You'll get better.
I did.
Either ya'll need to stop being funny, or I need to stop reading this at work.








Yeah....I don't think either will happen, either.

How you know dis?  Mebbe he did, mebbe he didn't.  :D

dis how I know

Is there any online evidence of Jim speaking with Bob the Skull's voice?  I hear that it is very good.
I don't think so.  When I asked Jim if he would be willing to read a snippet of Bob at the dinner, he said, "Potentially."  Didn't happen.  Ah well.

Just reading this has made my day.  I am really looking forward to the Con.   ;D

I know I know. I'm also not going to say it though. why ruin the fun of a fresh clean reading for people?

Also just because he didn't read in Bob's voice doesn't mean he's not there. <evil grin>

Great. Now Sue doesn't want to go to the con because our airport (Newark) MIGHT put in full-body scanners. Yes, I find them loathsome and a strong indication of how our security agencies are substituting the idiocy of numbers for actual security, but it's... bah, it's getting into TT and I ain't goin' there.

While I understand peoples objections to them I myself don't mind them. it's over in a second you can't see the screen and then you are on your way. As far as radiation exposure it's quite minimal unless you fly a great Deal. I hope Sue will reconsider it wouldn't be the same without you both.

It's ok.  I enjoy going to the eye doctor.

If push comes to absolute no other choice shove, I can always amend my plans and pick you and Sue up on the way down, Shecky. If you're able to help me with gas to defray the cost and don't mind that my car's not huge, I'd be willing. Alternately, maybe me, you, Sue, whingnut, and Starbeam can throw in for a van rental and all drive down together.

Just have Sue tell them she's pregnant. It's what I do on my frequent flights to DC...
