Why was the post office so busy today? There were about 20 people in line, and only two people behind the counter. It took me 20 minutes for a 5 minute interaction. Blaaaah.

basti: How do we generate a parsing grammar for sex? In set notation, I was thinking = { (x,y) | (x,y) E S } where S = { set all erogenous zones }
basti: But that doesn't include a lot of activities
basti: But if we apply a Kleene star to that, we end up with a lot of activities that are generally not considered sex
basti: So I think we need a more complicated grammar

My parents take the fun out of everything
Me: I'd come home from college with my ear pierced, and you and dad would just freak out.
Mom: I wouldn't mind if you got your ear pierced.
Me: Wait, so, I could go out and do it right now and you wouldn't care?
Mom: Do you have the money for it?

– Beccah
These haikus so hot/you'll get burned if you stand...
Beccah: I'm really thirsty/I'm going to get a glass./Water, milk, or juice?
Andrew: Juice.
Andrew:
Andrew: That was my hakiu/It was terrible, I know/I should try harder.
Beccah: I love Pixar shorts/If only I had some more/I would watch them all.
Andrew: There is a new set/of all the Pixar movies/But it is not cheap.
Beccah: I am seventeen/Pixar makes me feel like I/Might be five or six.
Andrew: I felt like that once,/When I saw WALL-E, and I/was the oldest kid.
Beccah: I never saw that/They talked about it in class/Today I am old.
Beccah: Paul has not seen it/I am not the only one/But still, I am sad.
Andrew: You should go see it!/It is an excellent film./Robotic lovers.
Beccah: I don't know, maybe./Ohio is for lovers./So said Hawthorne Heights.
Beccah: It might just be me/Counting syllables makes for/Intelligent speech.
Andrew: Hawthorne Heights? What's that?/A man named like a movie?/A film about him?
Beccah: No, it is a band.
Beccah: Haha, a very scene band./This haiku was fail.
Andrew: Fail pail nail scale whale./Do scene kids have their own scene?/Or are they just "scene?"
Beccah: They are plain and scene./This song is from Repo Man/They do not know much.
Beccah: The lyrics go like/Cut my wrists and black my eyes/I can sleep tonight.
Andrew: Here cometh the Repo,/As he takes your stuff he says,/"Don't evade taxes."
Beccah: Because you kill me/Oh, you do, you kill me well/Blah blah, scene, scene, scene.
Andrew: Someone should write songs/with the verses in haiku./I'd listen to it.
Beccah: Tally Hall did it./It is kind of amazing./But then it hits chorus.
Andrew: Haiku-less chorus.../That is a major cop-out./They should be ashamed.
Beccah: I suppose you're right/But they are the Tally Hall/And they have their rights.
Beccah: Just like all of us/We are all American/We like our freedom.
Andrew: We like it too much./We don't see how anyone/wouldn't like it, too.
Beccah: Freedom is not free/Safety is not very safe/They are telling lies.
Andrew: A conspiracy!/Those would be good in a song./"Safety is not safe"
Andrew: "Freedom is not free"/"And they are all telling lies"/Or something like that.
Beccah: We only have to/Look and see the tyranny/Refrigerator.
Andrew: Haha, a classic./How do you end a haiku?/Name an appliance.
Beccah: Unless it's toaster,/microwave, oven, iron,/or George Foreman grill
Andrew: Or "As-Seen-On-TV"/A Ronco rotisserie/Won't fit either line.
Beccah: A George Forman wins/a Ronco rotisserie/Every day, all night.
Andrew: All of this haiku/makes me read everything like/it's five-seven-five
Beccah: Alex Ledo is/The coolest hero ever./End of the story.
Andrew: What did he do now?/I would agree; he is cool./Almost like sliced bread.
Beccah: Ledo is sliced bread./He kicks major ass, takes names./Just like Bruce Campbell.
Beccah: He just sent me/A copy of his college/Essay that he wrote.
Beccah: Anyway, I've got/Macroeconomics and/A lot of damn work.
Beccah: Excuse me while I/Attempt to get nothing done./Trying is futile.
Andrew: I've got guitar/Macroeconomics blows/Think about kitties!

kaiju:
my pro flickr account will go poof in about half a year. I don’t want to pay for it again. I hardly use flickr for much nowadays— none of my favorite builders are doing anything and I don’t need flickr to keep up with the masses of crap out there. I can manually check what I want to see.
So, should I just delete my 4 year-old flickr account? It would let me get a new username and let me...

Computer’s back. :D
My computer is still in the shop.
Does anyone know a good service for me to store all sorts of notes? I want to toss up stuff like artists I want to listen to, dates, pictures, etc. I know about Evernote, but I don’t have Leopard.

Question:

robot-heart:
You walk into a bathroom. There are six stalls. The first stall from the door has residual poo in the bowl. The second stall from the door is occupied. All others, including the extra-large handicapped stall furthest from the door, are empty.
Which one do you use?
(Boys, substitute “urinal” for “stall.”)
The one so that there are two between the one being used and me.
