s be replaced by something else for the title and the author? I wouldn't think they'd use the same font size for the title as they would the print.

I don't know if I can believe anything they say now.

I can't picture you throwing tantrums. Did your parents sedate you afterwards to establish getting mad=not getting mad? If so, that's what I'm doing with my kids. It's all about establishing a routine.

I guess I need to go to Costco and look into snakepits.

#231) Wednesday, November 16, 2005
Were those entries on the blue paper real? I mean, come on.

#232) Friday, November 18, 2005
You've been listening to too much XM Comedy.

I want a puppy.

#233) Monday, November 21, 2005
Uhm, I'd like to file a class action lawsuit against all the parents for child endangerment. How 'bout you watch your kids? How's that sound?

#234) Tuesday, November 22, 2005
Wow. I didn't think there'd be any comments today. Shows what I know.

#235) Tuesday, November 22, 2005
Oh come on--that was very insightful.

#236) Wednesday, November 23, 2005
I wish it had been called Wednesday Wagments to highlight the pet news.

#237) Wednesday, November 23, 2005
What about Wednesday's Wagments?

#238) Monday, November 28, 2005
At least we didn't lose to Miami.

#239) Monday, November 28, 2005
Don't go soft on us now Rob. Just because you're at a new school with a new football team doesn't mean you can point out our obvious flaws.

#240) Monday, November 28, 2005
What the hell does this Edit button do? All it says is, "Your post is absolutely perfect now".

Even when I type in Booty Sucks.

#241) Wednesday, November 30, 2005
I can't believe LL Bean let you take a photo of his blue lights.

#242) Friday, December 02, 2005
VT isn't playing tonight.

#243) Friday, December 02, 2005
Boy, you can't even win with your receivers running out and back in bounds and your corners interfering with our passes.

Enjoy the Emerald Bowl.

#244) Monday, December 05, 2005
Arafi hated being the assistant conductor but he knew without him the Mosul Symphony would never get through Beethoven 3.

#245) Monday, December 05, 2005
I just want the free trip.

#246) Tuesday, December 06, 2005
Long entries about musicals don't get comments. Remember that.

#247) Tuesday, December 06, 2005
That would explain this cold weather we're having.

#248) Friday, December 09, 2005
I am not ashamed to admit that I cast a single vote for myself.

And yes, I did recruit but none of my traffic transfers over anyway.

I just want a free trip (or a pencil picture).

#249) Wednesday, December 14, 2005
Same goes for Musicals.

#250) Thursday, December 15, 2005
You're right about rhythm.

It might not be too late for you.

#251) Friday, December 16, 2005
How many more Java Developer Certifications do you need? Do they go on forever?

#252) Friday, December 16, 2005
I think Burkina might make more headlines if they could add a T to the middle of their first name.

#253) Friday, December 16, 2005
Burkina Fatso. We were looking for Burkina Fatso.

#254) Friday, December 16, 2005
I like how the Pirate one tries to give one of them a peg leg but it comes off as like a peg leg with claws.

#255) Wednesday, December 14, 2005
That was enough to content to build a Page Rank 4 site in and of itself.

#256) Monday, December 19, 2005
I can't wait for the rest of the week's entries...

Tuesdays What's in my pocket?

Wednesdays What's in my bellybutton?

Thursdays What's between my teeth?

And, you know, Fragment Friday.

Go State!

#257) Friday, December 30, 2005
Oh get married already...at least let go of the smilies :pppp

#258) Friday, January 06, 2006
Bye Marcus. It's been real.

#259) Friday, January 06, 2006
I'll be pissed if someone takes him in the NFL draft. Nothing like rewarding horrible behavior.

#260) Monday, January 09, 2006
I have to agree with Kim--you were probably the last person not living in Burkina Faso that didn't know Ring of Fire.

The last see-worthy movie I saw was Titanic. Get it?

#261) Monday, January 09, 2006
You've got your work cut out for you. Good luck.

#262) Friday, January 06, 2006
It's not too late to root for FSU.

#263) Tuesday, January 10, 2006
Yeah, you need to *.js the entries this week to be hidden so some of us can skip right to the links.

#264) Wednesday, January 11, 2006
They're more fun as they get harder--you can't really take pride in solving one that has 80% of the numbers filled in but when the whole board only has eight or nine numbers to start you feel smart when you solve it.

#265) Wednesday, January 18, 2006
I still have never been on roller skates (or ice skates for that matter). Thanks for helping me get over my fears.

#266) Wednesday, January 18, 2006
Don't do it. Stay with the snow bunnies. I mean, come on.

#267) Thursday, January 19, 2006
I think it's a full moon or something because Chompy has been eating much the past couple of days either. But she's been normal in every other way.

#268) Thursday, January 19, 2006
I first heard (and used) "honk" in 1997.

#269) Monday, January 23, 2006
you'll be pleased to know the hand transplant I received right before that picture was taken has been wholly successful. At first they weren't sure if giving me the untanned hand of an royal family member would be rejected by my body but fortunately it wasn't.

#270) Monday, January 23, 2006
I guess Kathy was right--I shouldn't sit on my hands when I go to the beach.

#271) Monday, February 06, 2006
Yeah, what Kelley said.

#272) Tuesday, February 07, 2006
you'll be a CJ Performer in no time. Great concept.

#273) Thursday, February 09, 2006
Pow!.

I admit that I cheated; I just wanted the bonus geek points.

How many were you?

#280) Friday, February 24, 2006
I never understood Strangers with Candy either. The main woman in that show, though, is Amy Sedaris. I mention that only because her brother (David) is the single greatest writer on the planet.

#281) Monday, February 27, 2006
I have to admit that I only read the last paragraph but since I did read that one I think you should move to Hollywood and make movies.

#282) Tuesday, February 28, 2006
You're right--I think everyones whose gone up to speak has had a colon.

#283) Tuesday, March 07, 2006
zzz...

need more stories about your road rage.

#284) Thursday, March 09, 2006
That picture brings a smile to my face.

#285) Monday, March 13, 2006
...covered with hair?

I know you're jealous of my killer stats. And pie charts.

Hi Rob!

#286) Tuesday, March 14, 2006
I forgot about the Monster.

I think Strip War will probably get you where you want to go if you know what I'm saying. And I think you do.

#287) Wednesday, March 15, 2006
This was the best update ever.

#288) Thursday, March 16, 2006
Adam Sandler? I thought we had agreed upon Russell Crowe.

#289) Thursday, March 16, 2006
Ok, Adam Sandler might ACT me better than Mr. Crowe but what about looks??


#290) Wednesday, March 22, 2006
Boy did I pick the wrong day to buy The Urizone.

#291) Tuesday, March 21, 2006
How is it possible you don't have 100% positive feedback?

#292) Thursday, March 23, 2006
Great update. $2.83/hr...just to live. Wow.

#293) Monday, April 03, 2006
I'm not that cynical although I do enjoy seeing my name is posts.

#294) Monday, April 03, 2006
Oh man, where's that edit button...

#295) Tuesday, April 04, 2006
Java's dead dude.

#296) Wednesday, April 05, 2006
haha, snakes on a plane. I forgot about that.

#297) Thursday, April 06, 2006
What are examples 2 and 3? I totally can't place either of them.

#298) Tuesday, April 11, 2006
Ditto.

#299) Tuesday, April 11, 2006
I don't know how you could have only gotten 2nd if you were singing the words while playing your cornet. In my elementary/middle school no one played trumpets because they were "too loud".

#300) Thursday, April 13, 2006
I was awed by the level of thrills and excitement in your day.

#301) Friday, April 14, 2006
Your Cookie Crips picture made me laugh out loud this morning.

#302) Monday, April 17, 2006
Happy birthday. Maybe one day the rest of us can see your face.

#303) Friday, April 28, 2006
I switched back from Clear Type after about a month. I don't like how, especially on LCD monitors, it makes non-bold fonts really grainy.

#304) Tuesday, May 02, 2006
We had to have a capella sing a longs so I don't want to hear any complaining from anyone.

haha, throwing virtual bombs at virtual landmarks. Mount Rushmore! 1up!

#305) Thursday, May 11, 2006
The longer clips are there just to remind you that you're stupid. AT least that's what they reminded me of...they were all like, "Hey. You're dumb."

#306) Friday, June 09, 2006
As a faux Geek I'd vote AJAX even though RoR might seem more familiar initially.

#307) Monday, June 19, 2006
Boy, that was some father's day present you got him. Hey dad--fix my house.

#308) Tuesday, June 27, 2006
Three cheers for the Kim branch. We rule.

#309) Monday, August 07, 2006
I can tell you right now that I've already uried some hotties.

#310) Monday, August 07, 2006
I would avoid "URInated" if I could at all help it. Sorry Rob.

#311) Monday, August 07, 2006
Apparently so.

#312) Wednesday, August 16, 2006
There is some serious ballot stuffing going on. I need to rig this election in my favor.

#313) Monday, August 21, 2006
#9 was pretty good.

#314) Wednesday, August 23, 2006
My karate instructor told me to watch History of Violence because it has a perfectly executed Tiger Mouth kenpo.

Pretend like you know what that is and then tell me if it's true.

#315) Wednesday, August 23, 2006
When I did it the place where I take kenpo comes up first.

