanish. And I didn't realize they have elite beers at sporting events these days! I could see really well. We were sitting by the Glasgow goal first half so I could see Adu's little running play and goal very well. All this by way of, we should all go next time. The seats aren't full at all, so I think you can basically pick where you want to seat. We had seats near up, but we actually sat farther back so we could be in cover of the rain.

Who wants to see the soccer movie, this Sat. night maybe?

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 13 July 2006 22:02 (nineteen years ago)

What movie? More soccer. I didn't realize the game was still on last night, figured it might be rained out! Oh well. But yes, more soccer. I am still wasting all this time reading about l'affaire Zidane so I may as well.

― dar1a g (daria g), Thursday, 13 July 2006 22:19 (nineteen years ago)

Cool! It's the movie about the New York Cosmos in the 70s, which opens in DC on Friday. Yeah, I was afraid the game would get rained out, after I went to all the trouble of getting dressed up, but they played on. It was just sort of a drizzle, but the 21-yr-old intern who my friend attempted to set me up with said that it made it harder for the players to get a good position on the ground, also harder to kick the ball hard. A lot of the shots on goal looked like shots that we made in sixth grade!

Also who would like to do some wine study-lite with me? Like nothing 'serious' but, you know, give some direction to my drinking?

― quincie (quincie), Friday, 14 July 2006 00:06 (nineteen years ago)

The best pieces of advice I can give you as to wine I can give you are that, up to about 50/bottle, you get what you pay for - a 10 bottle is not going to be as enjoyable as a 15 or a 35 dollar bottle.

The second is that the fun is in the learning - try different kinds, take recommendations, and make at least a mental note of types that you like and where they're from.

And if you DON'T like something, don't think to hard about it. There are SO many different wines that you can find something out there that you like within your price range.

Start with about 15/bottle. There are a number of good ones across the board that way.

I'm guessing, however, that Ally is objecting to my "you get what you pay for" statement re: wine. You have other opinions? B/c I can assure you that me wife and I have done a THOROUGH sampling of wines, and have found it to be generally true.

Is there any particular reason the entire group of you dudes are too stupid to understand my "it wasn't a perjorative statement, it was just a statement of fact" re: Maryland's flag looking like a jouster's colors? I never actually said the words "I don't like this flag."

Andy, I don't know a single person besides really wealthy idiots with too much time on their hands who buy $1000 bottles of wine for fun who actually subscribes to that belief. Not a single wine buyer I know, not a single wine collector I know. And I know a lot of them. Unless you are strictly talking about wines made in California, in which case you're pretty much OTM, but also kind of limiting yourself.

I'm really not in the mood for ILX today, I think.

i'm not even in the same universe as a wine snob, but since with that stuff "what you pay for" is so often this vague amorphous "prestige" rather than actual quality of product, you can totally get good shit on the cheap.

― FAN DEATH (teenagequiet), Friday, 14 July 2006 13:44 (nineteen years ago)

"As it always is with tyrants." I like that flag, too.

Ally - I did make the qualification re: up to 50/bottle. Past that, the prices seem to get sillier than the labels and adjectives used to describe the wine.

And, if I can limit myself to one region for vino, California ain't a bad choice for me right now.

― Big Loud Ape Mountain (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Friday, 14 July 2006 13:46 (nineteen years ago)

ZR on point

1. A lot of wine is imported so exchange rates come in to play HEAVYSTYLE
2. A lot of your wine price is directly related to the overhead of the place you're buying it from. ABC license + posho rent, I'm looking at you.
3. Oh and the real estate of the winery! Did they buy that land north of SF in 1999 or 1972? Is it in ghetto Peru or extra-ghetto Peru? Given to your ancestor from the Templars, you say?
4. Add these up and actual taste turns out to be one of the LEAST influential factors in wine pricing, so from an ECONOMICS AND ENGINEERING STANDPOINT, you are so wrong it hurts.

Empirical evidence collected by myself and the wife would seem to indicate otherwise.

But, then again, we tend to stay around the bottom of the ladder and usually only California reds. So your HIGH FALLUTIN', BOOK LEARNIN' has little to no effect on my concept of wine/price.

