Humor will not be tolerated!! -Portia

Yeah, while it may apply to some individuals, it is inaccurate to say that we chose our families.

I'm doing a judicial clerkship for a year. I'll have a more permanent job lined up by the end of it.

I graduated yesterday. Now, on to the bar exam.

Good example. I'm with Hobbes and Laser Jock. Less is more.

Cleaning Lady's enormous photo got me thinking about using pictures on the 100 Hour Board. The website has had the technical capability of posting pictures since about 2000, and it's been pretty easy to post pictures since about 2003. And yet the vast majority of posts are just words. What do you gu...

I think that still doesn't qualify as a haiku because it doesn't have a seasonal word in it.

All these rules remind me why I stick to prose.

Is that senryu thing with 5-7-5 syllables as well? More or less. A senryū has three lines and 17 or less on , which is like the syllables that are counted in some Japanese poetry. I'm a little fuzzy on how the onji work, and I know that some English syllables can have more than one on , but they'r...

If we're going to be picky, n'oublie pas l'accent grave, mon ami . ;) I thought about that, but I figured "voila" was pretty common in English usage. And Merriam-Webster doesn't use an accent on either phrase. Although, since I italicized "voila tout," I probably should have giv...

They both have their moments, but I'm not a big fan of either.

I was in a bus terminal in eastern Venezuela when a friend called me up and told me that the U.S. Embassy had issued a warning to all American citizens regarding the attack. Even in those days a lot of Venezuelans didn't like Americans, so there was some partying in the streets. On a more humorous n...

I've noticed that a good way to feel old is to think of where you were when 9/11 happened. Everyone remembers where they were when that happened. I was a senior in high school . . .. Dude, I was in high school when the O.J. Simpson verdict was announced. (Watched on live TV during a history class, ...

I can't decide which makes me feel older: the high school comment, or the barrage of smileys. Probably the smileys.

Who says he needs to wait? He just needs to get Congress add an amendment removing the age requirement, and voolah, he's able to be president. I'm guessing you meant " voila ." That pesky French. If Gio successfully pushes a constitutional amendment through congress or the state legislatu...

If I were to run for president, and I were to take recommendations for what cabinet position you would like to have, what would you pick? You don't have to say "I would be Secretary of Housing and Urban Development." You could be "Secretary of World Domination" or "Secretar...

Someone needs to remind M&M/Mars not to mess with a good thing. Changing the candy shell colors is one thing. Meddling with perfection is going too far.

Bleah. I refuse to vote. I was born in New York but I still think that's nonsense. New York's influence is either on a plateau or on the decline, depending on how you look at it. It faces a rise of American cities (L.A., Miami, Chicago), the ever-present European cultural/economic/fashion centers (L...

I'm not a Mac person; I prefer Windows or Ubuntu. However, I can appreciate that Macs are good machines with good software and hardware. However, I don't think Macs are for everyone, which is where many Mac users and I can differ. Some Mac users cannot fathom why anyone would want to use anything el...

Yeah, I think that's why she's rushing things. Which is making for a lousy comic, if you ask me.

By the way, my disapproval of the comic doesn't entirely extend to the writer. Lynn Johnston is actually very accommodating and answers email promptly. She helped out on at least one Board question.
