Note to self: don't blog without first having your morning coffee. I've decided to do my Dell rant off the top of the show today. Someone sent me a workaround and illustrated it (point by point). Oh, and we have a special surprise for everyone who watches the entire show. Iowa's own Joyce Howard created and mailed me (quite possibly) the most creative item I have ever received. If we had our own set, I would love to showcase it permanently. For the time being, it'll stay next to Gregory's caricature in my cubicle. That is, my career development center.
Ever wonder what married people IM to one another? Me too.
Gretchen says: I think Sprocket has hemorrhoids. Chris Pirillo says: Timba, his ass swollen. Chakka, when his butt swelled. Gretchen says: Is this really Chris? Chris Pirillo says: Yes, it's me. I know you left your ugly aqua-colored comb out again. Gretchen says: Yeah, why the hell was it in the shower, may i ask? Quit moving my stuff lest your own be moved. Chris Pirillo says: Ooooh! Time out. Gretchen says: I have one load in the washer that is done and need to put the other one in. Chris Pirillo says: I put my stufF AWAY – YOU LEAVE YOUR STUFF OUT. Gretchen says: Ooooh! Time out. What do you call your clothes all over the bedroom? Do I need to blog again? Don't make me blog. Gretchen says: I'll do it, I'm warning you! Gretchen says: Ahhhhh! This damn server!

Re: the married couple talk. Things Paul and I have talked about:
- kids: the little pischer peed in his pants again and wouldn't let me change his pants without kicking and screaming. Whiney girl cried when I tried to show her how to spell something.
- things to do: pick up this, pick up that, call so 'n so
- gripes: why did you forget [fill in blank], you [fill in the blank with name]?!?! [name annoying family member] is at it again. Here's what she did this time…
- [censored] the rare, married couple pre-activity-when we get home tonight talk
- work: son of a female dog co-worker did [fill in idiotic move]
You get the idea.

Nice ST TNG reference, somehow though I don't think “Timba, his ass swollen” would have made it into the script!

I love that she now has the power of blog-threats. :) (Disclaimer: I mean that in the happy fun loving way it was intended, not in the negative way that has been voiced previously.)
For the sake of those of us that work and therefore miss your show, do we get to see the latest gift? The one from Joyce? Please? Pretty please? With sugar on top?

May I just point out that Chris left out some very interesting parts of our IM conversation! If only I still had that log, you could see more of the hilarity that ensued. Oh wait, maybe some of it was off-color… that may be why Chris edited it out. :) Never mind, honey!

Clearly there's a reason why you're getting screw while others are getting laid.
(That's about the most peculiar subtitle to a weblog I've seen, heh, yes yr only joking but as Freud said — no, better yet, what Thomas Kyd said –in the Spanish Tragedy,
Beneath feign-ed jest
Things are concealed which else would breed unrest.
Or something like that.
Wit & it's relation to the subsconscious.
