[lostinflight]

Happy belated birthday, rappy! I hope you had a good one

[stinger97]

Happy birthday, Rappy!

What did the Buddhist say to the hot dog vendor?

"Make me one with everything."

Uh, not to call attention to my daftness but, I don't get it.

[pacejunkie]

Only a Buddhist would strive to be "one with everything" Get it?

Then you wouldn't have a shot with the cute guy that posted it.

Only a Buddhist would strive to be "one with everything"

...but pace would!

[pacejunkie]

I love those kinds of jokes. That's right up there with this one (my personal favourite):

Q: How many surrealists does it take to change a lightbulb?

A: Fish.

Get that one, Stinger?

Survey question. I honestly don't know how to answer this.

Would you consider dating someone who routinely has one-way conversations with inanimate objects?
o Yes.
o No.

Andi: I thought I heard another voice.
Sam: Uh, that was me. <holds vegetable in air> I like to give them voices. ARRGH. Zucchini.

I apologize to chairs when I hit them. Does that count?

[pacejunkie]

Does my computer count? That might rule out many of us.

Or your TV.

[cko]

OK, I"m answering "yes." Because I'd have no problem dating either pace or Blue. Or Sam. Though, now I think of it, isn't it more disturbing to have two-way conversations with inanimate objects?

Sigh. That may not be a rule-out for me, either.

That's for all you Democrats of course, it should be noted. Pending I love you and your LJ entries, but we'll just disagree on this one thing m'kay? I do like your entries though, because while they clearly have political leanings, I don't find them as vicious as some others. I'm open minded and all, but I had to drop someone from my friends list because her daily political entries were so nasty and uncalled it got to the point where it was offensive.

The first time I saw that I misread it and thought that I was the person being offensive and getting de-friended and felt awful; I tend to go a little over-board on LJ, because I forget it's a real thing and people actually read it. I'm glad that it's not me, but I'll employ those LJ cuts a little more in the future... Even the friends who agree with me don't deserve to get slapped in the face with a long political op-ed just because they're checking in. France-loving dog though, that has universal appeal.
Rejoice though! I'm putting myself on mandatory political news detox. Not dropping by here for days is just the tip of the iceberg; I've been sinking into that dark, dark place where I skip showers to free up reading time. That shouldn't start before grad school.

Oh noes! Now I feel awful. I'm glad you went back and read again. It wasn't you, I swear. I dumped that other bleeding heart commie pinko ;D. Just joshing, your posts are fine. I just read them with one eye closed.

No, I'm serious, don't feel like you have to change a thing. Cuts are fine for long posts of any content, but you never need to cut for content alone. I'm a big girl, I can take it and many of your entries are loads of fun.

Oh totally. Three cheers for the red, white and blue (dog).

Hee. Well if you feel it would benefit your sanity. But only if you must. There's still miles of muck between here and November. Pace yourself, that's an order.

As much as I've been enjoying it, I was getting a little worried. Just look away, like I am.

Anyway, we missed you around here. It's so much better for your sanity to play ABCs of Reaper and search like mad for the Shirtless Bret pic.

[pending]

MUCH better. I'm one of those people for whom the 24-hour news cycle is killer. My folks are watching the news and I hear "The McCain campaign is demanding an apology for comments that they say are..." and I'm like a rage-aholic all over again. I'm mainly just catching up! You guys are chatty.

Well we haven't been pulled into a black hole, yet.

But a very cool artist, Nagi Noda, died at 35. Check out the comments on this site, especially the napkin one.

It won't be long!

NPR ran a very sad radio doc about how we (the US) nearly built our own world-destroying particle smashy thing-a-ma-jig. I feel bad how relieved I feel that we didn't, because I don't want that kind of pressure right now.

..... a da-a-a-a-te. (Next Friday. My Morning Jacket concert.)

So the rest of you have no excuse.

[onyourmark]

Maybe not, but now we can instead live vicariously though you. I hope he or she does not turn out to be crazy. Or crazier than you're interested in, I guess.

(IS IT THE RENFAIRE ONE?)

[pacejunkie]

I have an excuse. I'm married. Good luck with it though, hope you have a great time.

[Blue Sunflower]

Our new Sam.

ETA: It's NPR! National. Don't everyone get excited at once. If you listen to NPR (right) and hear an intro to a story about college drinking, suppress your denial and listen in! You might hear me.

Ah! I totally missed this! I was busy practicing my Cordelia hair-toss.

[cko]

from xkcd, obviously. But I take credit that I had (roughly) this idea, too.

I thought about exempting you and ksm (and whoever else is in a relationship, I don't know) but decided you could go on a date with who you're with. So enjoy! And thanks for the good wishes.

I have an excuse. I have kids. ;D

But we do still try and get out sometime on our one either to the theatre or a movie. I'll dedicate my next date night to you.

Ooooo, dagzar! Dragons! "Do Not Meddle In The Affairs Of Dragons, For You Are Crunchy And Taste Good With Ketchup."

On bluesunflower's suggestion, I'm going to post a link to a webcomic I mentioned in chat. It's very much a grad-student comic, and is pretty slice-of-life... however, the author is a lit person and has an interest in the folkloric devil especially. This has been worked into the comic here and there, especially in that one character is sure that another is the devil. She is certifiable, but the longer the comic goes on, the less sure you are that she's wrong.
It's pretty good, once it gets going.
Here is a devil-y themed comic: westofbathurst.comicgenesis.com/d/20071103.html
and the first one: westofbathurst.comicgenesis.com/d/20060823.html
