I am very happy to read these posts. It's not easy to have notoriety and pretty much have accurate conceptions in the public mind. Virtually everything said her about me is accurate.

I never wanted a spotlight or fame. I built computers and handed out schematics. I at first said "no" to starting Apple because I loved my work at HP (Calculators) and could always design on the side.

I have always been an amateur comedian. I had this idea... [more]

I know what will happen. Conclusively. Here is what will happen.

The first plane on the conveyor will stand there and block the conveyor like a god damned goober while another more important plane that really, really, needs to get where it's going gets stuck behind it. A plane that doesn't have god damned time to contemplate "if the the Cinnabon on concourse 3 is open, and oh, look, they have a Starbuck here, too?"

And so plane number... [more]

I've already discovered this so-called bomb. It's called a case of beer.

If it gets jostled too much will it turn to ice cream on the way?

Fuck Jabber. We need to raise the bar for having conversations back to "meeting face to face" to reduce the number of stupid, pretentious, self-important, inane conversations on the Internet.

I just put one on my tongue and got a mild shock. I really had to get the whole surface in contact with my tongue to get an effect. Of course, I didn't leave it there too long -- hopefully the baby would do the same. (The things I do for AskMetaFilter!)

In the city where Gerald Ford was president, Anna Nicole Smith recently died on the Metro while Joshua Bell was playing James Brown-meets-Saddam Hussein on a portabello mushroom and NO ONE FROM METAFILTER STOPPED TO SIDEBAR IT....

Sometimes, when I'm in the library, I look up and see all the other people sitting quietly alone reading the newspapers or browsing magazines and I think, what would it be like if a 50's musical or a Pepsi commercial suddenly broke out here? What if the tall good-looking kid over there jumped up on his table, swept his laptop and his books off onto the floor with one pass of his leg, grabbed the cute girl passing by and tugged her up onto the table with him, started singing of his love in a...

A lot of this kind of talk basically amounts to the following:

Q: You like sex? You are a person who likes the sex acts that we are currently engaged in?
A: Yes! I am! I like sex!
Q: You like sex! In fact, you are a person who likes sex as much as a prostitute likes sex!
A: YES I LIKE SEXY SEX AS IF IT WERE MY PROFESSION!! TELL ME MORE ABOUT IT
Q: YOU ENJOY THIS ACT YOU SEXY SEX PERSON etc.

So,... [more]

when i am not, those times i tend to post stupid or vitriolic things, or things that make mefi a more fun place for me rather than a better place in general. for those times i could use a different username: clearlyinebriatedhuman.

I would just like to warn you, in case you didn't know, that if clearlyinebriatedhuman does something banworthy, chances are not insignificant that you, localhuman, will also get locked out of this tepid wonderland. Plus,... [more]

Well, it looked pretty crappy in preview. But who lives their life like that? Always checking. Checking for keys, wallet & clothes every time they leave the house. Pah. This is the real world, if we want to play it safe we may as well start teaching our grandmothers to look before they suck kettles or calling them pots. Hmm..? You know I'm right.

I used to work for a major U.S. women's shoe manufacturer, in the manufacturing end of the business, and I also worked for many years, at least part time, in retail women's shoe sales. I don't live in St. Paul or Minneapolis, so I can't offer any specific suggestions about stores in that locale, but maybe I can offer some other suggestions that will be useful.

First, if your wife hasn't had her feet measured in a while, it's important that she get someone who knows how... [more]
