9:39 PM Nov 18, 2004
This is a test!
Hey, this is new. What a cool feature!
Yeah, I thought it was pretty nifty, too. Keeme set one up, so I swiped his. :)
Woo Hoo. Live fighting!
Hey you, what are you doin?
Yeah, like put down the halflife!
Whacks Rob with Chinese food carton...
mmmmmmmmmmmm food "me next"
The zne of half life...
Think he meant NES ... do they make HL2 for Nintendo?
zen damnit
Oh and here I was talking about a zone alarm file extension. Or he sneezed.
Gumby?
dammit janet!
Flashbacks, G? I'll bet you were either Brad or the Doctor in one of those midnight dress-ups, weren't you?
Nah, RH was the 'cool' thing to do in high school for all the kids that weren't cool. Since I was cool in neither group, I have blissfully never seen the movie 8D
So, you've never seen it but you're still complaining about it? Huh. :|
One of my ex's (looong time ago) was a big toast-tosser... so while I never saw it, I was exposed to much too much...
I have since had the um, experience to see the movie on TV. I never even knew until after the phenomenon passed that there was such a thing as toast tossing.
BTW Rob, you missed celebrating the first anniversary of CD...
Eek! So I did! I was going to bake one of those fractal-shaped bundt cakes, too. Damn. Ah, well, let this small comment stand as a tribute to our first year in bidness.
Is the Turkey still frozen?
Funny you should ask. We were just looking at it and the downstairs frig seems to have kept it a little too cold...
Watch ouf for the Bumpus's dogs.
Okay, new comment. The dogs thing was a riot, but I can't keep looking at it anymore.
What are you wearing?
FTR... I don't want to hear (or read) the response either....
That question always gets a reponse...
Couldn't you just go with something like "hey, pass the salt"?
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
When will Rob Change the quote at the top o fthe page?
Spleen: African or European?
Blogger's having a nervous breakdown, or I'd have changed the quote by now...
I like a girl who knows her swallows.
Yes Rob, that's better.
I like this quote better from The The: "If the real Jesus Christ were to stand up today, he'd be guynned down cold by the CIA."
LOL. Spleen, you are dirty....
Ahh yes, Armageddon Days....
Drop your posessions, all you simple folk...
BTW, I do think that Mind Bomb is one of the most lyrically brutal albums of the 90s... definitely in my top 50 of all time.
Came to see who dropped by the old blog and liked yours so I'm blogrolling you.
Thanks, Lisa! Isn't a blogroll one of the sandwiches they make with a tortilla and, um, blogs?
Spleen -- quit flirting with my wife.....
yes, tortillas and blogs with loads of mayonaise. They're perfect for people on a low-carb diet.
I was just admiring her ornithological skills
Alright Spleen, you are off the hook.......
D, get your mind out of the gutter.......on second thought, keep it there. I will be home in half an hour!
Gherdeet!
Snowcones!
Lemon? I hope :P
Okay, for those new to Gherdeet Bedee... this is the name of some poor New York Cabbie
We liked his name so much after seeing him on CNN that we use it to replace the Marco - Polo location game thing
I thought it was some sort of spolied milk based dish.
Nope, not a stuffed sheep stomach either.
Nor is it cake.
Were all doomed!
I didn't realize I had henchmmen. Back to work you!
You clearly have angst, too.
I want henchmen! Do they do laundry?
no, but they do hang out in the belfry... wait, that's hunchback...
I'm lucky if he bathes.
I like Medal of Honor Allied Assault... who wanna play me?
Hey! I remember playing Carmen San Diego and they had Henchmen... is that who yer talking about?
Didn't you date San Diego in College?
Ahh... San Diego... where it is 80 degrees with a soft cool breeze right now... 8D on December 14th... ahh...
Mmm 80 and tectonically unstable, with a hint of smoke in the air...
Hey, that smoke is for medicinal purposes, and completely legal!
Sure, medicinal - as in you're going to need medicine.
Isn't that smoke from a bushfire? Or arson? Or a thermal inversion? Ahhh, never trust air you can't see.
Spoken like a true So Cal-ian
Wait, bushfire or brushfire? Slip-o-the-finger?
Is this more of that flaming bush nonsense?
So, all your shopping done?
Happy birthday to the founder!
I am not only done shopping, I am done wrapping gifts. This year, I am an overachiever.
Wrapped, too! DCB: OCD, LOL!
He he he... I don't get it.... (sorry, Uncle Buck moment.)
Upon re-reading, it turns out I get it after all. LOL
i've done no shopping at all. i might buy a couple of things... but i don't know. it's getting too late, isn't it.
I'm pretty sure anyone I haven't finished shopping for by now is getting an awsome assortment of pasta and McCormick spices from Dominick's.
Garlic Salt please
I'm typing impaired.
Ok kids, we are out of here for a few days. Everyone have a Merry Christmas (or whatever you celebrate).
Merry Christmas to you too! Travel safely.
Yah, good luck with that, Keeme!
Superbowl?
Christmas?
That is one mighty comfortable looking squirrel
