    I don't know. I'm just as guilty of not clicking them as you are.

    Links in his posts, that were there to enhance his arguments. Sad, unclicked links...

    I, too, am guilty of not always clicking them. But they were interesting when I did.

    Alcore... Katie... how on Earth is your post count catching up to mine? Wasn't I 100 ahead, once? HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS!?

    Obama's about to talk. Something about national security.

    Well, I do talk to other people on here, you know. Especially, yesterday when I recruited Splash as our rubber band courier.

    Also, I started posting in the Jurassic Park sub-forum a little.

    Also, it's about time they finally killed that fuck Bin Laden.

    Apparently they triple-checked the DNA and the body so yes, it appears that he's been killed.

    Which begs the question of where they got the DNA to compare it with in the first place.

    Your name is Katie? Seems I've found a pic of you then.

    Dammit! I told people to stop posting pictures of me on facebook!

    Looks like I have to have a little "talk" with some of my "friends".

    Porblem? Or is this Comrade Mortis's fault?

    Also, my thoughts on Bin Laden as stolen from a Facebook comment that I made.

    "You know, the guy *did* want to die as a martyr. They're probably worshiping the guy in radical circles right now. Ideally, we'd have caught him, humiliated him, disgraced him and forced him to apologize and discredited Jihad. All we did in killing him was make his legacy and his ideals carry more weight."

    I was happy the fucker was dead at first. Now? Now the terror of this idea is sinking in.

    Comrade Mortis has a serious thing about pictures. In that she rarely allows anyone to take them.

    My beef with this picture is that it isn't even a good one. The lighting's horrible and what's up with my smile? I look like a deranged psycho. Which isn't entirely off, I suppose...

    Yeah...I was wondering about this as well. I don't think this can really end well at all.

    One of his daughters actually lives in the United States, IIRC. She was appalled by her father's actions and I imagine she would have given the DNA - or possibly have been forced to surrender it.

    EDIT: It was his niece, Wafah Dufour, nee bin Laden.

    Huh. Well, that's a little fishier. Ah well, no doubt they'll keep on testing, just to be sure. I know I would.

    He was also killed alongside several family members. Operation was a chopper drop, so they would have pretty clean bodies.

    Hell, they're still testing Hitler's remains.

    Yes. Also, we have the body so Al Qaeda can't pull a Weekend At Berny's and convince us he's not dead.

    I just had the most hilarious mental image. And also a disturbing one.

    Things that happened to me today:

    I got brake cleaner shot into my left eye.

    The arm on my glasses broke off.
  • edited May 2011
    That sucks.

    On a different note, the thing that is on my mind right now is using Osamas death as an excuse to go get another can of soda, even though I've had too much already.
  • edited May 2011
    I spent 15 minutes flushing my eye out and it's a lot better now, and I liked my last pair of glasses so much, I got the same frames again, so I was able to change out the arm from the old pair.
  • edited May 2011
    Eye issues can be really horrible, good thing you got better.

    As a matter of fact, I'm having some eye issues myself now... for a month or so.
    I suspect it's that I have very dry eyes or something, in any case they burn and sting a lot, and are often very red. Hoping it'll pass someday soon.

    That's very fortunate. When I broke my glasses, I had to wear them taped up for three months before I could get a replacement pair. And my contacts, which I have worn ever since. :D

    This sort of thing only happens once a lifetime.

    I couldn't stand wearing contacts normally. I have a box of one-day ones for each eye, which I'll wear for costumes, but that's all. Aside from comfort issues and my superhuman blink reflex, I just prefer the way I look with glasses.

    Also, I would imagine that having a contact lens in your eye would be a bit of a hindrance when trying to flush a chemical out of your eye.

    Oh, by the way, you know how I got the brake cleaner in my eye? My dad was standing a few feet away from me, inserting the straw thing into the can while I was doing something else, and he just barely managed to hit the button, and the un-aimed spray managed to hit me right in the eye from several feet away.

    I used to think very much the same way about contacts. And I used to spend a half-hour a day putting my contacts in so that I could wear them an hour before I'd have to take them out again. But strangely enough, you adjust to it. It now takes me all of five seconds to put them in and I can wear them for sixteen to eighteen hours (sometimes more).

    I can't say anything about how you look because I don't know what you look like and besides, that's personal preference. But I can say that with chemicals (since I'm a biochemist, I know this) you just pop out the contacts first and then do the eye-flushing. A bit of a hindrance, but perfectly doable.

    I'd post a picture, but I don't have any pictures of myself where I don't need a haircut, and I can't take one now because 1. I'm terrible at taking pictures of myself, and 2. I currently need a haircut.

    Do it anyway! Nobody will notice the haircut or lack thereof if you don't draw attention to it. Also, nobody ever looks good in pictures that haven't been airbrushed. It's a fact.

    I concur. And slightly-too-long hair is sometimes the best kind of hair.

    That's only true if you're gonna get the camera right up in their face. Nice lighting, an expensive lens and a genuine smile will make almost anyone look good.

    Huh. Maybe it's just me then. I'm never happy with my pictures. The photographer (whoever it happens to be) always manages to get the exact wrong angle somehow.

    What about way-too-long hair?

    DSC01922.jpg

    My best guess is that this photo is from about four years ago. What I do know is that it's from the day my hair was cut, and this is the longest it's ever been.
