I think there's a law that at least one in every five businesses must be a bar. Lots of bars.

Bars do us no good, we're under 21.

My posts are gradually getting worse in grammar and spelling as the morning waxes on.

"The point of public relations slogans like "Support our troops" is that they don't mean anything... That's the whole point of good propaganda. You want to create a slogan that nobody's going to be against, and everybody's going to be for. Nobody knows what it means, because it doesn't mean anything. Its crucial value is that it diverts your attention from a question that does mean something: Do you support our policy? That's the one you're not allowed to talk about."-Noam Chomsky

Steven Pinker, wrote The Langauge Instinct and How the Mind Works. I thought you might have read them since they deal with linguistics

Doctorate at MIT, under Wheeler and then straight to Los Alamos with Openheimer. No Masters.

Many, Many things. Insomniac daymares for example. Not fun.

I've never had a daydream.

note: stupid 30 second rule.
 
  • #55
Question: Should I ever admit how long I spent trying to figure out what a daymare is?
 
  • #56
Admitting your problem is the first step to curing it.

I'm off to bed again. See you in 5.

Not at this time of day. I'm debating if its worth it to get two hours of sleep, or just say screw it and power charge through the day on coffee, coffee and more coffee.
