A robo-call asked me if I was willing to let them put a small security sign in my yard and they'd give me a free security system. Are these euphemisms? :unsure:

Maybe I should have spied on the Chinese people?- I had one warning to use up before I would be disqualified. Noooooooooooooooo

That's not fair, we give a lot more warnings to the Chinese spying on us.

But, wait, seriously?  In Japan, when you take a test, you get a cheating warning? :lol:
There was a yellow/red card system.
I guess it'd be straight to red for blatant cheating but there would be a warning for suspicious behaviour. Seems pretty normal to me, only more formalised.

:lol:  If so, it's very poor form.  "We want to plant this...and install this..."

If it'd been a male voice...well it is nice to let someone else take the lead sometimes.

I imagine this would be disconcerting, but if I was being paid a salary at the going rate of a successful company president I don't think it would be too bad. :hmm:
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Well at least it's better then those weird army cartoons that Phil kept posting.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The Hobbit II opens on my birthday this year. :)

I may dress up (not in that) and go to the midnight showing because, why not?
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

I thought you were 4 inches too tall to go as a hobbit.

And more than 4 inches too short to go as an elf.

I thought hobbits were shorter than dwarfs. :unsure:

Doesn't matter. I mostly qualify anyway as I fit most of the other criteria. :D