You will spend the rest of your days looking for whatever makes noise in your home going forward... I know I do.
Just had to nuke some comments spam. Does this mean we've arrived?
Without a doubt!!!
I have not yet read the "I squeeze bunnies?" post but...I can't stop laughing at "Bite the wax tadpole" ... this is now stuck in my brain like "this is the song that never ends"
I'm here. I just been busy. More posts coming soon.
Culture Ghost is missing, but Mike Daisey's back from his self-imposed hiatus, in case you didn't notice.
Yippee! We bought a pool table today!
She'd probably prefer if you didn't comment on her balls.
I would love people to comment on my rack. There's a first time for everything!
Be careful, or you'll get felt all over your rack...
I don't mind chalk so much, it's the cue sticks that kill...
Okay, Hay, unless I missed it... What is the biggest binge drinking day?
Our climate is offically altered. A couple of days ago it was 14 inches of snow and freezing. Now it is 52 and we're having a violent thunderstorm. In January, IN CHICAGO.
Ru, I had my air conditioner on yesterday and today it's in the 40's. That's Texas for you though. We are all developing pneumonia.
I don't know what it's like up there now, but the thunderstorms have been replaced with snow. And cold. Something extremely bizarre is going on with our weather lately.
Today, there was flooding and then it is going to drop into the single digits again, just to make sure anything wet gets good and icy.
Oh, it is snowing here, approx. 1" I'm so confused. It is difficult to figure out what to wear.
In a pinch, I always refer back to Ann's outfit: one pink cowboy boot, one snow boot, chemistry goggles, and a snow hat that looks like a pineapple. Of course, she was 2 at the time, so that probably explains the strange looks I get in public.
It is like some huge evil-take over the world-guy has a big weather ray pointed at us and the batteries are low... causing some freaky weather.... Or something else.
Hey, you said you needed something to wear. There were no specifics given. I just went with my fallback outfit. You could also go with a tube top and some cutoffs.
Just don't let Rob pick his own shorts.
Yah, I have not been able to wear anything like a tube top since about 11 yrs of age. Cutoffs are okay. I definitely have chemistry goggles, snazzy ones.
I am changing my opinions on this now. I am currently at work wearing a long sleeved t-shirt under a sweater under a fleece pullover. And I am inside. WTF happened? It is colder than a well-digger's kiester...
Did the internet's watch stop or something? The comment date is in 2001, and the tracking data seems to be stuck at several days ago. Hmmm.
Truth Girl, Julius and SpaceCity are all releasing new stuff again.
Does this work?
Don't forget kids! Its coronation day!
Coronation day + this link, mmmmmm
Damn enter key! http://story.news.yahoo.com/fc?cid=34&tmpl=fc&in=World&cat=Saudi_Arabia
Can we hit two birds with one stone? Just combine the events?
HA! How appropriate, Stacey. It is also my mom's 74th b-day so I can ignore the lavish worship of the Demon George.
Haloscan commenting is having a little sit-down while it gathers its thoughts, in case you were wondering.
Wow... catching up, way behind no stuff... Ru: Biggest drinking day is Halloween, believe it or not! DCB: nice rack! Rob: stop...picking... your... shorts... eewww. And did I miss spleen's last post? :P
Thanks sunshine. Did you kids get a lot of snow up there?
Thanks H. I have been getting so many compliments lately, I may not need those implants afterall.
We have over a foot of snow and more is coming down. Aggh! Now it is blowing about and collecting against my back windows! God Bless huge snowblowers.
Nah, it has been mid 70s the past couple of weeks here. Oh, wait... you were D, not G... my bad. 8D
Yeah, we got about 6-8". Not horrible, but enough to need the snowblower. When we were out getting insulation on Sat., it was intermittantly sunny and then snowstorm. Weather this year has been so bizarre...
Well G, at least the only rumbling we get around here is the snowplow drving by. San diego is near some pretty shaky ground these days. :O
Grins and runs
K, anything before 1950 totally freaks me out.
Blogger seems a little dazed today. Perhaps it's cold medication...?
You may be interested in optruth.org, they gave a talk to Oakton CC yesterday
How'bout those Texas borders now! Is our so called government going to stick their heads in the sand on this! We should demand our federal and state governments to protect us from any foreign invasion!
First, we should demand our schools to teach us how verbs work.
No no verbs in the schools. Next you'll want condoms and lunch with vitamins.
It's 5 am, and a tentacled daemon pops up, looks around and says, "Hullo?" Welcome to Chaos Digest.
It's kinda wierd, the same thing happened to me. Must be to much Keeme style salmon.
Rob's the one who told me to use shoe polish on the fish... Please don't eat me... I am rich with sodium.
Don't take recipes or dares from Rob. Also, if he asks you if you want to see something weird, you don't.

