Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

'Time Bomb'


Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I don't get people sometimes.

Coding and Sleeping

The whole "Family" thing makes me a bit skeptical. It sounds a bit over-the-top and I haven't really heard about it from anyone but the one guy. I'm sure there is some religious organization (or whatever) involved, but I'm leery that it's as extreme as portrayed. I could be wrong, but I'm not sold yet.

Anyone supporting that Uganda law is evil though, they may have religious motivations, but that doesn't make any difference.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, I think I've figured out part of the problem with my DVR -- once I delete the recording, it doesn't remember that it ever happened. Which is why I have to cancel the Daily Show a million times a day. Annoying! I guess I could just not erase it until the next day, but that shouldn't be necessary.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Jesse, my DH finally just set the DVR to record DS manually so it would only do it once a day.

Bless a million times. The babysitter we are trying out tonight, the boy babysitter? He's African American. Mac's whole face lit up.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I was having that problem with my Comcast DVR. I solved it by recording The Daily Show on another medium. A friend of mine solved it by switching to manual recording rather than series recording. It's an annoying bug.

I hope he works out, msbelle!

Yeah, it's Comcast. I thought I didn't like Time Warner Cable, but I am really growing to dislike Comcast.

Comcast were the ones who said when they installed the DVR for me "Oh, you've had Tivo? You'll like this so much better." I did not.
