Yeah, summer nights that end at 9:30 are fine with me.
I'm going to get all into the "Seize Back the Day" Leap Day revolution next year. Just a heads up.
It should just be Daylight Saving Time all the time. I have no idea why we set the clocks back. There may be a reason, I just don't know what it is.
Reading about John Wayne Gacy is so incredibly sad and horrifying.
What a fucking evil soul that was.
Watching an interview with him from the '90s, he tries to say it's the parents' (of the victims) fault for their deaths, because if the kids had been watched better by their parents, he wouldn't have gotten a hold of them.
I'm reminded of the song John Wayne Gacy, Jr. by Surfjan Stevens, which really covers the man quite well.

I dug up the Sufjan Stevens CD from my collection and that's still the real stand-out song for me.
I posted the video in the YouTube thread the other day.
Still not sure if this is serious:

Is there any "rule" for when you should retract your hand, if you reach out to shake someone's hand and they don't reciprocate?
Had a situation today where I finished a sale with a customer, held out my hand to shake, and...nothing. They knew my hand was out for sure, but they just weren't going to shake, so I felt like kind of a moron holding my hand out there.
I don't know if it was a cultural thing (while not having any accents, they looked to perhaps be East Indian), or a cleaniness/germaphobe thing.
I don't know. The reason doesn't really matter, I don't think.
When someone doesn't immediately reciprocate my handshake I usually then lower my hand to my crotch and do a prolonged slow jerking gesture to make the experience as uncomfortable for them as possible.
I thought I was the only one.Quote:

This doesn't answer the most important question raised in that song: which seat should she take? Now, I don't wanna get all philosophical on you guys, but I'm pretty sure that's a rather potent metaphor for adolescent indecision. Indeed, the question of what seat to take is one weighing heavily on the mind of every teenager. The seat and all its inherent pressures await these teenagers at every turn. The career seat. The sexuality seat. The drug seat. All incredibly important seats in the car of life.Quote:

I keep mine in the fridge and it usually stays fresh a week or so longer then normal.Quote:

I stick half the loaf in the freezer. Bread freezes very well, just be sure to allow it to defrost on the counter. Don't stick it in the microwave or anything.Quote:

I post a lot in English on Facebook, and I'm half-expecting my relatives and friends to criticize me.Quote:

It helps to prevent global warming by lessening the Sun's light by one hour for half of the year.Quote:

Does no good if they aren't going to eat that bread while it's fresh anyway.Quote:

My ability to have this sort of, as you put it, patience and foresight is just about the only thing I know for certain has changed between me in my early twenties and me in my early thirties. Other than that, progress has been slow.Quote:

Then I stop and think: Holy crap, I'm an adult.
My girlfriend just went to a costume party dressed as Brett from Flight of the Conchords. I love her so much.:lol:
