So my mom's brother Ed died yesterday. He had jaw cancer several years ago that appeared to be treated, but recently he was developing tumors in his lungs and brain. His time was up.
Although death is sad, I think my mom's side of the family handles it really well. It's an occasion for people to get together and share great stories about the person....

sorry to hear about this. hugs to you.
Damn! I wasn't drunk enough last night to ask the Guinness swag girl if she likes it in the can.
I lost $1 today! I'd tell you why that's meaningful, but I just don't care to talk about that here. But part of what's important is that I lost only $1.

Hey, I just resurrected an old thread, and it made me ask the big What Is A Newsgroup, And How Do You Use One? question.

Moderators just help the staff sort through when people make complaints about comments on the boards. I'm sorry to say I won't be at Prom this year.
Happy birthday to Antonin Scalia, Sam Donaldson, Rupert Murdoch, Johnny Knoxville, Nina Hartley, Joey Buttafuoco, Nina Hagen, Douglas Adams (RIP,) Bobby McFerrin (RIP

This may be the best year ever! I'm holding off on sharing all of my good news because I don't want to jinx it.

SG is great. If a particular section of SG isn't working for you, ignore it, or come up with a better way to discuss why you don't like it. I wasn't the only one that thought your comments were really condescending. The news stories on the boards are clearly marked with NEWS so just skip those stories if you aren't happy with them.
We are still figuring out how we want to do everything in the news wire, it's a new feature, and we are new editors. I won't repeat the part about the lacking submissions again, but I will say again that I didn't think there was any problem with posting that story.

That girl I've been kinda dating, well, it's turned into something more for sure. I was afraid she was long-term material, and that would be bad timing for where I am right now. Then she tells me she's cursed with short relationships. Now, I don't know whether we'll have something short or long, but the important thing is...

Well, the joke is with the FAQ that I get emailed a new survey about every day, so I consider that "frequently asked." It is not essential reading material.

I'm sorry for those of you who feel lonely today. I'm alone but not lonely, so I don't sympathize, but I do care.
So my housemate, bless her heart, has been trying to set me up for well over a year now. It didn't take me long to find out that she's not a good matchmaker. She was looking for who she would want to...

yeah, I figured the dramatic change in appearance/name might be confusing, so I cleared that up right away
I figured clever people such as yourself had the right idea... using their actual names... so much easier irl.

So I've been back from Thailand for a few days and I'm having trouble thinking what to write about it.
First off, I have to report that I saw a place called "Wang Come Hotel."
What did we do there? Part of the tour consisted of seeing ancient temples and palaces. Another part was seeing products of Thailand. We went to factories making paper, tea,...

Whoa, I'm jealous! You went to Thailand? I've always wanted to go... And, yes, yes, you're right. I am just in limbo I guess, hehe. That wasn't what I was referring to, but it works too.
Yay! I got my passport.
The Simpsons are going to Thailand!

That comment about the Booya in my journal was priceless. And I don't think anyone got Nut Poppers.

Sorry you missed it 
it was an amazing night. We are dancing at Cafe International in SF on the 28th. I'll post some info when I get more.
When do you leave for Thailand? I really want to go to Asia at some point.

Shit!
I'm supposed to be traveling to Thailand next week, but I'm worried that I won't get to go. My new passport was mailed to me on December 30th, and it never arrived. I have to see if I can get a passport in four days!
If I don't go, I'll have to find some little Thai girl to rub my feet over here.

I think she swallowed him whole earlier then shat him out balls last.
Just thought this brilliant quote ought to be posted somewhere where it's be easier to review it.

Right now we're table 9, though it's really slow and boring right now; not much chat going on whatsoever. It tends to happen around this time of night, which for many of the people there is past 3 AM.
