yep, it's time to drag this out:

oh yay, when I got my refurbished laptop it had Avast installed already, I'd never heard of it but so far I love it. Also I can tell if some other program in the background is stuck or churning because the little logo keeps flipping around, not enough to be irritating, but enough to be noticed.

I remember at Worldcon in 1996, Buzz Aldrin was a special guest of honor. The auditorium was packed to OVER standing room only. This was a solemn, awesome moment for thousands of space geeks to finally see a real Apollo astronaut close up.

45th anniversary, not 40th.

it wasn't even open when I left there 2 years ago, I know they were getting rid of Studio 54 and putting something else in there, I'm guessing that's the space. But they've gone through so many clubs on that property and there are other companies (hello, Light Group!) that would be happy to fill that space with…

apples and octopi. It's not about whether you agree or not. It's the "I'm the man so I know more/better than you do, even in your own field of expertise which is not even my field of expertise, here let me detail how."

"Dismiss" is your friend.

Well I only lived and worked there for eight years, what the heck do I know.

off the top of my head: Springs Preserve museum is pretty cool. Right in the city but it's a garden, mini wildlife park, museum complex, and also has the distinction that the automated descriptive system will (according to that TV show Life After People) be the last human voice heard in Vegas when the apocalypse…

actually having lived and worked there (for MGM) there are a LOT of neat places to go and see and do and this relatively new club (as such things go) is the exception and not the rule. Don't let this one club's douchebaggery mess up the rest of it. (and btw I fricking hate MGM as a corporation, but they're not all…

Yep, when I worked at the fulfillment center I had to stock a whole flipping cart full of these things. You see, most of the sex toys Amazon sells are wrapped in opaque black plastic (that is also weirdly sticky, I know it's because it's like shrinkwrap but ewww anyway) but these "dog toys" are in plain clear…

oh yes, during my grade school "have to be on a sports team!" days, I had this conversation with my Mom so many times. Only she never asked if I won, she always started with "so, did you have fun?"

and they haven't called it "Fuligin" which is the name given the blacker than black color of the main character's cloak in Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun? For shame.

we might see him stubbing something out from time to time.

this gif is proof that we do, actually, need stinkin' badgers.

"Feminine men... have never been considered attractive"

this was mine and my late spouse's first date movie.

my god that pic of Hesselbeck! "her face... just... SPLIT...." /cake for breakfast

as for me, I'm gonna soak up the sun, got my 45s on so I can rock on.
