Winning stuff rules!

They came with white hands and left with red hands.

I agree! I don't often win stuff. Maybe it's a good time to get the old lotto ticket that's still floating around my wallet checked.

My daughter won a kindle today for reading the most minutes over the summer. This is the second time she's won. She's in elementary school (kindergarten through 6th grade). She won the first time during the summer before first grade and again the summer before 3rd grade (she came in 2nd last year).

This probably doesn't sound particularly impressive unless you consider that she read more than any other student in the entire school, not just the 3rd grade.

I am very proud of her

That's fantastic. All I won for reading in elementary school was personal pizzas from Pizza Hut. Book It!

I won having to walk into a class of ten year olds to grab the books they were reading since I'd read the rest. I was seven. The horror.

Also I'm probably not going to be fired after Christmas! Woooooooooo

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

We had the same program in my school. They had to impose limits after a while

HiddenOne. You son of a bitch. You slimy, skulking, low-posting scumbag. You knew it would come to this. Roundabout, maybe. Tortuous, certainly. But here we are, you and me again. I started the train on you so many many hours ago, and now I'm going to finish it. Die HO. Die. This is for last time, and this is for this game too. This is for all the people who died to your backstabbing, treacherous, "I sure don't know what's going on around here" filthy lying, deceitful ways. You son of a bitch. Whatever happens, this is justice. For me, this is justice. Vote HiddenOne Finally, I am at peace.

I was so stunned I forgot to mention this yesterday.

new FIFA rankings came in, and Ukraine took 20th spot. Which was enough to edge out France by 1(!) point to become the 4th seeded team for the World Cup qualifiers UEFA playoffs draw.

This means our chances to make it to the finals have gone up exponentially--we can potentially draw 2 very beatable teams (Iceland + Romania), or Sweden where we got about 40-60 chances, which still isn't bad (considering how many goals Swedes have been letting in lately) Only almost certainly bad pairing would be France.

so, yeah, even a day later, I'm still pretty damn stoked about that.

The problem with the gene pool is that there's no lifeguard

Mezla it sounds like you were embroiled in some serious work drama. What happened that you had to give police statements? Don't you work in a lab?

I'm staying at the Hotel del Coronado in San Diego. This place is amazing. It was built I think in the 1880's. So much history. Look it up, neat place.

I think this is where Xanth from days of forum past used to work. Too bad he's not still around ever.

Edit:not Xanth. Optimus prime, whose other forum name was something like Xander or something

been frantically searching my youtube history for an ambient group I remember was pretty awesome, couldn't find it... some random thought put the name in my head, and here it is! such an awesome feeling.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Last week in this stupid job - doing nothing, it's awesome.

RLY - no police, just corporate lawyers over a Boardroom war of one co-founder trying to oust another in a disagreement over the future of the business and earning themselves a few tens of millions of pounds.

I grew a beard as a goof. But everyone at work loves it. So far it's earned: intellectual, mature, manly, sexy, and younger.

Problem is, the Mrs hates it.

OK, I think I got it, but just in case, can you say the whole thing over again? I wasn't really listening.
