Why, thank you, kenny!

I do indeed have a great deal of insight.

I can't speak for the few other sentient lifeforms on the planet, yourself included, my antique friend, but I am getting tired of waiting for an actual sentient lifeform to evolve out of humanity.
I think we should just admit that we are the keepers in a very big zoo!

For me the Fedora dist goes something like this

Sex.

It's all pleasant-feeling and squishy and tingly and what-have-you.
Trouble is, if you're not careful about how you go about it, you can catch some pretty unpleasant infections off people, which can make your bits ooze an unpleasantly smelly discharge, or can completely screw up your insides. Delightful!

Thank the stars then for John "Jack" Sterling, worn-down Captain of the oh-so-useless 'Foxtrot Squad'. It's up to you to take charge and lead your squad in and around people's private parts, clearing them of all manner of pesky and dangerous critters, oozes and bosses.

kennyc · 10-01-2010, 05:07 PM

ummmm......okay......

new topic, what's for dinner....

I'm going for the fried okra tonight Shel.

recluse · 10-01-2010, 05:09 PM

I'm kinda glad you're monogamous too, Shel!

I'm really glad I don't touch people at all!

Okra is the vegetable filled with snot, right?

Nah, I'm hopelessly addicted to both versions of books. There's just something aesthetically pleasing seeing a shelf of books. At the very least it impresses visitors, but to me they are like old friends. I can never part with a book once I've added it to my collection.

I can, in fact I have bunch of old outdated programming books and college texts that need to go....interestingly the literature texts are still relevant.

This is a surprise? Computer and programming texts go out of date very rapidly. Literature texts don't.

I've seen a number of literature texts that are no longer relevant.

Generally in the fringe areas of literature.

The point though is, why couldn't the computer field be the same? Will it be at some point? The

is not for the fact that it's true, but the bigger picture.

Really... a house full of books doesn't impress me any more than a BMW in the driveway.

I wouldn't say that a wall of books actually impresses me, but it would leave me with a better lasting impression than say an equal size shelf full of porn.

The same with the BMW. Might not be impressive simply for the model of the car, but a well taken care of auto is much better than seeing a beater that is held together with metal twine and has a collection of stickers with wonderful sayings such as "Am I a member of the NRA? Beep at me and find out."

Well "no longer relevant" and "out of date" don't mean precisely the same thing.

How could it be? Technology advances. The state of the art system is what's sitting on an engineer's test bench. What you buy is obsolete before you take it home from the store.

Software and programming are likewise. I have a few computer texts that are relatively timeless, but most date very quickly.

trying to wind down and go to sleep. we have our annual co-op fall fair tomorrow and the set up was today. this was after having to go to the puppy park and be trained in bathroom maintenance by the parks department so we will have access to the bathroom through the winter months. I guess my DD214 showing I was honourably discharged from the Army wasn't good enough. there is certainly a LOT of bathroom cleaning there! anyway... I am to pick someone up at 6:45 for more fair prep in the morning. been awhile since I was answerable to an alarm clock.

waiting for the yawns...
