Bunnies on water stilts
Tunes The Dandy Warhols - Shakin'

I had a very vivid, yet short, dream last night. The roles of all people were folks I knew from growing up in Oregon, seemingly picked at random. I was at an outside park area by a big lake. Some big party-fair-celebration thing was going on. In the lake there were people dressed in full bunny suits, in the water but on stilts, and they were probably three-four feet up from the water level. These bunny people would then push each other and fight until one fell down! It was great.

They also had food at this event. The two meals were pumpkin pie and vats of whipped cream. The whipped cream came in different colors and flavors! Anyway, I got a plate of pie and cream and went to the back 'sit-down' area. But, there was a guy in my way, and he was blocking everybody from getting past unless they answered his question. So, I say to the guy:
"Ask me your question gatekeeper, I'm not afraid."
"Yes, answer me this question! Are the restrooms ahead of your or behind you?"
"...since I only see grass and water in front of me, I'll say behind me."
"You are correct. You know, everybody's gotten that right."

I then walked to the back and picked up some mushroom-pineapple skewers. I also saw several people, including a couple that was introducing the final deathmatch round of rabbit madness. Then the alarm went off. Damn that alarm.

In other news, I was going through a Czechoslovakian website and came across this link to Bridget Jonesova. I love internationalization.

Citibank is a bunch of punks. Don't go with them. Punks punks punks.

I played a Half-Life 2 deathmatch yesterday w/ the ferocious Bunch and Garhan. Finally, worthy competition. It was awesome! Only in Half-Life 2 can you try to push a car to the roof of a building. I love this game. They really need more than two maps, though.

Lastly, this weekend I was hanging out with Caireny (my new roommate, I think), and she had me put some Pickle Twang in my beer. Dude, Pickle Twang does not go in beer! Good times were had though, twang or not. Saw The Kills, they were pretty good, though they looked completely strung out.

Good Lord guys, I turn my head for a day and you post in 'chapters'. When you start posting regular expressions, that's pretty dorky.

I've got a couple changes to make - don't worry Bug, you'll get your parsed links!
Bunch, 12-7-2004 with $19.35
yeah... I blame that on the wrist braces... sure...

anyway, a Disguise is supposed to be a sign you are trying to hide something or that someone is plotting against you in some way. Shit, you caught me!!! =) hehe.

Also, masks are listed, and those in the dream wearing masks may indicate you... [689 more to go]

/me is a freakin moron and hit tab before he should have... previous post to be completed...
Bunch, 12-7-2004 with $19.26
BUT, I do have a secret weapon!

My wife Dana has a wonderful mini-book called "Understanding Dreams". I personally find most of it to be complete bullshit, as much hype and cold-reading as any form of psychic ability.

However, consulting this "good book", I find...

Well, I find that sad as well, but what is truly troubling is that this is a far more reliable way to converse... ICQ seems to "forget" to deliver messages between us at times, possibly the fault of us somehow along the line, I suppose. But, this works for now! =)

On another note, I find it hilarous that... [608 more to go]
Garhan, 12-7-2004 with $18.31
Resistance is futile! Come over to the geek side of the force!

... there, the final stake in my "dork" coffin :)

I'm more fascinated with the fact that Bunches and I are using this as a replacement for ICQ at the moment!

You guys are alienating the dork-lite among us with your dork-heavy comments.
Garhan, 12-6-2004 with $21.10
Lag ... damned lag ...
Bunch, 12-6-2004 with $20.27
... sorry to make you feel old, but you ARE a few months older than I, so I guess you deserve it. I just recall that the last internet Quakeworld match we had wasn't as "one sided" as the old ones... hehe.
Garhan, 12-6-2004 with $20.23
"in his prime" ??? I feel old now ... thanks Bunch!

Allrighty, time to request another feature Krakles... parse those darned URLs and such already! How dare you make me reach for my CTRL-C (and SHIFT-INS, I feel nostalgic) keys to copy addresses and such... wait, I'm the only one who posts URLs ... ohh w... [727 more to go]

... if you think I was ferocious yesterday, try matching with me when I'm not wearing two wrist braces to fight the numbness in my hands... yesterday was me with a handicap! =)

I guess my skillz are well developed partly due to going to the Garhan Quake Deathmatch school. That guy, at least in his prime... [154 more to go]
Garhan, 12-6-2004 with $11.59
... the people around me (in the Union of UNL) are giving me funny looks because I'm laughing ... that gatekeeper comment gave me a visual of some odd combination of Ghostbusters, Montey Python, and your Robin Hood movie with the "bridge" scene ... anyway!

On a side note, while doing some research-ish crap... [489 more to go]
