re: parallax, gay ponies doin' crimes 

(Now I'm passingly tempted to see how evil I can make Noa turn in the comic and get away with it, but... I don't have the heart, they're such a good pony...

The bird on the other hand. *mad cackling* >:D )

"subtoot" 

Lay off the poor beavers, will ya? GEEZ! You're a creep! Go away! We were having a good time until you showed up! OOOOH! Go have some coffee with cream or something, because I'll tell you something! This is a happy place!

commonplace book; trivia 

This is the semi-periodic update of my personal "commonplace book." ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonpl )

I offer no guarantees whatsoever that any part of it will be entertaining. It's just a collection of personal notes and trivia. It's offered because it's easy to link to and might be mildly amusing to some-- and because I'd love to see someone else start one and let me browse it someday. 😽​

"it was my understanding there would... be no math" 

Call Graham’s number for a good time. I mean, you, the phone system, and the universe will be dead before you can finish dialing it, but it’s worth a try.

@kobi_lacroix You're VERY close on all of those. Shinty-Six is correct; Twentington is (AFAIK) from a different Britcom with a similar sense of humor. (HINT: ASK DAVE. IS DAVE THERE? HELLO, DAVE.)

Group X, not Band X, but full credit. And correct on cDonald's.

quiz, math, borderline shitpost 

I'm expanding on my joke about "forbidden" numbers with @kobi_lacroix@snouts.online and turning it into a quiz. Can you match these fictional numbers with their media sources?

@kobi_lacroix (And a quillard dollars to anybody who can guess the fictional sources of all 14 of those "forbidden" numbers. HINT: The only one I made up myself was "infivenity.")

Gorgeous tribute to the late great J Dilla. Kinda makes me want to investigate that sampling pad he's using and play around with one.

headfriends (+?), possible med-term Masto moves 

So... it's been a tough couple weeks, but Peg and I see to have basically come out ahead.

I promised mysel(ves) that when we finally got this all together, there would be promotions all around. And I guess it's time to follow through.

So fair warning, at some point during or after the move, this tiger is probably gonna disappear, and a terrifying space manticore is going to mysteriously appear on dragon.style. The Martian High Council will neither confirm nor deny that this is the same individual, but you will be contacted as necessary.

KEEP WATCHING THE SKIES

Dear IT engineers: "contact me here" is not a useful instruction when your user only sees your replies in e-mail, clicking on the only link provided takes them to the same app you already told them not to use, and has ABSOLUTELY NO FUCKING idea where the living fuck "here" is from your perspective.

Second-order empathy. It's a thing now. >_<
