I was driving home when I saw what I thought was a funny sign in a bus.

The sign says “Bus has been checked for sleeping children as is empty”, I giggled to myself until a kid pointed at me in surprise, turned around, yelled and the back of the bus was rushed with kids with wide eyes wondering what the creepy guy following them was doing.

I’m not sure what the name of the next street was but I turn onto it and drove, very quickly.

For the last year or so I’ve joked that I’m a Level 2 actuary and can cast magic missile.  A joke about which I don’t think anyone has yet laughed.  What once started as a joke now may become reality with NASA starting an MMO.  Besides being quite possibly the dumbest premise for an MMO I’ve ever seen except for possibly the Shakespeare MMO I can only assume that it’ll be identical to WoW except for with fantastically more ridiculous classes like Darkwater Physicist, Mathematician of the Holy Nimbus and some sort of Materials Scientist/Druid combo that allows players to transform into carbon nanotubes.

Having trouble running rocket simulations?  Slide-rule of Prediction +5!  Challenger mishap repeat?  Resurrection bitches!  I look forward to the world’s nerdiest PvP games.

Coworker:  My son’s looking for a good sci-fi book, nothing too tricky, he’s 13.
Me: Hm…. Ender’s Game would probably be a good start, or if he likes it a little darker, Neuromancer.  What’s he reading now?
Coworker: Some fantasy crap, chipmunks with swords and shit like that.

Voting was well, dull.  Most of the slots were “Pick 8 people to be associate vizier to the regional viceroy” or whatever term the Republican Party uses as go-fors between its legates and guls and the Vorta (providing further proof that Mitt Romney is not only an ideological changling but also a Founder, how else does he keep that glow?)

Anyway, once those Hobson’s Choices were made, there were officers where no one was running.  So, in the interest of exercising the most voting I could I wrote in a number of my regular readers for various offices in the Republican party.  Mykie, I wish you good luck as “Representer for Local District 438” and hope Rob doesn’t mind being the state bursar.

From CIS 1055, Last Test:

Me: I think the test was the same as last year’s.
Instructor:  The department makes a new exam each semester, this semester you guys had to do stuff for a bowling team.
Me: The cross over was a bit rough.  If it was bowling, then why did we have to calculate the batting average for a team called the Temple Sluggers?

Um, hi. This is Drew VandenDries, ex-owner of the ipod you purchased off of ebay. I am not in any way interested in getting the ipod back or anything, but I would like to know the person that you purchased it from off of ebay if you are willing to share the information. My email addresss should be attached to this profile, and I would like to start a dialogue if possible. Thank you, Drew

Drew,  I’ve looked through ebay and it’s only letting me look back 60 days. I’m going to look through and see what I can find and contact eBay should I need to.  I’d love to hear the story of how you found me and would very much like that response as a comment.
