You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Well that is less than a new laptop. And hopefully my sister picks up the tab. Thanks, le n.

Time to see when I can make an appt.

People, appreciate your t and r keys while you have them. Among others.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

have you installed Smart Reporter 3? I think it would be a good idea. It gives you an early warning system for when your motherboard, etc. starts failing. It told me about my motherboard failing before it went kaput.

Just grabbed a trial version to, well, try. Thanks! An early warning would have been nice when the last laptop suddenly lost its motherboard.

Laptop goes in Friday afternoon. Hopefully there is a quick, "This is how much money we want and this is when we will give you your computer back."

Hey. New board.

Gris, I still cannot get over your bidet purchase. I just don't know.

Try it. It won't exactly change your life, but it will make you favor that toilet over all other toilets.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I downloaded a music video from Youtube for Dylan to put on his iPod, and the damn thing will not sync. Granted, this was not strictly a legal download, but I've done it before without any problems - any ideas?

The "Create iPod version" option is nowhere in sight, but I'm not sure if that's iTunes 11 or if it means this is already compatible. It's a regular H.264 mp4 file, exactly like every other video on this device.

Got it, ARGH. Stupid device.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What was the porn content of Geocities?