#316) Tuesday, September 05, 2006
I think Popeyes would probably give you a discount if you were to spend over $100b there so you could probably get more than 22b meals with your discounted rate.

#317) Tuesday, September 12, 2006
The 4 x 4 x 4 passage to the attic.

#318) Friday, September 15, 2006
Happy Birthday!

I thought after last year's teaser we'd see you fully nude this time.

#319) Friday, October 06, 2006
Poor Booty and Lake are getting whomped in today's vote.

#320) Monday, October 09, 2006
Thanks Brian. I need to get you some newer pictures.

#321) Wednesday, October 11, 2006
All this time I thought Ellen was a girl. According to picture three she is an upright goat with a big red horn.

#322) Monday, November 06, 2006
He's not afraid to kiss babies or own dogs to earn public favour. And because he's so efficient, hell probably just kiss a baby dog. <--hahaha, you got my vote

#323) Wednesday, January 17, 2007
I'd bet on #1 actually happening.

#324) Wednesday, January 17, 2007
hahaha. I'm totally using that one at work today.

#325) Friday, February 16, 2007
I already know what's in your messy drawers.

#326) Friday, February 16, 2007
It's easy to burn you when the burnee already burned you with it.

#327) Wednesday, February 28, 2007
Yeah right there are no aliens. You guys probably have XML taxonomy for different classes of their stolen ships and misshapen body parts.


true



#328) Thursday, March 01, 2007
haha, Bridge May Be Spicy.

#329) Wednesday, March 14, 2007
Good. God. That's. Hard.

#330) Wednesday, March 14, 2007
It's official. I know 0 of them. And I've played thousands of hours of rock music sitting right next to the bass.

#331) Thursday, March 15, 2007
I think the majority of inspiration comes from a tiny snippet from something existing. You might only need to hear an interval placed a certain way but once you do you can sometimes write a whole pieces from that little, stolen chunk.`

#332) Thursday, March 15, 2007
That's gross.

#333) Wednesday, March 21, 2007
Way to go Kathy!

It's amazing how poorly my brain phrased those lines. Once you see what song you know where all the beats go and I'm embarrassed to think how many songs I started on beats other than 1.

#334) Thursday, March 22, 2007
Remember, before Babelfish, when all we had was Bob Dylan for lines like that?

#335) Tuesday, April 03, 2007
When Chris and Mike were visiting over Spring Break we went out with some of their friends and one them was caught by TurnItIn. Now, at the bottom of his transcripts it says "STUDENT DISCIPLINED FOR PLAGIARIZING".

When Google comes to your site if you have an exact match of something like 75% (it has to be verbatim, Dr. Fire Pit), that it already has indexed it penalizes your site--so make your stealing occurs with fresh material because if you get indexed first, then the original writer is the thief.

#336) Tuesday, April 03, 2007
I know John Fogarty (of CCR) was sued by CCRs record label (after he went solo) for writing a song that was apparently too similar to a CCR one without giving them any credit (royalties).

#337) Monday, April 16, 2007
What's the year on that?

#338) Thursday, April 19, 2007
But that's only because you haven't mastered using the toilet yet.

#339) Thursday, April 19, 2007
Bobby is totally a "pedafile". Nothing screams underage boys like 300 pound, steroid-filled football players.

#340) Monday, April 23, 2007
haha, Maxx Attack. That brings me back. That guy was lucky I didn't know kenpo then because man, I could have really avenged Marks broken orbital bone.

#341) Tuesday, April 24, 2007
I'm sorry Booty, but I would kick your butt in fight, even if a baby with heartburn were riding on your back slashing at me with a Wii controller.

#342) Tuesday, April 24, 2007
Oh, it's already been broughten.

#343) Wednesday, May 02, 2007
"Inside this envelope, you are first greeted by a tiny sliver of tissue paper, which is too small to catch any happy tears you might cry"

might be the funniest thing you've ever written.

#344) Wednesday, May 02, 2007
hahaha, I forgot about the golem.

#345) Friday, May 04, 2007
I was going to say "point and moldy...haha" but man your new icon is just too funny. haha

#346) Monday, May 07, 2007
Now if memory serves, if you submitted you get to vote for yours and the one a lot more funny than yours right?

#347) Monday, May 07, 2007
God your icon picture is funny. That would have won.

#348) Thursday, May 17, 2007
B+?!

I think anyone who has ever done anything artistic should watch it just to see Claire.

#349) Tuesday, May 22, 2007
Yeah, that's a keeper.

#350) Tuesday, May 22, 2007
MIDI English Horn is much more pleasing than the real thing.

#351) Tuesday, May 29, 2007
Mission accomplished. That's pretty obnoxious(ly).

#352) Wednesday, May 30, 2007
I didn't realize it until now but I really do say "No problem" as my response to "Thank you". Weirdy.

#353) Wednesday, May 30, 2007
haha!

#354) Wednesday, June 06, 2007
My grandparents house had these two grizzly bear rugs made from actual bears my grandfather had shot (there used to be real men in my family). These bears lived under the pool table in the basement until my dad insisted they get rid of them when my brother was running around, got his foot stuck in the mouth of one and it cut him open.

#355) Wednesday, June 06, 2007
Man that picture of you is funny.

#356) Monday, June 11, 2007
Why are you wearing some drapes taken from a Panama City hotel room for the nip slip?

#357) Wednesday, June 13, 2007
What Kathy said.

#358) Thursday, June 14, 2007
I had to vote for U2 of course but seriously, all of them totally suck.

#359) Friday, June 22, 2007
Wow, two chops in one entry. Let that be a lesson to me not to smile in pictures.

#360) Friday, June 22, 2007
"I ordered you online" hahahaha


That's funnier than me in a onesie surrounded by hot chicks.

#361) Friday, June 22, 2007
I also notice I was relegated to #4 on the blog log. AND I was relegated without a URL update.

#362) Friday, June 22, 2007
I have been working on a top-secret program for my blog!

You will see in Monday and be impressed.

#363) Tuesday, July 03, 2007
I'm not sure why, but I can has cheezburger always makes me laugh. It's never that funny but yet it is.

#364) Thursday, July 05, 2007
I don't even have the AIDS futon anymore. I think your blog was passed from Jim to Mark to me.

#365) Thursday, July 12, 2007
Where's the topless-Brian pic?

#366) Wednesday, August 01, 2007
Frames, boo!

Looks good otherwise.

#367) Friday, August 03, 2007
Yeah, I'm ready to wager that picture. There's no buy-in too small to have it exiled upon my come-once-win-once-hated-forever visit.

#368) Monday, August 27, 2007
1) There ought to be a law against American newscasters trying to say Spanish words as though they were Cubanos.

2) Michael Vick belongs in bloody, mangled pieces.

3) I hate having to choose between visiting Starbucks or taking a nap.

4) In the future when tasty food is replaced completely by vitamin pills, I will be a lot healthier.

5) The thing about babies is that they're much cuter at your house than crying next to me in a restaurant.

6) Everything would be alright if only Brian's answer to this question were enforced strictly.

7) The only thing worse than a politician is several politicians.

8) My life is full of

s.



#369) Wednesday, September 19, 2007
Man, I wish I had thought of your #4.

#370) Wednesday, September 19, 2007
You still have a free guest-entry on mine for winning the decipher-the-lyrics challenge.

#371) Thursday, September 20, 2007
Wow Rebecca...I'd hate to hear the answers that didn't win.

#372) Monday, September 24, 2007
The mural says to me the government has taken a particular interest in the ongoings of Sterling--there is a large microphone indiscreetly hidden in far-right light.

#373) Monday, September 24, 2007
On second viewing, that's not actually part of the mural, which makes things a bit more scary.

#374) Wednesday, September 19, 2007
Do it--I totally need a new demographic...if you know what I'm saying...and I think you do.

#375) Friday, September 28, 2007
What are tibs?

#376) Monday, October 01, 2007
I'm pretty sure the best part about October is Food Guy's birthday.

#377) Tuesday, October 09, 2007
That was a really nice entry. I'm amazed at amount of details you remember.

I still use that font all the time for steel drum music. I remember Kathy describing Julie as "crunchy" and that being the first time I had heard that word used to describe someone.

#378) Tuesday, October 09, 2007
I am ready for the guest entry. Seriously.

#379) Tuesday, October 16, 2007
That was weird. Weirdy.

#380) Tuesday, November 20, 2007
Chichi: The soundtrack to an 80s theme show.

#381) Monday, November 26, 2007
November 1997: I had my first college crush, the bass clarinet player in band with me. We would go on to date for a good seven months before I decided I need to sow my wild oats. She responded by moving to Israel to marry an Israeli warrior or something.

#382) Tuesday, November 27, 2007
That might be a little too literal.

#383) Monday, December 10, 2007
I did not write that! That is for realz!

#384) Monday, December 10, 2007
Now I remember why I wanted to comment--picking nursing homes with the best coupons is really funny. I'm totally using that and claiming that as my own this Christmas.

#385) Tuesday, December 11, 2007
I hope your mom really got that $10 gift certificate. Her caption still makes me laugh.

#386) Tuesday, December 18, 2007
It needs more wrong notes.

#387) Thursday, January 03, 2008
I was in Europe for about a month and didn't use a railpass so I can't comment on it but you're going to have a great time.

#388) Friday, January 11, 2008
Man your mom's baby-back ribs caption is funny. I still can't get over it.

