I leave you guys alone for a couple of years, and you burn down the bar, what, three times? Jesus, can't I count on you people?

Wow. Paranoid much? Law enforcement personnel should be able to enjoy and appreciate the art, too. It's how we get them. Eventually, many of them become ONE OF US. Also, if you're not comfortable being photographed, don't climb the fucking art, you goddamned hippie. Unless a person is the subject of...

I haven't unpacked a fucking thing but my electronics and my toothbrush. My laundry is probably ripe in that garbage bag.

TPBM should really get that looked at.

Cat's Cradle , By Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Aloud. Into a microphone. For you. There's one mistake I need to edit out of Ch. 36 still, but I might get to it before you do. Each block is ~30 min and typically around 10 chapters. I posted this on an email list and invited people to forward it. Consequently, ...

Isn't "Unbridled Snark" the topic of every forum? Or have you people gotten soft in my absence?

This place looks familiar. What's on tap these days?

Okay, but who did the proofreading? (Nineteen hundred and ninty-eight?)

I think some detail might be useful.
I know what the idea means to me.
There was a time that the only control I had in my life was doing things for other people.

One word: Springbar.

I'm gonna have to go with Tropic of Capricorn. I read it at about that age and it changed my life.

Thanks, Fishy, you pretty much nailed it on the head. Harvey Danger, What You Live By Meet me up on 99 Beneath the Marco Polo sign I'll be the one with a box of wine And the hundred-dollar car. We'll talk about the lives we've led; count the reason's we're not dead (or maybe we can talk instead abou...

Sometimes the lyrics from a song you like (or don't like) will strike a chord with you and you just want to share them. Normally, you find some flimsy pretext to work them into an Eplaya thread or post them, apropos of nothing, as your Facebook status. Well, stop that. Post them here instead. Thread...

They kind of returned to their roots with this album; it's much less polished-sounding than Little By Little, but with their trademark snarky/maud...

wow 100% for Ron Paul...maybe there's hope? But Mit the Mormon will get it I'm sure. When will people begin to realize that republicans are the spawn of Satan? Democrats the jello of the soul? There is absolutely no chance Mitt Romney will get the GOP nomination. The right are even more afraid of M...

I use "bugger" a lot. I actually use "fuck" relatively sparingly so that it retains its power when I do. I like "damn and blast," "Jesus Christ on a Pogo Stick!," "curses" and "excrement" as interjections of displeasure. For cursing at someone, I enjoy "I defecate on the grave of your whoring mother...

Actually, AntiM had her name removed from the rolls, so she's actually not a Mormon anymore.

Me, I'm hoping to get excommunicated someday. So go ahead and put me on your list until I can manage to do something noteworthy enough to warrant the honor of being kicked out.

Advocating electric cars because you oppose fossil fuel use is a bit dense, since 80 percent of our power comes from coal. Make it electric cars and nuclear power, and you may be on to something.

Are we playing "Guess the Eplayan"?

Yes, we are!

Go for it.

I have a shrewd guess.

I think you're giving the human brain far too little credit. The amount of information it's capable of processing is monumental; as is its ability to make decisions about what information is important and filter the rest from your conscious thought process. Sure, we get a little overloaded right now...

And I didn't want to shit on the RIP thread to say this [note how this sentence begins with a conjunction? Not so anal after all, am I?], but the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Personally I'm a little bit on proscriptive side, grammatically speaking. Most of the rules we have are there in order to promote clarity and dispel ambiguity. For instance, the double negative rule. "I treated him not unkindly" does not mean "I treated him very unkindly," nor does it mean "I treate...

The one that irks me which has not yet been mentioned: login (noun) vs log in (verb phrase).

Seems like the only place I go is work these days, and your house isn't on the way.

Espresso Latte Swirl cupcakes. Made these this morning.

No, my sister and I made the turkey ones. The one in the foreground (the best one) was one of the ones I made. Cookie monster was all me. More this morning. I'll post them presently.

I really enjoyed it, Fishie. It was kind of an indictment of the arbitrary concept of national boundaries. He manages to be subtle and ham-fisted about arguing for global government at the same time. It took me a while to understand what was going on, exactly, but I really like how the concept unfo...
