Can't convince my friend that the expression is "for all intents and purposes" not, as he says, "all intensive purposes." :D

So just mock him whenever it comes up.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

 Our disgusting little backwater has a mormon! I was so elated to meet him!

I shook his hand, I gushed to those around me how great mormonism was
and amidst extolling its virtues promised a paean to his religion by tomorrow, in sonnet form
it is the greatest of religions, and he lives on our very campus!

A saint on campus has me breathless. Absolutely delightful. I have inspiration and a sonnet to work on.
It can't be helped...We'll have to use 'that'

There are a fair number of Mormons around here.  My mother in law used to work with one who was a Director of something or other at Yum! Brands.  He was really into stockpiling guns, ammo, and canned goods. :)

I decided on a whim to put all my Pink Floyd CDs into iTunes, so I could have entire albums on there instead of just random songs, and......I seem to have lost Echoes, Meddle, Wish You Were Here, Division Bell, Ummagumma, Animals, and Delicate Sound of Thunder.  What the fuck man.  :(

Also, iTunes has the album artwork for Pulse, but not The Wall (or A Momentary Lapse of Reason).  I wonder if they have Is There Anybody Out There?.  E: They don't.

Looking for work sucks. that is all.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

You lost the actual CDs? Well the good news is you can buy them all again now in one nice, and rather expensive box set.  :D

Delicate Sound of Thunder...meh, not missing much there.
