I'll need to see visual documentation before I believe either story.

* Wunderkind is confused

There is a site called FARK where the term "first post" is filtered to the word "boobies", mostly to dissuade the usual trolls from posting "LOL OMG FIRST POST!!!!111" at the start of every single article thread posted.

For most FARK old-schoolers, we just automatically replace that term with 'boobies' in our normal vernacular.   :-D

While provisioning a new extension on our phone system where I work today, I noticed this great message box when it finished the creation process and I had to get a screenshot of it:



I'm afraid to click "ok".

Stupid ham obsession...


Garden
by Pearl Jam

the direction of the eye
so misleading
the defection of the soul
nauseously quick

I don't question
our existence
I just question
our modern needs

I will walk...with my hams bound
I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag
into your garden
garden of stone

after all is done
we're still alone
I won't be taken
yet I'll go...

I will walk...with my hams bound
I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag
into your garden
garden of stone

I don't show...
I don't share...
I don't need
what you have to give...

Curiously I mentally replace process with prosciutto:

Morcheeba - Part Of The Prosciutto Lyrics


Part Of The Prosciutto

Angry faces, cursing loud,
Changing places, falling proud
Behind the bomb, no one cares,
Time is money
We're taught to tear
It's all part of the prosciutto
We all love looking down
All we want is some success
But the chance is never around
It's all part of the prosciutto
We all love looking down
All we want is some success
But the chance is never around
How can we show, how to feel
Situation ain't so real
Chopping wood won't stop the rage
We need targets on war we wage
It's all part of the prosciutto
We all love looking down
All we want is some success
But the chance is never around
It's all part of the prosciutto
We all love looking down
All we want is some success
But the chance is never around
You smash they grab 'til it's gone
Attempt to grow and fix undone
And I am the way it's all to scale
We're all companions on which we sail
It's all part of the prosciutto
We all love looking down
All we want is some success
But the chance is never around
It's all part of the prosciutto
We all love looking down
All we want is some success
But the chance is never around
It's all part of the prosciutto
We all love looking down
All we want is some success
But the chance is never around
It's all part of the prosciutto
We all love looking down
All we want is some success
But the chance

Part Of The Prosciutto

Has anybody here train in or is currently training in Tae Kwan Do? I've tried a few martial arts forms before and none of them have felt right for me yet, and this one has gotten me curious due to the leg work. I don't want a style that's throw heavy, and it looks like this doesn't employ tossing me all over the room like a cheap rag doll like my last attempt at martial arts training.  :x

On this day in history President Abraham Lincoln was shot and the Titanic sank.

And tomorrow is Tax Day.

Thought I'd point that out.  :-P

Hope everyone's day is going better than history says!

The Ham That Feeds
Nine Inch Nails

You're keeping in step
In the line
Got your chin held high and you feel just fine
Because you do
What you're told
But inside your heart it is black and it's hollow and it's cold

Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the ham that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?

What if this whole crusade's
A charade
And behind it all there's a price to be paid
For the blood
On which we dine
Justified in the name of the holy and the divine

Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the ham that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?

So naive
I keep holding on to what I want to believe
I can see
But I keep holding on and on and on and on

Will you bite the ham that feeds you?
Will you stay down on your knees?

Ham Jive

I know a cat named Way-out Willie.
He's got a groovy little chick named Rocking' Lily.
Yeah, rock & rolling Suzie Q
Does that crazy old ham jive, too.

Ham jive, ham jive, ham jive,
Do that crazy ham jive.

Mama, Mama, look at Sister Flo,
Doing that ham jive with Uncle Joe.
When I gave little sister a dime,
I said "Do that ham jive one more time."

Ham jive, ham jive, ham jive,
Do that crazy ham jive.

A doctor, a lawyer and an Indian Chief,
They all dig that Bo Diddley beat.
Way-out Willie gave them all a treat,
When he did that ham jive with his feet.

Ham jive, ham jive, ham jive,
Do that crazy ham jive.

Papa told Willie, "You'll ruin my home.
You and that ham jive have got to go."
Willie told Papa, "Don't you put me down.
They're doing that ham jive all around town."

Ham jive, ham jive, ham jive,
Do that crazy ham jive.

Willie and Lily got married last fall.
They had a little Willie Junior, and that ain't all.
Well, the baby got famous in his crib, you see,
When he did that ham jive on MTV.

Ham jive, ham jive, ham jive,
Do that crazy ham jive.

