Palin’s “I can see Russia from my house” seems so quaint now that the Russia is coming from inside the house.

I heard her speak in person a couple of time and still have one of the light nanosecond length wires that she handed out at one of the speeches. And I wrote a lot of COBOL code back in the day.

Admiral Hopper was a helluva a human being and her accomplishments are even more noteworthy considering they came out a time when she had to fight against people’s prejudice against her gender. Yale should count their lucky stars they are able to count her as an alumna.

I have considered this, maybe this is the push that I need. Someone down thread said to try tangecello, which I actually did, as I’ve made batches of limoncello before and loved it, but it just wasn’t that good. They are tasty but have a very distinct tang to them (ha ha Tang), but maybe preserving them would move…

That is good to know, I wasn’t sure to order the first or the second book in the series off Amazon, but now I’ll just start with the first one. Thank!

The crash dieters at my job are convinced that eating bread is unhealthy because they want to eat “paleo” (but still tasty and fried). “Bread is bad for you, you’re not supposed to eat it.” Never mind that it’s tied with beer for, like, the first thing humans ever invented.

Have you seen Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency yet? It’s based on a series written by Douglas Adams, it has Elijah Wood in it, and it’s delightfully quirky.

I made a pound cake today for no other reason besides I was craving delicious, delicious, pound cake

I don’t even think the Supreme Court would rule 4-4 on this. The judges clearly lean conservative and liberal, but I think even the conservative ones would rule against this - they’re conservative but not dumb.

I always get a swell of San Diego pride when I watch that movie. I used to play youth basketball in the gym where the first competition scene was shot.

My high school wasn’t the best, but when I attended, they did offer Microbiology as an elective, which I took my senior year (the first year it was offered). That class, specifically the teacher teaching the class, changed my life and caused me to fall in love with the subject, go on to graduate college with a degree…

Stig, I genuinely still love malls. There is a new mall-ish structure recently built in downtown Brooklyn and I can’t wait until all the stores are in!

Back in my day we threw the balls at each other’s faces, much more satisfying.

Albany, the city that all of New York State is ruled from, has a population of just under 100,000.

Sabrina on “Raising Hope” had the right idea: Pantyhose

That’s the size of the city i live in.

No kid had a Ghostbusters outfit that good in 1984.

I think you’re the cause of all this. Who are you? What are you? I think you’re evil. Evil! EVIL!
