Supposedly tests your biases re: sex, race, age, etc. I haven't taken any of them.

They had no US flag, so I pretended to be Canadian(!!) for the race-based test, and British for the US/UK test. The latter test concluded that I had a slight preference for the US over the UK; the race test concluded that I had a slight automatic preference for black people in relation to white people (or some such wording.)

You know what they say, once you've had a man with no legs...

I think the default is American, but with typical US arrogance they neglect to say that.

Better than the fucking websites with the pull-down location choices, where you have to scroll through 48 countries without internet access and another 100 to get to the U.S.

It's the lack of sleep.

You really need to stop lying awake all night wondering who she was fucking. It isn't healthy - let it go.

Last winter vacation, we went to WalMart (it was quite the novelty -- there is no WalMart in TCOTU, well, in the REAL COTU anyway, there may be some in the outer-boroughs). So at WalMart, we bought a bunch of DVDs, many of which still sit unopened in the drawer.

Last night, our satellite reception went out as a result of a passing thunderstorm, so we couldn't watch tv, and turned to our collection of unopened DVDs, among which was Office Space.

I had forgotten how freakin' funny that movie is. It was especially relevant to me, as my department recently had a consultant come in to review what we do, how we do it, blah, blah, blah.

The scene at the beginning when each of them is in a morning traffic jam on the way to work and the nerdy software programmer is rapping along to the gangsta' selection on the radio, and then a black dude walks by selling flowers or something and he turns down the radio and locks his door -- I could not stop cackling. My son didn't get the joke (obviously.)

Is that supposed to take place in Texas? I suppose it doesn't matter -- it's probably just supposed to be Anywhere, USA.

You do realize you can type in the first letter and it will take you directly to that section, non?

If properly coded.

BTW, could you please hurry over the trade center site, and insert a comma after "2001"? And while you're at it, explain to them the difference between cardinal and ordinal numbers?

Did everyone have a nice July 4th/5th?

Awwww, maaaaan. That's just embarrassing.

The one mitigating fact is that by the time some archaeologist unburies the stone in 100s (or more) years, grammar will have gone completely to hell already, so it won't seem curious.