I'm talking the "got to get a bottle of wine" wine, not "drinking it is the last thing you want to do with it" wine.

Thomas "Boston" Corbett, who shot and mortally wounded John Wilkes Booth in the early morning hours of April 26, 1865, was born in England in 1832. As a child he emigrated with his family to the United States where they settled in New York City. He later moved to Troy where he married and worked as a hatter. His wife died in childbirth.

Corbett moved to Boston (from whence he took his name) and became a devout Christian, wearing his hair long in the style of Jesus. To avoid temptation, he castrated himself with a pair of scissors.

Best advice I've followed for non-U.S. wine is to find a trustworthy importer on the back of the bottle (Kermit Lynch, Terry Thies, Click(for Australia), etc.). And stick with Roederer for sparkling wine: $18-$20 for the best non-Champagne Champagne.

Lets pull off the road and into that loving zone

And then it happened
Once again I got that

Stephen, haha, I'm surprised I didn't see you. It wasn't exactly crowded:)

I wasn't able to decide on a crush because I couldn't see the players faces well enough (where we were sitting the TV screen was obstructed). I Tivo'd the game though so I plan to watch in hopes of developing at least one (1) crush per side.

I was looking for the darling Nakamura of Celtic who is eminently crushable, having seen him on the Japanese tele, but apparently he was resting from his World Cup showing.

Check construction status on the HOUSE OF SWEDEN then up to the roof of the KENNEDY CENTER and take a look around, prime views all sides. Walk home through ROCK CREEK PARK, take a nap, and head out tonight for the annual Bastille Day madness at BISTROT DU COIN and damn there's a lot to love about WASHINGTON DC.

1. Walk out early.
2. Pack up and hit the road for some tiny-ass town in the Adirondacks, where friends claim to have a farm.
3. Spend 15 hours in Baltimore, Philly, Jersey gridlock, reconsider the whole thing.
4. For three days, drink beer outside on grass instead of outside on sidewalk.
5. Return, fail to act on resolution to spend more time "in nature".

I think being able to make comics from random material swiped off the internet in plain view of my whole office in between actually doing work is pretty close to getting a stipend for just being myself. it really was a mistake for them to tell me we all had Microsoft Publisher (not as good as Visio, but tis a poor craftsman that blames his tools).

I will gladly take conversations about indie rock, baseball, comic books or real estate any day for the rest of my life than to hear or read another word about how one region of america is something to be proud of while another one sucks. I'm from fucking Alabama, people. I seriously think anybody who takes pride in the accident of their local geography is fucking brain damaged. That does not include representation in sporting leagues. Can we just agree that all the cities in this country are basically ruled by the Republican Party and therefore each one is equally as shit as the rest by default?

what's the plan today? first I gotta take a metro over to neiman marcus to pay for these jeans I put on hold. dudes, do they really not take visa/mastercard (amex/store card only) or was the clerk just messing with me 'cause I came in on casual friday and looked like a slob?

― dar1a g (daria g), Sunday, 16 July 2006 14:09 (nineteen years ago)

No, they really don't. Bizarre. I hear there is a good sale on? What sort of jeans did you get?

I need another bikini. Where to shop? Coworker told me most stores had gotten rid of bikini stock, but it is still July, goddamn it!

It is so hot that I am loathe to leave the house today. Except maybe for pool.

No problem. You owe nothing. Anytime, really. It's like, fun and stuff. We took a walk through the garden the other night and we were right @ your plot and there was a deer standing in the compost bin looking right at us. We got about ten, fifteen feet away from it and then it scampered into the woods.

― Mr. Que (Mr.Que), Monday, 17 July 2006 20:08 (nineteen years ago)

My plot would look a lot more awesome if I wasn't stuck right next to He Who Does Not Grow Weeds.

And cars blocking the entire street off, all the time.

Construction of the traffic circle, originally called Pacific Circle, began in 1871. In 1882, Congress authorized a memorial statue of Samuel Francis du Pont in recognition of his service as a rear admiral during the Civil War. A bronze statue was erected in 1884 in a park at the center of the circle. The Du Pont family moved the sculpture to Wilmington, Delaware in 1920, and commissioned the current double-tiered, white marble fountain from sculptor Daniel Chester French and architect Henry Bacon (the co-creators of the Lincoln Memorial). The fountain was installed in 1921. Three classical nude figures symbolizing the sea, the stars and the wind are carved on the fountain's shaft.

