"...long run for a short slide..." -S. Muldoon

Yes, verily.

"...but I smiled. ...just a little bit."

Mission accomplished.

A most excellent remembrance for Memorial Day.

About time for me to go play in the so-called real world, so I'll drop my theological question du jour. In honor of this thread's demise, I expect.

_

The celestial scientists have standard-model worlds, and then they have experimental worlds where they get to try out variations. Yup, we're one of the experiments.

When you design the genetic model and drop it off on a planet, as they did here 550mya, you're going to have some surprises as evolution progresses.

One big intended success was that human will creatures appeared much sooner than normal. One big fail was the retrograde bacteria and viri. (There was a fix in the works for that, but it was undermined as a consequence of that Lucifer fellow disrupting things.)

Our mortal forms, then, are a combination of planning and experiment, but on the whole, planned, intended.

So, my question is, that celestial scientist who decided to have the tear ducts connect to the nose - assuming that was not a genetic glitch- so our deepest, tenderest, most emotional moments, fraught with lamentation's lacrymation, should end up with the frankly - if infantilishly - hilarious fact of snot and the resonant vibrato of nose-blowing... can I nominate that guy as an honorary Moron?

Well, there goes my image of the stone tablets and chisel.

I'm pretty sure pixyware handles single instances of unclosed tags okay now, even if you don't have closers in your nic. I managed to have two unclosed italians to get barrellized the other day. You'd need three.

Pixy could carefully screen each comment for all unclosed tags. You write that code, pixy... been there, did that, teeeeedious.

"Idiot proofing" is the most exasperating and time-consuming aspect of programming, and impossible, as there's always a new idiot trick. Especially here....

Hey...

Morning, Glories.

I always wonder, when Vic says he has x pages of links.Is that, if printed out? And, how many links in a page, average? what size font are we talking? is he really building these up in a word processor with pages instead of just, say, notepad? And...

And then I quit wondering and pet the dog. Much easier.

I am deeply disappointed that whole cities were not smashed in last night's alleged meteor storm. I paid good money and I expect big-screen special effects!

Indeed! Wrote it with pinky extended.

"Sleep" is several different states. Dozing, dreaming, deeply zonked, all have different effects.

Sleep is death. Waking is resurrection in place. It's practice for waking up in a strange new place, and I dont mean like my daughter's friend who was discovered passed out on the floor of a dentist's office near her home. (Friends stay to make sure you got you the right door.)

I guess I was sleeping okay until the Night Kitty come meowing to be let in sometime in the 4am hour. Just the kind of time that is almost impossible for me to go back to sleep. Thanks again, kitty.

I'll go put on coffee. You guys wake up the blogmeisters.

Now and then, I've captured "first"
Such glory fades so fast,
But at least you can't get knocked off "first"
The way you can at "last"

I wandered off back at #124, whatever # the ONT is up to now. Watched initiative-destroying passive-entertainment viddies, including the videos from above, among some others garnered over the day.

Since I can't watch most vids through the browser on my antique desktop, I download to watch, and in the playlist, I put the Admiral last. That worked.

Excellent. Thanks, CDR M!

Good night, Gracies. Love one another like Daddy loves us.

Dear jewells45 trying to keep from going crazy,

I have no idea what's going on with you, but, hello.

They say God doesn't give us challenges bigger than we can handle. If I can ever even begin to get a handle on my own life's disaster, I'll let you know if that's true. Promises of intervening help and miraculous healing seem to hinge on our own faith, yet just getting the tiny seed of faith to grow seems to require watering with the tears of hard experience. In the meantime, here's a gentlemanly embrace of sympathy, and, of course, my and my family's prayers for your complete and rapid release to a life of balance and joyous productive service.

Earlier today, safely disguised under a second sock, I was that guy, correcting the first sentence in an Ace post. I made sure to make an erorr on porpoise so I wouldn't make won by misteak.

Well, I'm not really that guy; I just sock one sometimes on a smart military blog.

Bum facials? Umm.. Is that what you do when you blend up the hoboes?

What's all this now?

Just a reminder:

It's going to rain down Divine wrath and destruction! Be prepared! Lay in supplies! Doom! Destruction!
DREAM! WARNING! MAY 23RD! METEOR STORM!

(Just something I ran across looking for a clip from the Russian meteor; I didn't watch the whole thing, but I think I got the gist. Heavy overcast here, of course. We'll never see it coming!)

As long as I'm hanging around, here's an image for you (not mine, but definitely a 'wish I'd thought of that').

The "Thanks, Obama" bumpersticker is starting to give me ideas...

I'm not too late for this thread?

Ban Bossy Obama bumpersticker gets my vote.
Click nic.

Actual bumper stickers & car magnets available via the overpriced fine CafePress store.

I was tempted to vote for the "Like a Boss" bumper sticker. But there were so many horrible choices, and they would have my IP. I figured I could count on the Dems to do the worng thing.

And Obama is "like" a certain kind of "boss."
