Unless it starts over from scratch, I have to obect to that solution for obvious reasons.

I think it's fine as it is, people need to lighten up a little and understand they, like everything else achewood and TOUAMB are mostly virtual and won't show up on your resume or your CV or transcript or whatever.

While my can count is pretty low, I think I have the highest number of given and taken away overall.

This is an interesting accomplishment.  Although it's not like we didn't already know that our fearless leader inspires strong emotions.

Are you SURE?!

I'm surprised I haven't had an anxiety dream yet about someone in a graduate school interview asking me about Interweb activities. "So, we googled your name. Just how much of your adolescence did you spend writing Mystery Science Theater 3000 fanfiction? Let's talk about how you failed your family."

I google my name every once in a while just to make sure I'm safe.

A few years ago, after I had been unreachable via electronic means for some time, I, well, probably yahooed my name, and this guy that I used to trade bootlegged tapes of live shows with had totally been smearing my name across the tape trading community.  It turns out that some shows I had given my friend to master and tape never got out there, and this guy was pissed.  He was also French, if I remember correctly.  So I contacted him and explained the situation, and sent him the tapes.  He was cool with it, after chastising me and reminding me of the sacred trust that exists between tape traders.

That shit's so much easier now with torrent trading.

I like to think that this trust is codified in a book bound in human skin.

Speaking of having a dream, is it wrong of me to not give a shit that MLK's widow died today?

I didn't particularly because:

a) What did she ever do on her own? and ...

b) She was pushing 80.

Not that I was happy she passed, but she lived a reasonably long life.  We all die.

Oh, it's not like I'm breaking out the maracas here and having a fiesta because she's dead, but I still watch the news and wonder why they're making a big fuss about someone who was just married to someone great.  Government buildings are supposed to be flying their flag at half-mast today in her honour.  WTF?

Also, spell check did not want to correct WTF. It knows WTF.

Speaking of the half-mast issue - is there some kind of website that says whether your flag should be at half-mast or not, and why?  Just curious, because it seems like all the people with flags know, and I have no idea - I'll see a flag at half-mast, and start wondering who died or whatever.  There ought to be a site.

The flag code specifies people that have mandatory lowerings and for how long (like former presidents) but the President can also order the honor at all gov't buildings for any person s/he deems worthy. Much like how the pres. can order a state funeral for those not legally entitled to one (Renquist's family was offered this but declined, for example).

But an individual person/company can lower their flags for anybody they choose to. Like fire depts do for their own fallen.

I'm guessing that the spell checker will ignore anything that looks like an acronym but as it seems to hate the Tabbrowser extension I can't say for sure.
