Goddamn dragons!
You really should train that thing.
I just got a shirt in that I had ordered online. It was a bit more than I usually spend on clothes but I liked it. I wore it once and than I went to wash it. I washed it on warm/cold like its aid and than I put it in the dryer on permanent press and came back in about 30 minutes and realized the dryer felt hot for being on permanent press. So apparently the permanent press setting was not working and my shirt is not severely shrunken. I can still fit it but it is tight and doesn't nearly as nice 
Shirt too tight? Buy one of those stupid visor hats, pop your collar, and call everyone Bro.I just got a shirt in that I had ordered online.

You can salvage this. Buy a fedora, skinny jeans, and a vinyl player. Also, start reading Pitchfork.

Excellent. Just...excellent.
Edit: So excellent, in fact, that it is now part of my sig.
sorry, can't see the glasses with out leaning to an inch away from the screen.

Hipster glasses are supposed to have thick rims anyway.
My favorite book is the Necronomicon. You've probably never read it.
She read the Necronomicon before it was popular.
Those investigators just don't get where I'm coming from - they're too mainstream. R'L'Yeh mainstream...
That pun hurt my sanity.
Ia! Ftaghn!
GUSTO YOU LAZY ASS. IN NO WAY IS THAT GOOD ENOUGH. Vote now, vote often. Vote repeatedly. Steal people's identities and vote for them, repeatedly!

Only if you preface it with 97% of people won't have the guts to say this.
I spent over 12 hours wrestling with a microcontroller, assuming it was my software, or the linux VM, or the fact that I'm running it as a VM on windows 7, or, or, or... I looked at everything except the microcontroller itself.
Finally on a lark I swapped the microcontroller with a new one and Everything Just Works (TM).
Had I a shotgun and a back 40, it would be obliterated. As it is, I'm going to hang it up as a reminder to avoid assuming the hardware works.
The real kicker is that I can't, in good conscience, bill those hours to the client. I'll only be getting 6 hours for what took the better part of a week, for a project that should have been an easy afternoon task. It's also set me back on the other projects I have on my plate.
Still, it's good to have projects people are paying me for.

Hah, I knew I forgot something! Fantastic!!
I just had a tooth pulled... and I have to get another one done next week 
Pain hasn't started yet, but then again I'm still puffed up. Doctor said I had the strongest jaw he'd ever seen... the tooth just wouldn't come out. So it took like 10 minutes to get it pulled.
I was given a Vicodin prescription, so I'm probably going to be stoned out of my gourd tonight. Coincidentally, House is on tonight... I may wait till it's on to take my dose, just for shits. Then I can curse at Wilson and feel better about myself.
