Are you English? Are you one of my students? I hope not because that would be awkward. "Oh, sorry, Admin, I accidentally yelled at one of the undergrads about stapling." "You monster! You'll never teach in this town again!"

When I realised I was actually going to have students one day, I started locking down things associated with this screen name which could identify me. A truly determined student could still probably find me out, but it'd be harder, now.

How DO you Mario and Space Invaders on your calculator? All the calculators I know have an (about) 1 inch screen and no color graphics, which makes it pretty difficult for me to imagine Space Invaders there. Or am I completely off and you're talking about some other kind of calculators I don't know?
Back on topic, I hate it when during basketball, a finger (on any hand, basically) gets hit hard, and you don't see any damage (you don't bleed or anything) but the finger's all big and hurtful. Do you guys know what I'm talking about?
If it's the index finger (by index finger, I mean the last finger from your thumb; do I get it right?), it's ok; but if it's the thumb, then it makes playing harder and more hurtful.

this is my calculator, and there are MUCH nicer ones on the market (89 titanium), but it can play music, do grayscale with some hackery, and play games better than the old school gameboys. I, and a couple other people, have spent time building the necessary hardware to get it on the internet, though it can already do telnet over an oldschool serial modem.How DO you Mario and Space Invaders on your calculator?

Now I feel bad for only using my 89T for boring ol' math. My 83 got me through a lot of boredom in middle school, though. I think TI BASIC (or whatever you call it; it's on a TI, it kinda looks like BASIC) was the second language I learned.there are MUCH nicer ones on the market (89 titanium)

The standard movie ringtone.
Maybe it's not standard anymore, I haven't heard it in a while but I swear, they use the same obnoxious ringtone in the movies I've seen. I heard it today in The Family Man (go ABC Family for playing it today!) and it's the same one used in Love, Actually when Sarah's brother calls her over and over again. I've heard it in other movies, too, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.

I don't think I watch anything with laugh tracks anymore; I'm not big on TV and movies certainly don't have them.How about the standard comedy show laughter?
For the life of me, I can't hum, whistle or sing that but that's it.Dodaloodo dodaloodo dodaloodoodoo

For the second time today, I sit in my office waiting for someone who can not show up on time. I guess their time is worth more than mine, nice of them to make the choice for me. Lucky I've got PWEB

I think I only find these annoying if a) they're a lyrical song. I don't mind just instruments, probably because they're less disagreeable, and b) they are preceded by "Please enjoy the music while your party is reached. And considering that all ringbacks begin with that saying, they all are annoying.Ringback tones. Thank you very much, I'd rather just listen to the normal sound indicating the phone is ringing.
But I think we can all agree those other things are quite horrible and hate-able.

I have never experienced one of those. I guess no one I call feels like wasting money on them. Yay.Ringback tones. Thank you very much, I'd rather just listen to the normal sound indicating the phone is ringing.

I hate having to leave out details from a paper because I don't have the time to track down the exact location of a citation and I'm afraid of getting nailed for plagiarising. It's not like the writer of the Ancrene Wisse or Julian of Norwich are going to press copyright violation for not stating exactly where in their works they said something.

I didn't know something like that existed. I can't imagine how someone would think that's a good idea.

Amen.Ringback tones. Thank you very much, I'd rather just listen to the normal sound indicating the phone is ringing.
When my phone got stolen, whoever took it put in a ringback tone of some kind of ridiculous rap song. It took me forever to get it changed back to a normal sound. (It's tied to the account, not the phone. So, they did it some time in the 5 hours before I cancelled the sim card.)

We're wanting to move. We live in a 1 Bedroom apartment right now and it's getting too small for the 3 of us. Ginny needs her own room.Jayelle, do you have to move or are you wanting to move?
Unfortunately, our rent is super cheap here, all the 2 bedrooms are 200-300 more and not as nice as our current place.
Fortunately, if we really can't find a place, there's nothing stopping us from staying here a while longer.
