It's amazing how a trivial, chance event can amplify itself, over the course of years, in the collective conscience of a group of loved ones until it becomes an integral part of the language.

I have that dream too. There are times where I dream I am still in high school.

It is the only game I've seen that has a literally shroomy segment.

Heh! Just a couple of days ago I ran across a medical journal article about the shroom3 gene; I'll write something about that.

Yes, it is unfortunate: if terrorists "hate freedom," and we respond to them by curtailing our freedom, aren't we giving in to the terrorists?

I did see that Onion article. I have mixed feelings about that: at least we're concentrating on a more relevant location, but what do we expect to accomplish?