In 1863, however, DuPont, leading a fleet of ironclads, failed to take Charleston and suffered the worst naval defeat of the war. He asked to be relieved of his command and was, thus ending rather ignominiously a forty-five-year career in the navy.

The delicate balance that is my ballsack
Date: 2006-06-28, 12:23PM EDT

I trim. I mow the lawn up top to basically look like a pizza slice with a bite taken out. I use clippers for this.

As for the balls and taint I have set up a system that helps me shave them without getting bumps or redness.

I took a balloon, blew it up, lathered it, and then practiced shaving it until I could do so with a surgeon’s precision. It took practice but I finally felt that I had it down after several tries, one crying spell, and the Rocky theme playing in the background.

So I decided last night would be my first ball shaving with the new technique.

So I get naked, do a shot of bourbon, and then strip. Oh shit, the blinds! Okay close them after waving to my neighbor and proceed to ground zero… my bathroom.

Once in the bathroom I put on a headband and start shouting slogans at myself in the mirror.

“Fuck yeah bitch it’s going down”

“Look at you! Is that even hair? Who would want you?”

“Yall fuckers are gonna be smooth!” pointing to my wiry sack.

Out with the bad air…in with the good.

Okay so the tools are now all laid out. Three different razors. Gillette shaving cream. Water is running and Norah Jones is in the CD player. I don’t know why but her voice makes me want to shave my balls. But I digress.

I splash a little cold water on my eggs so the bag will shrivel up. Good, nice and tight.

My hands are shaking like leaves. Drip of sweat coming from my brow, and you bitches questioned the headband; I go in for the first hover stroke.

I can’t do it.

I drop the razor and pace. Fuck! All this prep work! All my training! All those popped balloons!

Do it for the balloons kid, for the balloons. The voice in my head was familiar. Mickey?

I grab the razor (cue inspirational music… you’re the best, arooound. Nothin’ in the world can keep you down!)

I have never spoken in tongues or had an out of body experience but this is what I imagine it is like. I was hitting angles that I never thought possible. I was upside down at one point.

I woke up speaking Latin and had two leg nuggets as smooth as silk. The phone had shaving cream and a couple of pubes on it and there was no more bourbon.

Today, my friends, I have the smoothest sack in DC. It feels like that Viagra commercial when that guy got his confidence back. I am walking into rooms just eager to show my newly shorn sack.

New haircut? Nope, shaved my balls! Did you get that promotion? Nope, silky sack!

Look, a lot of chicks would be thrilled to catch me staring at them - m4w
Date: 2006-05-30, 5:00PM EDT

So let's just get the embarrassing fact out on the table. Yes, I was staring at you on the Metro. Yes, to be more specific, at your taut, luscious breasts. True, I did pretend to drop my Blackberry so I could look up your skirt (and magenta is just about my favorite panty color!). And we can further stipulate that, at some point during my staring, I was, in fact, hard.

But there's so much more to me that you should know. I write poetry. I read to the elderly. I give to Amnesty International.

And I am incredible in the sack. Incredible.

Please, oh please fair Metro beauty, don't hold my lewdness against me. Yes, I undressed you with my eyes. And yes, in my fantasy I had you bent over the lap of the half-asleep old guy beside you, from which position I mercilessly diddled you to the shocked cries of our fellow passengers. I'm sorry it was so obvious. I knew I should have whacked off in the shower this morning.

But be that as it may, can't you give our love a chance? I'm willing to overlook the bird you shot me as you got off the Metro; can't you overlook my totally inappropriate boner? Isn't love worth it?

To the girl who threatened to skull fu*k me last night. - m4w
Date: 2006-05-19, 11:43AM EDT

You dropped off your 2 friends from an explorer on Pennsylvania Ave last night and yelled something to one of them about her scabs on her legs. I think I may have chimed in with something rude because our conversation went something like this;

You: "Shut up!"
Me: "You shut up slut!"
You: "You shut the fuck up!"
Me: "YOU shut the fuck up or I'll kill you!"
You: "Noooo, YOU shut up or I WILL SKULL FUCK YOU!!!!"
Me [raising my fist in the air]: "You shut the fuck up or I will fist you...slut!"

