Newt!

Just so you know.... When my species comes to enslave this planet, your name will be on the protected rolls, and you will come to no harm.

I've been digging picasa since Google's now giving it away. It meshes wonderfully with whatever else I'm doing, and it's a good app, now that it's a gimme. It's probably the best image management system I've used yet.

Summary of colors. I really like the movies - door 32.(flash with sound) Interesting associations with each.

Comparison thought - anything you can put through 1/4" plywood will probably penetrate the temple of the head.

July 19, 1870 - Franco-Prussian War: France declares war on Prussia. For those without much recollection of history.... The French suffered greatly for it, and it united Germany under Prussia.

Random Scotto factoid... I'm the only person I know that used the "thumbs-up" gesture with any frequency at all. I don't know anyone else that says something is "aces" either.

I think it's funny that the new Justice League promos say "Every hero worth cheering for, and then some" with the frame on Hawk and Dove during the "and then some". That's true.. I can't think of anyone that ever leapt up and went... "ALL RIGHT! HAWK AND DOVE! YEEEE-HAW!" I am looking quite forward to the new episodes.

Tropical Laser Beams.

Tropical Lima Beans.

I want a pop-tart. Or Chik-fil-a fries. Somebody hook me up. I don't want Lima beans.

Take your vitamins, dear journal.

6784 - cliche dueling

My counter to "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" is "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down".

One of my techs needs to watch their step and mouth... too much flapping lip and attitude.

Got something to say? Fair enough. Make yourself heard in a proper venue and suggestion area! If the idea's a thought to be a good one and presented well, it'll probably get implemented.

If it's *not* considered to be a good idea, and you're given perfectly valid reasons why... shut yer piehole, and be done with it. Please don't piss and moan about it, and don't keep resubmitting the idea once it's been shot down multiple times.
