Slim chance of that, actually, since I'm still in love with Brian and the form of hope offered was from my friend who lives in Colorado.

Other than tiny snippets from watching clips of it being played on other people's screens or this one Christmas Carol episode I watched most of, no I've never seen Beavis & Butthead other than those parts.Slartibartfast wrote:So you missed the Beavis & Butthead episode where they explained it?

I felt like that before. Once I had a vehicle accident after hours at an amusement park. I bent the axle of a trailer. It was a horrible sinking feeling.Durran Korr wrote:I learned today that Sodium Bicarbonate plus Calcium Hypochlorite plus pool water with about 2 parts per million of Copper leaves very ugly stains on the bottom of a white plaster pool liner.

Today I learned how to install and configure ISA.
What is ISA, you ask?
It's a piece of software.
And now you know just as much about it as I do, because I have no clue what it does. I just install the stuff, I don't use it

And I'm slightly offended. I might not be the sharpest tool in the shed but I think I can identify a microsoftian 'Are you sure you're sure you're sure' installation routine when I see one. NTM the logo.
And I learned ANOTHER new thing today, too!
The weather does not ALWAYS turn bad just when I'm about to go home for the weekend.
Actually, after a mostly overcast day, just as I left the office...
...the sun came out
I'm slightly scared now...

I remember when one of my mate cutn his thumb while shaving. He got ribbeb for the rest of the trip we were on, basicaly along the lines that mad people sometimes believe they have hair on their hands so only a really mad person would try and shave it off.Slartibartfast wrote:I discovered that I'm not really bulletproof, when I cut myself shaving.