I couldn't tell if you were pretty because your middle finger was in the way of your face as you peeled away. Anyways, I think I may be in love with you. I think we have a lot in common, and since I got the last word in please get in touch with me if you want to get together for a cup of coffee, a fisting, or a good ol' fashioned skull fuck.

ENTPs are basically optimists, but in spite of this (perhaps because of it?), they tend to become extremely petulant about small setbacks and inconveniences.

― quincie (quincie), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 14:09 (nineteen years ago)

ESTPs are spontaneous, active folks. Like the other SPs, ESTPs get great satisfaction from acting on their impulses. Activities involving great power, speed, thrill and risk are attractive to the ESTP. Chronic stifling of these impulses makes the ESTP feel "dead inside."
Gamesmanship is the calling card of the ESTP. Persons of this type have a natural drive to best the competition. Some of the most successful salespersons are ESTPs. P.T. Barnum ("Never give a sucker an even break") illustrates the unscrupulous contingent of this type.
Almost unconsciously the ESTP looks for nonverbal, nearly subliminal cues as to what makes her quarry "tick." Once she knows, she waits for just the right time to trump the unsuspecting victim's ace and glory in her conquest. Oddly enough, the ESTP seems to admire and respect anyone who can beat her at her own game.
"If I was any better, I couldn't stand it!" To an ESTP, admission of weakness feels like failure. He admires strength in himself and in others.

"Shock effect" is a favored technique of this type to get the attention of his audience. ESTPs love to be at center stage, demonstrating feats of wonder and daring.

What on earth does your wifey do that keeps her out so late???

Today has been the most stupid annoying fuckfest, what with moving to New Company's servers b/c New Company does not think Old Company's servers are sufficiently secure. But wait, we have a bunch of client-facing stuff on the Old Servers! What to do?

Hey, let's just throw together some totally dipshit plan that involves moving everyone over to the New Server, breaking everything in the process, and then have us 'bridge back' to shit on Old Server, which is stupidly complicated and, uh, doesn't really work. And hey, just for laughs, lets make sure New Server runs 10000X slower than Old Server so everyone is ready to KILL KILL KILL.

Yeah it was only so-so. I hate it when half a "vintage" shop turns out to be "consignment" items from like Liz Claiborne. well, my real annoyance was the shop owner was holding a lengthly conversation with a customer the whole time, talking and talking and talking, and didn't even say hello or ask if I needed help or acknowledge that I was there, ever. that's just not right. I have better luck turning up actual vintage at teh Goodwill

I'm going to try to make an appearance at this crack-of-dawn farmer's market everyone keeps talking about. The tomatoes are starting to appear on our fire-escape garden and have inspired me to seek out more of nature's bounty.

Is all the good shit pretty much gone by noon, or do I still have a good shot? And it's Sunday-only, right?

Sunday only at Dupont, yes--but there are others around town on Saturday. You'll be fine if you go on the late side. I only make an effort to get there by nine when I need eggs--the best egg people usually sell out early. There are lots of other hippy chicken eggs available, but the BEST eggs are really something.

I'll be there tomorrow, for sure! How are your own tomatoes doing? Mine will be late late late because I'm lazy and didn't get them in until the end of May. At least I should have some good yields as everyone else's plants start to crap out.

Our tomatoes are running out! We've been eating them nonstop for about two weeks and we're down to just a few tiny green ones. Plus, our neighbors are having a party tonight, so I expect the planters to fill up with cigarette butts and PBR. We'll probably make it down there around 11, hangovers permitting.

Dar1a, you're right about the ballpark; at the soccer game last week it was like breathing gravel. And this weekend is some kind of Welcome Families thing, so there'll be face painting and bouncy castle. Brrr.

anything to do with "lobster" and one or more of the words in the phrase "rock and roll" is going to automatically pigeonhole you as 1979 B-52s dorkwad. so any figurative application of these terms is asking for the response of "[riff from rock lobster.]"

it tastes like champagne, which means it is the worst tasting white you'll ever drink, unless you get some of that chardonnay that is basically liquid tree bark. but it does serve as a reminder that all sparkling wines basically have to be cooler than being cool to be drinkable.