#389) Monday, January 14, 2008
What's in the present in living room?

#390) Thursday, January 17, 2008
To paraphrase the Mark Connor of 2001-2003, "Huh".

#391) Friday, January 25, 2008
Cmon PHP syntax! Personally I always forget that explode() doesn't magically remove all of my boss's antiquated code. God knows I've tried it.

#392) Friday, February 08, 2008
The triple-double word was also a puzzler on Car Talk; that's where I first heard it.

#393) Friday, February 15, 2008
It won't be an issue when I have all of your monies; then I can be Winning Mike.

#394) Friday, February 15, 2008
Ah, the picture has been changed to reflect my inability to correctly handle seeing large restaurant bills.

#395) Friday, February 15, 2008
ooh, if you have to share a name with him you can just be "Mike"--I can live with Florida Mike. No one should have to endure what you must go through.

#396) Friday, February 15, 2008
The only person that ever called *me* Chompy was Alex and it still kind of weirds me out.

#397) Friday, February 15, 2008
But then there are two Chompys.

You are a generous grader.

#399) Tuesday, February 26, 2008
I'm all for my tax dollars going to NASA. Regardless of where it goes it's being wasted anyway but I definitely want it going somewhere where aliens might be involved. That's just me.

I had one cavity in 1999 and it was a wonderful experience. It was just horrible enough to make me want to go back for regular cleanings.

#401) Thursday, February 28, 2008
Now that I hear #10 in context I at least recognize the song. The gift certificates are good towards your poker buy-ins right?

#402) Monday, March 10, 2008
Man, we're getting old.

#403) Wednesday, March 26, 2008
I call Museday Tuesdays!

#404) Wednesday, April 23, 2008

For the next week and a half or so, I walked in various states of cripply goodness, and on this last day in London, I was forced to walk with my right leg completely straight, no doubt looking like a modern American peglegged pirate and greatly embarassing my travelmate.

You should have just bought her a parrot costume.

#405) Thursday, April 24, 2008
Good thing you went when you did:
linky

#406) Friday, May 02, 2008
Welcome back!

#407) Monday, May 05, 2008
I'm really looking forward to that musical.

#408) Tuesday, May 06, 2008
They could call it the Sliver Line and stop at all the Home Depots.

#409) Wednesday, May 07, 2008
I forgot that I used to really like DH. Ah, how time flies.

#410) Thursday, May 08, 2008
Happy belated 20th birthday to your mom. I will also be turning 20 in a few months.

#411) Wednesday, May 07, 2008
Truer words have never been spoken.

#412) Friday, May 09, 2008
I just can't believe you thought that was a good episode. Anytime you have to learn something in a dream is a bad sign.

#413) Friday, May 16, 2008
I'm rooting for Friday Freakouts. Don't forget to wear extra rings while typing the entries.

#414) Friday, May 16, 2008
Freakout Fridays it is! Listen to your fan base.

#415) Wednesday, May 21, 2008
I just bought wiieel.com; I think it's going to be a friend-finder for the game.

You both need to get on board fast--Marty is going to Germany tomorrow.

srsly.

instead of The Cubs so people wouldn't automatically think they sucked)

Ouch.

#418) Thursday, June 05, 2008
I give it a solid A with friends. It's admittedly not as much fun by yourself.

#419) Tuesday, June 10, 2008
It needs more wrong notes.

#420) Friday, June 13, 2008
That girl-throwing article is just mean..."go play for the Cubs". The first-place-by-a-lot Cubs.

I think random-team voting (rooting for Ohio to beat Kansas so your team moves up a spot) is great--if it weren't for that no one would ever root for Grand Valley State.

#421) Monday, June 16, 2008
Reading the Urizone.

#422) Tuesday, June 17, 2008
My favorite line from your Black Guy Booth link: "Sherry Littlefield of Corvallis said the booth was unnecessary. She and friend Ron Naasko said they have black friends, and would be voting for Barack Obama for president".

#423) Friday, June 27, 2008
CSS is my hot, hot sex. Just ask my padding-bottom.

#424) Monday, June 30, 2008
If I could know, with 100% certainty, that if I had a kid it would be as cute as Ella I'd totally be down.

#425) Tuesday, July 01, 2008
I demand a recount.

#426) Wednesday, July 02, 2008
I think this win seals the "dynasty" term. Congratulations!

#427) Thursday, July 03, 2008
Thanks for plug.

#428) Thursday, July 03, 2008
I totally just got the "I can't wait until independence day" blurb at the top. I thought maybe you set it show it 100% of the time this weekend but no. Spooky.

#429) Tuesday, July 08, 2008
I can't believe Java is coming to a blog near me. That's like a mansion being built in my Levittown.

You made that poster over seven years ago. That means you're getting old. What's up Oldielocks--where are you three bears?

#432) Thursday, July 24, 2008
The first time someone really told me something awkward was when I was working at a Toyota parts plant. I was to have my wisdom teeth out that day, and when I mentioned this to a co-worker she countered with her own story and, sparing no detail, compared it to the birth of her first child. The story was so graphic that I started to feel light-headed and mid-sentence I ran away from her to try to find a bathroom to honk. Unfortunately I passed out on the way and slammed face-first into the corner of a desk, effectively ripping off the side of my nose. When I came to, the ambulance was there and I was surrounded mainly by strangers in suits--apparently this was also the day the big-wigs were in from Japan AND I had blown the long streak of days without an accident at the plant.

#433) Thursday, July 24, 2008
My poor nose could have an autobiography on its own.

Katie: I'm glad I told that one instead of the back-up.



#434) Monday, July 28, 2008
Wow--before rereading that Katrina one I forgot how stupid Rachel was. I didn't really need to say that but I wanted to hold on to my #2 slot since I know Anna is competitive and is going to starting a massive commenting campaign to overthrow me.

#435) Monday, July 28, 2008
Anna, You're right. I'm embarrassed to admit it but I am slightly competitive.

#436) Monday, July 28, 2008
I'm also sorry.

#437) Monday, July 28, 2008
Real sorry.

#438) Tuesday, August 05, 2008
Ella can't get enough press. I might cut out today's picture and carry her around in my wallet to try to pick up girls by saying she's my little sister in the hopes of giving the idea that I somehow carry the DNA to produce that kind of cuteness. While it will be an unfortunate surprise later that I do not, I'm willing to take that chance.

#439) Tuesday, August 05, 2008
Oh yeah, that was a pretty huge party foul. I blame the parents.

#440) Tuesday, August 05, 2008
I'm curious to know what the pre-edit was.

#441) Friday, August 08, 2008
Speaking of Anna and gagging smells, I did learn that smelly pee is genetic...and that she and I share that oft-coveted trait. Awesome. I can't believe Second Place Kathy refused to let me win and live up to her name.

#442) Thursday, August 07, 2008
No one can kick mikeandchompy's butt. Even the Cutest Baby in the World. It would be unfair to have all of that going for a single person.

#443) Friday, August 08, 2008
I didn't even really get that picture until right now.

#444) Monday, August 11, 2008
I think you left out the ones that wear T-shirts that say "SHARE THE ROAD". You can read the shirts while they ride in between stopped cars and break every traffic rule. I hate them; there are days I wouldn't mind sharing the front of my car with them.

#445) Wednesday, August 13, 2008
So where are the buttons on the new site that we can use to vote down entries like this one?

#446) Tuesday, August 19, 2008
Ah, MIDI steel drums. I know thee well.

#447) Monday, August 25, 2008
Q: What did the choosy voyeur say to the Pokemon? A: Let me take a Pikachu. I should go work for Leno.

#448) Wednesday, August 27, 2008
I think we're not voting, but if we were: Philip for Letter B. haha

#449) Thursday, September 04, 2008
Nice magnet. Good thing your birthday is coming up.

#450) Tuesday, September 09, 2008
Won't you get your clearance revoked for posting all these secrets?

#451) Tuesday, September 09, 2008
Also, wouldn't a proud-to-American secret social networking site have US date formatting?

#452) Wednesday, September 10, 2008
What I'd really like to do is just come over for a week. During that week we could do all the usual stuff that we do but we could set aside a significant amount of time for each picture taken of me to look good. Even if it takes ten tries because hey, we've got a week. You will single-handedly be able to provide the Mike Museum with its Terrible Photos Wing.

#453) Monday, September 15, 2008
Yeah that's right. We totally played Duck Punch.

#454) Tuesday, September 16, 2008
I'd hate to hear the batch that wasn't mixed to perfection.

#455) Thursday, September 18, 2008
I have the rechargeable version of that mouse and I love it too.

#456) Thursday, September 25, 2008
worst. contest. ever.

#457) Thursday, October 02, 2008
Wow! I can't believe you found that. I wish I still lived in a place where a commission was someone saying, "Hey it would be cool if you wrote me a ..." and then not playing it. Thanks for not posting the MIDI samples.

#458) Monday, October 06, 2008
I don't think you're allowed to talk about your female appeal anymore (although it was legendary).

#459) Friday, October 10, 2008
Wow.

#460) Tuesday, October 14, 2008
You been working out? Your chest looks bigger.

#461) Wednesday, October 15, 2008
Gee, thanks for glossing over Florida. The only interesting years of your life.

#462) Wednesday, October 15, 2008
I bet they don't know about the Fugue Monster.

