Um, I've heard of it. Still have no idea what it is.
Do a Google image search of "ticker tape parade". It's awesome.
Jayne: What're you gonna tell the others? Mal: About what? Jayne: About why I'm dead. Mal: Hadn't thought about it. Jayne: Make something up. Don't tell 'em what I did.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Happy Mardi Gras, y'all.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ticker tape.
I wonder how much one of those would go for... it'd be cool to have one. You could connect it to a computer and have it print... whatever.

I went to bed relatively early so that I would be up bright and early to go vote - which I did. My polling place was pretty busy but not crowded. The sidewalks were of the suck: wet, slushy and icy. But I suspect that they will be more icy than not later on because our high temperature today was this morning.
Happy Birthday Victor!

Huh. And now I know. In my defense, I had figured out it was about throwing bits of paper.

Nowadays, we just use regular shredded paper, though.

flea & Theodosia - He's been working in database applications/dev, but he also has a background in biology and worked at Red Cross for a while. I don't think he's much networking, which is odd because he is most definitely not shy. Although he hates asking for help, so I suppose that's why.
Oh, and I don't think he's seeing someone right now because of the move & insurance stuff, but yeah, he has gotten treatment.
I'm relieved that I don't sound like a callous jerk, at least. And yeah, a chat over coffee isn't possible but I'm sure we'll talk later this week on the phone, so I'll do a mood-check and see if I can administer a nudge, at least. Thanks to you both!
There should totally be a Buffista advice column.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I call it natter!

Correction: There should be a syndicated Buffistas advice column, so that others could benefit from the collective wisdom.
...Although that might be called "COMM."

Shit's all sorts of different now.
One day, I want someone to throw me a ticker tape parade.
