[2002-06-27 13:37:26] - why on earth would rich people pay for someone else? -cryptic
[2002-06-27 13:37:03] - cryptic: somehow i doubt that. - mig
[2002-06-27 13:32:49] - cryptic: Why on earth would the rich people rather give their money to the goverment then decide where it goes themselves? -Paul
[2002-06-27 13:29:44] - paul: rich people are not just going to give money to poor people.... more than likely they will want the government to regulate where the money goes.... and thus form a PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM -cryptic
[2002-06-27 13:19:31] - wolf: I highly doubt that eliminating public schools will lead to all poor people being unable to read and write and buy cars. However, even if it did, that would just give the rich people (who make their money from the economy) more incentive to educate the poor people. -Paul
[2002-06-27 10:49:05] - if poor people don't buy cars, the rich will still be buying them and keeping the car companies in business. if the poor don't learn to read and write, we don't have any blue-collar workers. i think that would have a more severe economic impact. - wolf
[2002-06-27 10:30:53] - People owning cars are also good for the economy
-Paul[2002-06-27 10:30:19] - Education is a consumer product -Paul
[2002-06-27 10:25:45] - i think we just have fundamentally different views on whether people deserve an education or not. i think they do. this is where i usually get called a socialist, although i don't subscribe to or affiliate myself with any political ideology. - wolf
[2002-06-27 10:24:05] - i think that everyone has the right to an education. i also think that educated citizens are good for the economy. - wolf
[2002-06-27 10:23:10] - the right to an education and a consumer product are two completely different things. - wolf
[2002-06-27 10:16:21] - wolf: Well, let me ask you this: Do you think people should be barred from buying the car they want just because they don't have the money? -Paul
[2002-06-27 10:09:49] - i guess i'm just one of those godless commie pinko terrorist liberal fags
- wolf[2002-06-27 10:09:06] - paul: and i believe that people should not be barred from attending a school simply because they do not have the money for it. - wolf
[2002-06-27 10:00:33] - wolf: Well, I just don't happen to agree that everyone should have the right to go to whatever school they want. -Paul
[2002-06-27 09:56:35] - and yes, i consider tech subpar when compared to bu, columbia, etc. not everyone can go to these schools, but only allowing rich people to attend the better schools really fucking sucks. - wolf
[2002-06-27 09:55:58] - wolf: No, I can't say that I am. -Paul
[2002-06-27 09:54:55] - paul: are you familiar with the art department here at tech? - wolf
[2002-06-27 09:54:04] - i mean "legal standards" as in reporting things to the police, making sure their kids are at least literate by the time they're 18, etc. - wolf
[2002-06-27 09:53:00] - wolf: You consider tech to be a sub-par education? You also realize that not everyone can go to the big and fancy schools. Otherwise there wouldn't be any "sub-par" schools -Paul
[2002-06-27 09:51:52] - wolf: i don't remember saying that private school was better. when i said referring to "legal standards" i meant all that horse shit stuff about SOLs and schools have to teach x,y,z etc. - mig
[2002-06-27 09:51:12] - paul: that still doesn't work. i had to turn down five schools and settle for tech because i couldn't afford the good ones. i'm currently getting a subpar education because i can't afford the big expensive schools. - wolf
[2002-06-27 09:50:46] - wolf: That very same thing could happen in a public school, and I would guess it happens more often in public schools then private ones. -Paul
[2002-06-27 09:50:16] - wolf: That really doesn't have anything to do with public or private schools. That has to do with poor administration. -Paul
[2002-06-27 09:49:03] - wolf: It could work like college, where kids can get scholarships and stuff. Or there can be charity schools. There are a number of possibilities. -Paul
[2002-06-27 09:47:50] - paul: and how are the poor supposed to be able to afford private school? - wolf
