Yep, that's my university alright.In his defense, that was probably way more interesting than anything anyone else did in Syracuse that night.
Point taken.

In other news, my genealogically-inclined family has dug up some more dirt on some of our relatives. I got this e-mail message today:
Your grandfather got to thinking about your comment about Typhoid Mary Mallon. It occurred to him that there is at least one more infamous Mallon – a Kevin Mallon – who took part in the first successful helicopter prison break over in Ireland several years ago. Makes my heart swell with pride!
I had to dig further, and found the following information:
In 1971, IRA operatives Kevin Mallon and J.B. O'Hagan, as well as IRA Chief of Staff Seamus Twomey were incarcerated at Mountjoy Prison under suspicion of terrorism. Two years later, a group of IRA operatives (accompanied by an unknown man, possibly an American CIA agent) stole a helicopter and broke them out. After the breakout from Mountjoy, Kevin Mallon was arrested, imprisoned, and escaped at least two more times from two different prisons. A band called The Wolfe Tones wrote a song about the incident in 1973.
So, along with mad scientists, mobsters, mythical demon-blooded giants, prehistoric Irish cave-dwellers, rebels, and passive disease carriers, my lineage now includes terrorists. Positively Lovecraftian, that.
My grandaddy's cousin survived Iwo Jima.
He was there looking at those iconic marines hoisting the U.S. flag.
Happiness is stumbling into a brunette you haven't visited before. Afterwards, she hooks you up at the bakery she owns as a thank-you.FIFY.
Doubly fixed.

Grr. Studying math. My hatred of math has only increased over the years.

Trouble finding them all tonight. We really need to keep a running total somewhere and a list of all the threads. If this one is not the longest, it soon will be.Taig posted a list of all of the threads somewhere in this thread. I'm still at work so I can't search for it.
As am I...I hate having to work on my night off.

New look huh?
That's the 3rd(?) you've had since I started posting.
Yer messin' with my head man! ;)

Cool new avatar. Lucky me, I get to go home now. I'll tell you what I tell my night shift supervisors. "Have a quiet night."

It was perfect. I was ready for a change. Of course I really liked the one from Callous Jack.

Today was an Ok day. Had Popeyes. Visited my comic book store. Webcammed with my brother's family (with my parental units visiting). Got to have fun with Charlie!
Nice new avatar image CJ.
Tomorrow might suck. The wife is leaving for a week, so it'll be me and Charlie. He hasn't really been eating well since getting sick. I'm hoping we can change that tomorrow. I'm also gonna have to switch him over to formula, since we don't have enough of a boob juice supply for him.
That is a REALLY nice look, CJ. I'm tempted to see what's there for me...but I don't think there's a bottle of Haterade(tm), giant robot, or even more nekkid woman with a sword there.
Or a naked woman with a sword having vanquished a giant robot while drinking Haterade(tm)???????????Someone tell the frog.
Wow. That would be pretty damn cool.
I think I'll go with The Stuff for tonight's 80's horror flick.
Never heard of that one.
Neither had I before tonight. It looks pretty cheesy, with a killer bacteria/ice cream conspiracy and all, but I'm in the mood for cheese tonight.I think I'll go with The Stuff for tonight's 80's horror flick.Never heard of that one.
LOL! Sounds like something right out of Gamma World.

About what I thought too, now it seems that it takes over your mind and turns you into a killer! LOL

damn I liked the first idea. Hijinx! D20 mini game comes to mind. Could easily be a scenario for the trials and travails of a newly formed group of scoobies!
Dang, Crimson Jester got a new avvy...real vicious like.
