    Shit, I thought you had to wish to be a genie to do that.

    I'm probably not cut out for this wishing crap.

    Man, you wish to become a genie and it's all downhill from there: You're stuck in a lamp. Let's be honest, a lamp is the Section 8 housing of the Elemental world.

    Then you're waiting for a customer for a century at a time.

    Then you finally get to pop out and grant a wish and the guy's like, "You don't even sound like Robin Williams."

    Forget it!

    Also D&D.

    A proper wish is really just an extension of good contract law. Unless there's a page limit on your wish you're probably in the clear.

    Hey.

    Why is it that whenever i get dumped. The lady just stops talking to me.

    then resumes talking to me a few weeks later as if nothing happened other than we are definitely no longer a thing?

    There is probably a book saying it's the easier way to let a guy down or some other bullshit, who knows.

    it is not. it is confusing.

    I think you and I are going to have a disagreement on this point.

    I would wish for more arable land in countries currently facing starvation. Enough that families could grow enough for themselves without having to rely on dictatorial regimes to share food drops. It wouldn't solve all the problems, but it would form a better base for the people.

    i made up the hebraic fellatio thing

    i'm starting to wonder how much of this weekend actually happened

    like, did you know that i spit in your mouth while you were sleeping on the train?

    also...

    ---

    how's this?

    bama and i are on the train trying to figure out how to tether my iphone to his netbook. he doesn't have the client for a USB tether and for some reason we can't figure out how to make an ad hoc network on his netbook. we're looking in every corner of win7's network preferences until bama considers that win7 starter edition may not allow this type of link. finally we google on my phone and discover bama is right but there is still a latent ad hoc mechanism in the file system, so using search we find the initiator. then we were online and i noticed a few people sort of dirty-looking us, i guess because we WEP protected the network and all the other nerds wanted access

    it was kind of funny in retrospect that two people from a geek forum, one being a software engineer, huddled around the two gadgets for twenty minutes trying to figure it out

    It's a 1970s three-speed folding bike:

    It was a ridiculously popular shopper bike and now they have a kind of cult popularity with utility cyclists because if you find a good one they'll run forever with minimal maintenance.