[2002-06-27 09:46:59] - mig: if you got raped in the bathroom at my public school, they called the cops. if you got raped in the bathroom at my private school, they wouldn't. i don't see how that amkes the private school better. - wolf
[2002-06-27 09:46:56] - wolf: From private schools. It is possible for poor kids to go to school without the government providing for them -Paul
[2002-06-27 09:44:59] - the "legal standards" are exactly the cause of the problems with public school. - mig
[2002-06-27 09:43:32] - paul: where are the poor supposed to get a "better" education from? - wolf
[2002-06-27 09:42:37] - paul: doubtful. very little of our money went to the public school system. public schools in our area were very poor, but they at least had legal standards to adhere to. - wolf
[2002-06-27 09:42:20] - anyways, elimination of federal control and not making school mandatory should solve most of the problems with the current system. - mig
[2002-06-27 09:41:13] - Eliminating public schools will free the poor from the shackles of sub-par education -Paul
[2002-06-27 09:41:12] - i had a better public school experience than private one. then again i did go to a "different" public school. i suppose if i went to fchs i might be saying different. personally i think private schools do more to turn kids into zombies than public school do. - mig
[2002-06-27 09:40:09] - eliminating public schools will keep the poor uneducated. - wolf
[2002-06-27 09:39:40] - wolf: It could be they didn't have the money to send their kids to private school because their money was being flushed down the toilet in public schools? -Paul
[2002-06-27 09:38:52] - people didn't have money to send their kids to private schools, so the private schools deteriorated. there is only one private school left in my county... and that was the shithole i went to for a couple of months. - wolf
[2002-06-27 09:38:52] - wolf: Likewise, you can't make blanket statements about all private schools sucking because the one you went to did. -Paul
[2002-06-27 09:38:12] - We know all good schools need the government to lay out standards of learning for them to follow. -Paul
[2002-06-27 09:37:17] - Paul: that's great. but you can't expect to find good private schools in economically depressed areas, like the one i grew up in. - wolf
[2002-06-27 09:35:52] - ultimately, i learned nothing in private school. there were no standards of learning. it was a huge joke. - wolf
[2002-06-27 09:35:29] - wolf: I went to a private school for nine years and when something illegal happened, you were punished much more harshly then I imagine you would be in a public school. And the cirriculum at my school was more difficult then the public schools around me. -Paul
[2002-06-27 09:35:12] - i was forced to take algebra as freshman even though i had taken it in 8th grade because they were afraid the sophomores might get upset. - wolf
[2002-06-27 09:34:18] - wolf: Private schools do work. In fact, they almost always work better then public schools. Their primary concern is good PR, and the best PR is to be a good school. -Paul
[2002-06-27 09:33:55] - i attended a private school briefly. when something illegal happened, they didn't report ot for fear of bad pr. when students got bad grades, they dumbed down the curriculum to make them appear smarter. - wolf
[2002-06-27 09:33:25] - wolf: Public schools aren't free schools by any stretch of the imagination. And I don't see how eliminating public schools eliminates labor force production -Paul
[2002-06-27 09:32:19] - private schools don't work. they exist to sell themselves, so their primary concern is good pr. - wolf
[2002-06-27 09:30:38] - if you eliminate free schools, you eliminate labor force production. we have schools to produce workers. - wolf
[2002-06-27 09:15:29] - In terms of the court case? I'm in favor of getting rid of public schools totally so we don't run into these kinds of problems
-Paul[2002-06-27 09:07:30] - paul: which side are you on? ~a
[2002-06-27 08:57:05] - It's really funny. I'm reading all these posts praising the court ruling at work while in the next room over, two of my coworkers are talking about how silly it is.