#463) Wednesday, October 15, 2008
Damn. Yeah, that one.

#464) Friday, October 31, 2008
I really need to keep my "excited voice" down in a normal range before I regress totally into being a middle school girl.

#465) Friday, October 31, 2008
Oh god, that's my new picture? The unicorn?

#466) Thursday, November 06, 2008
Yeah! #1 blog spot. Take that, slackers.

#467) Thursday, November 06, 2008
I keep forgetting that's my picture. What a deterrent to commenting.

#468) Friday, November 07, 2008
I think you should consider moving into the District. Then you wouldn't have to drive in like twice a year.

#469) Friday, November 07, 2008
Sweet! That's so much better than the inciting-a-gay-orgy picture.

#470) Thursday, November 13, 2008
I had to pre-plan the first kiss with my first real girlfriend in high school. We met outside the theatre before band and sloppily made out. A couple weeks later I left her a breakup note in her band locker because my best friend and I had a breakup pact and he was tired of dating his girlfriend. In my defense, I did not include the shriveled up rose with my breakup note like he did. Ah, memories.

#471) Thursday, November 13, 2008
Apparently most of your friends were too cool in high school to have embarrassing stories.

#472) Friday, November 14, 2008
I am #2 for "U2 sucks" and I'm pretty proud of that.

#473) Tuesday, November 18, 2008
It's a little Take Fivey. Kind of Take Foury, if you will.

#474) Thursday, November 20, 2008
I just like that "lyrics" is listed under Language and Lyrics. Not Mild Lyrics, not Strong Lyrics...just Lyrics.

#475) Tuesday, December 02, 2008
Hooray, Flyblown is back in the lead.

#476) Wednesday, December 03, 2008
I forgot how skinny Booty used to be. I blame the peer pressure of Florida.

#477) Tuesday, December 09, 2008
Maybe you're not doing it right...

#478) Tuesday, December 09, 2008
I'd also like to add that I hate bicyclists. I especially like how they dress up in their full uniforms to go to Whole Foods so they can buy their Lance Armstrong bars or whatever.

#479) Thursday, December 11, 2008
I forgot about the You're Doing It Wrong entry. That was a winner.

#480) Friday, December 12, 2008
I think Anna wants you to move to doing 1 of 1s.

#481) Monday, December 08, 2008
Maybe "everyone poops lesson plans" is merely commentary on the quantity of materials being prepared by our educators.

#482) Friday, December 12, 2008
You use a lot of fff in your scores. I think that's why they're so successful.

#483) Tuesday, December 16, 2008
Obviously, your house is haunted.

#484) Wednesday, December 17, 2008
What's up Killer B? I'd like to see a little more passion--A's and F's.

#485) Monday, December 22, 2008
I once got up before everyone else when I was like 8 and opened everyone's presents. But who hasn't done that?

#486) Tuesday, January 06, 2009
My big resolution is to see every movie you're in.

#487) Wednesday, January 14, 2009
haha, hares in the sheets.

#488) Monday, January 26, 2009
I did too. There's one of White Wedding up on YouTube that makes me wonder how far into the 21st century mankind will survive.

#489) Monday, February 09, 2009
That's a really good picture of Chompy.

#490) Tuesday, February 10, 2009
I wish my signature could be the score for a piece.

#491) Thursday, February 26, 2009
Bisectual. Wow.

#492) Friday, February 27, 2009
"'dildo' is not a very high-scoring venture (in any setting)." Sure it is, you just have to use it in the right places.

#493) Friday, February 27, 2009
Evil-Mike is way better. And casual viewers will be able to figure out who you are a lot more quickly.

#494) Tuesday, March 03, 2009
You listened to rock in grad school? Where were we for that?

#495) Tuesday, March 03, 2009
Maybe

#496) Tuesday, March 03, 2009
I'm kind of hoping today is outdated-HTML-element day.

#497) Tuesday, March 03, 2009
<blink>blinks</blink> = blinks Same with swapping the "blink" for "marquee". Oh god, I hope I didn't just make the internet a little worse.

#498) Wednesday, March 04, 2009
Ditto.

#499) Thursday, March 05, 2009
Way to go. No wonder I couldn't get any.

#500) Friday, March 13, 2009
One word: ramble.

#501) Friday, March 20, 2009
Good thing there's not a space in Mike's LovePoker or else that would be a softcore porno too.

#502) Monday, March 23, 2009
You taught us how to bet for funsies.

#503) Tuesday, March 24, 2009
You got my hopes up with "Stuff in my Drawers".

#504) Tuesday, March 24, 2009
Happy 500th comment to me!

#505) Thursday, March 26, 2009
I'd be ok with it.

#506) Friday, April 10, 2009
Chompy is a >:(dog

#507) Friday, April 10, 2009
I wasn't sure how to make lolcat appropriate for Chompy and that was the best I could do (even with two takes).

#508) Monday, April 13, 2009
Welcome to the 500 Club!

#509) Thursday, April 16, 2009
You need to start giving F's. Each Review Day I hope to see failure but no. Maybe I'll write a book and send it to you.

#510) Wednesday, May 06, 2009
LAKE!

#511) Wednesday, May 13, 2009
That mystery stain on my wall only appears in pictures. Oooh, ghosties.

#512) Thursday, May 14, 2009
Hooray, an F!

#513) Thursday, May 14, 2009
Oh man, you're four comments ahead of me now?

#514) Friday, May 22, 2009
It is pretty cold up here. A frigid 80.

#515) Friday, May 29, 2009
I can think of someone who needs that book. I hope he has a I Will Be Single Forever registry.

#516) Monday, June 08, 2009
These are my favorite updates by far.

#517) Tuesday, June 09, 2009
Pleeeeeeeeeease can you do #8.

#518) Thursday, June 11, 2009
I hope we can have another sniping match in the comment section like we did on Hat Day.

#519) Thursday, June 11, 2009
You're just a major player as it is. Hey-o.

#520) Thursday, June 11, 2009
I finished rifling through all the eligible girls in DC and had no choice but to move to another metropolitan area to continue my quest.

#521) Monday, June 15, 2009
Educating tomorrow's leaders and petting Chompy in one of the world's leading tourist destinations.

Seltzer water is great when you mix it with fruit juice. It's a good way to boost your daily water intake without feeling like you're just drinking boring ol' water.

#524) Tuesday, June 23, 2009
I could save $423,500 in tax expenditures right now.

Evil Mike looks so sad by himself without me to stand next to him in our all wife-less, baby-less glory.

#527) Thursday, July 16, 2009
I love search term day. I wish every day was search term day.

#528) Monday, July 20, 2009
I picked #7 belonging to mom. You're the winner in my book.

#529) Friday, July 24, 2009
It looks like your teeth are about to run a QB draw.

#530) Wednesday, July 29, 2009
Man, it was my lucky day. I've never gone roller skating so I'm certain the poor searcher was not looking for me.

#531) Friday, July 31, 2009
Babies everywhere!

#532) Monday, August 03, 2009
Happy Birthday (I just want to see my new picture).

#533) Thursday, August 06, 2009
We need more Fs. Seriously.

I'm offended that someone found Underdog to Wonderdog annoying.

#535) Thursday, August 27, 2009
I'm (Original) Mike and only commenting because Anna did and I can't let her out-comment me. I am (now, thankfully) a full-time adjunct music theory professor and full-time small business owner. In my free time I pet Chompy and yell at neighborhood kids. I'm also dangerously close to turning 30.

#536) Thursday, August 27, 2009
Oh snap, how did you get 24 ahead of me?

#537) Thursday, August 27, 2009
I live in Lowell, Massachusetts.

#538) Thursday, August 27, 2009
I do not have any babies, nor babies mommas.

Such fancy javascript rollovers!

#541) Wednesday, September 02, 2009
I can say with complete honesty that it was the best middle school use of Anchors Aweigh I've ever heard where you were the conductor. Hands-down.

#542) Thursday, September 03, 2009
Man, I loved Portal. I actually agree with both your grade and synopsis.

#543) Wednesday, September 23, 2009
Why can't every day be Search Term Day?

#544) Tuesday, September 29, 2009
I keep waiting for the holy-shit-I'm-getting-married update. No dice.

#545) Monday, October 26, 2009
Didn't update my blog out of respect for yours.

#546) Wednesday, November 11, 2009
UWM makes the news AND CSS in one post!

#548) Tuesday, November 24, 2009
I like Chomple. I don't even need to see the site.

#549) Wednesday, December 02, 2009
Chompy! I love search term day so much.

#550) Friday, February 19, 2010
Wow. I guess I repressed that memory.

#551) Monday, March 01, 2010
Have fun, dudes!

#552) Thursday, March 04, 2010
I know the only reply is "duh" but that is retardedly beautiful.

#553) Thursday, March 11, 2010
Wow, an A+.

#554) Thursday, May 06, 2010
I hate it so much that I really don't even want to watch the finale for an reason than to say that I did.

#555) Thursday, May 27, 2010
FINALE SPOILERS: Those are some generous grades. I felt the only way the ending could have been worse than "and look, they're dead" was if they had gone down the "it was all a dream" path. I only pass the show with a C- because they got an A+ on their first two tests with D/Fs the rest of the way.

#556) Wednesday, September 01, 2010
Chompy!

#557) Wednesday, September 15, 2010
Now I'm concerned about growing an extra on my birthday.

