You're not quite sure what transgendered means, are you?

Seems like an awful lot of media for them, more than I would have thought.

I assume that everyone "woman" who has ever turned me down was one...it's the most logical reason. So...a billion perhaps?

You can't assume something like that based on the experiences of one man.

That said they turned me down as well, so you are certainly right.

Actually I looked up the definition on line.

Basically I think it means everyone who is not a "normal" heterosexual. At least by the media.

My reply was actually directed at JeffV.

That's okay then. I've always wondered about him too.

His wife is from the Philippines, not Thailand.

No it was just cold water shrinkage.

Has anyone heard anything about Rob Ford lately?

I've only heard that he died today.

It's Tights Tuesday!

And, I'm dressed like Robin Hood.

That's a fortunate coincidence.

If this is Tuesday then this must be Belgium.

From an actual presentation I was emailed today:



Professional.

There is a special place in hell for people that do not paint ceilings "ceiling white".

The same ones who spray on the "popcorn" ceilings.

Yes, it's often referred to as "New Jersey".

#TheInternetNamesAnimals had me literally laughing until I cried tonight.

Danger noodle or sea flap-flap?

Pantless Thunder-Goose really got me.

Alright! Two tornadoes by us. One on each side about 5 miles away.

Bummer. A tornado hit us and I was killed.

Satellites are closer.

A North Carolina man found himself in handcuffs on Tuesday for failing to return a VHS of a Tom Green movie he rented back in 2002.

James Meyers, of Concord, was pulled over on Tuesday for a broken taillight and when the police officer who stopped him ran his license he informed Meyers there was a warrant out for his arrest, local station WSOC TV reported.

“The officer said, 'I don’t know how to tell you this but there’s a warrant out for your arrest from 2002. Apparently you rented the movie "Freddy Got Fingered" and never returned it.' I thought he was joking,” Meyers told the news station.

1) The internet has the collective intellect of a 15 year old boy.
2) Crafty McGarbageweasel made me laugh until it hurt.

Congratulations to Eli 14.7(yes, 14.7!!!). I still remember Bill posting at GG when Eli was but a point release.

Theres a special place in heaven for them.

i have a coworker who attempts to make jokes/puns/quips/references/etc. 95% of the time, they are bad. not in a 'groan at bad pun' bad, it's a 'pathetic/lame' bad. a 'i feel sorry for you that you even felt the need to say that' bad. -10% funny, sometimes used as a way to try to one-up someone who actually did say something funny or notable.

as of today, i have stopped pretending that i am slightly amused by these utterings. what i found out is that he tries even harder to evoke a reaction. you have to steadfastly ignore what he says until he finally shuffles off.

examples?

I was just reading where Superman's Krypton was 50 light years from earth. So how does the earth end up with so much kryptonite?
Even if the pieces flew close to the speed of light it would take over 50 years to get here. Chances are it flew nowhere near than fast and took hundreds of years to get here.
And was the blast of Krypton's last moments directed at earth? Teeny bits would have spread out in every direction. The odds of the debris coming near earth must be astronomical.
And how did the people of Krypton live on their planet if it was deadly to everyone?
If and when we go to other planets will pieces of earth be deadly to us?
And the periodic tables list krypton as a gas so are they going to rename it to something else now that everyone thinks it's from another planet?

Because it was created when the planet exploded.

It also depends on the source. There are various explanations here and there:

~It isn't common at all, Superman just deals with a lot of people rich enough to have it anyway.
~It is very rare, but they (Lex, the government) are able to recreate it synthetically once they have that first sample.
~It isn't rare because Superbaby's ship drew a significant amount along with it (because Science!)
~The old standby of comic books glossing over the explanations.

There is never one of anything in the universe across time. The universe has probably created and destroyed hundreds of Kryptons. Assuming the definition of Krypton is any planet with the same geological/metalurgical makeup.

That's awesome. Good for Eli. I've gotten out of the habit of reading Bill's blog. I'll have to try to do better.

I've been reading since the alpha release days and his workout videos are nuts. I really hope he goes far both to reward his effort and so I can say I remember him when...

That being said, when I update my wife on his exploits we both feel ssooooooo old.