-Paul[2002-06-27 01:28:10] - http://www.blackbeltjones.com/warchalking/
[2002-06-26 22:14:38] - on top of that, church law would have to fight with secular, constitutional law. they might get their way with some issues, but most of their rules would be voted down by constitutionalists/people of other religions. - wolf
[2002-06-26 22:12:36] - never mind the fact that most christian groups are at odds with each other, and if, say, "baptist" was going to be the state religion, every other christian group would get pissed.- wolf
[2002-06-26 22:11:42] - what most of these church-state fusion people don't realize is that a merger of church and state would secularize their church. - wolf
[2002-06-26 20:36:42] - the irony is that most christian conservatives spout off the republic argument. - mig
[2002-06-26 20:35:10] - a: while that is true, courts have and will rule in favor of the minority if their rights are being violated. hence we are a republic, not a democracy. - mig
[2002-06-26 20:14:18] - i think more or less, the majority rules in america. there are just a ton of christians who beleive in seperation of church and state and there are a ton of christians who don't think pushing their beliefs on others is the right thing to do. ~a
[2002-06-26 20:12:22] - everyone remind me not to listen to 979 anymore. ~a
[2002-06-26 19:47:54] - ah, to see money that doesn't say "In God We Trust" on it in my lifttime. that would be great. - mig
[2002-06-26 19:46:39] - and we live in a republic, which means majority doesn't rule. all those christians can go cry a fucking river. - mig
[2002-06-26 19:21:14] - "the OpenBSD team is working with ISS to address a remote exploit for OpenSSH (a free implementation of the Secure SHell protocol). They are refusing to provide any details on the vulnerability but instead are advising users to upgrade to the latest release, version 3.3." ~a
[2002-06-26 18:54:58] - Well, most traits that apply to "most Americans" are negative.
-logan[2002-06-26 18:47:05] - but most americans are christian

[2002-06-26 16:03:19] - well, i can say it's about fucking time they're at least considering the notion that it's unconstitutional. - mig
[2002-06-26 15:52:28] - Oh ok, the headline just made it sound more final, I understand now - aaron
[2002-06-26 15:25:19] - aaron: His original case was dismissed, but it looks like he appealed and won his appeal and that is what the article is about. -Paul
[2002-06-26 15:23:57] - aaron: No, I think all this article is about is that this federal judge is allowing the atheist's case against the mandatory pledge to continue to a higher court. -Paul
[2002-06-26 15:16:44] - So now they won't recite the pledge at all? It's not even like, an opt-out kind of thing? - aaron

[2002-06-26 11:28:05] - Also unlimited undo, and just less buggy interface (zoom in/out didn't work for me on the old board, and I always drew little colored lines when dragging the color sliders around)... It's a very nice board. - aaron
[2002-06-26 11:25:38] - Good article - aaron

[2002-06-26 11:23:39] - it is pretty neat. my only concern is how much space it takes up... it has a built in check for when it starts to take up too much room, so we'll see what happens. - wolf

[2002-06-25 14:48:20] - If it's a school bus, then isn't the government the owner of the bus? - aaron
[2002-06-25 14:30:56] - i didn't read the whole thing about the bus driver. the university question is a little more iffy, because they are quasi-public. - mig
[2002-06-25 14:12:58] - yeah. i think we're still having problem with how we are defining "right" some people are using it to mean you can do it anywhere (like the right to not be raped) and others are using it to mean it isn't limited by the government (like the right of free speach). i think i've used both definitions so i'm not sure which definition is better. ~a
[2002-06-25 14:11:11] - not if the owners of the buses don't want prayer on their busses -cryptic
[2002-06-25 14:09:16] - man, i'm off today. - mig

[2002-06-25 14:08:42] - just because one is a hypocrite doesn't mean one doesn't automatically lose his rights. - mig
[2002-06-25 14:06:52] - does it matter what he thinks? its still his right to lead a prayer. - mig
[2002-06-25 14:04:31] - a: what kind of extra rights? some of the complaints seem legitamate to me. - mig

[2002-06-25 13:58:08] - i'm sure the bus driver who was leading a prayer to his riders don't think i should be allowed to start up my satan worshiping bus from hell. ~a
