@The Analrapist: Half Analyst Half Therapist: I assume, based on the BSG reference, that you turn off the WiFi on your Zune since you wouldn't want the toasters to invade your OS on your networked device, right?
Going off on an inappropriate tangent, but how is it that the systems on Galactica talked to each other if they had no networking? When they send the command to jump is it going through an old RS232 cable? And, really, isn't that just a form of networking anyway? Clearly the show was beyond me.
This cult is going too far. I want you to know, when I find you all lying in beds with purple sheets over your torso's, a five dollar bill and three quarters in each of your pockets, and brand new black-and-white Nike Windrunners on your feet, I will remember this moment.

@The Analrapist: Half Analyst Half Therapist: I don't worship certain products or certain people, so I have been stripped of all stardom. It's better this way (sometimes they don't notice me sneak in).

@Mike Zuniga: That was Unexpected: I love that guy. He's totally right about the lava-hot inside, and you gotta love the mysteriously frozen-solid chunks floating in the magma.
Things I feel chairs should never be made of/coated with:
1. Leather (unless there's no summer)
2. Sandpaper (because...ouch)
3. Silk (need I say more?)
4. Felt (Look to #2...and add that stuff they make the backs of dish sponges with)
5. Metal (because it will be really cold in the winter...and if you ever walk around in the nude...you're gonna jump right out)
Chairs should be covered with cloth. Like clothes. That feels good. And stuffed with something that will neither make your ass sweat nor leave your ass in pain.
@AciSpades: Steel wool. That's what they make the back of sponges with, unless they are cheap bastards. Then I think they use felt, or something like it.
I second the "Metal". Here in NY, we have metal benches at most of our bus-stops. In NY. Metal. Benches. Anyone who sits there in the winter is begging to get frost-bite. It's a fucking disgrace.
There is also a 30 minute wait for some buses in the middle of nowhere, only really accessible because they are a transfer point between two bus routes...
Toss in the shelters that don't actually shelter you from the wind, the cold, or the snow, and you have commuters in risk of freezing to death, not just the homeless who try and sleep there.
I'm pretty sure it's the reason for all of this is they don't want the homeless to sleep in the bus shelters, so they make them completely FUCKING USELESS. I'd rather have to deal with the smell of piss while waiting for a bus than lose my toes to frostbite because a bus didn't show up.

That is all we ask for, why is it so hard!? :(
