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.

Anthony’s Birthday shindig elicited two wonderful quotes:

Tom Leitz about Matan Shavit spending his first year in the Trading post as Rob Scafidi’s assistant: ‘Matan is not there to be your predecessor.’

Bill Schilling on his dog’s ability to eat: ‘My dog downs more wood than a Chicago prostitute’

Anthony turned 21 on Friday and wanted to celebrate. We met at Applebee’s and as I arrived first I ordered a round of drinks where Tom Leitz requested that Anthony not get a girly drink so I got him a Philadelphia Black and Tan in a 23 oz. glass. Everyone arrived and I was quite relieve that when Tom said “Bill was coming” that it was Schilling and not Mischke.

Anyway, Anthony’s glass’s fluid level slowly dropped but I’m certain that this was largely due to evaporation. I accosted him about this to which he responded “I had a number of daquiri’s on my birthday and I’m still recovering”. He didn’t finish his drink so I did what any reasonable person would, I made him steal it so he could finish it at camp. He declined, so I stole it (after paying for it which I suppose makes it not stealing) and I now a curvy iced tea glass.  On the plus side, it would have been hell to try to hold his hair back as he worshiped the porcelain god.
