Yeah, I’m ok with that sacrifice to avoid an Optimus Prime von Hammerpants.

In a perfect world, me. But it would probably be better if there was a body of 100 or so individuals of diverse backgrounds to make sure we aren’t excluding names for cultural reasons. Names could be submitted for approval. To weed out the Everleighs, the Sexiannas, the Khaleesis. And any names Jamie Oliver would pick.

I don’t know why people think it is acceptable to treat names like an opportunity for creativity, or fun. Names are serious business. And they aren’t a medium for self expression. If I name my dog after a type of pasta, who cares? But imagine having to give someone a business card with “Fusilli Feet” on it. I love Waterworld, but my kid will never have to put down “Mariner Feet” on a resume. My kid is not an extension of me, or my interests.

There should be a list of approved names for children.

I love monster of the week episodes. Those are my favorite X-Files episodes, too.

I still have the lanyard to my 128 MB PNY Attaché.

Ok, I have a few.

Potato and onion pierogies and maple syrup. So good.

Hot chocolate and buttered toast. Dip it.

Pizza with Mike’s Hot Honey. Maybe that’s not too weird, there’s a pizza place around here that offers that.

McDonald’s pancakes with an ice cream sundae dumped on them.

What did Red Lobster do?

What if they made it?

Yeah, the only mouse I have that does this I’d my Logitech T-BB-18 when I take the ball out.

Oh man, that’s the best part!

I like the look of a made bed. And the feeling of getting into a made bed.

Probably twice. Both relating to colonoscopy prepping.

38.73 megahands

I have a schnauzer + poodle = schnoodle named Ziti.

Yeah, three. One in the kitchen, one at the bottom of my basement stairs, and one in my laundry room.

I’d like to see a miniseries based off TRON 2.0.

Nothing, I guess I just never needed any spiritual support. I grew up an atheist, my parents never took me to any church or prayed or told any religious stories of any kind. Then suddenly, in high school, I decided to tell them I was non religious they were surprised. They said we are Methodists. Well, that’s news to me. Maybe you are, but I was never baptized or anything.

Funny thing, I also never got “the talk.” I managed to figure things out for myself there, too.

It was! I have hundreds of dollars in company apparel that my current company just gave us. Polos, fleeces, a Carhartt coat, a Weatherproof jacket, a 50 qt Coleman cooler. We’d get something every Christmas. So, paying for your own company merch seemed weird to me, but I still wanted some. I’m glad it worked out.

At my previous job, once a year they had a catalog of company merch. Nobody ever got it, because it was kind of over priced. Well, I had a good year and wanted a jacket and a zip up fleece. It was like, $160. My order comes, and I love it. I give the person in charge of said orders a check. Next day, she gives it back, saying they were having an issue cashing it internationally, or something. Because the company is headquartered in Canada. So, a week goes by and I ask if it was sorted out, or should I pay a different way. She said she’d let me know. Then, she quit. I was there another year, and nobody ever hunted me down for my $160. Then I quit. Free jacket and fleece.

I do have a small collection of parts that were manufactured or ordered incorrectly. They’re useless, and too small to be of any scrap value. I like them because they are so drastically different from the prints, it’s funny. Like, what were they thinking when they made these? I’ll probably bring them back ans toss them in the scrap bin before I leave this job.

Yeah. Brook makes a good adapter that supports modern controllers, as well as the PS3, so you can still get those pressure sensitive buttons. I use mine all the time, PS2 is pretty much the only console I play anymore.
