I went on a semi-date with a girl today who planned on naming her son Ender, it turned out, before she realized that the movie might be coming out and that would be awkward. But she almost did! So that was neat.

I finished my master's degree! My life is once again my own!

Congrats!

Good show!

Huh, yet another I meant to reply to sooner. Congratulations, Kim; that's awesome and I bet it feels great. :)

If you don't read the game thread, and you don't read the games subforum: I'm gauging interest for a game of PWEB Mafia here!

I helped my MIL set up a kill room ala Dexter for her MIL when she visits for Christmas. Plastic Sheeting and all

You may want to delete this post. It could be used as evidence when her MIL disappears.

Every time when the semester ends, I am filled with an irrational sense of paranoia that I forgot a final or some big assignment for one of my classes. I just know I'm going to be halfway through the plane flight home, remember a final, and fail my classes. And just because it hasn't happened any other semester and I've been through all my classes in my head multiple times to make sure, doesn't mean it can't happen this time.

Magic Cards with Googly Eyes

I'm not sure if that is funnier for those that are actually familiar with MtG, but I enjoyed it pretty well myself, regardless :D

With all the hundreds of poems that I have memorized and can recite at the drop of a hat, how on earth can it be that CASEY AT THE BAT is not one of them?

I must remedy that immediately.

I lost my list of pwebbers addresses. PM me with yours (yes, I'm talking to all of you), if you don't mind pweb mail?

Marry this woman. And help her make an Ender.

I'm not a fan of Bic Macs but the idea of a Bic Mac Snack Wrap grosses me out. Something about tortilla with ground beef that sounds disgusting, even if I do eat beef (carne asada) with them, though the tortilla is corn for that, not flour.

I really dislike corn tortillas. Tortilla chips have to be corn though.

I know you mean Big Mac but I keep picturing a Bic Mac as some kind of lighter/hamburger combo.

Oh! haha, I didn't even notice I did that and twice! I'll leave it as is.

I was going to make some sort of heartburn joke, but that's too punny even for me.

It took me several attempts to figure out what Nomi was talking about.

I've been struggling for years with how to identify my religious beliefs. Up until a few weeks ago, I was trying to find a place for myself on the terribly broken model of Theists on one side, Atheists on the other and Agnostics in the middle.

It finally clicked that it makes a lot more sense to graph Atheism-Theism on one axis and Agnosticism-Gnosticism on another axis. This makes life so much simpler. I just feel like an idiot for not realizing my mistake sooner.

I still don't understand why it's called "pulled pork." Where's the pulling come in?

They smoke a pork shoulder or other hunk of meat and then it's cut up or pulled apart. When prepared on a smaller scale the hand pulled pork is more common. Larger scale servings usually cut it up with knives.

Early on in my Ender's Ansible news I posted about a family that gave their child the middle name Ender, after Ender's Game of course. It's one of the most popular posts and since then I've gotten plenty of emails from different people telling me they want to or already have named their kid Ender. I think this is neat lol

Gotcha. Not that I'm ever going to eat pulled pork.

Pulled pork is on my short list of favorite foods ever, not far behind bacon. You are missing out.

So be it. It's against my religion to eat pork.

My cousin named his second son Ender. I'm a little sad he wasn't a third, but it works well enough I suppose.

I named my third leopard gecko Ender.

2012 is going to be a pretty awesome year for geeks!

Because sometimes your Pweb friends don't post things to Pweb and they need to be shared: http://imgur.com/a/9rngP" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I think they're pretty damn cool. (ETA: Not to imply these were done by a Pwebber...just that one shared the link with me and I thought everyone should see them.)

Awesome!

Hey PWEB, I'm back from Borneo!
