Summus grex agni

Well, at least *I* am a sheep.

I have not posted a meme in eons.

Since I wanted to respond to someone else's posting of this meme, I have to post it here.

Yeah, I am a bozo. ;)

F**k or Pass Game

There is at least one person on your friends list that wants to f**k the hell out of you.

So lets play the F**k or Pass game.

The rules are simple.

If you want to f**k the person who posts this, send him or her a reply saying "I'd F**k you."

But, you have to post this in your journal, in exchange.
And marvel at the replies.

Comments are screened. This is, of course, a totally imaginary game that does not take into account current relationships. Wink. Wink. Nudge. Nudge. ;)

Wednesday evening: Busy, busy guy.

1. OK, so I wake up and realize it's fairly light outside. It's looking like somewhere between 5:30 amd 6 a.m. I look at the clock and it's 7:17. Now, if I leave the house any later than 7:20, I am late for work, and I was late Tuesday because we had a power outage.

I get up, cruising to the computer, intending to turn it on, then shower, then flip and fly.

The computer is still on.

Hrmmmmm. Did I forget to shut it . . . . Finally, from the recesses of my brain, I hear "Harvey's" voice. "It's still Wednesday night, you moron. You took a nap, remember?"

Yeah, OK. That was strange.

2a. Who all here is going to Pi-Con. I have never been, because of the conflict with Pennsic, and I probably will go this year?

2b. (or not 2b) How about Albacon Oct. 10-12?

2c. Anyone interested in the Irish festival near Albany Sept. 19 and 20, which includes a Great Big Sea show on Sept. 20?

3. The Red Sox today placed third baseman Mike Lowell on the 15-day disabled list with an oblique injury.

As opposed to an orthographic injury?

Yes, I had to look it up.

4. So do I wade into the 50+ messages about volunteerism at Pennsic on the EK List?

After I took my nap, I did just that.

There were some good points in there. There was also a lot of crap. Bitterness, while an excellent asset to a beer's flavor, is not admirable in people. (Oh, and tasha, this has nothing to do with you).

Although it's amazing how many people know exactly what the attendance trends have been for the last 10 years, and all of them have different numbers and different trends.

I thought Mistress Brita unburied an excellent point.

When they talk about X percentage of people "volunteering" at Pennsic, I get the feeling that's the number of people officially "signed up" for things divided by the total Pennsic population.

Brita's point was that she marshals. Me? I am not on any lists, but I probably logged nine or 10 hours running three fences tournaments. Waterbearers would not show up on that list, nor would all the marshals, etc. Are folks who teach at Pennsic University considered in that list? They should be.

5. Lemme pick a Pennsic picture I really liked:



I bet I take a picture or two of him every year.

6. Wow, it's hard to get used to using a tracball again. (My wireless mouse went belly up, probably batteries).
