Random smoker note. My husband modified a Silver King cafeteria milk dispenser that he picked up at an auction somewhere for the smoker chamber. We just caught almost the same dispenser in the background on Bourdain's show last night.

Is there anything more soul crushing than not getting a job you thought you had a good shot at getting?

Getting a job you thought would be awesome and finding out that it sucks?

Yes. Losing 32 BIs the last 3 days.

having to feed the dog to your starving children

or vice versa

I had joust on my calc

Man, that's like 8 lattes!

one kid i knew had a TI-92+ in 6th grade

I went with the TI-89 in 6th grade cuz that's the highest you could use on standardized tests and in math competitions. I love that thing. Never really had a reason to use it in college though. But, Dr. Mario looked great on it.

I did see a TI-92 once in HS, chem teacher had one to play with. Pretty slick.

I'm trying to remember the code to get to minesweeper on the HP-48's. I think it was Purple->3->Utils->Mine

And yes, on top of the bitch of having to learn RPN, HP's did feature a "Purple" key.

what? I always liked RPN and it kept people from borrowing my calculator. Plus, Joust!

I remember when I was first told about RPN and HP calculators. I thought I was being bull****ted. That **** is wack.

And then I took a logic class. That **** is even more wack.

All these college kids are moving into town now, into their new dorms and houses, and I just ****ing hate them and their stupid ****ing faces, and ****ass Dave Matthews/Jack Johnson music that they play on speakers facing the road, and their SUVs their stupid *********** parents bought them for graduating high school (big ****ing deal) that they drive 90 mph in and nearly hit me whenever I'm walking anywhere, and their dumb ****ing conversations about omg this class blah blah omg I want a smoothie, and their t-shirts about whatever frat mixer they got raped or raped someone at, and their disgusting trashcans overflowing w/ pizza boxes and Heineken Light or whatever ******ed beer they think is good, and just basically everything about them, except some of the girls are sort of nice to look at, but **** them too.

I thought college kids stopped listening to Dave Matthews because old people started to?

freakin' 110 degree heat index here today in freakin' central Illinois. no such thing as dry heat here either. miserable.

Like I said, I'm old, so I have no idea. Insert whatever the offensively inoffensive, lame, acoustic-strumming, jammy, ball-less, crapola du jour is that these idiots roofie each other to.

Turn that misanthropic frown upside down, bitch.

Go ahead and hate on my college bound kid. Pretty sure he's cooler than you anyway.

If my my mother smoked her dinner, I'd probably be pretty cool too.
