finally, a chance to tell everyone else what you think.
Hans Blix was chosen unanimously today by whom to take what job? Bonus points: lay the odds he'll ever be able to fulfill his duties.
(Don't send me your answers. This is just a little way to expand your horizons. Honest.)
I caved in today and bought the Ultimate BB so that I could set up my own forums.
Part of my impetus for setting up a forum was jealousy of how much fun Beth, Pamie, and Ceej apparently have with their forums, and part of it was that I've either been unable or unwilling or both to keep up with my mail.
I've already set up a topic on weird fears and another topic for "Why Web Journals Suck." I will probably set up topics for movies I go to or even babies (so that those of you who don't want to read about babies know where to avoid).
Brent showed up this evening to work with Darin on the new D&D adventure they're developing -- my advice: "If you're going to play this, do it in early February, in case it takes a couple of weekends" -- and the first thing he tells us about is the news story he heard about the guy who tried the warm apple pie trick from American Pie.
With a pie fresh from the oven.
Oops.
Second-degree burns everywhere in the relevant area.
I know I don't have the right equipment, but I hurt something awful when I heard that story. And for some reason, Brent's explaining to me that the guy had to be, um, excited before even attempting to mate with the pie -- for some reason, that detail hadn't even occurred to me -- made it that much worse.
What cracks me up the most about this is...aren't guys notoriously protective of their equipment there? Wouldn't you think he'd think twice before attaching a hot sugary goo to...
Of course, if he was already excited, perhaps he didn't have enough blood going to his cerebellum.
I think this is a good time for us all to bow our heads and hope that this incident keeps him from spawning.
The answer to yesterday's question: Orrin Hatch, senator from Utah, has dropped out of the Republican race for President. What, you say? You didn't know he was running? Well, there's the problem then.