A quick pickle requires nothing more than whatever it is you want to pickle, some vinegar, some water, and optional (but strongly recommended) seasonings. The results will keep in the fridge for a week or more, as opposed to indefinitely as with super-sterile pickle.

I will post my favorite pickling concoction as soon as I can locate it! Is easy, for realz.

― Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 17:56 (nineteen years ago)

OK here it is:

stuff you wanna pickle (e.g., a cucumber, a carrot, an onion, some string beans, some mushrooms)

2/3 cup vinegar (whatever sort you have lying about)

1/4 cup sugar

1/8 teaspoon cayenne

Thinly slice the stuff unless it is something like a string bean. Put in bowl.

In a small saucepan heat vinegar, sugar, and cayenne over medium heat, until sugar is dissolved. Let it cool down, then pour over the veg.

There you go--quick pickle.

Her hair looks pretty much the same but with blondish amber streaks here and there. It looks good, I think. She told her guy to do whatever he wanted w/her hair and that's what she got.

major x-post.

Someone I work for in another office complained about some documents I got for him a few weeks ago from a library. They're almost ten years old and were obtained via microfiche. You can't get these docs in a book. You can read all of the document itself. None of the words are blurry but the edges of the doc are pixellated and fuzzy. He wants new clean copies. I'm thinking about cutting out the fuzzy pixelated parts, leaving the text there and re-photocopying the docs myself instead of sending someone (AGAIN) to a library in hopes of a cleaner copy, and wasting lots of time and $$$$. Sound good and sinister?

Some of the best beers are hard water beers, It's the hoppiness I go for, a proper export Pale Ale level of hopping. By Sam LArger are we talking Sam Adams or something else. It has it's place but it doesn't cut through a hot day like SNPA.

― Ed (dali), Friday, 28 July 2006 14:33 (nineteen years ago)

Hey FAKE ACCENT, what's your set time at Fort Reno next Thursday?

Hm, it's a little unclear. Originally we were scheduled to go after G. James, which seemed like a bad idea in that they are significantly more of a draw than we are. So we asked A. McK. to switch around the set times so we were first, she did, and now inexplicably they seem to have switched back again. We're on first or second, before or after GJ, I don't know which and it don't matter to me anymore. Hard Tomorrows are definitely last. So sometime between 7:15 and 8:15, I'd say.

Sam Adams seems a good deal better than Bud or coors, which are often the other choices, particularly in chain restaurants and Airports. It's pretty decent despite it's ubiquity.

Hard water isn't bad water it's just hard water, good for porter's stouts and pale ales, not so good for bitters and milds.

Lambic rocks but Sour beer should have sour fruit in it not sweet. Sour Cherry Lambics are the absolute best hot weather beers ever.

In the case of California-based breweries, we are not simply talking "hard water," though.

Sour cherry is probably better than the sweet cherry taste in the Lindemann's cherry :(

Sam Adams seasonal and micros = completely different beers than the ubiquitous lager.

The idea of drinking Miller is something that seems to only appeal to lobbyists and frat boys and lawyers so I am waiting for Andy to turn to the dark side.

dudes, I'd do d'Brickashawskeller and go drink some Lance Bass-y lambics and shit, but questions!: is it smoking area even during regular day, or is it "bar only" cos that might cause me a FIT.

― hot car fuckin' fuckfest (teenagequiet), Friday, 28 July 2006 18:13 (nineteen years ago)

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM um well no one else is contributing anymore so I'm not sure what to say. I'm figuring happy hour would be better for everyone because we can all just travel up from d'town and not have to kill time between work + couple drinks???

