My latest craze is Facebook. It is probably one of the best "Social Networking" sites I've found to date. And trust me.. this is something I've been researching since the dialup BBS days in 1979. (Yes, I'm hardcore) Facebook has communities. I really needed to share this one.. because... well, it's just too damned true. History: I was raised in both states of Pennsylvania. 15 years Eastern PA/ 15 years Western PA. I was NOT born in PA. I was raised by New Yorkers. So this rings very true on so many levels: Community name: Dear Pennsylvania: Get the F*** Out of the Left Lane. Love, New JerseyCommunity Description: It's common knowledge that Pennsylvania produces the highest percentage of Left Lane Dicks out of all the states in the Union.
You know these people: there is absolutely no one in any of the lanes to their right, yet they insist on maintaining 55 mph in the left lane. As you nearly rear-end them at 85, you discover they are from Pennsylvania, throwing you further into a rage.
It's not uncommon for we New Jersey drivers to tailgate these people for miles on end, despite the fact that it would be easier to simply move over and go around their slow asses. However, we're from Jersey, and as always, we have a point to prove. We tailgate them, honk our horn, flash our high beams, and flip them off when we finally decide to go around.
So, Pennsylvania - Get the F*** out of the Left Lane.Note: This is more about Eastern Pennsylvanians than Western (by experience) Tags: culture, facebook, humour

A quick story explaining yet another reason why I am so happily in love with ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) shimmeringjemmy... For those few that don't know H has hearing aids. Over the years I've developed an international Andrei sign language system. It is not really grounded in any form of formal sign language beyond maybe years of pantomime. I've gotten very good at conveying concepts and topics. For example this morning I successfully conveyed: "You know, I realize the baby is still asleep, but as soon as you turn on the shower, he's going to wake up. Don't worry, I'll watch him." None of this was voiced, only Andrei-signed. And I can assure you, she understood. Granted, my signing has gotten complex enough that I often go into non-sensical but realistic looking signs. Today, I went into a sign after the above concept. H looked at me, nodded, swung her hips around and did a dance move that could only be described as a sideways froog. I gave her a thumbs up. She'd countered my non-sensical mime with some of her own... And we'd agreed on our non-communication. That was awesome. She hugged me and went off to the shower. She is so muchly with the awesome :) Tags: communication, humour, love

I'm not going to go into a complete review of The Aristocrats which I finally saw on Netflix today while on baby watch. Suffice it to say... It was amazing. I loved it. And I don't recommend it to anyone unless you can transcend vulgarity to see the meta-humour. I would like to point out 2 things from the documentary. One is an fantastically performed version of the joke as a series of card tricks. But the most important thing is a quote from Saint George Carlin. Because it hit me on a philosophical level at the core of who I am. It's an interesting quotation because I know it is fundamentally how I feel about the world and how I live my life. It seems to run utterly counter to the philosophy of Thelema that is also very much a piece of who I am. I see how the two paths run together in my universe. And it also makes it clearer to me when I've really pissed people off in my world. I like this because it puts together an idea in a very simple and succinct way while not losing any of the impact of it's viciously subversive nature. I do like finding out where the line is drawn, deliberately crossing it, bringing some of them with me across the line, and having them be happy that I did. - George Carlin Possibly, I'll go further about "The Aristocrats" later.

Don't worry. There will be many, many (trying not to do a Police Academy impression) posts concerning Aiden. I'm basically spending more time online. This should scare those of you who know me. But, since I have to basically spend lots of time sitting near and watching the baby, having the computer on my lap makes for a good way to pass the time. This may even evolve into me getting more work done sooner. So, checking the email... This was sent to me by a co-worker from my short lived days as a Microsoft contractor. It is unbelievably well done.