Haloscan's overmedicated this evening. Comment at your own risk.
Are you sure it was shinola?
Are there lots of women in Iraq wearing "I voted Today " stickers on their burkas?
In fact, nothing with fur, or a beak or lots of legs (demons excluded, of course). Spring must be here, 'cause the animals are out there (or invading the house).
Don't you already have a couple of things with fur living in your house? (Rob not included, of course.)
Why am I not included? You'd think once you spot something this big and hairy around the house, you'd definitely keep it in mind, at least.
I was assuming you didn't want to get kicked out of the house. Maybe that was an incorrect assumption...
Well so far, squids have not been trying to get into the house. I won't rule it out. I suppose my domesticated fur balls and Rob can stay ;) But I draw the line at 4 legs.
I don't remember which company it was for (shame on you, marketers!), but the commercial about the mama's boy doll was pretty funny. It actually made me laugh out loud.
I actually liked the Ameriquest ads where it looks like the guy is just about to off the cat. It reminds me of the old Guardian ads about pre-judging situations.
There was another Ameriquest ad where the guy was on his cell phone telling his friend that he was getting robbed by his mortgage broker. Unfortunately, he said that while he was checking out at the 7/11. And that is when the beatings started. Pretty funny.

Did anyone notice that Daou Report got sucked up behind the Salon advertising "curtain?"
Hey gang! I was feeling really good and I have to give y'all some credit for that. I was thinking about all my bloggin over the last year (next month is a year for me) and whilst reading the addicting name thingie I was overcome with good vibrations... and just wanted y'all to know I dig youz.
And I did just take a strong narcotic and think it is kicking in. But still.. much love. Now I want some cheeto's
Hehehe, Keeme. Yah, Al Franken. He is a MN native but he says he is going to stay with his radio gig for another couple of years. Glad to hear that you are feeling good!
Yeah, no orange fingers.
So, our only connection to the world will be through satellite! Or *gasp* dial-up.
Robert! Not a very nice thing to say to a lady! Especially such a beautiful one... :D
Surprising phrase: "There is a problem with how dude ranches are showing up in the database" ( I personally took it to mean the database had become accidentally infested).
Gak! Fritos? Those are foul! You should make the switch to White Cheddar Cheezits. Little squares of white cheddar heaven...
The white cheddar thing is a nice trend all around. We're back, BTW, thanks for the MOJO.
Mojo Jojo?
You know what we do to naughty monkies...
No, naughty monkies are what their reporter, I mean gay prostitute lover calls them....
Did you know the Hitchhiker's Guide is coming out as a movie? Where have I been?
Don't panic D
D - You haven't had to wait impatiently as long as the rest of us.
I wasn't aware that I was panicking... I just happened to notice it when I was looking for the War of the Worlds trailer.
-sigh- "Don't Panic" is a cultural recognition symbol. It's okay, everything will make sense soon. (heh.)
Hey, I haven't read the book lately. And I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. Gimme a break. :p
Yes. How did you know?
She was trapped under something heavy....me.....Man than sounds dirtier than I meant it to be.....
That's why I didn't go there.
I think Friday should be called GET OUT OF JAIL DAY
Hello, Dad?...
Jail would be better than home about now.
Was, not was...
That's my nightly checklist.
Mine also includes an all personnel accounted for line item but I guess we have a similar list.
Must have been the military base last night. we're not too far away from a large one...
Blogger's acting retarded again. We'll be posting more in a bit.
After catching up on some of my Tivo'd Daily Shows, I have a new favorite word: Islamangelicals.
I wonder if followers of Islam are as horrified about the radicals as I am about my religion being overrun by zealots.
I am afraid of the zealots running THE COUNTRY!!!!
It is sacery how super-violent they are in the name of religious freedom.
sacery? ;)
Okay so I have ham hands, lately. I thin I have written 100 pages of stuff in the past week, so I have an excuse. I'll fix it later.
"I thin"? 8D
pot<->kettle @)
When I misspell stuff (hourly) I just say "DANG ANOTHER DEFECTIVE ALPHABET"
Hey, you guys never finished the story regarding the ADD kid in 'Rantucky' and Fiona. How did that all turn out?
I forgot to finish an ADD story? Let us all bow our heads for a moment of irony...
LOL
I believe you got sidetracked by your urinal story. (The mental images of which make me want to take my eyes out with an icepick.)
They got along great, although the ADD kid said that Fiona talks too much. Pot meet kettle... They both talked so much that I had to ask them to give me breaks every once in a while. "I need 5 minutes to think, please" This child returns for an overnight, Easter weekend.
