- Question: If your wife puts on 100 lbs since marriage outside of childbirth, what do you do? My Answer: I tell her to get her ass in shape. This one will no doubt piss people off, and I realize I'm not perfect by a long shot, but physical attraction is important as is sharing activities. |

- [GrokLaw] - SCO seems to have the PR machine in full gear, trying to persuade the world that they have a case. Both "end user" lawsuits are laughable, in my opinion, and are best used as information as to whose customer you don't ever want to be. These are not Linux lawsuits. |

- March is shaping up to be New Musical Toys Month here. Last weekend (shush, technicality) I received an Overton tinwhistle from Colin Goldie, the maker of Overtons, as a gift thanking me for the time I've put into the Chiff and Fipple Tinwhistle Forum, part of Dale Wisely's Chiff and Fipple site. An Overton is easily one of the nicest-playing and well-engineered whistles available these days, and it's got me playing tinwhistle quite a bit again. I'd always played nothing but inexpensive whistles, and Colin's generosity has truly spoiled me now! Then, today, the UPS man barely arrived with my present to myself -- the guitar I mentioned earlier. |
