...Right. Choir. Much as I love it, it doesn't come up very often in my conversation anymore, so you should think of it as an homage to something that has a place in my heart. Like Cysteine. I guess Chocolate is there too, and that might come up. But I couldn't put Cognoscente (or, for that matter, ...

Oh, I couldn't. I reserve for my signature those C-words that I am sure never to use in conversation or as a parting address or any such useful thing.

That is, of course, why I chose this username.

My parents would be married in an Abstract Algebra classroom. Well, I guess it would just be a regular classroom (presumably in the Talmage) but the decorations on the chalkboard would all be abstract algebra related, and the guests would have to maneuver between the desks placed in rows much too cl...

Give or take.

Be aware that you practically have to take notes to keep everything straight.

For what it's worth, my vote is with Doctor Who. Except you can't get that on hulu, and not always youtube either... Ah well. Also, *grumbles* After years of misplacement, I finally found the DVD of the hit movie my boyfriend made freshman year! (Said my mom when she heard the general rejoicing: &qu...

Something that I noticed about myself in the last year or so is that when I first meet someone I make a thought about their appearance -- guy or girl. When the crop of new kids hits the ward I look around and see who the hot ones are (though I only care about the hot guys). It doesn't really matter ...

Pretty sure it's not lungs, since the second-to-last picture looks a lot more like lungs to me.

My guess is...it looks vaguely pelvic, I guess. Maybe it's a pelvis?

Gio HRGLM wins the Random chatter award!! Hee, did you get a puppy? Or save one from the clutches of a Crocodile? And thanks, uh, yellow m&m. I want to call you Nem, for some reason. I'm off to Utah Valley today for my 3-wedding weekend/graduation-that-I'm-not-attending! Maybe I'll ... shoot, no...

Hoorah, I'm done with 2008. I'm actually a fairly new reader* so to gain knowledge and have something to do I've been reading the archives. Backwards. I was just Confused by all the pseudonyms I didn't recognize when I tried to start at the other end, and I've enjoyed doing it this way. Even though ...

I especially like the first and last one of vorpal's. :) Perhaps another option could include the word "werf"? That appears to be a fairly common word unique to the Board... Unfortunately, I am slow and uncreative these days. All I could think of was "werf" on the front and "...

This question reminds me of Favorite of the Day . I thought the Gunning Fog Index question was very interesting -- though I didn't read it very carefully, as it was a bit technical for me. I also enjoyed reading Dr. Jorgensen's comments on being named after Batman, since he was one of my teachers an...

At the risk of being a Copier,

Bye, Tao! You're awesome.

P.S.: I thought TINMAN was awesome too.
P.P.S.: This was my favorite Tao Te Ching quote. I don't know if you did it on purpose, but if you did, it was brilliant.

My family has hiked Timp a couple times, and it took them about 10 hours round-trip. (Um, but I've never been. I'm the oldest so I got left out of a lot of the activities once I got too old.) My dad and my college-age sister, her friends, and also my youngest brother and sister tried to hike it on S...

When I grow up, I'm going to have my kids listen to Scripture Scouts. They'll learn those Articles of Faith! And all about the Rameumptom. But I won't be too fussed if they don't use Boo the dog's help in understanding the Proclamation to the World. I mean, it just wasn't the same once they got rid ...

My brother is cursing BYU again. His girlfriend, who has a medical condition that is making her hair fall out, has to wait weeks for several bosses and bosses of bosses to get permission to shave her head. It's not an extreme hairstyle if you can't help it. That's my favorite argument, though it ma...