Typos are going to happen! You can figure out what I meant to say as I have so many other things to get my panties in a bunch over. ;P
The very sad part for the ADD child is that she was neglected by a step parent and then abandoned. I don't know when her father, the only remaining parent, will be allowed to return. He is in Iraq with the Army. My family will care for her as long as she needs a home.
Here is some interesting reading...http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/invest/forbes/p112203.asp
Thanks! We're into our second year now, and no one's done yet. :)
Hey, I thought Mr. E could actually post entries on this blog. Why's he using this chatter area instead? :p
Clean? CLEAN? Damn, I gotta start being more offensive again... 8D
I call dibs on question #4
I knew I'd get razzed for that....
I keep telling him that, but he never does it...
My new pool table will be arriving sometime in the next 7 days (awaiting delivery schedule). Who wants to come down and check out my rack? ;)
How come no comments on E's stick? o.o I'm all for equal qpportunity sexism!
Well, it's cue, not a "stick," and I'm just grateful you managed to avoid bringing up his balls.
:s Are we suppose to all chip in for you to get 12? Belly up boys!
Just try not scratch in front of the ladies.
Too late.
Oh suuure... who was the one who mentioned balls first, hmm? And who was the one promoting her rack? Women are SUCH pigs 8D
That is how I ended up with her, she was promoting her rack and I was intrigued....
Did she make it in shop class?
:O I hear she wields a mean lathe, so ya better watch out E!
I want to go , but Stephen King has made it "The Creepy State"
So who the f is Pedro?
no
So you must be like a new kid or something.
I think we should vote for The G 8D
I like that I get the "idiot" comment. :) You have to watch to movie. Concurrent drinking is recommended.
Blogger's a train wreck again today, so posting is a little erratic. But then, so are some of the posters...
The asterisk next to the links indicates blogs that have updated in the last three hours. If you were curious.
Erratic poster here, checkin in. Hey, take a sec to come to my blog and write a letter to ABC for Keeme
I love that show and rarely miss it. It is so refreshing to see people doing something so nice for someone who truly deserves it. While I don't know him well, I will dash off something for you.
10 posts in one day?? Methinks Rob has no paying work today... (and the day is not yet over, either)
Nah, remember that post about drinking? We're all off the gin for the day.
Postings should now show total comments, as well as the number of new comments since the last time you read comments. We're setting a cookie to keep track of your counters, so everyone's counts should be personalized. Stick a comment in the chatter if something looks broken.
Oh, and Ru just haaaaad to comment on that... :p
I would actually side with a 48 hr gin induced sleepless binge...lest you forget that Rob + Gin = endless chatter?
You know, E, there was a time I could have left you at a truckstop with something obscene written on your forehead, and I didn't. (I don't think I did...)
And for this, D is thankful....(most days)....It is a rare occasion one is able use you as an object of jest (although I have not known you long...)
Let's have some more martinis and see what other funny stuff I come up with...
8) Man, I could crack on Rob for hours at a time! And his only comeback would be a middle digit salute...
The return translation for that Russian stuff came back, "Put fork in I eat, it makes." So, um, we're idiots, but only to Russians.
I didn't think you were going to leave him at a truckstop, but I did think there were threats of head shaving... Of course, it's hard to remember specifics through the alcoholic haze...
Although I was sober, I just remember having to nearly pull over because of the laughing and the antics at the CD player.
There is already a pretty incriminating photo below where Rob is reaching for the 'oxygen'....
Everyone has to check The Sneeze if you haven't done so lately. Steve ate something.
This is a cool feature. I've gotta check out how to set this up...
Ru- That's very
Ru- That's very "diary of
Ru- That's very "diary of regrettable
Oh my god, this thing sucks.... Ok, One more time... That is very diary of regrettable food...
Evidentally, I insulted the comments when I said they suck on my previous attempt at posting. Now, to finish my thought (and sound a little less like a rapper...) that post is very diary of regrettable food.
LOL, Now you made it angry. I agree, it is like Lileks, without the right-wingness.
Need major Mojo today. My 74-year-old mom is having surgery on her eye.
All good vibes from SD promptly sent to Ru's mum :)
My mom is okay, her surgery went well. My dad tried to have a heart attack today so if you have any other Mojo, I'd appreciate it. I'm off to the catheter lab... I'll blog when I have more news.

