I'm taking a day, people. If anyone needs me, I'll be watching O Brother Where Art Thou and eating ice cream.

I'm here. And HOLY SHIT! MATH+1 is global??!?!?

How can I be penitential for my week without internet access. Mike, I bet you are full of hate. But how was Europe??

T! There is much frenzy over the passions dress. Everyone wants to see it. I was mum.

Hey, I wouldn't be checking the Internet at the beach either.

Europe was great. I'm glad to be back, though. Three weeks was exactly the right amount of time ... we got to see a lot, and came home before we all killed each other.

I feel like we did so much in a week. I can't imagine having been there for three. You must have 87 rolls of film! Did you actually run with the bulls, or just watch them?

-- Anonymous, August 02, 2001

Only nine rolls.

We just watched. I'd run with the bulls next time, although I'd also not stay up all night drinking beforehand.

I only had about five rolls, Mike.

SHIT! Why do I only now think to recommend the Mas Creama restaurant? Next time.

How was the weather?

I love how you said MATH is global. It's true.

Y'all... the cable modem... working... tears of joy....

The speed at which I am now commmunicating is dizzying.

Of course, I am going to have to get a much longer cable, because the modem is stupidly located and I have to move one of my chairs practically into the corner to avoid sitting on the floor.

But, no matter. I am just glad the Effing thing works.

This is a thrilling change.

Y'all, the forum is great, but don't you think we should try and reign- in the chattiness? I mean, it's like we started a forum so people could come in and talk about how great we are.

Granted, that's a nice bonus, but I know we don't want to get a DUMB Club reputation. Just a concern. I think the threads should get on- topic.

What do y'all think?

-- Anonymous, August 02, 2001



Well, rein 'em in, baby. I'm totally with you on the non-DUMBness of our spectacular forum.

Although the little ego boosts I keep seeing here and there sure are nice.

I agree Al. Problem with greenspun is that you can't "close" threads to start over.

Ha ha! I get back in!

-- Anonymous, August 02, 2001

Right. We'll just have to pay attention.

Y'all, now that I'm all speedy... I am in such a better mood.

-- Anonymous, August 02, 2001


So what constitutes "chattiness"? I haven't seen much of it today. And what to we do to rein it in? Just veer the thread back on topic?

Do we get to say "Okay, to get back on topic.." a lot?

I think the Jordan thread was too chatty. Stuff liek that, right?

-- Anonymous, August 02, 2001

I'm going to Barnes & Noble to see if I can find that documentary. I can't stop thinking about it! God, I hate a one-track mind.

Be back in a little while.

See, I don't really have a problem with the chattiness. It's not like padding or anything.

In other news, I am sitting here watching A Baby Story on TLC and DAMN, PEOPLE.... This woman is giving birth, in a pool, in her house, ON TELEVISION.

How could I've forgotten about a Wedding Story?! I hate myself. But I was watching O, Brother. That's a good excuse, right?

-- Anonymous, August 02, 2001

Haha! I find it! West Memphis Three is MINE!

Perseverance counts, y'all. I went to four different places.

-- Anonymous, August 02, 2001


All the Wedding Stories sucked today, anyway. WAIT. I forgot. There was a Rennaissance Fair one. That one was truly hilarious. But sweet, you know, in a Seest way.

You know, I'm sorry, but I've tried to read Squishettes. I have. But it gives me a headache every damn time. And could they be ripping off pam anymore? They revived the donkey thread. The _donkey_ thread.
