Relativity

Cidu Bill on Mar 16th 2010

Last night, the cashier at Fuddrucker’s took it upon herself to give me — several years prematurely — a senior citizen discount. I realized it made sense in a way: she seemed to be about 12 years old, and I guess the younger you are, the more likely you are to overestimate the age of somebody who’s a few decades older.

But later on it occurred to me… isn’t it equally true that the older you get, the more likely you are to think that the Fuddrucker’s cashier looks like a 12-year-old?

So you’re allowed to grab them on the comics page now as long as you call them oompa loompas??

DST Question

Cidu Bill on Mar 15th 2010

I was just wondering… If you have OnStar or Sirius Radio in your car, does your dashboard clock change by itself when DST begins (the same way the time in your cell phone and DVR do)?

I don’t think that word means what Cylene’s father thinks it means

Has anybody ever called somebody’s cooking derivative? What would that even mean? Is Cylene’s mother expected to create a never-before-seen dinner every night?

WordPress and Daylight Saving Time

Cidu Bill on Mar 15th 2010

For some reason, WordPress never figures out that Daylight Saving Time has begun until a few weeks after the fact, meaning each day’s new post will show up an hour late (unless I remember to manually change each one after 12:02am).

Moderation Reminders

Cidu Bill on Mar 14th 2010

If your comment contains the word “suck” in any context, it automatically gets held for moderation. No big deal, I’ll usually spot it within an hour or so and push it through, but you should know. As a rule, if your comment is held for moderation, there’s nothing gained by e-mailing me to let me know: I get a message from WordPress when a comment is being held, and I’ll probably get that message before I get your e-mail.

And resending the same message several times only illustrates Albert Einstein’s definition of insanity.

Serious Question

Cidu Bill on Mar 12th 2010

Do people really not know the difference between “their,” “there” and “they’re,” or is using the words interchangably simply some sort of Internet meme?

Jacket

Cidu Bill on Mar 12th 2010

jacket.png

Laurie B. Wylie: Yeah, I get that Arlo’s slogging along in the first frame then is passed by the running girl in the second frame. I get that the last frame is supposedly irony (or something similar) as the girl’s somehow fallen behind him and passes Arlo’s family SUV in her sports car (maybe she didn’t park in the same lot, or maybe she nearly lapped him after the second frame, but whatever). But I don’t get the third frame – what the deal is with the jacket – since neither one of them appears to be wearing it in the final frame. Maybe it’s just to indicate that he’s finished his jog and is returning to the jacket he left on a bench, but who leaves their coat laying around in a public park?
