damnit, some dude's assistant dog took a big shit in the rec room XC

I'd replace the donuts with the dog shit.

the moment we figured it out, we vacated with the donut boxes in our hands

I think WW1 must have stuck in the British national memory a lot more than the American one; I spent around a year learning about the war, some of the tactics used (digging tunnels towards enemy trenches then setting large bombs was my favourite. Didn't work too well, though.) and the treaty of Versailles and its' implications on the German nation (Hyperinflation, some of the attempts at revolution and Hitler's rise to power). I remember most of it quite well, even if there was an irritating focus on the political cartoons of the period.

I suppose that's what happens when you get into wars that completely strip some towns and villages of their men due to a combination of stupid army organisation and the belief that massed infantry charges against machine guns will work eventually...

The Battle of the Somme is another nasty one worth looking at.

My step-Dad gave me a box telling me to pack everything I own in it.  We lost our house and I'll be living with my Grandma for awhile until we find another place.

Owch. Hope things get sorted out quick for you. That... really, really sucks.

...one question though: Wouldn't 6Z be a subgroup of 3Z simply because all multiples of 6 are also multiples of 3? Though there's a good chance I have no idea what I'm talking about. Especially since I'm doing set theory this semester... which started today.

Yes.  This is why I'm so disappointed.

...so I understand the math better than some people in your class, before taking the class? Why are these people majoring in math exactly?

Probably for the money and prestige you get if you do it with an allied field.

I dunno.

[breadbocks]

My house if overrun with good food, but no one to eat it. :*(

I am dismayed because no one is responding to my posts in the rhetoric place.  They seem to prefer discussing how Freud's methodology resembles soup or artichokes.

No joke.

*sigh*

Well, at least it's a little bit better, I guess.

[breadbocks]

Freud's methodology is more like broccoli. It is repulsive at first glance, and doesn't go down well if prepared the wrong way.

Freud's methodology is more like broccoli. It is repulsive at first glance, and doesn't go down well if prepared the wrong way.

I was gonna make some extra analogy, saying that it depends on other foods as it's no good by itself, but it would be wildly inaccurate because broccoli is one of the few foods that are just fine steamed.

Freud's methodology is nothing like broccoli.
If anything, it's more like a carrot or cucumber.
Maybe banana if we're counting fruits.

[Tack]

Just gonna skip right here and say that I had Vector's basic reaction to general anesthetic. It's general, not global.

But instead of writing stuff about the dichotomy of the world, I managed to concentrate on a board across the room from me, and proceeded to read and re-read it until I could understand the word 'anesthetist'.

[Lord Shonus]

If WWI interests you, try the classic Dreadnought. It's not about the war itself, but the diplomatic intrigue, shifting treaties, and armaments races that helped cause it to be such a clusterfuck.



Of course, one of the biggest mistakes in WWI was dismissing the American Civil War as "pointless armed mobs." All the lessons that were learned at such a cost in WWI had already been learned in the ACW, particularly the terrible power of fortified defenders against mass charges.

Another often-lost fact from WWI? France invented the blitzkrieg.

[Keita]

I'm slightly confused at how in London, it so freaking hot after be measerably all day yesturday.

I hate the wheather, it makes me sad face =(

Brian Jacques died.

Now who will transcribe long songs and write overly detailed descriptions of feasts?  D:
