I don't recognize him, but that's a nice little surprise for your day. :)

I understand completely. I'm awful with remembering names, no matter how many times I've heard it. I often have to go through the alphabet, and thinking of the letter will help trigger my memory.

Only when I'm thinking of you hunny.

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

It doesn't bother me if you want to waste your time on it. It should piss you off more having to actually watch it. :lol

Morning... day 4 of a long 5-day weekend (though tomorrow, I've got a couple of work things I couldn't get out of).

Some chore work, then chilling before the jingle.kids go back to school.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

We are going to Grandfather Mountain.  It is 5,946 feet above sea level.  Not tall by standards of the Rockies, but it's the highest peak on the eastern escarpment of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Closer to Asheville, NC is Mount Mitchell (6,684 feet above sea level), the highest point east of the Mississippi.

Still right around the height we have in the White Mountains.   My buddy posted pics from the Rockies at 10,000 ft.  Said you could feel it walking around.

I couldn't even say it myself. :neverusethis: Khan is a much better movie in nearly every way.

However I enjoy Into Darkness *way* more than the final two TNG movies.

Guys

So I got a call from the owner of the company today... (Surprised me to hear from him at 930AM on a Holiday..)

He had remembered my raise request...

And called to tell me that it's a go... (which I already knew)

And told me how much. More than I expected (Which still isn't much but for someone making just above CA Minimum Wage... it helps).


And he told me I am finally getting a company email address. THIS excites me.

Americans, amirite? :neverusethis:

I spend so little time in P/R (ie. basically none) that it doesn't even show up in my stats. Arguing musical opinions on DTF is enough to make me want to bang my head against the wall most of the time, let alone religious/political opinions. :lol

To be fair there is the odd thread that is LOL funny (without any humorous intent)

True, but the fact it's not supposed to be funny actually makes it worse in many cases there. The few times I do venture into P/R, there are always multiple posts that would make me do a spit take if it weren't so alarming that people actually thought that way (and due to my policy of avoiding P/R, I won't say what opinions cause that reaction :biggrin:).
