Damn right I did. And I invented the cut and paste and all links should be attributed to me since I own the Internet.

That said, since it's still breakfast time for some of us...

Other kids games are all such a bore!
They gotta have rules and they gotta keep score!
Calvinball is better by far!
It's never the same! It's always bizarre.
You don't need a team or a referee!
You know that it's great, 'cause its named after me!

Now that's just sick, even for this board.

Recommended, by the way.
This morning, my iTunes is jumping among OutKast, D'Angelo, Brand New Heavies, DJ Krush, Nathaniel Merriweather (Dan the Automator's Lovage), Charlie Hunter, Stanton Moore, Guru, and Robert Randolph.

It's a good morning.

Calvin & Fucking Hobbes??? Are you fuckin serious? What is this, the total fucking tools board? That might be the gayest cartoon ever. The last time I even heard of that shit was when some lameass in college suggested I invest money in these stupid T-shirts showing Calvin & Hobbes doing beer bongs. I have never seen a more dull cutesy piece of shit cartoon. Here I am thinking you're throwing some deep Calvinist shit on me...

Jesus Christ, quoting Calvin & Hobbes is like using computer tool lingo. "He he, Sebastian doesn't understand binary... he's sooo Captain Pickard."

How many people on these boards have a comic book collection?

You would win in that I wouldn't think you were as full of shit as I currently think you are.

No, SD. What I was trying to get you to think about are the reasons why you or your wife might not want pictures of her tits posted on the web. Apparently you went through the analysis (because we both know you're not sharing those shots), you just keep coming up with wacked out justifications as to why her reasons are any different from those of the other people you don't respect for having issues with public nudity. It is this inconsistency that everyone but you sees.

Sometimes I think that you're just trying to create more bon mots for us all to enjoy. But you sound so serious when you do it. I guess that's what makes them so good.

Damn Bill Watterson. Why couldn't he keep that stuff coming? One of the best cartoon series ever. Well, the best (just to stir the pot).

I take it you mean "gayest" in a pejorative sense? Classy.

We have the Dark Knight series.

Since we are all beating dead horses, Sebby, you are a gigantic hypocrite if you are trying to say that you are somehow less geeky or toolish. We are all geeky by virtue of the fact we are lawyers.

Want to see a genuinely cool person? Leave the office.
