set riders to "stun"

The Actore: Bad news by the way, my freeloader...er, sorry, daughter has "very important, mandatory" rehearsals for her chamber orchestra the entire friggin' weekend of Aspiration Day.  I'm so bummed! I thought for sure we'd be able to come but now the only way it would work is if I left a 12 year-old girl by herself for a weekend, with my credit card so she could uber herself to rehearsals unsupervised as she shares a ride with drivers known to be subjected to only the most rigorous,...sorry, lackadaisical of background checks....and I'm half thinking of doing it!

b1-66er: that's certainly what I'd do.  it's how I got to where I am today!

TA: Hahaha!!

b1: just like everything in life, it's nothing that can't be solved with a reduced credit line and a taser.

special K: Blade Runner replicants are due <1 year from now.

b1-66er: thank god.

K: http://www.google.com/nexus/6/
Reality is always so disappointing.
"You Nexus 6! I design your eyes!"

b: come now, K.  you don't mean that.  remember Apollo XI.

K: You're right. It was a flip statement and it's not true. I take it back.

b: okay.  I just can't have you openly trashing on the past of all humanity.  especially when the average person hasn't seen the cool stuff.

K: Thanks for reeling me in.

b: you play better as a stupid optimist, a blind follower or a bad influence.  but not as a snipe.

K: so true.

... when he was 8, he thought he'd have a computer you could talk to ...

special K: when I was 9 and the moon landing happened, I assumed it would become the 51st state.

the root of the problem

CB: Have to write my performance goals for the year. They need to match the corporate "goal tree". It's an exercise that I truly can't do. It's the part of big company stuff that I find so annoying. Small price to pay, but I'll be happy when its done.

b1-66er: you are the sap of the corporate goal tree.
