On the subject of long lunches and parties an' stuff...
We got a flier through the mail the other day entitled "The Inside Great Party Guide" We struggled to fathom what kind of advertising this was that mentioned no products or services, then we got a clue.Keep an eye on how much people are drinking. The best time to do something to make sure your guests have a great time and don't go too far with alcohol is early on and before they get too drunk rather that waiting until they have had too much.
Have some activities planned so people don't resort to knocking back heaps of alcohol to escape the boredom.Thanks ALAC, if you think my parties are boring I won't ask you to the next one.

I say, anyone for Tennyson?
Whilst we are spouting claptrap may I remind you what Alf said about the iPad as he mused into the mirror?Our little systems have their day;
They have their day and cease to be:
They are but broken lights of thee,
And thou, O Lord, art more than they.Obviously thought more of himself than a mere device. A man before his time indeed.

Which you could also do so's noseone haz to look at your nazal hairz if it had a front facing camera for the video callz.

Fanboy Disorder. Definitely the prince of Internet psych maladies, Fanboy Disorder has been scientifically shown to be 47 percent more awesome than Generalized Trolling Compulsion. It has no downside—unless you consider being "too awesome" a downside (and you don't, do you?). Seriously, Generalized Trolling Disorder can just go [expletive] itself. I mean, we all know that only losers are trolls. Also, I saw this thing on the Internet once about how those with Fanboy Disorder scored like 20 points higher on IQ tests.

You mean credit cards?
Well, all mine seems to do is suck quietly on my bank account. I want one that will stream all my media, keep in touch with everybody, make my coffee in the mornings whilst formatting my thesis as I read the news and post on PAS. Amongst other things..
Not much to ask, is it?. -
Why can't we all just ... get a life?
This is not my life?
Now, about those credit card sized "Do Everything" devices... -
It will be "Himalaya" "He tells the truth!" next.
Yes, well, then it will be Irish Lawyers.

Ah, yes, true, but it was a bit confusing when he went to the right of the dashboard to look at 'my GPS'
My thought there was why would the passenger need his own GPS? but then I thought he may have just been a Navigator and then "What do you call someone who knows all the back routes, an Alleygator?" and then I just stopped thinking cos it hurt.
