Off-Topic 11/21/08 Travel Edition

Clement_tiny by Sec 108 on Comment 994 comments

Today pdb heads to Ohio through Indiana to see his wife.

NOLA should be nearing the end of her journey from Louisiana to the great Northwest.

Faux has been on the road a lot lately, but I'm not sure if he is back home yet or not.

Who will be traveling for Thanksgiving next week?

A few of the Off-Topic regulars will be traveling to the Renton Highlands tonight for bowling and socializing.

Other topics:

Thank God that Scholarship Poll is over.  I hate seeing the worst in people and that showed it.  Kudos to Dave for staying above the fray and showing what a great person he is.

How the hell did my roll of toilet paper make it out of the plant with no perforation?

So Thingray was finally outed by deapseadv.  Good sleuthing Kermit.

Is the world ending soon now that Coach had a comment go green?

I'll be travelling up to Stuttgart for Thanksgiving

to spend it with an Army buddy. We’ll likely spend the rest of the weekend stumbling drunk in Munich, hooray!!

Tonight the bowling theme is The Price is Right.

Two in the Plinko, one in the stinko.

Wow...anyone around?

Or is it just that no one wants to respond to a diary posted by a noted ex-member of the Hitler Youth?
Sec 108’s first band in high-school played up-tempo versions of Horst Wessel Lied and other nazi anthems… I believe they were called PanzerFaust or something. I’m not making this up; I read about it once.

But RC only gets to drink it AFTER she drinks the elderberry tea that she needs to drink. After downing some elderberry extract. And dissolving some of these under her tongue:

(Normally I’d just suggest the individual doses of Kali B, Gelsemium and Allium cepa, but this has all of it plus a few other things — Belladonna for fever, etc…)

Near the print screen/pause/break buttons

To the right of the function keys on many keyboards.

I just pressed it a few times. Nothing. Tried scrolling; it worked fine. This button lies.
I also tried concentrating really hard on my tea mug and then pressing the ‘break’ button. I wasn’t really expecting a whole “Scanners” style explosion, but c’mon. It did fuck all.

I never had an Acorn Electron

Didn’t Acorn make the BBC Micro? Or was that some other Acorn?

Tell me you used to have that Donkey-Kong clone “Killer Gorilla” – my wife’s always talking about that, and how the name “Donkey Kong” makes no sense whatsoever and thus Killer Gorilla must have been the original game.

Absolutely!

Had both, a BBC Micro too, and the games on it were amazing.

Killa Gorilla was definitely one of them. And yes, it’s DK except I’d never heard of DK at the time.

Children's Hospital is ramping up their research departments big time.

Think my wife said something about doubling or tripling the numbers of people. They’ve purchased approx a city block downtown, more property at Magnuson, and are making a massive addition to the hospital itself. Might be worth look, they have grants in an insane number of different areas.

IT department is growing pretty rapidly, they are turning into a big Microsoft software lab.

Or is that the idea at least?

Not sure, but I'm telling myself they are different frames because that's more cool.

I just discovered I have a giant iron mark on the back of my shirt that I wore to work

I’m actually seriously considering going to the mall at lunch and buying another shirt

Last week I walked around at work for over an hour with a dryer sheet sticking out my pant leg.

I've actually had to go do that before.

Good thing there is a Sears around the corner, and the Mall is just down the road a ways. I’ve had to replace pants and a shirt before, due to food stains and stuff

We are not frugal when it comes to fun.

I’m weird that way. I hem and haw over spending $199.00 on an XBox, but don’t think twice about spending $80.00 on Seahawks ticket, or running a $100.00 bar tab on a Friday night.
