@Signal to Noise: To be fair, I think I've only ever experienced Del Taco and Taco Bell once. It's more work to try to find one of them instead of the hundreds of taco shops on every corner in San Diego.

Goodbye To All That

Signal to Noise — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 01:11:49 EDT

@Avian Bone Syndrome: yup, that's kinda snobby. I don't mind it too much, but I obviously wouldn't mistake either for world-changing good.

Goodbye To All That

@Signal to Noise: In other words it's pretty foul. Or maybe that's just me being a taco/burrito snob.

@J-No: Little from column A, little from column B.

And Conoway scores to give the Ducks the 5-4 win!!!! (yes, Im watching that godawful movie)

The bride wants to approve it in advance (for obvious reasons, besides the fact Im a bit daft).

Goodbye To All That

racistmascot_inc — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 23:40:25 EDT

From what I gathered, stars aren't determined by followers/# of posts, they are given by certain people (Rob, probably Will), but Rob stopped giving them from what I read.

Probably because he knows we're all petty egomaniacs.

I'd love to say it's because of my girlfriend, but we both know that's not true (though we are still together). I decided I was going to flunk out of school if I spent half of my day on Deadspin, so I had to go cold turkey for a while and get all my shit together academically. Now that I've done that, I can return triumphantally....well, at least I can return.

@Hank Scorpio-Steinbrenner: I never understood the logic behind sending a kid to boarding school. Something about being away from their parents and together with other "troubled" kids makes for a dangerous combination.

@The Boy Wonder: Yeah, smoking was a huge no-no at mine. They actually locked the gates when classes were in session, so that technically nobody could sneak outside the campus to try anything funky. Didn't stop us from finding the one classroom that faced the road and sneaking out of its windows, though.

@chilltown: Yeah, from California to the middle of nowhere England. Apparently the pretentious San Diego and Los Angeles private schools weren't keen on accepting an 11-year-old that got kicked out of their last school for getting kicked out of religious ed almost every day for a semester and asking the headmistress if she felt she was wasting her life being devoted to such a hypocritical religion just to offend her. That was fun.