― Allyzay knows where the interfacing goes. (allyzay), Friday, 28 July 2006 18:16 (nineteen years ago)

― hot car fuckin' fuckfest (teenagequiet), Friday, 28 July 2006 18:20 (nineteen years ago)

yes, I commit the unforgivable sin of getting out of work at a normal hour. I'm actually really busy today and just reloading this page in between shit so it's unlikely I'll sneak out early :\

You could always go early and save me a seat :D

dude I would be dedicated to the idea of helping you out on your testing. Not even cos I feel like drinking a lot, but because I find SA bottles inexplicably delightful in their artwork.

Yeah, he kind of left a little later than he so claimed, didnt he? At least this and that Crooked Beat thing means I won't be behind everyone when I get out of work at my reasonable, normal time to leave and go change out of work clothes.

Mr. Q, are you thinking of coming along at 6pm?

Dremo's, BTW, has it on tap.

oooh the vodka sounds good.

― Allyzay knows where the interfacing goes. (allyzay), Friday, 28 July 2006 20:41 (nineteen years ago)

I brought a collection of weird vodkas from poland when I was there. Most are probably available in London now. We are the biggest polish city in the world now, or some such. The rowan berries give a lovely colour and flavour to it.

― Ed (dali), Friday, 28 July 2006 20:45 (nineteen years ago)

What's a rowan berry taste like? Is it a tart sort of cranberry thing?

oh shit, new FDA centennial anthem dudes:

One century past, a peopleâ€™s hope fulfilled
By an act conceived for safe medicine and food
Protecting rights that our founding fathers willed
To life and liberty, to happiness pursued.

We honor those who carried on before
Oâ€™er these hundred years, public safety to secure
For food, vaccines, drugs, devices, blood and more
They strove to see these goods effective, safe, and pure.

In field and lab, in workplace far and near
From both civilian and commissioned corps
A call goes forth in this centennial year

OK working at the Jiffy Lube in this heat would, in fact, be more unbearable than this job.

― Mr. Que (Mr.Que), Monday, 31 July 2006 18:41 (nineteen years ago)

Thanks Ally! I only have two basil plants and they are acting kind of retarded, as is my jalapeno. My serrano is fine, but just like last year the fucking jalapeno doesn't want to do anything useful like a make a damn pepper.

I have not checked on my plots in like two weeks, so I'm sure they look like utter shit.

― quincie (quincie), Monday, 31 July 2006 18:49 (nineteen years ago)

Dude seriously, take some basil off me whenever. The lemon and thai basils are in the middle bed, with a bunch of random herbs, and the regular basil is all by the lettuces. One of my parsleys stopped doing so great cos of the rains, hopefully the heatwave etc don't bake everything I just planted.

Also your wall plot looks basically fine! Mine is having weed problems for sure :(

― Allyzay knows where the interfacing goes. (allyzay), Monday, 31 July 2006 18:52 (nineteen years ago)

Oh dear god the weeds! I've been driving around with two ginormous bags of mulch in the trunk, but owing to back issues + vacation did not get it down in time to prevent major, major weedage!

yah it should be cool! i'm not trying to get too psyched up because i'm sure it's going to rain or i'll lose a limb on weds. or something like that. also i've just been too busy - roommate's movin in tonight, another fuckin hearing tomorrow morning (confirmation hearing for the acting commissioner, he should have an interesting time trying to explain why they STILL haven't moved on Plan B), really spazzed workwise. but it'll be fun, i think we're all resolved that it's going to kick ass.

Plus I can't wait to hear the new song "Sugartits."

Although maybe Sugartits isn't a new Fake Accents song but an unreleased b-side to an obscure Unrest single, i.e. "Hydroplane b/w Sugartits"

― Allyzay knows where the interfacing goes. (allyzay), Monday, 31 July 2006 20:04 (nineteen years ago)

Well I had brought in nuts (pecans and pistachios) to feed group and also a little jug of Adirondack maple syrup for boss, who was eating nuts when I took it to him, so he was all "real syrup--thanks!" and I was all "yes you can pour it on your nuts!"

― quincie (quincie), Monday, 31 July 2006 20:07 (nineteen years ago)

It gave me painful reminders of the time I met with a crepey prof in his office about something or other and he said "blah blah blah. . . as long as you are flexible" and I was all flustered and sputtered out "oh yes, I can put my legs behind my head!" and then realized he was refering to scheduling.
