1:06 : zeb : I wonder if it says "al'Qaeda Confidential - Do Not Distribute" at the bottom of every slide
1:07 : ignatzmous : In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful, here is my presentation entitled: Communicating Bad News
1:07 : You couldn't use "confused guy" clip art because it's an entire stick figure dude, either
1:08 : "Here I illustrate the necessity for the total destruction of the Great Satan with an amusing cartoon, in which all the heads have been removed."
1:08 : zeb : "This is the roadmap for 2006-7, as you can see many exciting developments coming in the jihad, and this is only what is disclosable, and Allah knows best"
1:10 : And it is Allah's law that whole-page wipes are halal, and the clockwise wipe is haram, and the dissolve is mukrooh, and so it shall not be done, says Allah (His Name Be Praised)
1:12 : ignatzmous : Insh'allah, the details of implementation and the timeline for rollout and most of all the pricing shall be revealed, but not in this day or this time, and certainly not by the the humble servant of Allah who brings only this presentation.

2) If you're stuck on Mac OS 9, iCab appears to do everything necessary to make the site work. At least the equivalent version for OS X does, and I believe they're feature-equivalent.
3) IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, INVOLVE A COW

Went to pick up my mother at LAX. International Arrivals is great people watching. Today was also the day of Themed Plane Arrivals:
My mom's flight was Singapore Airlines from Tokyo/Narita. Almost all of the passengers were Japanese business guys who immediately pulled the cellphone out of one pocket and the cigarettes out of another and rushed outside to use both. One spiky haired young Japanese guy wearing stripy weird clothing and Vans was met by an obsequious limo driver.
An Aeromexico flight from Guadalajara brought what looked like about 50 Mexican art students. All of them were about 20 and most of them were carrying some kind of portfolio. I think it's time we woke up to the danger here. All those art students are swarming across the border and taking our barista jobs and/or seats at the coffeehouse where they can whine about not making it.
Finally an El Al jet disgorged lots of beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Jew girls all of whom had long flowing dark hair, big earrings, classic Mediterranean features, and huge smiles. They strode happily down the ramp and were immediately intercepted by nervous men in yarmulkes before the rest of us could get at them.
There was also a Sikh family of about 25 who all greeted each other expansively with a factorial number of hugs exactly in the gangway so no one could get through. This happens each time and I suspect it's the same family.

DougDoug is finding his spiritual path
Jan. 25th, 2006 02:49 pmCombine "A Summoner's Tale", the Sloar Speech from Ghostbusters, the SF Channel Mentat Commercial, and every gamer dork ever, and you'll have the cast of Fear of Girls. These guys are just a little bit too good. Thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

The real question that needs answering is: That's fine if you're into BDSM, but why do you have to mix up your sex life with boring shitty series fantasy novels from the 70s?

Inexplicable error message du jour

in_delmulti - ignorning invalid inm (0x656e00c0)The guy who does the excellent Vinyl Mine mp3blog has a similarly named flickr page with some great photos from the 1980s.
Gotta love this combo: Molly Ringwald on the guitar, Smiths T-shirt, and Dag Nasty shorts. That has to be around 1985-6.

They're holding the line in Newton, MA