[2002-06-25 13:56:52] - re: parading around disneyland cursing - that's more like free will. disneyland is private property and i imagine they have rules about orderly conduct. - wolf
[2002-06-25 13:56:19] - "Christians defend rights in court" should read "Christians try to give themselves extra rights in court" ~a
[2002-06-25 13:41:49] - And really, it's a distinction which doesn't matter too much in the real world anymore - aaron
[2002-06-25 13:40:23] - Whether it's the government who punishes you, or just your boss/landlord/etc... That's the distinction I was failing to make - aaron
[2002-06-25 13:39:33] - Oh, no, I was just saying. You're free to, for instance, parade around Disneyland and yell swear words. But they'll probably take you to Disneyland Prison and kick you out and keep your money.... "Freedom" of speech to me is misleading because you still "pay" for the things you say in one way or another - aaron
[2002-06-25 13:34:59] - am i coming across as mean or am i just being paranoid? i can't really tell, sorry. ~a
[2002-06-25 13:16:42] - "In that way, you're about as free to speak, as you are to, say, murder your family or conspire against the president - aaron" yeah. i don't know what i said to make you say this because that's not really what i meant. ~a
[2002-06-25 13:14:20] - Oh okay, I guess I was just failing to distinguish between constitutional rights, and freedom in general - aaron
[2002-06-25 13:12:03] - putting up the photos is nat in their rights. ~a
[2002-06-25 13:10:54] - not really. it's private property. i can't put fetuses on your front door. ~a
[2002-06-25 13:10:36] - You can complain or call the police or yell at them or kick them out but they can still do it - aaron
[2002-06-25 13:10:17] - a: Ok
-Paul[2002-06-25 13:10:12] - If you own a university and people want to put up photoshopped fetuses then, likewise, that's their right - aaron
[2002-06-25 13:09:24] - if i own a university and i don't want to allow people to put up photoshopped fetuses then that's in my right. ~a
[2002-06-25 13:08:26] - In that way, you're about as free to speak, as you are to, say, murder your family or conspire against the president - aaron
[2002-06-25 13:06:56] - if i want to lead prayer to a bunch of children when i've been instructed not to then my employers have the right to fire me. ~a
[2002-06-25 13:06:16] - if i want to cuss out my coworkers then my employers have the right to fire me. ~a
[2002-06-25 13:04:53] - (freedom of speech == government doesn't limit your speech) != nobody limits your speech ~a
[2002-06-25 13:03:18] - a: Well, kinda. I want to argue this point with you so badly but I think it is best done in person and even then I don't think we would get anywhere.
-Paul[2002-06-25 12:44:00] - are you referring to "01375 - 6-25-02 11:04:30a" ? ~a

[2002-06-25 12:41:53] - paul: yep. ~a

[2002-06-25 12:30:53] - paul: yes. ~a

[2002-06-25 11:56:42] - Therefore I think we'll always be doomed to use crappy office programs and Microsoft will be doomed to lose lots and lots money on their game systems. - aaron
[2002-06-25 11:55:39] - My boss will give me a Powerpoint document and say, "Here, add these rockets to pages 3 and 4" but he'll never give me Jet Set Radio Future and ask me to beat level 3 or someting
- aaron[2002-06-25 11:54:52] - Gamers, unlike office workers, are fickle, and won't put up with clumsy interfaces and unfinished products, I think that's Microsoft's main problem - aaron

[2002-06-25 11:38:51] - here's another reason java sucks: InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress() is returning "0.0.0.0" which is breaking my program. ~a
[2002-06-25 11:37:21] - yes. java was not meant to be a gaming language. no good game is ever writen in a language that is interpreted and no good game is writen in a language that has automatic memory management. ~a
[2002-06-25 11:36:39] - Just always having an exrta unmodifiable copy of all the game objects, which you only use for rendering purposes. - aaron
[2002-06-25 11:35:36] - But, if you made a copy of all of the polygons, and then rendered that, while the game modified everything else, maybe it would render OK and just use up twice as much memory because Java's such a memory hog - aaron
[2002-06-25 11:34:59] - Yeah, well like in Unreal Tournament Java Edition, maybe Java would half of the polygons, then everything would move, then it would draw the rest. So it would look all crappy, because java looks crappy by default... - aaron
[2002-06-25 11:34:59] - "king miguel's web page" bahaha. i laugh at miguel's puny bar length. ~a
