Komban wa!
While still parsing YinYang's and Penguin's posts, to which I said I would return / reply, I'm going to post this long-ass thing, as part of my new after-work habit.
Quote:I am, to date, incapable of comforting the dying. "Take orders" is... touchy, and I'm still working on "cooperate."

Quote:All right. So both you and Magda owe me cookies. These are things I do not forget.
If you read all of this, well, then you get a cookie. Chocolate chip. With pecans.
Quote:Excellent.

Seriously.
Now.
Attack him, my minions...!
Quote:There are so, so many flaws with your equations. Starting with, girl: While I admit to perhaps, on occassion, taking your time, I will not take your money. Therefore, you set your equation to being multiplied by 0, nullifying everything else. Perhaps you need an if/then statement of some sort to specify, exactly, which girl-brand is being submitted to the proof. Also, it's the LOVE of money that is the root of all evil, not money itself. That's an oft misquoted saying.

I like the a = b "proof", have seen it somewhere before. It reminds me of the following (and I'll probably get in trouble with someone for this).
Quote:No, no. I understand. It's okay. Luddite.

I am not anti-technology. {carefully edited by HK through the beauty of technology} That's it. My two credits. Just the cell phone issue.
Quote:Not sure why it would be a problem. It used to be absolutely scandalous for a lady to wear a skirt so short that her ankles were showing. *gasp!* Discussing private things in public kind of tells me that we're no longer embarrassed / ashamed of these things. I'm not sure why it would be beneficial to be embarrassed / ashamed of personal things. Societal rules on what is embarrassing or shameful are continually in flux. The only unfortunate aspect to this is when it becomes acceptable - or there is no more sense of shame - when Someone A subjects another Person B to something to which B did not want to be subjected, yet Someone A feels no shame for their actions. That's where embarrassment / shame should come in, placed squarely on Someone A. (Yeesh, did that make any sense?)

Quote:... heh... heh heh... hee hee hee... BWA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! *snerk* Sorry. Didn't mean to laugh, but couldn't help it. Many's a folk who'd strongly disagree with that statement.

Hello everyone!
I would just like to say that I have no clue what is going on. I see math problems and Popeye. Whoa. Talk about out of the loop. I'm at work and just wanted to say hi.
HK- is there confirmation on the Done The Impossible Thing?

If'n you want them I need to know where to send them. If you want, it can wait until D*C, as I will have a plethora of them with me.
Ponderables, I may not be around a lot tomorrow due to changing projects at work. If that's the case, I will talk to you shiny folk this weekend.
