  • Hard News: Dunce Dunce Revolution,

    Now that I've reminded myself, if somebody needs me I'll be in the bathroom, crying.

    Tears still come to my eyes if I think about poor Dukie too much. Or Randy being let down by Carver. 'You gonna look out for me? You got my back, huh?' GOD. Series four ripped my cold, cynical heart out of my chest and stomped on it with steel-capped boots. (Yet it's my favourite.)

  • Field Theory: When First is Worst,

    I have some great colour slides (now jpegs) of my family being gleeful the last time Southland won the Ranfurly Shield - my grandparents even travelled to Taranaki to support the Southland team (who, um, lost the Shield again after one game). My grandfather, now perilously close to 91 years old, will no doubt tell me the story again when I visit him on Sunday. Bless.

  • Hard News: Dunce Dunce Revolution,

    The ability to identify words like "torrid", "sere", and "limpid" is, quite frankly, far more a test of how much old-school Trek fanfic I've been reading this week than native intelligence.

    Lucy, I dropped out of my US PhD programme after four years. All I have to comfort me is a useless postgrad diploma in my minor, Women's Studies, and my 'you are a 99th percentile badass' score in the verbal portion of the GRE. Don't take that small joy away from me, with all your logic and whatnot! Sob.

  • Hard News: Windows 7: Actually Not Bad,

    Dozens turned up. We had to pull one guy off - I swear he was crying with joy at his revenge on the misery this crock had caused his life...

    That reminds me of one of my favourite movie scenes ever, the destruction of the printer/fax in Office Space:

    God bless Mike Judge.

  • Hard News: Windows 7: Actually Not Bad,

    I am clearly the only person in the world running Vista on both a desktop and a laptop with no problems at all. I have never had a blue screen of death, a crashed anything, or issues with my three browsers and multiple tabs running concurrently. I feel deprived of prime bitching-on-the-internet possibilities!

    Oh Emma, I too am a Fry's lover. A... Fry's-sexual?

  • Speaker: How to Look Good as a Nazi,

    This might be an appropriate thread to place this link.

    Holy crap. That is amazing.

  • Hard News: Getting Across,

    I know 'provocative cynicism' is your schtick, Brickley, but... you're kind of just being an asshole now.

  • Hard News: Getting Across,

    Anyone who likes it is either subnormally intelligent, wilfully blind or hasn't travelled much.

    Oh good gravy. Do I now have to make a joke about a priori conceptions of what a city should be like?

    In Soviet Russia, student examine YOU!

    Awww, Rich, dorky high five! I thought I was the only one who still made Yakov Smirnoff jokes.