[2002-06-25 11:34:01] - it makes your animations look smoother otherwise the api might try to display a half rendered image. ~a
[2002-06-25 11:31:16] - double buffering is different. that means you have two displays: the one that you're rendering and the one that is displayed. once you're done rendering a scene, you tell the api to swap the buffers so the one you're done rendering will be displayed while you work on rendering the next one. ~a
[2002-06-25 11:28:32] - i don't know much about java. but afaik if you make all your functions synchronized (public synchronized void blah() ) then no two functions in the same class will be allowed to run at the same time. ~a
[2002-06-25 11:27:32] - I guess that's what double buffering's about? - aaron
[2002-06-25 11:26:01] - It automatically uses a different thread whenever you are drawing, which obviously causes a lot of visual glitches where you'll start painting something, and then it'll move, and then you'll paint the other half. - aaron
[2002-06-25 11:23:53] - I understand there's thread objects I can use if I *want* to. But it shouldn't just, run my code in any random order it wants to, just because it's Java. Do you know how to specify "THREADS = OFF" or something in Java? This is really stupid - aaron
[2002-06-25 11:21:15] - aaron: nothing is atomic in any language that has threads. ~a
[2002-06-25 11:20:51] - aaron: that's what synchronized is for ~a
[2002-06-25 11:19:20] - Nothing is atomic in java. So if I have say, that statement in my repainting procedure, and then somewhere in my program I alter the value of "b", then that message can get printed. That's just so very wrong! - aaron
[2002-06-25 11:18:13] - int a=b; if (a!=b) System.out.println("JAVA SUCKS"); - aaron
[2002-06-25 11:15:34] - ie. it doesn't give you the whole stack trace, just a sampling of it. ~a
[2002-06-25 11:14:32] - aaron. i agree. do you ever get that "... 9 more" thing in your stack traces? ~a
[2002-06-25 11:12:52] - java sucks - aaron
[2002-06-25 11:11:58] - most of those so-called aborted fetus pictures are mislabeled and/or photoshopped - wolf
[2002-06-25 11:11:04] - heh. i think "people" want to see boobs. just not the kind that are usually used for breastfeeding. ~a
[2002-06-25 11:10:34] - i know that setting the cap back to 50 pictures will work, but i don't want older pictures getting lost. i wish i knew enough cgi to convert it to php. - wolf
[2002-06-25 11:09:58] - I think this somehow actually, comes back to the boobs thing
it's not so different. What kinds of things people want to see in public places. - aaron[2002-06-25 11:09:36] - sorry about oekaki
after work i don't feel like going near a computer. i'll see if i can fix it after lunch, though. - wolf[2002-06-25 11:08:21] - Yeah! Nobody should be able to keep you from posting excessively violent images in public places, to defend your viewpoints. - aaron
[2002-06-25 11:04:30] - "In recent months, evangelical activists defended an Ohio landlord who refused to rent to a gay couple; a Baltimore bus driver fired for leading students in prayer; and a University of Houston student who wanted to display photos of dead fetuses in a heavily traveled area of campus." go christians! fight back! yeah! ~a
[2002-06-25 10:52:43] - http://www.detnews.com/2002/religion/0206/25/a01-522445.htm Christian Groups begin to fight back in courts. -Paul
[2002-06-25 10:37:00] - Aaron: I think you would end up beefing up your wrist muscles more then anything else. -Paul
[2002-06-25 10:24:29] - It's nice to use arms for a change. Maybe I can start wearing wrist weights when I play, and beef up my arm muscles, rrrr yeah! - aaron
[2002-06-25 10:13:33] - paul: i'm not very good at it either. i've tried really hard to get into it but i just don't enjoy it like i did when i first started ddr. ~a
[2002-06-25 10:12:37] - Aaron: I think that game is too complicated for me. I have enough trouble using my two feet for DDR. I don't think I could handle two hands and a foot for Percussion Freaks. -Paul
[2002-06-25 10:06:24] - Yes, percussion freaks is it Paul! I passed like a ZILLION new songs yesterday after I was starting to think my performance was stagnating. So I'm really excited to play today! - aaron
[2002-06-25 10:00:00] - god created heaven and the earth. and god said. and god said let there be light. god saw the light and it was good. god saw the light and it was good. and god said let there be light. ~a
[2002-06-25 09:58:53] - a: Why have you been working for the past 20 hours?