I just saw this on another friend's feed and didn't get it. Now I kind of do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnjSWPxJxNs&feature=player_embedded

Yeah, buddy!

My weekend was good. I got to act out Gloria Steinem.

#561) Friday, October 15, 2010
That finger thing blows my mindlets.

#562) Friday, November 05, 2010
I'll see if I can help with some of these: Rum and Coke can be delicious once you leave college and get a job where you can afford more than a $6 bottle of rum. Ten foot ceilings make you feel like you're not trapped inside your own home if you're more than six feet tall. I got nothing on the rest. Do people actually read online poker hand histories?

#563) Wednesday, November 17, 2010
I love these days.

#564) Thursday, November 18, 2010
Damn!

#565) Tuesday, November 30, 2010
How do I not remember this? Surely it must have been the Heiniken.

#566) Friday, December 03, 2010
I'm going to the FSU/VT game. Since you can't watch the game and I have a very short term memory just tell me you saw me on TV.

#567) Thursday, February 17, 2011
Way to go, dude.

#568) Friday, April 22, 2011
He's not wrong.

If you undergo gene therapy how many genes do you have to change in order to get the end result? All of them? One of them? I honestly do not understand how this works.

#570) Friday, May 13, 2011
I'll update again now that the school year is over and my Scheisslings have better things to do than read my blog.

#571) Wednesday, July 13, 2011
I also like the darkest one in the middle. Is it called "Hungover Pee"?

#572) Wednesday, July 27, 2011
Y'all have a rough life.

haha, bromide-burn!

#574) Monday, August 01, 2011
1)

2001

2) At present I am reading from a villa in Saint Barthelemy in the French Antilles. I feel like just because of that I should win. 3) I really only am here for two things: Search Day and hoping that Rob will once again spend a long time anonymously correcting something.

#575) Monday, August 08, 2011
There are so many people I'd like to thank: Brian, Rebecca, God, The Number 3. But mostly, I'd like to thank myself because if it hadn't been for me I would have never won this contest.

#576) Monday, August 08, 2011
I hope the pre-edit post was a long, expletive-laden rant.

#577) Tuesday, August 30, 2011
I can't believe you're adding the +1s. Now you'll really need to have more Search Term days.

#578) Wednesday, September 14, 2011
I like how your dad just completely bulldozes through all your sarcasm without even blinking.

#579) Wednesday, September 21, 2011
How do you have that Kicking Kathy picture? I ask only because I could swear it was one that was taken on my film camera which I just had developed and digitized before I moved to LA.

#580) Wednesday, September 21, 2011
Interesting. I have a weird hybrid of that collection. I'm going to put all of them online eventually.

I remember when I used to work for the State of Florida writing names of criminals on manila folders thinking "Man, this is the biggest waste of time in the entire universe." and then I'd think "No, History of Music Theory."

#590) Wednesday, November 30, 2011
It was a Spanish guy in my German class. His name was Segundo and he stole Bobbi The All-American Girl away from Alex AND assumed I worked at Tallahassee Nurseries. I take solace in the fact that he failed the German class but even more solace in that he's gotta be near death by now.

#591) Monday, December 05, 2011
Yeah, jean shorts.

#592) Tuesday, December 20, 2011
I liked it.

#593) Thursday, December 22, 2011
I'd actually been thinking about getting this because all my students were saying how great it was on FB so it's nice to have an adult opinion to go with those.

#594) Friday, January 13, 2012
Mr. Uri. What a guy. I'd buy him dinner.

#595) Thursday, January 19, 2012
Rough day for the reviewed. It's an F away from a high school report card.

I can't think of a show with a more steep drop from funny to unwatchable than Community.

#598) Thursday, January 26, 2012
I quit about halfway through Season 2. I found it not just bad but truly unwatchable.

#599) Monday, January 30, 2012
I've found that high-achieving people not only do not consider themselves successful but in fact think they're doing markedly worse than their peers. How do you feel like you compare to your peers in terms of achievement? A graphic might be helpful in explaining it.

#600) Tuesday, January 31, 2012
That was nice.

#601) Wednesday, February 01, 2012
Why weren't you allowed to wear shorts?

#602) Friday, February 03, 2012
Watching you do that makes my eyes water.

#603) Monday, February 20, 2012
I wish just for one election we could elect people that ignored all of their duties except to vote in favor of single-term limits on all politicians and the end of all private election financing. Or we could just have a benevolent dictatorship.

#604) Monday, February 20, 2012
I'm on board with your staggered system. It's the career politicians that seemingly do the most damage.

#605) Tuesday, February 21, 2012
Your accompanist sounds like she actually practiced your piece. That's more than I ever got. You deserved that 1.

Having to get up that early the day after Daylight Savings PLUS an Anal Glad Express. Wow.

If we're to ever trip acid that's what I'd want playing when I described it afterwards.

#609) Wednesday, March 21, 2012
I'm sorry for your loss. It must be an extremely difficult time.

#610) Monday, March 26, 2012
Wow. That's a blast from the past indeed.

#611) Monday, March 26, 2012
What I really remember about that is Chompy (Ginger) drinking sea water and spraying diarrhea in 3' long streams all over the beach.

#612) Monday, April 02, 2012
Booty used to be so small!

#613) Wednesday, April 11, 2012
I actually live about 20 minutes away from Angela now. I also wish we had more pictures from this time.

#614) Wednesday, April 11, 2012
I messaged her on FB when I moved but we only really reply to each other every month or so. She lives in Santa Monica so it wouldn't be hard to get down there but our schedules are pretty busy--she makes commercials now.

#615) Monday, April 16, 2012
You seemingly took getting hit by a texter a lot better than I would.

#616) Tuesday, April 17, 2012
Booyah! Well said.

#617) Friday, April 20, 2012
I don't know how broil differs from bake. If something calls for broiling I move the rack to the slowest slot in the oven and cook it there. I never really appreciated that I was wrong until now.

#618) Friday, April 20, 2012
@Rebecca--really? I think that's the sign that you've been living life the right way.

#619) Friday, May 04, 2012
That is a fine looking steed.

#620) Tuesday, May 08, 2012
I'm impressed your very first piece had any chromaticism at all. My first one, the blockbuster Colors, certainly did not.

#621) Friday, May 11, 2012
600 Days? Wow. You should come visit LA.

#622) Monday, May 14, 2012
I'll totally buy that Zarlino from you if you didn't pitch it.

#623) Monday, May 14, 2012
I would love both, actually. Having extra books is so handy when you need to make a bunch of handouts and worksheets and are too lazy to write your own examples but don't want your students to see ones that are in their book and likely on other quizzes.

#624) Friday, May 18, 2012
I'm with your mom--#1 for me is nauseous/nauseated. Sometimes I use it wrong on purpose so I can fit in.

#625) Friday, May 25, 2012
They took my boy!

#626) Tuesday, May 29, 2012
I like that there's a tags tag.

#627) Monday, June 11, 2012
If you could have a re-do day of any day in your life, which day would it be and why? You don't need to preface it with the whole "Well, if things hadn't worked out the way they did I wouldn't have Rebecca, and Booty, etc, etc".

#628) Tuesday, June 12, 2012
How do you get by with just one monitor? I guess I should have asked that in yesterday's post.

#629) Thursday, July 12, 2012
Your vacation 12 of 12 is way better than mine and not only because you posted yours.

#630) Wednesday, July 18, 2012
Brian: He either eats here ori doesn't.

#631) Friday, August 10, 2012
I outperformed The Others. I would like to thank Locke and Jack and Sayid for making that possible.

#632) Wednesday, August 15, 2012
Ginger!

#633) Tuesday, August 14, 2012
Wrong notes are exciting notes.

#634) Monday, August 27, 2012
What do you think of Breaking Bad? The only times I think about it is once a week when Facebook explodes with html hearts about it.

#635) Monday, August 27, 2012
Wow, that's high praise. I suppose that tilts me in favor of getting caught up on it now.

#636) Monday, September 10, 2012
All the best entries come when I'm out of town and not checking the site! I really hope you don't have an onmouseup event for tracking the things in here that get typed and then deleted before the post goes up.

#637) Friday, September 14, 2012
1989 you is my favorite. You look like you could set someone on fire and be all, "Yeah, whatever. Don't touch my legos."

#638) Monday, September 17, 2012
Good luck with that Volvo. Congratulations on being 1/3 dead!

#639) Thursday, September 20, 2012
I just finished watching BB Season 2. I watched Game of Thrones before getting in BB and now I can't fairly compare BB because I loved GoT so much that every character on BB seems so flat.

#640) Thursday, September 20, 2012
I haven't really followed the hype around the show but if he hasn't won every single award you can win for acting then I'll be very disappointed.

#641) Monday, September 24, 2012
I'm so jealous of your dearth of chest hair. I could braid mine and use it to help maidens climb out of towers.

#642) Monday, September 24, 2012
If I had to describe myself in one word it would be: concise--but if I had second word it would be benevolent.

#643) Wednesday, October 03, 2012
Yay for happy friends.

#644) Monday, October 08, 2012
Damn straight.

#645) Wednesday, October 10, 2012
Fighting off twenty composers? Man, let me know where those jobs are. The last one for which I applied, as an adjunct, had 350.

#646) Tuesday, October 16, 2012
#2 for sure.

