Either that, or there's another sale at Arby's.

Post by: slink on April 02, 2004, 07:46:11 pm: You broke my private message that I received last night. So whoever sent it me, can you resend it or something?

I'm just uber busy at the moment thus not around as much. Still keeping my eye out in the Conservatory though. I even ought to be able to while I'm at the conference this week.
Also I have to go and maybe buy a new car tomorrow. Which is nice.
I'll shut up now.

I saw the tiny writing though. So... Yea.

Post by: Bozack on April 02, 2004, 09:02:59 pm: I spent all day weeping.

You...you...BASTARDS!

Just kidding. Wow, I feel like I've settled back into a comfy couch.

Me too. I was gonna study my Japanese, and get an obedience title on my dog, and get the garden into shape, and cure cancer...

Now I guess if they offer me that job I wanted where I have to work a lot of overtime I'll just have to say no.

Ain't that rich, he wants to take rights away from gay people and give them to the fetus. Boy, some people have come up with some really funny gags this year.

Even funnier, I've started a web catalogue for straitened out coat hangers for American women.

Post by: andalucia on April 03, 2004, 07:02:18 am: Oh god how I fear for you Americans.

Though I live in Leftopia, I grew up in a rural area and got threats in the mail when I got a pro-abortion letter published in the local paper.

Things are scary.

Post by: V-Adore on April 03, 2004, 09:25:59 pm: One wonders whether Bush would legalize late-term abortions if it could be proven, Gattaca-style, that the fetus would grow up to be poor and commit some capital crime in Texas.

Best. Simpsons. Quote. EVAR.

I dunno, man, abortion is one of those issues where I feel so strangely and at odds about I don't think I've had an actual conversation about it in several years.

Post by: wombat on April 03, 2004, 11:45:06 pm: I think we should institute a weekly Most Wandering Topic award for threads.
Title: Deadsville, USA
Post by: side_show on April 04, 2004, 01:32:55 am: I like the way the thread went from the totally inoffensive discussion of there being few posts on Friday to the extremely tense topic of abortion rights. This could get ugly.

Post by: wombat on April 04, 2004, 01:45:13 am: Perhaps it's the stress of Number One and Two's April Fool's prank that has gotten people on edge.

Post by: andalucia on April 04, 2004, 09:04:14 pm: As long as we're keeping it on the level of Simpsons allusions and not actual debate, it's all cool.
Title: Deadsville, USA
Post by: Bozack on April 04, 2004, 09:26:13 pm: Ha, yeah, years of Great Books and Art Appreciation classes have taught me that actual debate is the most pointless thing on Earth, because, at the end of the debate, each party still believes exactly what they believed in the begining, only now, they also believe that all of the other parties are jackasses, or morons, or misguided, etc.

Post by: AugustWest on April 05, 2004, 02:35:02 am: Well personally, I've been gone. I took a long weekend and went canoeing and giraffeing with my Dad, my brother and my two daughters at Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee. Beautiful area that's both geologically and botanically unique. We had fun.

Just got back. Anything happen while I was gone?

And no, it's been pretty slow here until today. Not that the lurkers and sign-up bots haven't been hitting the server pretty hard.

No, actually my Dad paid for the whole trip, which was cool of him. I did spend a little tax refund money, however.

This is not pointless; this is valuable information.
