I prefer bacon over beef. And, around it, held in place with a toothpick.

I don't know if ginkgo works or not, since I keep forgetting to take it... :roll:

What do I hate about diamond lanes?

Mostly about cars with two or three people in them who clog up the non-diamond lanes when they should be in the diamond lane and not occupying space in front of me.

And what about Sunday? It's a fast lane, not a carpool lane anymore, but people avoid it like its radioactive or cursed or something.

I think I'll take BART. Oh, that's right. It doesn't run to California's second largest city yet! What's our consolation prize? Oh a trolley! Ooh, look, how cute! Disneyland's got a better fucking transit system!

I got in a fight recently at a 'Stop the Violence' rally.

Profound Scrubs episode last night. JD was reflecting how relationships can have lasted for ever, like the Cox's, some keep getting re-ignited like the Turk's, and some are just beginning, like Elliot's.

On christmas eve I heard a tap tap tapping on the roof,
so I rushed outside to see santa on the roof.
But it was just Le Chat Noir on the roof again counting shingles,
same as last year.

I installed a sound card, a router and wireless adapter about 2 mths ago. Everytime I got online randomly my computer would freeze up and hard boot was necessary. All this time I kept blaming the OS perhaps being corrupted (the register has a lot of errors now due to repeated hard booting) or the router/adapter sw. I was convinced the soundcard couldn't be the problem, it doesn't happen when I'm using sound and happens when I'm on silent websites like this one. So yesterday I got fed up with fighting with it and I uninstalled both the adapter sw and the soundcard ready to format the living SHIT out of this box. Before I did the final format *.* on it, I decided it was too fucking cold to do this hobby and leave it for the next day. I reinstalled the sw (I had done this a multitude of times over the last 2 mths) but the soundcard driver wouldn't recognize. I'm tired so I left it as is and surfed a new places just to see if it would crash. Nuthin. For hours I've been hanging out online w/o so much as a burp. The soundcard SEZ it's 2K compatable, and I've already sent an email to their tech-support chick named Lori. The card's a cheap $13 job so if I return it (and I think I will just because I can) for another I can give it another shot. Maybe drop a few more dollars to get the next step up. I don't consume music, but by golly I want to hear Strongbad emails and Sean Bedlam's rants (bitterness is good for the soul's sinuses). I have this week to keep kicking this computer to see if it will fail. The problem was random but getting significantly MORE randomly frequent. Computers are the Devil.

Update, even w/o the soundcard driver installed, it still crashed. Had me fooled. I guess it's time to burn it down, but not tonight, it's just too late to go on that emotional ride now.
I'll be in my blanket fort until further notice.

"7 years of doing the porta-potties wrong."
Robbi dearest, you might be right about that ,but all of us out here in Burner/default land really appreciate all your hard work. :mrgreen:

Thank you CSS. I hope to get a job at USS someday, which would merge my Burner/default life right nicely.

Robbi could possibly achieve the burner dream of getting paid to go to the event. (and she'd be worth every penny, too.)

When I came home from the man in 2007

When I threw my underwear on the ground, like 30 - 50 flies came out of no where and started eating my underwear big time.

Is this normal. They where a fresh pair too?
