Namecheck!

eloren pointed this quiz to me:


You are the dark side of geek. No Star-Wars trivia
goes un-answered, No spock ears unworn, no
tarot cards unread, no 10 sided die unrolled.
You are completely in the culture of geekdom.
Just be sure that you choose to be there
because you like it, not that you can’t handle
dealing with ‘normal’ people.

how seriously geeky are you?

I was especially tickled by the “What music are you most likely to listen to?” question, featuring one of our own mentioned by name. 🙂

Always Something There To Remind Me…

Meme vectored from nrivkis:

Post a memory of me in the comments. It can be anything you want. Then, of course, post this to your journal and see what people remember of you.

…in bed?

Had a wonderful lunch at a newish chinese place with eloren, kitanzi, and maedbh7. My fortune cookie read:

“Genius does what it must, and talent does what it can.” 🙂

Riddle me, Riddle me

Herewith are the questions I have been asked so far, and some musing on the answers.

Three Questions Meme

Yes, it’s that time again, the time where I put YOU in the drivers seat. This time, as vectored from riba_rambles, the questions to be asked are three.

I want everyone who reads this to ask me 3 questions, no more, no less. Ask me anything you want. Then I want you to go to your journal, copy and paste this allowing your friends (including myself) to ask you anything.

So ask away. I needed some stuff to talk about anyway. 🙂

Hysterical LOTR rant

Vectored from dglenn:

The Rant of Sauron


Good evening, mortals, I’d like to introduce myself.
I’m Sauron,the Lord of the Rings.
Caught the title, did you? I should expect so. Most of
you idiots might remember the title to the movie with
Frodo, Legolas, and/or Aragorn in it. Which is why
we’re going to have a little conversation.
*I* am the Lord of the Rings. Not some midget with
hairy feet and blue eyes the size of saucer plates.
Not some pretty boy with pointy ears and a blond wig.
Not some loser king-turned-ranger-turned-king badly n
need of a haircut and a shave. Me. Sauron. The
Deceiver. The real honest-to-Tolkien Lord of the
Rings.

I don’t mean to complain. I’m glad you came to see my
movie. But you seem to have lost focus. The bloody
movie is named after ME!! It’s not “Midget Carrying A
Ring,” or “Cute Elf Boy,” or “Sexy Ranger.” It’s “Lord
of the Rings.” If it was about one of the above, I’m
sure they would have renamed it to “The Ringbearer,”
or some other flowery title.

A bit of this or that…

This Just In…

I posted this back in 2002, because I liked it, and I think it’s worth repeating again during these uncertain times:

Seething Bilious Hate, Down 3% – Where is all the good news? Why is the media so obsessed with horror and misery? Herein, some possible salve

Now we know…

…what they do with all the really good drugs that they confiscate from folks trying to traffic narcotics through the mail. They give them to stamp artists, who come up with designs like this upcoming stamp honouring Buckminster Fuller

Eh…?

Running “apt-get upgrade” on my work box, and one of the packages it was updating was “bsdmainutils”. Somehow, I misread that as “bdsmutils” and wondered “When did I install that?”.

And what sort of bdsm tools would you want under Linux, assuming that was the sort of thing you were into anyway?
