I read that book within the last year as a classic of fantasy that I'd missed when younger and it wasn't all that good. I think for the time it was written it was ground breaking. 54

I've seen some in the Social Sciences wearing the corduroy jacket with patches... and Demo I think you're supposed to call us Socialists.

In college my resolution was always to be celibate for the upcoming year. That way if I had a sexless year I could claim it was my resolution, and if I got laid who cares what my resolution was - I got laid.

It's the sort of outfit you'd wear when, say, you're working in the yard or painting. He can get away with it because he's clearly been on his hands and knees pulling cable or something similar. Here in New England academia we have Hawaiian shirt competitions, and the faculty wear torn jeans and Birkenstocks. 58

I live on a peninsula with ocean less than a mile away on one side. The bay is pretty protected and ocean level would have to rise 40' feet to get my front lawn wet but the amount of rain expected could be a bother. We just got upgraded to a tropical storm warning but my town is on the border of a hurricane watch zone also, and if it tracks much further westward it's going right over us.
Yippee, maybe I'll work from home tomorrow. oh and that map linked above kicks ass 60

Anarchy / Re: Grown ups playing pokemon - is it OK to?« on: July 23, 2010, 07:30:48 AM »Hey man, I dunno. I think it's weird no matter what. I could be wrong on this point, but I doubt it. If you played a lot of flag football with friends in HS then it makes sense that when you see a bunch of them you might want to play some flag football. I played a lot of tabletop RPG's, board games and card games with different groups of people so when I hang out with that specific group we tend to pick up the relevant game type and play. Me playing Magic:The Gathering with my college roommates is not the same as me going to local game stores and signing up to play in tournaments with kids 1/2 my age. I guess my point is that everyone has hobbies and things they like to do to relax/unwind/have fun. So long as your life is in balance no big deal to me. The playing of a specific game doesn't indicate maturity level to me, it's someone wearing underwear on their head while playing that does. 65
Anarchy / Re: Grown ups playing pokemon - is it OK to?« on: July 22, 2010, 02:24:52 PM »To me it's like a grown up playing with Barbie dolls or GI Joe. A sign of a maturity issue at best, or a serious developmental issue, at worst. It's not a video game issue. It's an adult playing with a children's toy issue. But I am interested in other takes. Depends, are they going to gaming stores and playing it with 12 yr olds in tournaments? are they playing with friends the same age as them that grew up playing it together? by themselves? with their younger siblings/relatives? 66

Anarchy / Re: Need Latin Help« on: July 20, 2010, 07:05:08 AM »
At the translator I found here
putting in your latin of 'Domitus ergo sumus' gets 'To tame on account of are' and 'victus ergo sumus' gets 'victuals on account of are' putting in 'We conquer therefore we are' gets 'Nos victum proinde nos es' 68

I actually rip FoxIt reader out of all the Dell machines with images I receive. Since it's pre-installed it's got tentacles in places that I really do not like. I may have to go back and give it a try.
