Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Repeatedly forwarding an e-mail message that has been in my inbox for less than 45 minutes "just to make sure I got it" is an example of how not to make friends and influence people.

We have this issue with faxes sometimes. Faxing a 44 page document 3 times? Makes the non-profit angry.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Virtual Dog-Walking Arcade Game

This is me playing the dog walking game. This is arguably the most challenging arcade game I have ever played. Much more so than Beatmania or DDR (j/k, I so don't play DDR) or Street Fighter II. Basically you have to walk on a treadmill while holding this white dog's leash. Walk too fast, and he'll get tired. Walk too slow, and he'll get bored. And when obstacles like the neighborhood bully dog or a oncoming car shows up on the screen, you better steer clear! If you mess up, your dog dies.

In Japan, of course.

This? Is genius.

Oh, and have them all written up before you actually send, then do as near a simultaneous send as possible. And maybe have attachments on each that also give a separate set of details.

Unfortunately, it was a simple request for a number, so replying with different-yet-valid answers would have required more work for me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

You should resend your reply a few times. In progressively bigger font. Just in case.

And then send multiple emails to ask if he received your answer because you hadn't gotten his "thank-you", yet.
