Every time I re-string my guitars, I end up drifting off and daydreaming just long enough that I grab one of the ends of the strings (aka deadly 1/4 inch long steel spikes) wrong and it goes straight into and through my finger.
One of these days I'll remember this before I mess with the strings, and not after I get a metal splinter halfway...

I want to do a cover of Devo's song, "Jocko Homo," but I'm struggling with coming up with a couple replacement lyrics, since I obviously can't use the line "we are Devo!" Devo will be replaced with Decay, and I therefore must replace every word that rhymes with Devo with one that rhymes with decay, including the title "Jocko Homo."

Hell if I know, but I'd like to hear it when you're done.
I'm surprised more people didn't go with the "lottery ticket" answer. A few replies did suggest savings accounts or trust funds, but apparently people are either so honest and responsible that the thought of cheating at gambling doesn't occur to them, or they don't want to take the money of other optimistic suckers who fund the lottery system. Weird.

If you were a superhero, what would your super power be? Flight? Invisibility? Super Strength? The ability to cut guns in half with your mind and be terribly mysterious?
Not me. That shit is all for poseurs. If I was a superhero, first of all, i'd probably be a super villian, but even then, I'd have the same power: The power of projectile vomiting. Nobody...

Does this power not already exist somewhere in the comics universe? 
I'm trying to remember, but I think my recollection is all tangled up with a curse that was inflicted on a PC in my campaign a few years back (not my curse, I hasten to add).
Re: indifference to videos that don't feature people you find interesting -- is this true of sets as well?

If you built a living thing, atom by atom, electron by electron, 100% accurate to its living counterpart, would it be alive and function as a living thing? If you built a plant like this, would it grow? If you built a man, would he speak? Would he have memories?

Oooh. Okay. Then I have to confess to ignorance: I have never seen that movie, and only vaguely know its premise and plot.
I think I mostly gave up on reinventing the self in college, when I realized that, at least as far as I was concerned, it was too self-absorbed and impractical to be worth spending much more time on. To borrow the immortal words of Popeye, I yam what I yam. I'm sure that'll change over time, but not by any terribly conscious process. It just happens, as time happens to us all.
Now I just try to make sure the things in my life comport with where I want it to go and what I want it to be. Much more pragmatic.

One of the guys I work with brought in his kid's trick or treat bag to work last night. That's messed up. I'd have gone all Menendez Brothers on my parents if they stole my trick or treat candy and gave it to their co-workers . That poor kid panhandled that shit fair and square. He should be allowed to enjoy thr fruits of his...

It is a strange, strange place where you work.
Looking back, my parents always took away our trick-or-treat bags after we'd picked out about two handfuls of candy each. They just put it in the pantry, where it eventually turned stale and nasty. It would probably have been for the best if they'd taken it to work.

Just had the night from hell at work. Customer was performing maintenance. Then we had an outage that affected the same customer. Then We performed more maintenance affecting this same customer even further. I couldn't even tell if our maintenance worked or not, there were so many alarms coming in. This is an especially sensitive customer, so I'm sure we'll be hearing about it all...

Civilization IV may just be the greatest videogame ever made. It fixed all the crap they fucked up in Civ 3, fixed some of the stuff that was always wrong in Civs 1 and 2, and it just overall rocks. If you have no desire to ever be a part of society again, I highly recommend picking it up.

The transverse property of babies and sex:
Anything bad that you do, is immediately worse if you do it to a baby. Especially sex.
Anything good you do, it immediately better if you do it for a baby. Except sex.
Sex ruins everything. Except babies.
No, I'm not going to be a daddy. I just have weird conversations at work.

While mosh pits are in general stupid and lame, the thought of a one-man mosh pit amuses me to no end. Just one dude, going berserk, throwing himsrelf around, stage diving into nothing. genius.

Somebody told me tonight that I'm "terribly funny."
I'm not quite sure how to interpret that.
If I was an egotist, I may interpret as meaning I'm very funny,
If I was a Milquetoast, I'd probably think it meant I was terrible at being funny.
If I was a sadist, I'd believe that my terrible nature was funny.
If I was empathic, I'd think that...