Discuss
My Dad's ECG this morning looed really good. He may come home Monday.
Yea, for Ru's dad. Sending you good thoughts and mojo for a continuing good recovery.
Anybody know who works for Hologic? They dropped me a note earlier today, but I deleted it before I had a chance to read it. Anyone?
I had some wierd messages that the security software deleted before they got to me. Hmm.
Tell dad he's not allowed to do that for at least 10 years or so
I woke to find that someone had set up coffee for me. Life is good.
I had an intruder in my basement yesterday... he was small, hairy, and had 4 times the allowed amount of legs. If this problem doesn't get solved soon, I may never play with my rack again...
Hey, I can handle just about anything, but spiders are much too disturbing. It is one phobia I am not interested in overcoming.
:P I think Edison might be willing to take over exclusive rack handling responsibilities.
Does this mean that he's going to handle my rack? Or he is now going to be showing his rack? I'm so confused...
Yah I can fly, climb, dive, suture, and endure just about anything, but not spiders.
The chatter's been through a huge saga of changing servers, seeking sponsrship , and getting punted at least once last week. Should be better shortly.
chitter
By the way, dcb's rack was very impressive . The room she keeps it in is nice, too.
Awww, stop. You're making me blush! We did have a good time; when ya coming down again?
We had a great time. Put on the "we're open" sign and we'll be there. I'd love a chance to play without the mini-us, too.
I'm thinking of having a "name the bar" contest. I want to call it the "Bucktown Bar", but E came up w/ something like the "Crusty Nipple". Any ideas?
Nothing makes you want to hit the gin like going to the "Crusty Nipple". (Feel free to make fun of him at will.)
Crusty nipple? Gah. I'll have a martini with a side of Aquaphor.
The Leaky Nipple
The Angry Areola
I tend to say things incorrectl y like if a person is named Mike Maloney, I will call him Brad Baloney or something.
I was thinking Rusty Nickel and it came out crusty nipple....
The Felt Rack
now that just rolllls off the tongue...
"The Felt Rack", now that could be a winner... :-)
Does the namer get to enact the name? 
Don't push it... (or grope it, as the case may be...) ;-)
Hey now, I was just thinking that it might be an incentive for other to start brainstorm ing names, 'tis all 
(or perhaps to let E get a wee bit more creative with his naming suggestion s)
The Rack n Balls. Sort of an English pub feel.
Scratchy Balls
Rack or Scratch
Sir, setting the "Week Reset" machine, sir!
It is May 2nd and we have a freeze warning. Wha? Apparently we go from winter directly into summer. Where's MY SPRING?
umm, freeze warning? Dunno whatcha talking 'bout Willis... it's 80 here... 
Boy, you don't know your cultural references , do ya? 
Methinks you need to be a bit more ethnically sensitive. .. I prefer pigmentall y-challeng ed, thankyouve rymuch 
or "tan-adver se"
more like pastey white (not pastry, mind you, just pastey)
pig
pottle
and I prefer "oink-enha nced" 
you just like staring at my curly tail
wasssssup?
Man, does jr start his weekend's early or what? 
I think I'm going to cut down on the big posts for awhile. Sorry... 
oh, our accident/p olice report shows that Ms. Smashintou s did not just get a ticket, she was arrested. I can't wait to show up at the court date.
Back from vacation, fighting a cold, ready to rumble.
For anyone who cares, I got the CSS fixed in the trackback windows so they're not all solid black anymore.
Blogger is, once again, freaking out. I gotta get Moveable Type set up... -sigh-
MT costs moolah, right?
I'll jus take it out of the blog slush fund that's already doing hosting, comments, etc. (I think we need a corporate sponsor... )
Hey, I can see the chatter again! This Firefox thing is good. (Thanks, Ruth) :-)
Wait... We have a slush fund? Damn, no wonder I haven't been getting paid for this... 
The problem is, it's really slush. Just melted Slurpees. Very disappoint ing.
I've been thinking of a new site design... suppose we should think about advertisin g too, huh? Dare we get readers opinions? 
Okay, readers, any serious complaints about adding some ads? C'mon, all the other blogs are doing it...
LOL, yeah no combat conditioni ng and no body part enlargemen t.
I actually was going to vote *for* body part enlargemen t. 
Man, if mine gets any bigger, I won't have any choice but to wear bell-botto ms all the time 
Or was DCB talking about enlarging her own already infamous rack? 
:z
h, and any other opinions about ads? (c'mon, there's gotta be more than one regular reader here)
I'll just use Adblock any way.
I'm entertaini ng out-of-tow ners until monday, so I likely will be incognito until then... just letting all my peeps know 
Actually, my rack is not that large, hence the need for enlargemen t ads. I need to start shopping for a provider.. .
Count yourself lucky with: eye contact, clothing fit, less fear of gravity and superior back health!
Yeah, but how will I get discounts on car repairs or free drinks at bars? 
Isn't that MR.dcb's responsibi lity?
You're all very fixated on my rack lately. (Not that I can blame you, it's fabulous) Any reason? Are the pictures circulatin g on the internets again?
ummm It's spring. And umm well you know what happens in the spring
Each spring, every young man's fancy turns to thoughts of racks, rack polishing and other rack-relat ed lore.
LOL. A simple mistake. Obviously thinking with the wrong head...
And where do you get the nerve talking about winter, anyway, hay? Why, I'll bet there are hardly any nipples at all in Southern California .
60+ miles NW of us... personally , we didn't hear/feel a thing 
Yah, here it is a different story, we tend to feel 5.0 earthquake s over 100+ miles.
That is one of my main complaints here, that we can't know if someone posted a new comment unless it is one of the last 4-6 posts...
Hey Rob, does Movable Type (or any other blog software) support a "Mosr Recent Comments" section?
Hey Rob, does Movable Type (or any other blog software) support a "Most Recent Comments" section?
Woo-ho! Now we're under tsunami alert!
Supposed to hit around 10:15PST
I have been away tending the many fires/life things. I wanted to come say hello and tell you guys I am so glad you have many things for me to read.
I can't see what I posted so I hope this is not going into some crazy limbo thingie... where the tune limbo rock is playing "Limbo Lower"!!!!
Welcome back Keeme! I have trouble doing the limbo, too, so we can be in charge of the stick.
I can do that... but I may get a piñata flashback so watch me ok?
hehehe I just got a mental picture of you going from limbo-stic k holder to madman flailing wildly at the ceiling lamp with a limbo stick...
Best sentence of the weekend: What am I supposed to do with all of these filthy bunnies? -Rob
It sounds like there is a story there, but I am not sure I want to hear it.
Hey, there you are! I can't get your site to load. Hosting fail?
I dig the squirrel pic -->. This wasn't the one living in your fireplace, was it?
So, is that a "no"?
The squirrels were on the beach in Carmel, CA. They were so tame. They climbed on us, ate and rummaged through my purse.
We have to clean up the photos. We've just discovered that our scanner is dying.
Bye kids. We are off to the wonderful northwoods of Wisconsin. We'll be back in a week. If they have wi-fi up there, I may stop by and chat a bit.
Hey, I just went to the CafePress store... mugs and pins, but no thongs?
That photo of Pixel creeps me out!
Every now and then Pixel popsw up in the random photo and tells me to kill people.
That does not sound like him... If you'd said fart/drool on people and deposit huge blobs of fur...
Hey kids. We're back. Anything good happen while we were gone?
Yeah, I heard. Very sad and tragic. I have always wondered when the other shoe would drop.
According to news sources, they are targeting Italy, GB and Denmark. They don't expect them to hit the US.
Because the G8 is in Europe, I guess I would expect them to hit there before here. But who can tell?
National Threat level just rose to orange for mass rail and transit lines
I left my snark in my other pants. This is just domestic sarcasm.
I thought snark was some new drink, and you guys weren't sharing it with me...

