Since he just got back from travel out of the country I'm a little concerned that he might make us go through another foreign language subtitle. If he starts one using whatever language they speak in England I'm going to be pretty darn upset.

Also, he could try using javascript.

As long as he stays away from foreign languages* and programming languages I'm OK with GR8.


*Except Dutch. If there's one thing I've learned from the Olympics it's that Dutch girls are hot... and tall. Boxster - Please note this and maybe you should drop Monique and pick Isa with the unpronounceable last name.
I'm old school rexx not java.
And it looks like hexadecimal is off the table
 
Both times I have been there I spend half the time not having a clue what anyone said. I ordered a beer in one pub and apparently they didn't have it, but I sure couldn't figure that out from his response.
Dad, he's speaking English.

No way our running shoes fashionista sacrifices the purdy colors of her gals running shes for men's models! Nope. I am proud to wear the CG endorsed Nimbus!

True Confessions: Back in the late '80's I was having a hell of time finding running shoes to fit. Was running in Brooks Chariots for a while and they were too wide so I tried going up 2 sizes and running in their women's model which obviously ran narrower. The colors were not too girly so no one noticed.


I'm debating ordering another half size up. And yes, it's in pretty colors so no I won't trade for men's black and whatever other poopy colors. But this is what, the fourth pair I've tried now and still getting numbness at 2-3 miles in. Starting to think the problem may not be the shoe.....
 
A Hi-Five store was just built near our house. We went there the other night and Mrs. JCyclonee was very impressed. The neighbor ladies were talking about the new store and the adjective used most to describe it was orgasmic.

My question is, "Why didn't the gals ever describe Hi-Five as being orgasmic when I was working there in high school and college?"

I too worked at the Hy-5 in high school and even was a full timer for 2 years before starting ISU. It was somewhat of a revelation to the 'adult' world of labor when - early in my employment there - about 30 minutes after closing time our produce manager jumped on the store intercom/PA and announced to all employees working at that time:

"Hey [current swing-man on duty that night] - Over my shoulders and down my back, to lick the goodies right out of my crack."

No longer was I an rural small school farm boy Sunday school attending innocent.

We were watching a game show on TV while resting up from jet lag. They had a celebrity blindfolded, and then she had to put her bare feet into a tub of something and figure out what it was. It was a tub full of "parson's noses".
What are those, you ask? Well, we chatted with our taxi driver later and asked him what they were. You know that little fatty triangular tail stub on the hind end of a plucked chicken? Yup.
 
I felt like a gold medalist at the Olympics this morning. My 49 minute time broke the 50 minute barrier on my commute to work. My previous record was 52 minutes!

Mine is 25-45 minutes, depending on traffic.

Where are you going to/from for your commute? Mine is usually 30min from Downtown area to Irving but that's only if I actually go into the office. Will be great once the construction is done, could probably do it in half.

I'm going from Savannah, TX to Frisco, TX. Highway 380 is a pain.

Tyler, TX to near Hallsville, TX. There are quite a few lights I have to pass through before I get to I-20, so that affects my time. Traffic is also pretty hit or miss. This morning the interstate was pretty clear and I didn't stop for very many lights.
 
Another pet peeve of mine. Openly hating on a city or what not. You can pretty much find bad things about everywhere.
 
I keep having to clear my throat. Bad sign. Person with mono was hacking in a meeting across from me yesterday. No, I didn't kiss them or anything. So they couldn't have given me mono, right?
