Re: Random things that remind you of PWEB or people here
We were at the Renaissance Festival today and as we were walking past the flower garland shop that I used to work at, I started to turn to Brian to tell him the exact same thing the he told me at that instant: ” That girl looks just like Alea!”
She was working at my old shop and out was crazy how much she looked like you. I would have hugged her, but she probably would have thought I was really weird. (I suppose she would be right.)
Erica, when you go, see if she's working! The shop is the garland shop up the hill to the right from the entrance.

Another bizarro me? I must have a pretty generic face; I am mostly okay with that. :)

Re: Random things that remind you of PWEB or people here
It's not very generic, I don't think. And with all the thousands of people Brian sees every day, this is the first you-look-alike he's seen, so I think he would agree with me.

Re: Random things that remind you of PWEB or people here
Cracked articles can't go onto a third page, can they? It probably wasn't so much laziness as a very mean editor.
I used to hate gravity because it would not let me fly. Now I realize it is gravity that lets me stand.

Re: Random things that remind you of PWEB or people here
In the infinite canvas of the internet, I'm pretty sure the only reason they even have a second page is to double their page views for ad revenue. If you look at some of the earliest articles, each numbered point used to have its own page.

Re: Random things that remind you of PWEB or people here
I've never even heard of that but now I feel like I have to see it since it has two very big things going for it (80s film + Chicago).
Which reminds me, I was planning on doing a movies that feature Chicago movie club (of one), to see if I recognize any places in them.
And I keep meaning to tell you, Adam, that I have found a bizarro twin of yours in my work village. He's always out front of the train station restaurant smoking but other than that, he reminds me an awful lot of you. He probably thinks it's weird when I start staring, looking for differences.

HA!
you snooze, you lose
well I have snozzed and lost
I'm pushing through
I'll disregard the cost
I hear the bells
so fascinating and
I'll slug it out
I'm sick of waiting
and I can
hear the bells are
ringing joyful and triumphant

I'll take.credit for that.
I should apologize instead of being amused by this, because I know how much it sucks. My misery loves your company, I guess.

The new Bourne movie has Chicago (briefly) and Edward Norton. Alea is apparently perpetually in my thoughts.

Making oatmeal reminds me if Alea and how I learned how very opinionated I am on the topic.

Re: Random things that remind you of PWEB or people here
Hey, yes, you! I'm pretty sure it was you and Syphon both who told me to try with brown sugar and a dash of milk. (For which I love you both dearly, by the way).
I'm sitting on the couch at zero's parents, minding my own business when his mom asks if I'd like oatmeal for breakfast and zero makes a point of telling me they don't have Honey Bunches of Oats; I just roll my eyes because I certainly don't expect everywhere or even most places to have my favorite easy breakfast ever. Then I tell his mom, yes, please, I'd very much like some oatmeal (in part because they eat weird rich people food -like smoked cheese. They had smoked cheese the night before at the restaurant on a fruit and cheese platter that cost what a normal entire meal for one would cost my family on a dinner outing and were asking me if the cheese was smoked and I'm like, I don't see any cigarettes so probably not- and I don't know what else I might get offered if I don't just take the oatmeal).
And then Mrs. zero's Mom asks, "With cinnamon and raisins?"
zero says, "Uh, no, with brown sugar."
"Brown sugar? In her oatmeal? She doesn't like raisins? Alea, you don't like raisins?"
"I like raisins just fine. Cinnamon, too. But I eat my oatmeal with brown sugar."
"Oh, well, that's a treat for us."
Brown sugared oatmeal is a treat for them and not a perfectly normal way of eating your oatmeal. What the hell kind of Twilight Zone family am I almost-sort of joining?

Re: Random things that remind you of PWEB or people here
Hee. Awesome.
These days, I'm doing granulated sugar, cinnamon, and fresh fruit, generally added before or with the oatmeal to the boiling water. Except today I added banana at the end. Surprisingly yummy. Like the bananas in banana pudding.
But brown sugar is classic and how I always ate it growing up. For a treat? How strange.
