My trick was learning to sleep with my head propped on my hand and tech manual in front of me; when I heard someone behind me, I would turn a page then look around. I think the hard part was learning not to let my head fall off my hand.

My doctor is sooo cool! She writes 3 prescriptions for me with 'do not fill before' dates so that I do not have to jump through hoops. Oh, and they actually handle this over the phone - I call in and say I need my Concerta refilled and in a day or so, I get them. I need to change up my drug though as it no longer…

I saw this on 60 minutes and immediately thought to myself "Pull" - who will be the first to shoot one out of the sky? Paintball teams target practice - cap them with 2-10 different colors of paint.

Sorry, I was near falling asleep when I wrote that; the Harlan story was that he was on an elevator with an attractive young woman and said "what you say to a little screw?" She looked down on him and replied "Fuck off, little screw"

When you read "The Planet Buyer", it pretty easy to tell what Cordwainer wrote and what was finished by his wife; she was a bit more of a romantic than he. Did you notice that many of the names used in his stories translate from various languages into numbers (trivia question that I learned from the notes on a…

You start right off with the blond child was the victim of a crime; that is the entire point of the cries of racism. What is the crime? Was there an interpreter there? Is there anything that says that a crime was committed other than a difference in hair color and skin pigmentation?

Thank you. I noticed the drip,drip,drip of sarcasm right off the bat because if it weren't that first sentence would have stood alone - it is perfect in its completeness.

I never noticed the dates! I just assumed that since I just saw it, it must have just happened (see, it IS all about me).

The very first reply I saw looked to be a long, exhausting thingy (tirade - tl:dr) that started explaining something that you could not possibly know and/or understand because. Doesn't anyone read a story like yours and say to themselves "Wow, that is a POV that I had not considered"? rather than "Let me explain just…

I am so sorry for your pain; tl;dr because it began to hurt too much. I know that you are going to get a lot of 'yesbut's so "take care" Rodger (grumpy)

Hell, just a random walk through mine send me to bed where I get to explore foreign depths unplumbed. There are things in there that I completely forgot; some that have no connections to anything like "why did I shit my pants in 1st grade instead of raising my hand and telling the nun I needed to go" Was I scared of…

I bought a C64 sometime in 1984, an Amiga 1000 in 1987, an Amiga 1500 in 1989 and my first pc in 1999.

I have 2 boxes in my pantry - is it okay if I hate-eat them and not buy any more?

Your comment implies that you have read and researched the Koran - have you read the Koran? If you haven't then you would be better off to shut the fuck up; and if you have, you could link to the appropriate texts.

'Burt' I don't know what that thing is but it scares me.

Ooh, ooh - someone needs to spend 13 years researching the researchers background; I am sure something could be dug up that might make the story of his 13 years of research more complex (than I want a shot at a FOX paycheck) but probably not.

I prefer Greek Gods yogurt but then I'm a guy.

Back in the day, the best Dim Sum restaurant in Seattle had no English speakers so our local food critic had a bunch of cards printed up in Cantonese and Mandarin that essentially said "I would like what that older gentleman is having". I have not been there recently (it the King Cafe) so they might even have English…

A classmate did that back in the 60s - he accidentally shot a hole in his mattress (er, Montana) so he put it to good use.

You beat me to it - I bought this when I was 55 because how could I not.