-Paul[2002-06-25 09:56:05] - i've listened to the same cd over and over again for 20 hours. ~a
[2002-06-25 09:54:51] - paul&aaron: yeah. probably like 4:30 or so. i've been working (with lots of breaks like now for instance) for the last 20 hours so i can't wait for 4:30 to come. ~a
[2002-06-25 09:53:13] - Aaron: By drummania, do you mean Percussion Freaks? -Paul
[2002-06-25 09:52:46] - a: You going to be at Springfield Mall after work? -Paul
[2002-06-25 09:50:07] - paul: Yeah I really really really wanna play drummania after work today. Adrian, maybe we'll see eachother, I'll probably be there at like 5:00 or so - aaron
[2002-06-25 09:48:58] - nudity is acceptable in some areas of some european countries. - mig
[2002-06-25 09:46:25] - what's so wrong with nudity? - mig
[2002-06-25 09:46:08] - play ddr early, then do homework early, then go to bed early. ~a
[2002-06-25 09:45:37] - Does anybody want to do something today? -Paul
[2002-06-25 09:39:37] - me too. even though i don't make pictures, i check it a couple times a day. ~a
[2002-06-25 09:37:36] - (###) (###) ---E ----O ..... Look, it's a waffle breakfast! ... i miss the oekaki board
- aaron[2002-06-25 09:35:11] - I guess I walked into that one, huh?
-Paul[2002-06-25 09:33:55] - damn. aaron beat me too it. ~a
[2002-06-25 09:33:42] - paul: depends on what you define as work. ~a
[2002-06-25 09:32:56] - paul: oh I think people would be very very busy! - aaron
[2002-06-25 09:32:45] - streaking is a fad that seems to have faded. ~a
[2002-06-25 09:32:32] - people on collage campus libraries didn't look twice at streakers running in and out. ~a
[2002-06-25 09:31:43] - aaron: If women showed their breasts and guys flashed their nuts, I don't think any work would get done.
-Paul[2002-06-25 09:30:34] - What? In which country? I don't think I believe that - aaron
[2002-06-25 09:28:52] - aaron: 30/40 years ago, they did. ~a
[2002-06-25 09:27:37] - If women can show their breasts in public, guys should be able to flash their nuts - aaron
[2002-06-25 09:27:03] - paul: i couldn't think of a synonym for doltish so i figured the implementation of wordnet in your brain could do the preprocessing for me. ~a
[2002-06-25 09:25:55] - man. no one in this company comments at all. ~a
[2002-06-25 09:25:12] - aaron: The United States, along with most other "civilised" countries
-Paul[2002-06-25 09:24:49] - 101.1 was pretty anti-breast-feeding. - aaron
[2002-06-25 09:23:57] - a: They seemed to side with the lady it seemed to me. What does "'wn doltish -synsa'" mean? -Paul
[2002-06-25 09:23:05] - paul: I know, because the US has decided boobs are a dirty area which kids don't need to see all the time, pretty much equating them with genitals as far as censorship and public decency stuff goes - aaron
[2002-06-25 09:21:31] - shirt and shoes required in most stores. ~a
[2002-06-25 09:20:38] - paul: the store was ok or the lady was ok? because if they sided with the lady, i'm not surprised guessing how `wn doltish -synsa` 1041 listeners are. ~a
[2002-06-25 09:18:31] - aaron: Well, there are lots of places where guys are allowed to not wear shirts while there are very few where women are allowed to not wear shirts. -Paul
[2002-06-25 09:15:10] - I don't think it's terribly gross, but c'mon, if guys are expected to wear shirts in most public places I don't think it's fair that women can have their boobs out - aaron
[2002-06-25 09:14:37] - aaron: I guess it was either a slow news day or a really hot topic then.
