You could play it safe and just dissolve the dark chocolate in your coffee Ub3r.

Isn't that technically a mocha then?

Mocha is a great painter and an awesome forum member!

20 years ago, I used to chase people on all fours and bark like a dog.

 

... Wow, I was a weird 4 year old.

 

Wow. I guess not much has changed in my mind, mrs. druid.... I don't chase people but I do make angry animal noises if I'm woken up too early.

In my defense, I was ... oh... wait. Disregard.

Good morning frands~

 

Breakfast tacos are one of my favorite breakfasts! I cannot stand all the sweets that a lot of folks like so early in the morning like syrups or cereals. Donuts are okay if I've had other food and I've been up for a few hours already haha. Breakfast tacos are a necessity when I pack for cons. Potato, egg, cheese, and fresh bacon crumblies all wrapped up in a tortilla! I freeze those, microwave them in the hotel, throw some picante or salsa on top... mmmmmm

 

I need that for breakfast tomorrow now.

This is why I like you. You get it.

 

I like mine with migas, refried beans, Spanish rice, bacon, and salsa. Mmmmm

There used to be a grocery store deli that made the best ones ever. But that store closed, it is all boarded up now...

One of my least favourite parts of being the sharepoint admin is the constant emails of "I can't find this file, can you find it for me?" Right, because I know where every single file is amongst the 200,000+ files that are stored on the site. You're looking for a safety document....so maybe you should look in the safety libraries or, I dunno, ask someone who works in the safety department???

Shaping up to be a good upcoming weekend. Going to see Batman v. Superman Friday night, playing D&D with the guys Saturday (my b-day), so my wife will bake whatever I want and then after the game we are going out to dinner wherever I want to.

You should copy/paste that Guindyloo...

Why do political signs around here still say things like "Vote for Soandso, punch this number"?

 

I don't think we've had punch ballots since shortly after the shambolic 2000 election, hanging chads and all that rubbish.

 

It's an archaism like "Don't touch that dial! ("What dial?" my kids asked)

 

Why are save icons still floppy disks? I've not even seen an actual floppy disk in years.

One can punch a button. [?] Buttons are still a thing...aren't they?

 

If that was all part of the pun train —nevermind— griffins fail at puns.

 

Not in my town.  It's been fill-in-a-gap-with-a-black-pen ever since they took away the perforated ballots with little awls to punch holes in them.

 

Well, that or a computer touch screen.  Not something you ever want to punch anyway.

Sadly, no access to chocolate. Well, there is some pudding I found in the cupboard, I suppose that can do for now.

 

Huzzah!

I like to randomly search Wikipedia sometimes. Turns out that the 'Murgatroyd' from Snagglepuss's 'Heavens to Murgatroyd' refers to an English surname. Johanus de Morgateroyde, or literally: Johanus of Moor Gate Royde.

More Gatorade?

 

On the subject of filling tortillas, I once made wonton burritos because of a throwaway line from Futurama.

Problem is that calling Sharepoint's search system an Dwarfkitten Waste of an Elf would be a kindness.

Why are save icons still floppy disks? I've not even seen an actual floppy disk in years.

 

 

Most of the save icons I've seen have been micro floppy disks.

 

For reference, that would be the 3½" disk. 5¼" disks are mini floppy disks. "Floppy disk", unmodified, properly refers to 8" floppies.
