Also, I'm kind of impressed that they deleted the "time of the month" post, but they left the one of me saying "fuck you" and "sit down and shut up" were the same level of civil.

So I go out onto the floor to deal with some real work and I come back to an arm full of puppies in the MP thread? That's not so much entertaining. (cute yes, but it doesn't hold my attention).

Also, computer woes:

My five year old macbook is very slowly getting senile, mostly on the internetz. I stopped using chrome a few months ago, because the google overlordz decided to stop providing updates for my OS, the flash player stopped being up to date, and every time I went to a website, a bar would pop up at the top telling me this fact.

So I moved to Firefox, which evidently gets like 8 mpg or something like that. Every time I watch any animation or go to a website with a lot of bells and whistles on Firefox, the fan starts whiring, and within five minutes the browser slows to the point of like a 5 second lag for every keystroke or mouse click. Not sure if this means that Russians have infiltrated teh Firefox or not, but this does not happen on Chrome.

So yeah, as soon as we've paid medical bills, paid for plane tix to jorb interviews, sold the condo, and gotten jobs, totally buying a new computer.

I do with that my old computer could act a bit more like my old truck, though, for the time being.

Oddly our PC laptop is older than your Mac (ours was bought when Nathan and I moved in together in the fall of 2005) and it's still going. Can't watch movies on it and the CD/DVD drive is broken, but still going.

That must of beed some good Russian porn you found.

I actually have a weke-end climbing report! Imagine that!

There was a climbing comp in Charleston this weekend. Yes, I know, it is ridiculous to drive 4 hours to a comp, but in this case it was a combination of wanting to check out that gym, and hanging out with friends afterwards, and the fact that there was no good climbing to be had anywhere within a day's drive, anyway...

Surprisingly, Heffe wanted to go, and actually brought it up. I was already psyched to go, so when he signed on, it was awesome. A in all, 5 of us went from Cle. Heffe and I, John, Becca and Sarah.

The bouldering gym they built there is REALLY cool. As in, I can't really think of any additions or improvements to the wall design/layout that would make it better. We are not talking the Spot, or any of those big-name places, but for a small co-op gym I have never seen anything that good. Big variety in a small place, very little unused space, and great padded floors.

I wasn't expecting much, since I have been doing little beside warmup/cooldown climbing with hangboard cycle. But it went pretty well.

[spray ]
I got 1xv6, 3xV5s, and 5xV4s. All V4s were flashes. And that got me 3rd place overall, in both flights combined.

My "ballpark" was N. from Columbus, also short, but strong. We climb about the same, and I was hoping to do about as well as she did. She climbed in the morning heat, but I checked the score sheet. She got 1900, I got 2480. So I think that was good.

There were lots of strong people there, which was cool. The top guys where flashing V9/V10s.

Of course, the routes were reachy... I mean, they SAID they weren't reachy, and they weren't VERY reachy... as in, I only jumped 3 times in the course of one V4. But you know, there were more than 3 moves in that V4, so not EVERY move was reachy. And I only had to jump once per two other V4s and use footholds for handholds on two V5s, and jump once on the other V5. But other than that, no, not reachy at all.

Hung out with Banz and co after the comp, drove home this morning. GUD times!

A liberal Muslim homosexual ACLU lawyer professor and abortion doctor was teaching a class on Karl Marx.

“Before class begins, you must all get on your knees and worship Marx and accept that he is the most highly-evolved being in history, even greater than Jesus Christ!”, said the professor.

It was then that a brave, patriotic, pro-life Navy SEAL/NASCAR champion who served over 12 million tours of duty and understood the necessity of war and supported every military decision ever made by the United States stood up and held up a rock.

“How old is this rock?” he asked.

The arrogant professor smirked quite smugly and Jewishly and said “4.6 billion years, you stupid Christian!” and the class laughed and laughed.

But then the Navy SEAL said “You’re wrong! God created this rock 5,000 years ago! If, as you say, evolution is true and this rock is 4.6 billion years old, it should have turned into an animal by now”

The professor was visibly shaken. He dropped his chalk and his copy of The Origin of Species, and stormed out of the lecture hall crying liberal crocodile tears.

The students all applauded and registered Republican that very day while simultaneously accepting Jesus Christ as their lord and savior. An eagle named “Small Government” flew into the room and perched atop an American flag that the professor had forgotten to burn. The Pledge of Allegiance was read several times. God himself walked into the classroom and enacted a flat tax across the land.

The professor lost his tenure and was fired. He then died of the gay plague AIDS, and is spending eternity in a lake of hellfire.

And what was that Navy SEAL’s name? Albert Einstein.

Amen. Semper Fi. God Bless America. Drill, Baby, Drill.

Racist! Let's not jump to conclusion about camhat's pron preferences.

I am, however, willing to consider the fact that camhead with his liberal arts education may not have known how to use an incognito mode...

And I don't want to jinx myself, but my laptop is aslo older than camhead's, and also not a mac, and also seems not to suffer from planned obsolescence just yet.
