What were you running for?

Personally, I think it's great that neb speaks regularly with his mother.

"[W]hilst"?

Sure, why not?

Hand stretching.

I don't know the old "I want your speed".

The old-timers are getting old enough to be forgetful.

A mere thirteen years ago.

Hang around long enough and you'll be able to refer to things that happened long ago.

So, in things that don't suck in this shit world:

I've studied ballet dancers.

As did Degas' pet otter

That otter is going to follow me all over the internet now.

It's not made in China, the box top is legible.

Damn you wlfsn, I had to work for my 180 degrees first.

4: You're a true artisan, Mobes.

At least I am aware of some history.

Hey Bay Area: Moe's at 7 tonight.

Chipotle is better by a lot.