#647) Friday, October 19, 2012
Your Doogie Howser synth sound exactly the same as the original. Well done. I'm biased since I learned both of those songs early on in my piano lessons.

#648) Tuesday, October 23, 2012
I took the first semester of that class and for my assignment I picked some really obscure piece and soloist, completely made-up what a solo could look like, typed it immaculately into Finale, and got an A despite not even listening to the recording. It was at that moment I knew I could make it as a professor.

#649) Tuesday, November 06, 2012
That was a fun update.

#650) Friday, November 09, 2012
My favorite was the Biblebeltasaurus.

#651) Thursday, November 15, 2012
Hi! I'm in your extra bedroom not eating Rebecca's chocolates.

#652) Monday, November 19, 2012
I can't tell you how happy I am to not see my name on that list.

#653) Friday, November 23, 2012
That's cute.

#654) Tuesday, November 27, 2012
For me, the point of writing music is because you want a certain piece that's not out there. If what you love is already out there then just listen/play it and be a performer/listener. There was a guy at the festival this summer who wrote just like Scriabin, his favorite composer. I find that much more horrific than bleep/bloop simply because it's your own bleep/bloop.

#655) Wednesday, November 28, 2012
I should write you more emails.

#656) Wednesday, December 05, 2012
Wow, fun flashbacks. I passed that with a 27/28 (FU Mussorgsky) but it took me another three tries after the time you passed it. I got a steak dinner from Alex, though, who bet me he would do better. Sackbut.

#657) Friday, December 07, 2012
1) It seems like just yesterday, probably stemming from the fact it was indeed just yesterday: I play in an extremely competitive poker club where the winner gets a paid-for slot in the World Series of Poker. It's not friendly at all and things like even bumping another person's cards as they're being dealt has serious penalties. Anyway, I was shuffling the cards and some shot out and went onto the floor. I picked them up then went about my merry way. A few hands later, as I got up to get a beer, I realized that I had managed to shoot four cards under my seat and quickly sat back down on them before anyone else noticed. I waited until it was my turn to deal again and then shuffled them back in. Unfortunately, three people went out during the time those cards were out of the deck and all three were still in the running to go to the WSOP and are now out. Oops. 2) Keep one of these in your car. 3) Return to the blogosphere. It's tough when you teach because your students find things and you don't really want them reading about how much you hate them when you could be telling it to them in person the next day.

#658) Wednesday, January 11, 2012
I'm also using SIX PROXIES!!!

#659) Thursday, December 13, 2012
I hope you file Anal Glands Express away for when Museday Tuesday comes back.

#660) Friday, January 04, 2013
Cal State, no!

#661) Tuesday, January 15, 2013
I forgot about the time I forgot to bring her with me. Thanks for the tribute--it's been a long couple of days.

#662) Friday, January 25, 2013
Yay Evil Mike!

#663) Monday, January 28, 2013
When are we going to put a band together? I have the rehearsal space so you should move out here.

#664) Wednesday, January 30, 2013
That was a competitive game for us.

#665) Wednesday, February 06, 2013
You were Spiderman. All of my childhood pictures involved military planes dropping poorly-drawn missiles on everything. I guess I should have gone with that on Confessions Day.

#666) Thursday, February 07, 2013
Do you ever harbor escapism fantasies and, if so, where do you think you might like to escape to?

#667) Friday, February 08, 2013
Good catching up with you today.

#668) Tuesday, February 19, 2013
iTunes is the biggest piece of shit ever created by man. Google Chrome is pretty good if you don't mind Google recording everything you do. I still have use FF and Winamp too. I didn't realize people still chatted.

#669) Wednesday, March 06, 2013
I'm just glad you guys are ok.

#670) Friday, March 22, 2013
When are we going to jam?

#671) Tuesday, March 26, 2013
haha, Anna's!

#672) Thursday, April 04, 2013
The elusive F! Eat it, Weather.com!

#673) Tuesday, April 09, 2013
Please tell me there is a recording of this.

#674) Tuesday, April 23, 2013
Wow, the Army Band. That's a a real performance accomplishment on par with other prestigious gigs like being a bell ringer for pennies outside TJMaxx at Christmas.

#675) Wednesday, April 24, 2013
Minecraft! It's only $26.

#676) Wednesday, April 24, 2013
No kidding. I just played it for the first time about a week ago. And nonstop since then.

#677) Wednesday, April 24, 2013
I believe it. I'm embarrassed by how quickly I got into it and just how much time I've sunken into doing nothing.

#678) Friday, May 03, 2013
I thought the Canadian Brass was a bunch of old guys playing lame songs but really they're a bunch of young guys playing even lamer songs. Adult Me is really upset that Young Me listened to them so much in middle and high school.

#679) Tuesday, May 07, 2013
Yours is the only blog I still read. Thanks, Facebook!

#680) Tuesday, May 21, 2013
Homestar Runner! The guy that created that was at FSU with us. And who doesn't like Trogdor the Burninator?

#681) Friday, May 24, 2013
I think you should get a vote for every comment you leave.

#682) Friday, May 24, 2013
I agree.

#683) Wednesday, May 29, 2013
Now you'd be put on medication for having a gun there. I say that while acknowledging almost all my drawings from that age have planes dropping bombs on everything.

#684) Wednesday, June 05, 2013
Goo-y!

#685) Tuesday, June 11, 2013
I hope #3 isn't true or I'm 3x the problem you are.

#686) Friday, June 28, 2013
It does go by pretty quick. Maybe you could make a photoshop party of us using current pictures so we can pretend we still go to the same parties.

#687) Thursday, July 04, 2013
It was so good to see everyone. And no one brought babies which made it even better.

#688) Friday, July 05, 2013
Affliction? You mean badassery?

#689) Wednesday, July 10, 2013
Baseball cards.

#690) Tuesday, July 23, 2013
duh duh duh...

#691) Monday, July 29, 2013
That's the worst phase. I wish women would go through a "Why are all my ladyfriends treating their men so well?" phase.

#692) Monday, July 29, 2013
Yeah, that would be pretty awesome too.

#693) Monday, August 05, 2013
Yay or nay on House of Cards? After wasting so much time with Breaking Bad I no longer trust the Consensus of The Internet to make my pop culture decisions for me.

#694) Tuesday, August 06, 2013
That's quite reasonable. Well played, sir.

#695) Thursday, August 08, 2013
I hated AD Season 4. Except from Gob (and also the Indian taxi driver that I went to high school with) it's F-worthy. F--worthy. Yeah, that second one is a minus.

#696) Friday, August 16, 2013
Wow. Seeing this makes me call my own grooming into question.

#697) Friday, August 23, 2013
I think you should ask for a trip to Los Angeles. Do you have any concepts for a television show that I can steal and share with the industry?

#698) Friday, August 30, 2013
I think I'll go with Uptown Abbey. Then I get angry when people pronounce it Upton.

#699) Wednesday, September 04, 2013
How much of your journal, if any, was written in case someone found it?

#700) Friday, September 06, 2013
I was with you on the carrot and stick. I did, though, get locked in some lockers in high school. I'm not sure that's the same style of bullying as today where the bullies tag you in unflattering pictures on Facebook.

#701) Monday, September 09, 2013
By leaving comments.

#702) Tuesday, September 10, 2013
Great. I'll take a dozen Last Single Friends.

#703) Friday, September 13, 2013
I would vote for 2007 you as Hottest You.

#704) Wednesday, October 09, 2013
Thanks! That was a really fun day.

#705) Thursday, October 10, 2013
Have you seen Gravity? I was so excited to see an F grade that I thought I would offer something else fail-worthy.

#706) Tuesday, October 22, 2013
That's a killer theme song. Did you ever play like Heroes of Might and Magic II?

#707) Thursday, October 31, 2013
IS THAT REALLY WHAT MARRIAGE IS ABOUT? I'm not sure why I felt this way but for some reason it seemed the right thing to do to write that in all caps.

#708) Thursday, October 31, 2013
Maybe I was channeling pre-married, pre-kids Alex.

#709) Thursday, November 07, 2013
I actually saw This Is The End and the only character I knew was Michael Cera and didn't find it very funny except for the parts with him in it so I hear what you're saying.

#710) Friday, November 08, 2013
I use the View button on Google Drive all the time. I can't be bothered to download those 100Kb files.

#711) Friday, November 08, 2013
Ooh, now that's true.

#712) Wednesday, November 13, 2013
That's the truth ^^

#713) Tuesday, November 19, 2013
Was your college application's title Brian Uri!: The Balance Between Steven Foster and Schoenberg? That would have been awesome.

#714) Monday, November 18, 2013
What a loser that guys is.

#715) Wednesday, December 18, 2013
Your dad should move to LA and do voice over work.

#716) Tuesday, January 28, 2014
VIVA paper towels for sure.

#717) Tuesday, January 07, 2014
I got a 2/10. I've been the road so I've been a little behind in Urizoning but I felt like no one appreciated your onmouseover quiz.

#718) Thursday, February 13, 2014
God, I hope there's not something in your comment script that captures and stores comments on a letter-by-letter entry that gives you the comment we originally typed and then thought better of.

#719) Friday, February 14, 2014
Is there a simple game we could play together online? Also, I like these up and down updates.

#720) Friday, February 14, 2014
I still had been playing Minecraft until I updated to Windows 8.1 and my display driver decided to rid me of any time-wasting activities.

