As lava flows go, the leakage of said lava in the late-Mesosopranno era was so great that the earth actually changed from being unipolar to bipolar, and thus set us on this track that we are on. It truly was the catalyst to push us into the Age of Aquarius.
 
Ok so if there's a grain of truth in most expressions who the fuck thought baptising with fire was a good idea?
Matthew 3:11
I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

The bible mentions being baptized by fire in several places, or baptized by suffering, mentioning that such suffering can purify the faith.

In other places (like 1 Peter 1:7), the allegory is shown that fire can purify gold, much like suffering can purify faith.

Stripped of it's religious context, the phrase has come to mean suffering through something difficult and coming out stronger on the other side.
 
and remembering my time at Fark.com, I just said, "Duke."
Dude... do you not remember the rest of that phrase from Fark?

The full phrase is "DUKE SUCKS."

EDIT: Along with other classic memes such as "France surrenders", "fb- is the father", "jailarity ensues", and "someone spilled beer on the server again."

Yeah, but it was the only university that was named by name.
 
PRESS PLAY ON TAPE

"Dammit, I forgot a comma. Now I have to reboot the whole machine and try again."
Back when I was 13 or 14, I was programming a BBS, which required doing a lot of memory tricks to make everything I wanted work on an apple 2+. Somewhere in all my fiddling, I accidentally disabled the floppy drive, so I ran to my room, grabbed my boombox and hooked it up to the computer to save my work before rebooting.

It amazed my stepfather.

Even way back in the day, my computers had two floppy drives. Both 5 1/4". A: and B:. Was a great big time saver for those games that had both a PLAY disk and a DATA disk.
 
The last few days have been hell because I haven't been able to take my allergy medication cause I had an allergy test today.
The results:
Birch, Ash, Elm, Poplar, Oak, Maple, Ragweed, Dust Mites, Cockroaches, Penicillium and Cladosporium Mold, Horse, Rabbit, Guinea Pig, Cat, Dog, Milk, Shrimp, Clam, Lobster, and Almonds.
Curiously, not Oyster or Crab. Crab was the shellfish that first alerted my family to my shellfish allergy so this is most surprising. Also it's not common to have allergies to only one or two of shrimp, crab and lobster. Generally you are either allergic to all three or you aren't.
The reactions to the shellfish were actually pretty mild considering the breathing problems I get when just being around the smell.

Somehow, I showed up as allergic to penicillium mold and they DIDN'T recommend getting tested for penicillin allergy? That doesn't seem right to me, so I've called them back about it.
Might be getting the weekly allergy shots again, too, if my insurance will cover it (Yes Americans- our social medicare does not cover everything, we still have insurance companies).

But FINALLY I can take my reactine again.

That's taking me back to grade school, when I thought my C64 was the business. I still love some of the games I had on there.
