Before I forget, I just wanted to let you guys know....
....I love ya'll.
You only say that to eat our brains.
Gonna be a cloudy day it seems. Bummer. I like sunlight.
Trade? It's cloudy here now but supposed to clear up later.
Beautiful and warm day. Nice change after a few cooler and rainish days.
Rainy wasn't fitting word. The last few days were not rainy enough to qualify as rainy.
Hello and yes of course that's how we create English _ steal things and make stuff up (so sort of like when I am GM'ing - speaking of which; game night tonight).

Good news. Orientation was a blast today. I'll be starting my new job as a security officer in a week and a half weeks for Allied Barton.
Wahoo!
Congrats!
I wonder if Rone is part of this alliance.

Really? Where's my kiss?

"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and riffle their pockets for new vocabulary." ~ James D. Nicoll

I just received an e-mail inviting me for a job interview on Monday. I'd name it a positive beginning of the day.
*moves Monday game session on another day*
Good luck!
Off to hunt for some food.
So, part of our morning ritual is that we get to the work, walk in the building, and part at the stairwell (I work upstairs, the wife works downstairs). As we part, I usually give the wife a kiss on the cheek.
This morning, after the kiss, I start walking up the stairs and some dude I don't know says:
"Where's my kiss?"
Right there, I knew it was going to be a weird day.
Which cheek?
Me: "Wish I could listen to my MP3 player in my car. I have a cassette deck adapter for when I'm in the van, but the car's too new to have one and too old to have an MP3/USB jack."
Coworker: "Why don't you get one of those things that lets you play your MP3 player through your cigarette outlet?"
Me: "Ooh good idea, didn't know those existed."
*goes to search*
And of course the WalMart right across the street from my office doesn't carry ANY of them.

In LA they were downright terrifying. I used to see buses cross lanes of traffic, run red lights, and all sorts of other crap. Never saw one get pulled over though. I think the cops absolutely should ticket bus drivers who are dangerous.

An MP3 player can charge via your cigarette outlet, but cannot play through one, since that outlet is not connected to your speakers.

The cigarette lighter outlet is just to power it. You adjust the radio to an unused FM channel and it broadcasts to that channel.

The things I found were all FM-converter thingies. One end plugged into the cigarette outlet, the other had a headphone jack. Adjust it to a particular station and it tells the radio to play from your player instead of that frequency. I don't know how it works, really, just that it does.

Ah! Yes, I used to have one of those things. It was a bit staticky, but it worked.
I wonder what I did with that thing. My current car has an MP3 jack, so I haven't needed it...
Back with bread, pate and APPLES!

Huzzah!
I think not - there was already at least one comic that had a similar concept and one series of novels.
Or, as I like to call it: the show that Grim ripped off from!
Columbine and post office/workplace shootings changed the world. You know this.
Used to be we could joke about workplace violence. Hell, I used to joke around that I'd never come to work with a gun, that I'd go old-school and use an axe.
Can't do that antmore really. Too much of that s*+& turns real and real bad.

Best place for lunatic drivers in LA corner of Veteran and Wilshire.

To be fair, Wilshire Blvd can turn anybody into a lunatic if they are stuck on it long enough.

aroundabouts, regular bus drivers are relatively okay - its the command bus drivers, going from brooklyn into Manhattan, that at crazy. My wife's bus once almost killed a man and ended up mowing down his dogs as he was walking them because of an overshot turn. The bus driver only stopped when the people on the bus told her she hit something repeatedly.

If a cop stayed there for a whole day he could probably make 15 grand eaisly through tickets but sadly there is no where for them to pull people over there.

Bluh, I need oversensitivity to workplace violence jokes like I need a hole in the head.

Similar stuff here. I've seen them do the lane cuts and running red lights as well. But the scariest thing....
One the way home Rt 1 splits off from I-76. About 200-300 yards or so past the split, along the 76 portion is an exit. I watch a bus, on a crowded traffic day, get on the should at the split and ride it all the way to the exit. I swear it came inches from hitting cars in the actual lane. And it was moving at a pretty good clip - 30-40 mph, easy.

Ouch! Yeah,
Buses in New Orleans are supposedly driven by people who FAILED their Taxi test. And from what I've seen I believe it.They pull out into traffic without actually waiting for it to clear,... ALL the time.
Bus driver pulling out from a stop pulled out so fast he hit a guy I worked with on his motorcycle so hard he flew a good 50 feet before coming to a stop.

Kiss? Oh no, friend dragon! I've got....other ways....to show my affection.Really? Where's my kiss?Before I forget, I just wanted to let you guys know....

Does it have a Jaugar XJ220 engine in the back?
So tired. Did sleep a couple of hours last night. Had to rewrite my program this morning because it was such a mess it was better to start from scratch. Still couldn't get output. Gotta love an automatic 20 points off a 50 point assignment....and I know I'll lose more on top of that. >.<
In my defense, the compiler kept telling me that there was nothing wrong with the program. It just didn't produce output. Well, at least I turned in something I guess.
But I am getting sick of these all-nighters. :/

Huzzah for New Orleans! Boo! Hiss! for New Orlean's psychotic bus drivers!
Ohhh, I just had a splendid dinner of fried pork, potatoes and cabbage braised with apple. It was delicious. This batch of cabbage came even better than the one I made two days... Adding apple was great idea.
Lonestar Rally coming up. That will be an awesome weekend of beer, bikes and babes. B-)
not my kind of bikes, but more power to you. Take pics.
*yawn* Good night everyone.