-Paul[2002-06-25 09:14:13] - a: The reason I ask is because it seems like a slim majority of people think that breast-feeding in public is ok (although I have absolutely no stats to back this up, just my perception) and I was wondering what you thought -Paul
[2002-06-25 09:12:53] - Paul: They were talking about it on 101.1 this morning too - aaron
[2002-06-25 09:12:19] - a: I think they were discussing it on 104.1 also, they talked to the lady who was asked to leave a store she was breast-feeding at. I think the hosts of that show all thought it was perfectly ok. -Paul
[2002-06-25 09:07:43] - yeah. although milf is a funny concept, it doesn't really happen that often. ~a
[2002-06-25 09:04:57] - indecent exposure =Þ -cryptic
[2002-06-25 09:04:13] - ummm. i think you should take it to the car. hehe. that's what they all said. i'm very against it. most people are. why are you asking me? ~a
[2002-06-25 09:03:28] - it seems like a hot topic. the radio was all worked up about it and now you ask me. ~a
[2002-06-25 09:01:34] - paul: does it have anything to do with 97.9 fm? they were talking about it on my break. ~a
[2002-06-25 08:44:22] - a: This may seem like a random question, but I assure you I have a reason to ask it. What do you think about women who breast-feed in public? -Paul
[2002-06-25 08:38:53] - i don't think you read the whole thing. ~a
[2002-06-25 08:38:24] - aaron, it's a joke. ~a
[2002-06-25 08:36:32] - katie! fix! ~a
[2002-06-25 08:26:22] - It used to be called "pagerank", did Sergey Brin get jealous? - aaron
[2002-06-25 07:03:42] - the only thing i got out of it was that chad allen was pretty hot. - wolf
[2002-06-25 06:57:53] - we made fun of the elevator theme song years before seanbaby did. WE RULED!!111etc - wolf
[2002-06-25 06:56:51] - re: straight up - i remember watching those video during "life skills" class in elementary school. - wolf
[2002-06-25 06:02:21] - yes, infinity hotel is a really good story, kristin. ~a

[2002-06-24 23:01:51] - mig: when was it? ~a
[2002-06-24 21:40:28] - a: pierce said he told you about it. - mig
[2002-06-24 20:36:37] - hmmm. someone mentioned cake to me. but i didn't know people were going. unless i forgot which is possible. ~a
[2002-06-24 20:19:01] - a: cake apparently played two weeks ago at the same place tmbg is playing. i missed it too
- vinnie[2002-06-24 20:06:37] - when did you go to see cake? ~a
[2002-06-24 18:20:16] - i might. word of cuation: get there early. when we went to see cake, they stopped letting people in about 1/2 before cake started playing. me pierce and lisa had to essentially break in to get in. - mig
[2002-06-24 16:39:41] - they might be giants playing this saturday in dc. i wanna go, who else? - vinnie
[2002-06-24 16:07:56] - http://www.seanbaby.com/stupid/straightup.htm so bad..... - mig
[2002-06-24 14:10:49] - That's the best headline pun I've seen in a very long time. 'Police fear wurst', hehe - aaron
[2002-06-24 12:35:17] - Damn, I missed the entire discussion about overweight people and airlines