#721) Monday, February 24, 2014
I'm really liking House of Cards.

#722) Tuesday, February 25, 2014
4/10

Happy Birthday!

How do you survive with just one monitor?

#726) Monday, June 02, 2014
I'm surprised cornhole is still around.

#727) Wednesday, June 04, 2014
That's a lot of badges.

#728) Wednesday, June 04, 2014
+1 to Mom. That's what I was going to say.

#729) Monday, June 09, 2014
I'm training for Kilimanjaro which is only a couple months away now. You guys could both kick my ass in a fight and really that's what counts.

#730) Wednesday, June 11, 2014
Do you feel now, 21 years out, that you have a worthy use of your powers?

#731) Monday, June 09, 2014
How great would it be to be the "pusher" in a game between two wheelchair-bound racquetball players? And by great I, of course, mean weird.

#732) Wednesday, June 18, 2014
That Applebee's is where I also had my first Tallahassee dinner.

#733) Monday, June 23, 2014
Did you invite 17 year olds to the party? Did the vodka actually taste like cake?

#734) Tuesday, June 24, 2014
Even though I haven't lived in that place since 2003 sometimes I'll walk into a bar even now and think "smells like home".

#735) Friday, June 27, 2014
I was going to ask all of those questions too.

#736) Wednesday, July 23, 2014
I like the new fixed top that follows as you scroll down. It's like Facebook but without having to see pictures of babies.

#737) Wednesday, July 23, 2014
Nothing is wrong with babies. You're not one of the people that floods my newsfeed with daily photos of Baby Banalities (so thanks for that) but you're also in elite company.

#738) Monday, July 28, 2014
Looks like good times.

#739) Wednesday, July 30, 2014
Wow, that is a really funny avatar.

#740) Tuesday, July 29, 2014
That's totally true. Mine just shimmies to and fro during that last 15 minutes.

#741) Monday, July 28, 2014
I unfortunately would have had little to offer in the way of either babies or band music.

#742) Thursday, July 31, 2014
Oh man, I was totally going to my triumphant return as a Wordpress blog.

#743) Tuesday, August 05, 2014
Those are generous criteria to earn a Republican Merit Badge although I particularly like the third one.

#744) Thursday, August 21, 2014
When is Friend Review Day? I'd like to see some people scored.

#745) Thursday, August 21, 2014
True and true.

#746) Friday, August 22, 2014
How about an Oxford comma up in that? You should sit on the newsletter punctuation committee.

#747) Monday, September 15, 2014
One year you should replace the current year with an old year just to see if anyone notices that you never appear any older.

#748) Tuesday, September 16, 2014
That sounds like a lot of bacon.

#749) Friday, September 19, 2014
It's going to be a lot harder to do that once you move to Seattle.

#750) Tuesday, September 23, 2014
I've gotten so much better at persuasion over the years. Can I try to bring you back to the exciting world of composing now that it's been eight years of the same work?

#751) Tuesday, September 23, 2014
Yeah but it's much easier now. It's not nearly as notey as it used to be.

#752) Friday, October 03, 2014
I knew aliens were real. I knew it.

#753) Friday, October 10, 2014
Do you see yourselves in Sterling for an infinite time and if not, do you already have a future location picked out in which to live?

#754) Tuesday, October 14, 2014
Definitely; it's like 90% hugging deer and 10% Bill Gates throwing money at the homeless.

#755) Friday, October 17, 2014
I'm pretty sure Seattle meets those requirements. If you fall in love I'll move up there and be your neighbor.

#756) Tuesday, October 21, 2014
I'm surprised your electronics worked in an EMP museum.

#757) Thursday, October 23, 2014
It worked! She defied death.

It looks like a shark got buried.

$600k is a steal! It's not too late to reconsider.

#760) Tuesday, November 04, 2014
*I'm* not happy I couldn't join you but seeing those pictures make my knees super happy that I couldn't join you.

#761) Wednesday, November 19, 2014
That was a rough team. I've blocked out most of the memories from that but I do recall the guy from Craven Moorehead and Associates elbowing Mark in the face and the Waste Management team beating us like 200-3.

#762) Wednesday, November 19, 2014
Kathy, your avatar always makes me laugh.

#763) Wednesday, November 19, 2014
You feel all caps on the inside.

#764) Thursday, November 20, 2014
Weekly GPA of a 2.34. Ouch.

#765) Wednesday, November 26, 2014
Do you want me to kick that kid's ass?

#766) Friday, November 28, 2014
Someone really talented with a camera must have taken that stellar picture.

#767) Tuesday, December 02, 2014
Goose? I guess I'm not up on my spam terms.

#768) Tuesday, December 02, 2014
Like the down is made of just a single Goose? That's the type of hipster-mandated homogeneity that I would associate with Canadians.

#769) Thursday, December 04, 2014
6/10! Bringing my average to 50% makes me feel better about the 4/10 last time.

#770) Wednesday, December 17, 2014
How old is your dad in this picture?

#771) Wednesday, January 07, 2015
I think that's why it was called Degrassi High. I haven't made that joke like twenty years.

#772) Friday, January 09, 2015
1) I'm not sure but probably zero and anticipate keeping it that way. 2) Las Vegas / Los Angeles 3) Stochastic application in music 4) Chompy 2.0

#773) Tuesday, January 13, 2015
You seem awfully dressed up. Was that for 12 of 12?

#774) Tuesday, January 13, 2015
I'll root for the former.

#775) Thursday, January 29, 2015
Yeah F!

Did you catch asthma?

#777) Tuesday, February 03, 2015
When someone undergoes genetic therapy, how is it able to "take" since not every single cell's DNA is being altered? Why don't the unaltered cells overtake the altered ones and revert the person back to the original state? I asked an honest-to-god geneticist this but her answer was neither witty nor distilled in any way for my consumption.

#778) Tuesday, February 03, 2015
Huh, I don't remember seeing that at all. I'll think of something better for this round then.

#779) Tuesday, February 03, 2015
I totally got it and this has driven me crazy forever PLUS you probably already know the answer: At the base of computer interaction there's the CPU handling machine code and other code is compiled into it but at a certain point wouldn't machine code need to be able to read itself as binary? How would that be possible?

#780) Tuesday, February 10, 2015
I keep forgetting VA can sometimes be a blue state.

Oh man!

#782) Friday, February 20, 2015
Sucks to have bought in 2006 and tried to sell in 2010. Did you think about buying up your whole neighborhood at the height of the recession?

#783) Tuesday, February 24, 2015
Dr. Uri, Thank you for taking my question and fielding it so deftly (and with js popups--I thought one might rick roll me for old time's sake). What I still don't understand is: at its core in the CPU where the hard-wired mapping is, what runs these 1:1 mapped commands? Said another way, it seems like some comparative process would have to exist just to say "it's asking for addition" and that comparative question would be answered by what?

#784) Tuesday, February 24, 2015
That's totally it! That analogy was perfect in every way possible. Thanks a lot.

#785) Wednesday, February 25, 2015
^^ Haha

#786) Thursday, February 26, 2015
What! GotG is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I was shocked to see such a generous rating.

#787) Thursday, February 26, 2015
My God, have you been slaughtering me with inferior decks?

I think you saw me on 2/14 in Columbia Heights which would bump me up.

You totally asked me, "Well why don't you put it in the cloud" and I didn't appreciate it for what it was.

#791) Friday, March 13, 2015
"Changes occurences of "butt" or "my butt" to "butt" or "my butt" respectively and only in proper context (not weather sites, if possible)."

That was a fun party. "Returned Mike" sounds like LA brought me back with a gift receipt.

Google was obviously unable to extract adequate personal data from its hosted projects to make it worth their while. That's aggravating.

I remember at one point Chompy had run into the swamps and being sure we would never see her again.

#795) Wednesday, April 08, 2015
haha, Seabird Cafe.

Will do a Review Day except with your friends? We are (mostly, I think) tough enough to withstand your grades and excoriating commentary.

#797) Tuesday, April 21, 2015
It's an honor to be reviewed as favorably as such stalwarts: In a World..., Modern Family (Season 1), and Ender's Shadow.

You bought a beach house that was ~5x less than your car? Is it on the Anacostia?

#799) Tuesday, May 05, 2015
5. #7 should be B: we're really clapping for the unpracticed and cliched-lick parts?

#800) Friday, May 22, 2015
Boobs.

#801) Wednesday, June 17, 2015
That's awesome. I'm surprised you've held on to this one for so long.

#802) Tuesday, June 23, 2015
Wow,that looks great. Congratulations to you and your dad.

#803) Friday, June 26, 2015
That's a lot of dynamite for one camping trip.

#804) Tuesday, July 07, 2015
2 but with current grade inflation that's an A-.

Dealing with the broken-down Taurus.

Exhibits like that are supposed to remind you that everything is art.

#807) Wednesday, July 15, 2015
If you want it to be.

#808) Wednesday, July 15, 2015
That's fair.

#809) Friday, July 17, 2015
Maybe a section of optimized links to your favorite coupon sites.

#810) Friday, July 17, 2015
Reach out to more guest posters! I'd love to whose grammar Rob Kelley is blithely criticizing these days.

#811) Monday, July 27, 2015
Is it the most gorgeous place in the world or did my 1997-brain store it in the same category as Munich's Glockenspiel is the most awesome thing in the world?