I don't think this conversati on belongs on the same page with the headline "Little furry butts." Just my opinion...

So we think E broke his toe. How purple does a toe have to be before you head to the ER?
Well, if it is not flopping about, and you can walk on it. I'd say tape it and see how it heals. They won't do much about it anyway unless it is loose
Sup with Haloscan? It is only allowing one comment per article.
I was having problems with it yesterday. If I posted the same time as you or Brian, my post was erased and I had to retype. Annoying.. .
Haloscan done gone all loopy. We're aware of the situation. That is all.
Hey, G, I like that with the horiz lines. I just softened them a little, so they didn't draw your eye away from the white space between articles.
Hate(!) the header. The type treatment on the "tools" looks okay, maybe a wee bit too small. Can you come up a size?
Still purple, but he can walk on it now w/o it hurting. We never did go to the ER for x-rays. He has bad luck with feet. You'd think he just got them.
Driving to Vegas for the weekend in a few hours... anyone want me to place bets on da Bears for them? 
Driving to Vegas for the weekend in a few hours... anyone want me to place bets on da Bears for them? 
Nah, but you can get me a shirt that says "Eat At the Pink Taco" if you are heading to the Hard Rock Hotel. I meant to get one when we were there.
It just needs to cover my rack. Oh, and put $10 on #17, while you're at it... 
Down here it's storming like the world's gonna end. But it was certainly hot enough yesterday. Sheesh.

Ru, I got your message at Keeme's email me and we can talk about custom made pens. Website is above.
Cool, thanks Dave!
Good site, thanks.On your site I found informatio n I've searched!
Wish us good travel mojo, we're on the road again.
D is traveling too....wis h her happy trails...
On the road again....
That was my willie nelson impersonat ion...

Washington DC, but I'm home now.
I asked Ru if she wanted ethics reform as a gift, but she didn't think that it would fit in my suitcase. Oh, and he was in Asia. Hard to kick him out when he's not there...
That explains all the vacations.
Perhaps he is merely searching the world for ethics.... oh wait, that'll be the next talking point by Mehlman
Hey Ruth. I sent you an email. Not sure if you've got me blocked or not.

That is really good news DCB! Cograts! Happy Thanksgivi ng!
Happy to have NOT participat ed in the mythical Black Friday...
We're heading into the 50's after a pretty dusting of snow. It was perfect while were were decorating the (ahem) HOLIDAY tree.
Headin' to Target in defiance of a nutcase attempting to define Christmas in secular terms. We did not go Black Friday shopping.
Pretty much all of my shopping was done by Wed. of this week. I refuse to go into stores afterTgvg. People are just too cranky.
Happy Thanksgivi ng, guys. Hope you're enjoying the long weekend.
Thanks thehim. Hope you and theher have a great holiday, too!

Hey, we're getting new cell phones. Any phone or carrier recommenda tions?
The new Nokia like Rob's is cool. You can get them from Cingular, but it is so new that not all shops have the phone.
So you kids have Cingular? What about Verizon? I already have T-Mobile and my Crackberry from work is on that, so I know how the network is.
I guess I should say "soon-to-b e my Crackberry ..."
verizon was nice, but really 2x as costly dfor the same service as Cingular. Cingular hass updated tehir netwwork lately and I get signal, even in this house.
Verizon is fine, but pricey. Cingular offers the same coverage for less. Good CS, too. They were the only ones with the Nokia 6682
t-mobile has always had very good coverage for us, both in Chicago/N. IL as well as San Diego.
T-mobile is good, but they don't have coverage everywhere . Up in No. WI where my grandma is, I can't get a call. Actually, I can't get a call north of Madison.
Did you kids get a lot of snow up there?
Yea. Still snowing 10:00
Still snowing at 11:30 p.m.
I counted 7 inches of snow so far in the back yard
Hay, Shush. Ru & TS: we probably got about a foot overall.
E pretty much cleared the driveways and walkways for all of our neighbors last night. I think he cleared 4 houses (in addition to ours). Our neighbors must love us.
It is very pretty and quiet outside. A truck went by and the sound was really muffled.
How's Lushy McDrunkens tein today? Any hangover after last night's festivitie s?

