Hello MSB:

A damaged state is about what everybody is in after the holiday.

Milwaukee hosted the Harley Davidson 105th reunion and we were swamped with thousands of bikers all over our lakefront where the festival was held. There were probably more bikes parked along our streets then Harley makes in one year. The weather was great for it and they had top line entertainment so it was a complete success.

Harley opened a museum here in time for it. They always try to have something special for the bikers when they arrive.

Now all is quiet and it is raining. We can use the rain, although it is a little late. Very dry here this year.

Spain was good went with a friend, first holiday without the parents had a blast it was sex drugs and rock and roll. If you take out the sex and your main drug is booze.

We had a great time this weekend however is a sad event as it will be the first anniversary of my papa's dead a man I loved dearly and miss every day.

I will be in Blackpool England from friday night till sunday mid day.

Are they inflatable anti-seasick meds? Cause with the boat off balance there is the slightest possibility it may sink.

I got no beef with the water but motion sickness of all kinds is my bane. Trains, planes, automobiles, boats, even bicycles at the higher speeds. Also I get the VR sickness pretty wicked when I play them first person shooty things and Imax makes me very dizzy. It's amazing I'm ever not ill now that I think about it.

Thanks for the jacket.

I hac this speech class and we had to recite something from a book and our speach teacher had one vital rule. "No Dr. Suess!"

She said if one more student read recited from him she would fail them.

Apparently he is very popular with students. Considering we were in an collage that primarily for engineers it seems remarkable they would where our poor instructor out with Dr. Suess' verses.

Needless to say I stayed away from him and took something from the Hobbit.

if i were in that class, i would so walk up to the front of the room and preface my recitation with "so for my recitation i'm doing green eggs and ham by dr seuss" *just* to see the look on the teacher's face XD then recite like ts eliot or something to watch the scowl on her face lolz

Hello FREELANCERTEX:

Well if you ever take a speech course at Milwaukee School of Engineering you may just get her. It has been several years, so I do not remember her name. But that face will stay with for a long time.

The math teachers were much more pleasant.

Actually got instructed by the head of the math department. He would attack the chalkboard as he lectured us and always broke the chalk. Then he turn to us and say "We have cheap chalk here", and continue. He was a lot of fun.

Yea. I was surprised by this math teacher. He was the stereotypical physicist with chalk flying everywhere. Making hugh sweeps and curves as he taught us calculus. Please don't ask me anything about calculus, because I forgot everything.

One day while he was readying from the book I noticed both the elbows of his shirt were worn through. He must be single. No wife would let her husband leave the house with that shirt on.

Milwaukee School of Engineering had its share of off the wall instructors.

yeah... but

Select to view spoiler:

how could that have killed Tyler, if it didn't kill Jack? And split personalities just don't work like that. Plus the whole deal with the henchmen dragging in Martha or whatever her name was, when Jack made sure that Tyler wouldn't have known where she was going, and the cheesy explosions? uh-uh.

but you're not considering

Select to view spoiler:

How do you KNOW split personalities don't work that way, when part of what Tyler was was actually a schizophrenic hallucination? And besides, remember the whole thing about "if you know i know" and "i know this because Tyler knows this"? just cuz they're "separate" doesn't mean they dont subconsciously have a clue about whatever the other one is doing. not to mention the fact that Project Mayhem probably infiltrated every level of infrastructure from the buses to the cops. Tyler was probably having Jack followed in the event that a loose end (like Marla) came up. remember when he was talking to the police and saying "you're making a BIG mistake, fellas!" "you told us you'd say that." "I'M NOT TYLER DURDEN!" "you definitely told us you'd say that." he planned Jack's responses beforehand. who's to say if just because he *believed* that shooting himself in the head to kill tyler wouldn't make it happen? Trauma can do crazy things to a person, and i think shooting urself is a bit traumatic, especially if u survive the aftermath.
And about the explosions, well duh. the buildings were rigged to EXPLODE, so of course theyre *going* to explode. he didn't diffuse all of them, just that one. and the one he diffused tyler probably re-rigged when he took over again anyway.

yes, true, and you have a point. The explosions were a bit much- because of the low SFX. it was pitiful

. But you do have a point there, and it makes sense, so I'll let you win that one ^_^

this was a triumph.
i'm making a note here. HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate
my satisfaction.
Aperture Science.
we do what we must
because we can.
for the good of all of us,
except the ones who are dead.

but there's no sense crying
over every mistake.
you just keep on trying
till you run out of cake.
and the Science gets done,
and we make a neat gun
for the people who are
STILL ALIVE!

sorry, every time i hear or see the words 'still' and 'alive' strung together consecutively, that gorram song starts playing in my head @_@

It could be worse. Every time I see or hear the word alive I get flashbacks from the opening of ,"The Six Million Dollar Man" - "Steve Austin a man barely alive. We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better, stronger, faster."

It's been too long since I've seen it so I can't really judge if they meant it to be funny or if it just turned out that way. I'm guessing the humor was mostly of the unintentional variety.
