You should be so lucky. I predict ME cracking your skull with a toffee hammer, and sprinkling plastic goblins all over your hippocampus like pistachios on icecream. And now I want icecream.

Same for me when I was still at boarding school. I nearly turned inside out when I went East of Suez and men were holding hands everywhere. Of course now dozens of chaps I knew have come out of the closet. It's a lot more relaxed these days, and I say more power to them. It's very sad that they missed out on what I regard as the only up side to being a teenager - falling in love and making mit der roses and der knackwurst. *blinks* Well, that was unexpectedly Freudian.

It's all in the mind.

Sent another reminder.

Legex sounds like an ointment. And not one you'd want the people at the chemists to hear you buying.

My colleague is of course referring to models of orcs, in lead. He doesn't know they never eat. Those too. But seriously, law school? Dozens of models. It was the "popular thing" at the time. Totally going in my Dr Who revamp.

Well, it isn't a certainty, but equally it isn't false. Maybe it could have been handled through 'proper' channels, but I really doubt it. All the elected officials are running around defending everything as being perfectly legal and having impeccable legal oversight and all sorts of stuff like that, not lining up to get upset at how the NSA has run roughshod over rights and limitations; and giving the moral equivalent of the "we had to destroy our freedoms to save our freedoms!" speech. On the other hand seeing John Kerry squirm when he said that only terrorists were monitored then the interviewer asking whether all the researchers in China targeted were therefore terrorists was outright hilarious. We're fencing a little here, but I could counter by suggesting that if he hadn't raised the point illegally then it would have been a hell of a lot easier for Congress men to run with the ball.

Er... life in the oceans accounts for more than 95% of the biosphere. So if you're asking if I think that a tiny proportion of a tiny proportion (humans in land life) is going to affect climate ...I think your prima facie case is weak.

As your doctor I have to advise you that your symptoms are consistent with being eaten by a giant crab. I suggest you check in a mirror. EDIT: If we are agreed the term is good, maybe we could just shorten it to 'legacy'?

Met up with a significant ex of mine yesterday. Have coined (in my head) the term 'legacy ex' to describe an ex whose qualities and features you still look for in others. She had grey in her jet black hair. I felt like a mournful old codger, just for fancying her.

Late arrival. I refuse to get married because I'm an idiot and could not possibly sustain a marriage for longer than a week.

My colleague is of course referring to models of orcs, in lead. He doesn't know they never eat.

Hang on, so we're saying we use them to indicate: - enjoyment (laughs) - gratitude (points well made) - allegiance (devs)

LOL. So much for Oby's principled stance on female clothing.

I was about to reference a book written in 1992, and then realised it's completely out of date.

Apologies for bullet points, but it's early. - Giving it to WL is not the same as Congress. Congress is an elected body. - WL in particular has a well established anti-US agenda. There are alternatives out there with the same utilities. - Zor's point about Congressmen is interesting, but false. > I say again, if they were on-side with the NSA why mislead them in the first place? > I currently think he's a ****er, but if he'd come to me (as a Congressman) I'd have been supportive. There is a right way and a wrong way to do things. You can't just act willy nilly. It's like running around whipping people's diseased organs out without formal consent.

I haven't been able to find any pics of an Ecuadorian bikini. I am most upset. Looking was fun though.

Given your credibility in these matters I am obviously taking notes. Presumably, human rationality being what it is, It would be beneficial for unusual circumstances, not just - say - inebriation to be in effect? A drunken evening pursued by an escaped elephant is better than just a drunken evening?

Present company excepted. LC.

In my experience, about 70% of the time they just want a friendly face to tell them they still look good. Remember, women are completely mental.

Touche.

Actually that was my fallback theory, LC.

There's this thing called 'teams'...

Nah, jest keep governments small, ineffectual, and weak. That way when they screw up, and they will, they always will, it won't do too much damage to society. Yeah, and then, like if anything important wants doing we can watch them flap about like wet hens. ~ I approve of the eight ball idea. Is there some way we could install the eight ball inside Vladimir Putin's shiny forehead? Then it would be both mystical and manly. EDIT: Plus, to shake it we could grab him by the lapels and jink him about.

Today I realised that the only time I've been a good employee was in the Army, and even then I was a pain in the ****ing arse. I'm polite, granted. But I simply don't take orders very seriously. LOL. Strange thing to realise while I was fixing the house. Maybe all I've ever needed wisdom wise was a big hammer and a pair of pliers.