Two days of special intensive Starbucks treatment and now I'm all better.
is this how you say "thank you" in Finnish or Swedish? Can't remember which.
In finnish "kiittää te" is "thanking all of you." Thank you is Kiitos.
Sorry, that was me. You can also say Kiitos Paljon (Thanks a lot) or paljon kiitoksia (Lots of thanks) It is a very complicate d language.
Thanks! My Prof. tonight is Finnish and our last slide says thank you in Finnish. I wanted to make sure it's not a swear word. I would love to hear HOW to say it.

Hope the classes go well!
Wow, that is a long semester. Hang in there.
bush just said "secret prisons are unacceptab le"
apparently he means only in Iraq
I'll bewt he means that they should not be secrets from him.
Maybe he hears "secret" and thinks someone is holding out on him. We are talking about the guy who wants to violate the law to spy on people.
Happy Birthday, Rob!
Yeah, Rob. Happy Birthday. You're what, 20 now? 
1 thing I don't get from Bush's last speech... he said he can do wat he wants in times of war... didn't he declare the war over like 2 years ago?
Maybe that "Mission Accomplish ed" banner meant something else.
Bye, kids. We're off to the northwoods for a week. Everyone have a great holiday!

Yesterday I learned that snowboardi ng is not as easy as it looks on tv. We are both very sore, but thankfully no bones were broken. See (some of) you in a few days!
I was kind of hoping for one of those "agony of defeat" whipeout photos...
"Whipeout" - n. A portmantea u word combining "whiteout" and "wipeout," useful in describing snow-relat ed mistakes with an acrobatic component.
I once broke a ski in a spectacula r crash (I was moving very fast). Coming down the hill the rest of the way on one ski was nearly impossible . I decided then that I would proably hate snowboardi ng.
Well, we don't think anything was broken, but E has two very lovely blue fingers, so our assumption s could be wrong. As for spactacula r wipeout photos, we didn't have enough ability to take pics and stay standing. Sorry!
Oh, and when people tell you snowboardi ng is harder than skiing, believe them. Learning to ski was no where near as hard as learning to snowboard.
If he can move his fingers and they are not really painful, just tape tem together and let them heal.
Happy New Year everyone!
Jan. 2 in Chicago - we're having a thundersto rm. Climatic change a myth? Uh huh, sure.
It was near 50 by us yesteray. I thought that Jan 2 was always below zero. Obviously not anymore.
sometime we dont know to fire it our the way God wants us to be, but instead if we pray, He hear us and set all the things right.. we should make the best to our family and friends and to our some we love.. i love LOVE so much.. thanks.. Peace God bless..rem i

Oh, that's what he was doing...
I like how Justin and Mark seem to be ignoring Tina hanging off of his butt. Like it happens a lot.

Hey, I thought you were going to change the header to "1,2,3... Punjabi!"?
Fair enough.
Did a bit of conditiona l CSS hacking, the page should look right again for IE6 users.
Have you been listening to our conversati ons again?
does that photo thingie ever change? Kind lame seeing the same big one each time...
I need to mess with it. Buzznet's coding is community- based, so they take forever to update stuff.
for those that saw it, sorry about the that Chip Kidd post... meant for a different blog...
Yah, you better keep the heavy duty graphic arts stuff off budddy, Kids might read it. 
You mean all those things I posted weren't here??? Crap!!!

renders fine here on Safari, but 2 thoughts: Too big, and too many
Not sure what youmean by too big. Too many, though, I'm thinking I agree. I think the Media Matters one might not add enough value to bother with.
Looks a little too busy.
Better
too big as in typesize.. . secondary elements should be noticable smaller, like the chatter size (the LINKS section should be smaller too BTW)
oh, and I won't be offended if my Flickr pics get bumped down 
Hi kids. Heading out to Cali tomorrow. Send me good travel mojo. 
Have a good trip!
Do you want to come up to San Jose and say hi? I'll be here until Thursday.. .
I need good breathing Mojo. I'd like my lungs back by Friday, if possible.
Sure, it's on the way. Be ready by noon.
RU, did you get that flu that is going around? I hope you are feeling better!
Asthma/pne umonia. Out of nowhere, really. Fi got it too. We had flu shots.
Flu tests all negative (odd strains, too). Some bizarre fast-actin g cold
There is definitely something going around, and depending on your luck, you either get the bad virus or the worse virus. Hope you guys are doing better soon!
We're improving but yikes! We scared Rob.
I just found out the Professor had an emergency appendecto my last week! Yeesh, get better everybody. ..
Feel better, Professor!

