I think its got more to do with her having 2 X instead of 1 X and 1 Y.


@ Wade I feel for you, sometimes I just want to beat the clueless to death with a sack of knives.

There's this one chick in my other morning class who keeps looking over at me...pretty cute, was going to say something about her hair (she wore it down today ) after class but when we left her friend was out there...she was out there before class started as well...stalker friend, creepy :!

Well it isn't like they aren't filming a major motion picture here...and are casting extras and what not...nor are Drew Barrymore/Kristen Bell supposed to be up here in the next two weeks

Also, awesome show you probably aren't watching: The Big C

I was saying just this exact thing to someone yesterday.

Is said friend a guy?

And I think you should try to get a job as an extra. If you want to, go for it. Its a chance to say "look, there I am!"

The perfect counter to saying this, of course, is that other things are shaped correctly.

Comebacks, Truffle. I must write them for you.

No, it's a female...but still sort of stalkerish, freaked me out so I didn't go for it...

Don't want to be an extra wanted to try for that interview with Drew Barrymore and/or Kristen Bell...

Ol' Uncle JK doesn't think womenz are terrible people. So you've got that going for ya, Truff.

Now excuse me while I run around pantsless...

Sinestro banana flavor?

Sinestro is evil, right? I can think of a far more insidious yellow flavoring...

So, new story time.

I'm with my friend, and his girlfriend, who I had not met before. She asks me what I do. I say, "I work for X Bank, in their tech department."

She says, "What do you do there?"

I say, "I work with computers."

Now, that might seem rude to most here, because that's rather generic, but you need to understand that here in Nebraska, that is not only an acceptable response to that question, but it is precisely the answer they are looking for. Any divergence further into the subject marks you as an undesirable human being.

This girl also had a nose stud, was wearing rather loose clothing, and seemed, through our earlier conversations, to be all about nature and the environment and being not so tied down by technology.

"No, I mean, what do you do there?"

Light bulb. She wanted actual specifics. I gave them to her. The whole list. It took me an hour. She nodded, and said, "Wow, you should totally be working somewhere else."

"Why?"

"Well, I worked for IBM for 7 years, and at Google for 3, and you should work somewhere else."

Totally facepalmed. Felt like a tool. This girl's been implementing and supporting mainframe systems like it's chewing gum, and I was talking to her like X Nebraska Simpleton.

Head in my hands, she asked me what was wrong. I said, "I made certain assumptions, and I feel like a major tool."

She goes, "It's okay, we're in Nebraska, I'm sure I took you by surprise."



So of course she has a boyfriend, God Dammit.

4. ???

5. Profit!

Nebraska.

Ha. I hear Nebraska and Kentucky are stuck in a time warp 10 years in the past. You really gotta leave that place.

I am happy that I've never lived farther than a couple hours drive from NYC. Now I'm only a 30 minute train ride away.

Say the word and I could change that for you. All I'll need is an hour, a ski mask, gloves, a pair of pliers and financial compensation for my services.

I've been to Kentucky, and I have some Nebraskan friends, and they are two different flavors. Kentucky is more coal mining, foresty country. Nebraska, you've got more prairie/ranching, independent types.

Who votes we take Doomsie on tour?

Psh, all I need is a phone call.
