Joe Naylor was in Totem whining about Scout socks when Mike Kramer stated the following:

Mike: You’re probably looking for sympathy from me; you will find none here.   But I will tell you where you can.  It’s in the dictionary, between “shit” and “syphilis”.

Well played Mr. Kramer, well played.

Joe Naylor brought up the idea of using inflatable sumo suits at camp as an activity.  They’re a mere 3G’s for the suits and the safety mat.  Gha.

I sent a missive to Tom Leitz, Nick Grammiccioni and Joe Naylor yesterday regarding using PDFs on the OSR site.  I hate the utter and total flatness of PDFs and how annoying it is to make them every time a minute change is made but no matter.  The email was bounced back from Tom who uses a bsamail.org account and the reply said that the message contained “potentially offensive language”.  I checked through the message and realized I’d used the word “bitch”.  As a test, I sent Tom another message consisting simply of “Carol Moyer is a bitch”, which he got.  So either bitch isn’t offensive or the mail system knows Carol Moyer.

Cat is fine.  Wound is scabbing over nicely and he’s lazy and cranky again.  And yes, Joe, should my cat ever die (which seems pretty unlikely at this point considering how long he’ s already lived) you may mock his passing incessantly.  Should I feel insulted, I will do the manly thing and re-direct all my incoming voicemail to the program director’s mailbox.

Every Thursday in geology merit badge, Matt Grob would make the kids watch the Futurama Episode where Planet Express finds Fry’s dog as a doggy non-fossil.

Recently, I’ve gone back through the xkcd.com comics archive and done mouse-overs to view the title parameters of images that usually have secondary jokes in them.

To tie the two together, I found this: http://xkcd.com/233/ , if you’re using FireFox mouse over the picture until text appears or right click and hit properties.  Joe, you may want to clear some space around you before you do it so no one gets hit with anything.

New Year’s Eve was spent at the Rimmer household where Joe, Kendra, Pat and myself spent most of our time avoiding Clara’s sister and her friends. One fellow was nice and looked suspiciously like David Krumholtz from Addams Family Values and was continually assaulted by his daughter that thought there was no such thing as having too many blankets. Pat made a vague attempt at introducing me to a women that “wasn’t interested in men” at the time which joined the long line of lesbians and pregnant women at which I’ve made passes.

We then moved to a 110 minute game of Taboo. Mr. Rimmer went through 13 cards in one round, mostly by ignoring the timer and counting clues he didn’t like. Genius.

Finally, during the ball drop the little clock disappeared from the screen so we all depended on inaccurate watches to guess when 2008 began. Joe won by realizing his watch was off by 23 minutes making me realize why he always missed most of each episode of MASH.