My Safari's been OK. Been testing in Firefox, IE6 and Safari, all seem to be working.
i think it might be someting with the blogwire feed... I'll keep an eye on it.
harrrrrrrr rrruuaagh!

While the quote above is good, I still like "Astroglid e, it's lubricant for your spaceship. "
Hay, I took the Flickr thing offline for a bit. Their server is running so slowly our pageloads were sneaking into the 2 minute range.
Are you sure it was flickr tho? I've always gotten hang-ups before that, and it seemed to be more from blogrollin g (and blog wire seems hiccuppy too)
It was flickr on Friday. It was the URL loading at the bottom. Every web site has their bad days. It is probably okay now.
I agree Blogrollin g's been flaky. It's been too convenient to kill, though.

Man, did Ru already buy you a new rack? Ah, happy b-day anyway then...
No, better...a nd it surely involves touching.

Rob, you need to go through and clean up blogroll.. . some haven't been updated in months, some have new URLs
Which ones did you spot that need cleaning? Give me a head start.
Bloggerman n (one post in what 3 months?), Firedoglak e, CapitolBuz z (which weirdly always has an *),
maybe weed out some that you haven't looked at in months, maybe add some that aren't so partisan?
And that Haggis Ain't Cake one... I mean, who really likes haggis anyway?

I did some style sheet fixes, and "blockquot e" is working properly in the comments now.
G, got your letter out, finally. Couldn't find it, had to recover it from an old backup.
Rob, you know why the comments # resets to zero on all the posts in the archives after 3 weeks? Nothing is there after 3/15
Imean, the comments are still there, but it looks like there are none...
Well, there's a calculatio n that happens on the fly when you load the page, so doing them for more than a few weeks of data per pageload would probably break the server. I assume the host sets some kind of cutoff point.

I wrote on 4/11 that gas is about $2.85 here in SD. Two days later, most stations have jumped to about $2.99. 
It jumped a dime here overnight. We're now at $2.79/gal. Not far behind you. Closer to the Stevenson, it's more like $2.89.

I paid over $30 to fill my tank. About 6 months ago, it was $10 cheaper to fill it. At least I'm getting over 30 miles to the gallon.
At what price will people start rioting in the streets? It ranges between $2.89-$3.0 9/gal here, depending on where you go.

Sunshine and warm weather! Safe trip again!
but, now she's gone
But now I'm back again! It's hot in Orlando today.

Heading home. I'll try to post this weekend.
"nuke" is such a strong word. that's what i do to my lunch at work. the blog is just hiding for a while.
I would LOVE to! I'd have to come up with something especially awesome... the bra is set pretty high around here...
holy crap i said "bra"
Okay, cool! Email me your contact info at rob(at)cha osdigest(d ot)com and I'll get you plugged into the roster so you can post directly! Yay! How cool is that!?
YAY!
You poor man. Go, loosen your bra and put your feet up for a few days.
I say we make her get five of her friends to start commenting , and they get 5 more each, and so on... and soon we'll have, like, a dozen readers!
Looks like I'll have to hire some friends then. Money's tight right now, but I'll see what I can do.

you know, it is embarrasin g to have my comment about wearing my bras still up on chatter... people should comment here more to push it down!
Yeah I think that's why people aren't commenting , they're enjoying that too much. Or maybe it's just me.

"Art is intent. All else is either marketing or criticism. "
You could argue that the photograph er took the pic with the intent exploit the child's unique position. (nice face, btw)
Allright, perhaps in this one photo. What about the other accidents?
You are arguing for serendipit y then? Is there such a thing as *true* serenditpi ty?
Sure. Quite a number of my best photos have been an accident. Serendipit y is also involved whem the observer happens to be at a place at the right time to record it.
But there is always *some* conscious decision being made at some point, so *true* seredipity can never really happen (or, at least, never recorded)
Acting on accidental circumstan ces makes them no longer an accident?
Hey there, found a link to your site from nutang.com . Wanted to let you know I really like your site.
Bye guys! We're outta here. I'll try to check in every once in a while to let you know how things are going. We'll take lots of pics and bring back gifts!
Adelaide is great. It's a beautiful city but cold here! I'll post pictures soon! Hope you're all doing well!
You picked the right week to be gone...hea t index may reach 114 F.
heat wave just broke here in SD... lasted almost 3 weeks. 
Of course, heat wave meant that we turned on the AC four whole times in those 3 weeks
(we only turned it on twice all of last year)
It's not that hot down here. Yesterday' s high wasin the 50s. It is nice to be away from all the heat.
Today, the heat index was 118 and inside a closed car was 160 F. Looks like we'll get some relief tomorrow evening in the form of severe thundersto rms.
Not often you look forward to severe thundersto rms, eh? 
Wow. You guys keep cool up there. Heading to Sydney tomorrow.
leaving tonight for a wedding in Rochester. Then I leave Thurs for Denver (annual baseball trip), so not much from me for a couple of weeks.