#812) Wednesday, August 12, 2015
Why do you have so many nips in that first picture?

#813) Friday, August 14, 2015
That explains why your whites are never really their whitest.

Los Angeles, the idyllic Grindelwald of California.

I liked Silicon Valley too. I hated the first episode I saw but then accidentally left it playing after GoT and liked it more once I got over being offended by it.

#816) Friday, September 04, 2015
Did you really bring a flute?

#817) Tuesday, September 08, 2015
It was good you didn't watch the game--VT was demolished. I even rooted for them too.

#818) Friday, September 18, 2015
Of all the well-intentioned advice you've received over the years, what do you think has been the least congruent with your life experiences to date?

#819) Tuesday, September 22, 2015
Awesome!

Welcome to Dahmer's, our special tonight is the Fried Hand Roll.

Isn't that all Outrage (including real-life)?

Are you going to make a time lapse of yourself aging in the bathroom one day?

#824) Friday, November 13, 2015
Oh snap, I missed that post. I'm looking forward to the GIF.

#825) Tuesday, November 17, 2015
What advice do you think Future You At 50 would give current you?

#826) Thursday, November 26, 2015
You might want to splurge on organic turkey next year.

All the things your mom said.

The house across from me in Las Vegas is for sale. Just saying.

I'll be interested to see how the S5 does on your review day. I hated the S4 but really like the Note 5.

#830) Tuesday, February 02, 2016
To which email should I send the CANDY CRUSH JELLY invitations?

#831) Wednesday, February 03, 2016
I was going to ask if you still got a shirt. My family all had matching shirts like that except they were yellow and had our names on the back because we had gotten ours by redeeming them with Cheerios box tops thus having CHEERIOS emblazoned on the front.

#832) Tuesday, February 09, 2016
What's the funniest thing you've ever experienced, whether a comedian's joke or just something weird that happened that you found hilarious.

#833) Thursday, February 11, 2016
Man, you're a generous grader.

#834) Tuesday, February 16, 2016
haha @ Evil Mike's response.

#835) Tuesday, February 23, 2016
I think this 5/10 is the best I've ever done. Too bad I got the grad school dinner question wrong :/

#836) Friday, March 04, 2016
I think Haskem Askew is the most successful: He's been able to avoid being the result of a single google search this entire time.

#837) Monday, March 07, 2016
Who won???

#838) Tuesday, March 08, 2016
Aww, Booty.

#839) Monday, April 11, 2016
Happy Birthday to your mom! Are you sad to be without Sydney now?

#840) Friday, April 29, 2016
I though deer did the grazing.

#841) Monday, May 02, 2016
The weekend was rad. Saw Sir Elton John and he sounded, surprisingly, amazing.

#842) Tuesday, May 10, 2016
Are you deliberately posting more cat photos to Facebook? If so, is it because you're sad about Sydney's departure?

#843) Tuesday, May 17, 2016
Mango is too stoic for pictures. She's serious and worried all the time (must get that from her mom).

#844) Thursday, June 02, 2016
It's so much better than Windows 8 that it doesn't matter to me how much worse it is than XP. Windows 8 set the bar so impossibly low that it really does feel awesome even when it makes me manually input the WiFi settings every morning.

#845) Friday, June 03, 2016
A faint heart never won a fair lady. Don't forget to trash everything about Google!

#846) Monday, June 06, 2016
You'll be rewarded by the current season of GoT if you can make it here.

#847) Tuesday, June 14, 2016
That's a good drawing for an 8th grader (or me right now).

#848) Friday, June 17, 2016
239, haha

#849) Monday, June 27, 2016
Looking good!

#850) Monday, August 01, 2016
Looks good! What did you use to make the YouTube video?

#851) Monday, August 01, 2016
I want to reiterate how much I enjoy Search Term Day.

#852) Wednesday, August 03, 2016
We just started watching Bloodline. I'm not sure who is leaving shows like that four-star reviews. Watching The Night Of on mute would have been more interesting.

#853) Friday, August 05, 2016
That's the nicest couple adjective we've ever received (displacing phlegmatic).

#854) Friday, August 05, 2016
Golly, that's a nice one too.

#855) Wednesday, August 17, 2016
I don't understand how the population of Estes Park isn't like a million from all the people that go there and then decide to never leave.

#856) Wednesday, September 07, 2016
What is the music from your video?

#857) Monday, October 03, 2016
Man, that was a long time ago. The president hadn't even started going grey yet.

#858) Wednesday, October 05, 2016
I had that same bird/tape Transformer. It was special to me because it was only one of two *real* Transformers we had--all the rest were GoBots.

#859) Wednesday, October 05, 2016
Also, I hereby jettison Mango.

#860) Monday, October 10, 2016
Nice work.

#861) Thursday, October 20, 2016
What were your final debate grades?

#862) Monday, October 24, 2016
Looks nice!

#863) Monday, November 07, 2016
2/10. Where were the gimmies like Favorite Wife's Name?

#864) Friday, November 11, 2016
I predict you'll let me guest post a more aggressive post-election advice column.

#865) Friday, November 11, 2016
Damn! Swing and a miss.

#866) Monday, November 21, 2016
Congratulations! Working for a startup is really fun and the amount of swag will, believe it or not, like quadruple.

#867) Thursday, November 24, 2016
Oh man, no Black Friday post with, dunno, maybe some of your favorite coupon websites?

#868) Thursday, November 24, 2016
No, that's why it's important to support them lest they go the way of other relics of the early aughts like Woot and FMLife.com.

#869) Wednesday, December 07, 2016
Megatron is legit present though for a fake Santa. Our fake Santa got us stuff like this:

Is there any reason in particular that you continue to use a wired keyboard, particularly with a standing desk?

#871) Monday, December 12, 2016
Fair enough. It's weird not seeing your old office in a 12/12.

#872) Monday, December 19, 2016
I loved that Black Mirror episode too.

What was it like to meet such a bad (pathetic) loser that was fired by ratings? Sad?

#880) Monday, April 03, 2017
I've heard such good things about that game. I really want to try it.

#881) Friday, April 14, 2017
Do you have a plan in place for the role of technology in Mike Jr.'s early life? Think it'll be weird to grow up as the first generation under full surveillance or will it be quiet adaptation in the way we were the first to grow up with Lunchables™?

#882) Wednesday, April 19, 2017
Nice responses. I'm pumped for the next question day so I can ask a follow-up.

#883) Friday, May 05, 2017
I can't get through the first episode of American Crime Story. The acting is so atrocious it's like John Travolta and David Schwimmer went to the Mike Catania School for Overacting. Reign it in, Ross.

Georg Philipp Telemann of Poop.That'll be the headline of her VR dating profile in 40 years.

Visible Chub. That's a good band name.

#886) Friday, September 15, 2017
I'm excited for her to have the neck strength to do a three-head version of 2010.

#887) Wednesday, November 15, 2017
Yaaaas.

Your living room isn't as kidified as I thought it might be.

#889) Monday, December 11, 2017
I'm sure you have a good reason for not rhyming "town" with "out" in Poop Bike, but I'd be remiss to not offer "Ri- din' your bike 'til the poop does crown".

#890) Wednesday, January 31, 2018
You made a cute kid. For real-real.

#891) Monday, February 05, 2018


You can definitely trust me with your progeny.

#892) Wednesday, January 31, 2018
Oh, I am. But I appreciate the effort.

#893) Wednesday, February 21, 2018
If I remember correctly, and I probably don't, all of those MRSA stains were only visible in photographs. You introduced me to Google right around this time.

#894) Monday, March 05, 2018
I'd rage over that if I could see both the stopped car and the clear merge lane.

#895) Wednesday, March 14, 2018
I hate it say it, but you may be right about my true colors. Even #NeverCry babies like Maia seem to sour as soon as I hold them.

Interested to read the review of John Mulaney. I find him insufferable 95% of the time and a bona fide genius 5% of the time.

Ditto.

I'm totally with you. SEO is the topic nearest and dearest to my heart, so I run against its dangers constantly. Even highly thoughtful, intelligent people tend to say things like, "just Google it" unaware that the results they see are profoundly susceptible to manipulation. It's confirmation bias on steroids; the more you research something, the more Google returns results that cater to an identifiable viewpoint over demonstrable fact. Further, users generally understand the bias in social media timelines. They know their crazy high school friend thinks OBAMA IS COMING FOR MY GUNS and takes a post with a heap of salt. When they do a cursory check of something that seems suspect on Google, though, they treat those first few results as definitively true when in fact they're easily shaped by those with an interest in the result and, when applicable, based on your search profile. Your point of The Internet today weaponizes a massive push towards homogeneity, where the "right" answer is the one most broadly promoted couldn't be more on target.

#911) Wednesday, July 25, 2018
That was a fun day.

#912) Friday, July 20, 2018
The danger of SEO is in the perceived neutrality of the search results. YMMV but if you search for something like are vaccines dangerous and are a neutral-stance searcher, you'll see six results that effectively say "no" and four that say "yes," suggesting the answer to that question is up for discussion when it's not. The consolidation of web entry points is even scarier--Google controls 90%+ of the search market. Since 2015, Yahoo also can return Google's results instead of its internal algo results, making Google's 90% on the low side. This is why I've replaced searching with a blood sacrifice before asking Chompy's ghost for guidance.