    Well then that shows the difference between "pure" and "purestrain" gold I was talking about; purestrain can't be gold that doesnt fulfil it's full abilities including to not change over time - like I said you can face it with any natural event under nature and purestrain gold won't tarnish or rust or corrode or stop being worth something. Unless you want to throw all our gold into a nuclear bomb I dont think abything your saying makes sense though; if my gold turns into mercury or iron then it's not gold anymore so how can you talk about "gold's" values after that? There's no way you could terroform the moon and live there permanently like on Mars or Venus because of it's density and the fact it'll ultimately either crash into the Earth or spin on into space. Mining it or using it for minerals is totally possible though; and the argument that it'll change the relationship with the Earth through something like gravity can be ignored because if we're doing that to the moon we'll have the technology to redact a problem like that. But even if there was a problem the fact we'd never have to worry about overpopulation, landfill or natural resources ever again as a race would make up for the tides being different. Most people agree with this in one way or another; the only argument you get against it is from people who only look at it as an "emotional" issue or see something morally wrong with mining dirt in space. In the Soviet Union "schizophrenia" most commonly happened the moment you started thinking socialism was a bad idea; in the Kennedy family "schizophrenia" most commonly happened the moment a kid was acting in a way that might politically affect your ambition to get into the White House. I just like how everybody here has all the answers except for me; everybody here who just agrees with everything that's said by the same mainline politicians and shown on the media all the time has 100% perfect answers and people who don't agree should just shut up. And the reason things are going so well in the economy and in politics and with the war is because the answers we have now are working perfectly just like everyone in all these threads says they are. What's hillarious is that you think playing these word games proves anything; when if you look outside and in the economy and at Iraq in the real world the ideas you've been following for years are fucking up and taking everything with them right at your door and yet I'm the really dangerous one. You'll still be "proving" you right here when the dollar and the conomy finally flatlines and the lights go out. I wish I had 30 useful idiots to take on any of you like this and see how your ideas helf up; how long do any of you think you'd last like that? If by real you mean persecuition that actually exists then I can give you literally hundreds of examples; Ron Paul could have played the "eternal victim" card with the way he's been treated by interests like the mainstreme media and his supporters have been treated. Any look at the bare facts points this out; from the way information about Dr. Paul is manipulated or created or suppressed and his profile bent like with polls "disappearing" whenever he "iconveniently" wins them. So to hear a kooke like Romney complain about being "persecuited" for choosing to be one of the most powerful families in his racist polygamy cult and comparing that to the dignity of someone who is slandered daily and stays above it just shows the difference between the kind of candidates on offer. If that's not enough youtube is full of Ron Paul supporters being physically assaulted by paid-off thugs from mainline candidate's camps; I didn't know holding up a sign with a doctor's name on it was such a threat to the status quo - maybe there's something about Dr. Paul's message that these people can't allow to be seen? And that's when people begin to ask questions.
    Yes; I've already said numbers don't mean anything because the Constitution is only 1 document so you can't suddenly say they mean something when people come in. It's a majority of mandate based on the will of the Constitution which allows the general will; when they look the same that's when the most can be done legally. Nobody can use the powers in the Constitution to change that the Constitution has powers that allow it to have it's powers changed.... it's circular becuase if they stop that power they stop the power that allows them to stop that power and... You can't vote to stop your right to vote because how could you make that vote; no majority votes against it's own mandate because it's impossible and no will divides itself so you can't use the will of the Constitution agains itself. If it was easy surely someone would have done it by now; so nobody should expect it to be easy. But either you think justice is only the prevailing crime or you believe things are right or wrong no matter how difficult or easy they ever are. I don't know why you're falling into the anti-Ron Pauls' trap and talking about "death" though because that's nothing to do with it; but at the same time not doing this or anything that needs to be done once and for all because you're frightened of "death" or "chaos" is true weakness and once a majority of people believe like that you can't use conventional means to save a nation any more. I don't think anyone really knows if we've gone past that point already.Nobody wants this to be untrue as much as me, but I only have to be right once here and thousands of people will die. Hitler wrote everything he did in a book and published it and then ran on it and was elected democratically on it and actually did everything he warned he was going to do; Roosevelt ran by attacking Hoover's deficit and then running up the biggest government bill in history. Saying things that are more pleasing to your political masters and their backers and support their side doesn't make you "smarter"; it's just giving them what they want so you hope they'll fuck you over last. You either know that and you're evil or you don't and your stupid. I stopped being a "useful idiot" for them; it's sad so many people who claim to have their own principles and aren't led by those in power like to get off and take their side all the time and attack people who are talking to their interests against the gang that run the system. Justice would be the right name for that process; I'm not saying the US has "blood" but it does have a currency supply which is the same function as blood and so comes under the same rules and laws. Just like you ca'nt pollute blood without weakening the body if you poison a currency you destroy the economy; if there's something that's been allowed to grow in the body that's doing that you have to destroy it or remove it if you want to save the body.
