    Well, he lost in the 2nd round, missing "Halloween".

    He was pretty upset, and my wife was telling him about how she took 2nd one year in the spelling bee, mispelling the word roof. She supposedly, with absolute confidence, spelled it "R-U-F-E... roof."

    She was not intending that to be funny, but it did make my son smile a bit.
    No worries. He'll always have sports to fall back on.

    There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

        That fruit was so low it was practically low-lying.

        • Just saw this today. A NY photographer is doing a project to take strangers and have them pose in intimate situations. The results are very interesting.

          One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

              My wife really likes her Wacom stylus. She does all her book illustrations with it. I think hers is an older Bamboo model.

                    I'm busy salivating over his Tachihara 4x5 camera. His pictures are gorgeous.

                        Excellent humblebrag.

                        Wait till he's 16 and two months and wrecks your new car. (Don't wear barbed shoes when you remove those 13's out of his butt.)

                          What's a humblebrag about size 13s? As a fellow 13 wearer they are often the first size sold out of the best shoes.

                            Sounds like it's your time to help the program. Break out the HGH and finish things up right.

                            • For Nearly Two Decades the Nuclear Launch Code at all Minuteman Silos in the United States Was 00000000

                              Today I found out that during the height of the Cold War, the US military put such an emphasis on a rapid response to an attack on American soil, that to minimize any foreseeable delay in launching a nuclear missile, for nearly two decades they intentionally set the launch codes at every silo in the US to 8 zeroes.


                              We guess the first thing we need to address is how this even came to be in the first place. Well, in 1962 JFK signed the National Security Action Memorandum 160, which was supposed to ensure that every nuclear weapon the US had be fitted with a Permissive Action Link (PAL), basically a small device that ensured that the missile could only be launched with the right code and with the right authority.

                                There seems to be an old wives tell relating large feet to other above average pieces of anatomy.
