Coincidence? I think not!
Which two?
I thought of that too chi, but what if she makes a knitographical error and knits "CHRISTMAS MIMI" instead of "CHRISTMAS MMI." There's no backspace key on a set of knitting needles.
She could also knit "CHRISTMAS ZOOI." That kind of looks like "CHRISTMAS 2001." ;-)
You don't know a ioannaaslani on the Yahoo! chat room do you?
Sorry. I was talking to Nem.
((((Mimi))))
That really pishes me off.
Who pished on your Post Toasties®?
On of the Senior Design (CSE 4316 and 4317) teams in UTA's Computer Science Engineering dept., the semester before I graduated had a project called "Paralell Implementation of Seismic(sp?[1]) Code" and their team name was PISC. By the end of then project, though, they had changed it to Pisces, which does sound nicer. :-)
[1]- It's late. Forgive me if I got it wrong.
The semester after I graduated, one of the teams was called Balls. Their project consisted of some contraption that would shoot a ball and hit a moving target, IIRC.
Sagitarrius here.
If I recall correctly.
What's bad?
It must be that time of day again. I've just received more Chinese spams that I couldn't read, even if I wanted to. But then again, they come all the time anyway.
Yes, it does. According to a recent scientific study[1], you grow an average of one cm per each year that you skip. :-)
[1]- No reference. I just made up the study results.
I don't know. Probably some search engine that I signed up for or maybe they harvested my address off of the Usenet. In any case, it is probably on a direct marketing list that is being sold to spammer. I get probably around 20-30 per day.
I'll try to remember that the next time I get really bad service in a Chinese restaurant. ;-)
I would think Mimi would know some Chinese. After all, she did send Drew Carey "to China to die" *evil laugh*.
Or was that a different Mimi? :-/
LOL. I don't know when you chose the name, and I'm not sure when it came on. It's been on about 5-7 years, I would guess.
1024 x 768, 17" monitor .25 dot pitch (I think) here.
Yeah, both Drew and the Mimi on that show have "da da pigo," but somehow I doubt that either would be insulted if you told them so. ;-)
OK. Good night (((Mimi))).
I should log off and go to bed too.
One of the advantages of being on mysterynet, as opposed to being in a Yahoo! chat room is that random people in here don't pop in and out and say, "Come see my naked pictures."
Hi Anthony.
You try ignoring them, but then they come back with a different name.
Mine zips along too. :)
Of course, because Sparky's bare.
They have voice chat in there and it can be kind of funny. A guy named chief_33239 came in and said, "Hello ladies, have no fear. The chief is here." Just seemed kind of funny.
This should probably go in "Your favorite television shows," but I don't know if I can say b@stards on TV. ;-)
There was a chat interview with Kevin and Drew[1], the fat b@stards of CBS's The Amazing Race [2]on the TV guide website <http://www.tvguide.com/live/transcripts/ts011205kd.asp>
In it, they talk about the non-elimination pitstops and apparently, they knew in advance which pitstops would be non-elimination pitstops:
"
Question: Do you think the non-elimination rounds were decided in advance or do you think they were used to help teams that they wanted to stick around one more leg?
Kevin: Absolutely not. There was nothing contrived about the Amazing Race. We all made assumptions that once you opened the route marker, it would always say Warning: The last team to the pitstop would be eliminated. But in a non-elimination round when you opened it the envelope it wouldn't have a warning. You can see when Joe and Bill made it to the pitstop in Pei Plong beach round, they went Oh Yeah, as if they knew. That's how it ended up.
Question: Did you keep in touch with any of the other teams?
Drew: Yes we keep in touch with all them, including team Guido. They're sweet guys."

Well, then you should watch The Amazing Race because it is like a 31-day worldwide vacation. It is a reality show. They are in Alaska now, but the next show tommorrow night from 9pm EST/8 pm CST until 10pm EST/9 pm CST, right after Survivor will be the last one. Maybe you can catch it the next time around. There is also going to be another round of the three episode, six player (three teams of two) reality show Lost on NBC, where teams try to get home from an unknown place where they are stranded with limited funds and they have to beg and sell the gear to get money for plane tickts, train tickets, boat tickets, hotel rooms, etc., but that show isn't very good (They had a three show series of it back in Sept-Oct on NBC.). It's more like a really bad vacation that you don't want to be on. But even like watching a train wreck or a car wreck, it still facinated me somewhat.
You live in Dallas Max? I saw the torch being run on the 4 pm news on KXAS-TV NBC 5[1]. They also interviewed a couple of people who had carried the torch. One was a man. I can't remember how he got nominated. The other was a woman whose son had a birth defect in his heart and someone nominated her and she never thought she would get it, but she did.
I don't know if it came down this way. I live in DeSoto, and in 1996, got to see it pass down on Hampton, about a block or two south of my church, going from north to south. I think I even saw it being handed off too. I was watching near the pizza hut, I believe. There were a lot of people out along Hampton to watch it.
The Amazing Race: I disagree about having the last leg in a different location. NYC is the place they started from and show obviously be the place they finished, if indeed it was a race around the world. (When you return from a vaction, don't you return to the place where you first started?) Besides, New York is the best place in the US to start a race such as this. I suppose that LA could have worked too, being a coastal city and being the second largest city, population-wise, in the US, but I like a west to east journey better than an east to west journey. Furthermore, this is the same place that NBC's Lost finished its race. At the Statue of Liberty. (A great symbol of the US which was the first thing in America that many immigrants saw and thus a symbol of freedom and home.
My grandfather's family entered the US in Galveston, however, which, AIUI, is next to NYC, the port where the most immigrants entered the US. This would explain why I live in Texas.
What eclipse?
I just got a program called POW and it blocks 'em pretty well. |
