3/26    Zombie Time on the Iraq War Fifth Anniversary Protest
        http://www.zombietime.com/iraq_war_fifth_anniversary_protest
        I like the 'Irreconcilable Indifference' page.
        \_ I'm a self-described liberal, but even I found the 5th Anniv.
           protest pretty laughable. For zombietime, this is just shooting
           fish in a barrel. Aim higher.
           \_ I think shooting in a barrel is ZT's point.  He doesn't have to
              aim very high.

3/26    According to Brian Behlendorf, Moby once had a soda account.  We need
        to restore this asap.
        \_ Account name?
           \_ Account name moby.  Long since deleted, it appears.  It get
              a few mentions on ne-raves circa 1992, and Brian swears that it's
              true.
        \_ Moby dick?  Who is moby?
           \_ Who's Moby?  Everything is (clearly) Wrong.

        \_ Why is this of any interest whatever?

3/26    Earth friendly gold and conflict free diamond, along with your
        conflict free certificate here now!
        http://www.brilliantearth.com
        \_ I'd rather reward the innovaters who are making artificial
           diamonds than reward the existing diamond mining industry.
           \_ I hear ya bro but try to explain this to your mother/father
              in law, they'll think you're a worthless POS.
                \_ Heh, I don't think I have the same problem.
                   Prospective bride's mom is a religious fanatic cult
                   member and has no contact anymore with my GF.  Her
                   Dad's an engineer and probably would like the idea--
                   and if not, well, he doesn't have a big role in
                   her life anyway.  I'm more worried about what she
                   thinks, but she's pretty practical too and knows
                   how I feel about the diamond industry.
              \_ Huh, I never got my wife a diamond, and our gold rings were
                 second hand. -!pp
        \_ How about an earth friendly and conflict 7 diamond whore?

3/27    Is there a better word then "uncalled-for" in the following situation:
        - X proactively offers help to Y, and the help should be useful.
        - Y doesn't appreciate X's help.
        - Therefore we say X's help is "uncalled-for".
        Thx.
        \_ 'uncalled-for' is typically for an overreaction.
           "Hey, disagreeing with me is okay, but yelling was uncalled-for."
           \_ I see.  -- OP
        \- call-without-continue
        \_ unwanted
        \_ unsolicited
        \_ unappreciated (duh?)
           unlooked-for
        \_ Are you X or Y?
           \_ I'm X.  -- OP

        Home paternity tests to be available. Expect it to be a big
        hit in Tenessee and Texas.
        \_ Why TN and TX?
           \_ Inbreeding, I assume.
           \_ Who's your daddy? Daddy!
