Things I wish I had known just a little bit sooner

Baldy's closed today at 6pm, instead of 7pm.

It was taco night!

Sir Arthur Charles Clarke Has Left The Party

If I have given you delight
By aught that I have done,
Let me lie quiet in that night
Which shall be yours anon:
And for that little, little span
The dead are borne in mind
Seek not to question other than
The books I leave behind.

            Rudyard Kipling,
            "The Appeal"

Arthur C. Clarke, a visionary science fiction writer who won worldwide acclaim with more than 100 books on space, science and the future, died Wednesday in his adopted home of Sri Lanka at 1:30am local time. He was 90. Clarke had been battling debilitating post-polio syndrome since the 1960s.

One hopes that he has found a home in Secular Heaven. He will certainly be missed.

What's my age again?

When I was getting my lunch at Baldy's today, the guy behind the counter asked me if I was visiting my kids here at the college.

WTF?

How old would I have to be to have college-age kids?

AFK, crying.

How much are you worth in bed?

Normally I avoid all things Internet-quizy, but this one's about sex. And like sex, I couldn't resist it.
