Yeah, but what's weird Al doing there? Woo: "Yeah, well, originally we were going to do it as a comedy, and instead of a two-way trade happening, it was going to be a three-way trade, and people would lose track of whose face was whose, and hijinks would happen, and then the lulz. We were trying to channel very Bob Hope and Bing Crosby."

I saw more idiocy today than I've seen in a while, cumulative. I saw people spinning their tires; I saw people getting out of their cars; I saw people tailgating. Heck, at one point, I pulled over to pee (it took almost four hours to get home), and when I got back on the road, there was no-one around. It was creepy, like something had happened behind me that I wasn't aware of -- zombie apocalypse or shovel-monkey invasion. I could do as fast as I like, unimpeded. I think I did like 20, 'cause I kept fishtailing (and this is in a front-wheel drive). And it was right in front of the River Road exit, inner loop, so I didn't want to take that turn too fast (I think I toggled it down to 15 for the turn). And then I caught up with everyone, and it took me another hour to get the rest of the way home. That's right, from ~your house to mine, on the beltway, it took over an hour. And we've been having on-and-off blackouts since I got home. FTMFL. Can't even watch my NetFlix DVD, for fear of the power crapping out and fucking up my Oppo and/or EarMax Pro.

Yup, I was getting that, too, if I let it slip past one page or so (I.E. if I didn't go to head-case every 12 hours or so).

I wrote a program that saves off all the texts -- it's a SQLite database, IIRC. I forget the program it was based on, but the idea was that if you lost or someone stole your iPhone, you could get it to post its location via twitter based on a URL...actually, now that I think about it, there are probably hundreds of apps that can do so, including some sort of backup program. Or there's probably a hack to get at them, something like this (except texts instead of notes), perhaps?

Schlafly 2008 Reserve Imp stout -- yup.

I actually thought it was kind of arty. Like an ad I'd see in a magazine. But I probably wouldn't have given it as careful a look if you hadn't said anything Shelly, so thanks for that. Me: Schlafly Irish-style Extra Stout -- pretty good, don't know if I'll go back for more. Also: Schlafly 2010 Reserve Imperial Stout -- I think this is as good as the 2008, will have to compare.

Castle -- Jesus Christ, intense episode.

(shudders sympathetically for Nate)

Not just the picture -- the colors, the font, the choice of words ("...disharmonic orchestra..."). I mean, c'mon! (Me: Still on Al Di Meola, haven't been able to do much listening at my desk much.)

I made a particularly good batch of Faux-rizona the other day. No chocolate milk notes but it still meets all my criteria for awesomeness.

Mmm...looks good, Shelly, and thanks for the inadvertant rec, will give it a try.

You know, you could click on the link...but then your (obviously sardonic) answer wouldn't be as funny.

We be getting some Wednesday, or so the cognoscenti say.

I would. Especially if you like beer, some of my favorite beer is from Colorado. But there's plenty of other things to like about the area, or so I'm told (never been there, myself).

I think he was referring to his healing ability. But also wanted to say that "wolvereks" is going to stick. Glad to hear it, Jacob. Good luck, Dan. Is there a reason you're looking so far south? Cooling computers is harder down there, no?

Thanks. Is it referred to as a noun, I.E. "nice tsuchime on that one"?

I actually read that last bit in William Dozier's voice. 's'awesome.

Had some Rishi Keemun earlier -- very good. Just: Duvel -- meh Immediately: Abita 16th(?) anniversary barely wine

Is there a word for that pattern (Damascus)? 'cause if so, I like it.

? Or: ?

Proof by wiki Also, there's usually a thread devoted to each individual comic -- ah, here it is.

Big Daddy Vlady's Russian Imperial Stout -- so yummy.

Sure: Splendido Hotel/Electric Rendezvous Elegant Gypsy/Casino Cielo e Terra/Soaring Through a Dream/Tirami Su The middle one is one disk, the other two are two-disk sets, hence the price differential. I used MovieMars-CDs, since (a) I've used them before and like them, and (b ) there is a slight price break on shipping, depending on the vendor.
