When I am dead, I hope it is said;

...Not to mention the time it took off the end of it...

Welcome to Corporate America, where working hard is like wetting your pants in a dark suit--you get a brief (ha!) warm feeling, but nobody else notices.

From:

You are *such* a ray of fucking sunshine... :D

From:

I keep telling you, I get paid an embarrassing amount of money to be professionally negative.

You get it for *free*. What the *fuck* are you complaining about? :)

From:

Oh yay, I thought that kind of shit ended after grad school.
Did you at least get a nifty picture of your brain?

From:

Because I was thinking, if I had an MRI of my brain, I'd get it scanned, then put the picture on a t-shirt and say 'THIS IS THE PROBLEM HERE FOLKS'. And it would excellent. But you don't have to do that.

From:

I... *LIKE* that.

From:

Isn't that Mike Tyson's reasoning when he beats the shit out of someone in a bar?

Delivered an octave *higher*, mind you, but...

;)

From:

Come on, dude, you should know better by now. You are not a unique snowflake. ;p

From:

Must...Resist...Straight...Line...

From:

Actually, I am.

But I am not my fucking khakis.

From:

See, fuck the negative people, there is ALWAYS something interesting to be had! So there you poopy heads!

nAHHH NAH NAH NAAAAH NAAAAH.

(sorry, I think I drank some acrylamide earlier)

From:

What's acylamide?

And you may appreciate this: http://granades.com/2007/05/02/loltrek/

From:

You wear them often enough. :p

From:

I use it as a component to make SDS-PAGE to run proteins through so I can beat them until I am satisfied!

And thanks for the share, that is really funny XD (I like the Settlers reference too. Get your nerd on kiddies!)

From:

Ha! I'm a Levi's 501 buttonfly man.

Preferably with a raunchy tshirt, and a flannel buttondown over the top.

With hiking boots.

From:

Thank ghod you only have one flannel... and it's not plaid. :D

From:

Back in college my then-lady and I referred to my button-fly jeans as my 'easy-access' jeans. ;)

From:

Well, now I knew as much as I did before...I guess that's what I get for not being a scientist. :p

From:

TMI, dude.

(But me, too--in fact, "easy access" was/is a criterion for certain articles of clothing on both sides.)

(*MY* jeans and *MY* lady, but you knew that.)

From:

I'm sorry! I erred on the side of caution because I assumed you were a big nerd too :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylamide

So you can separate proteins based on their size if you run them through a matrix, in my case acrylamide. After it polymerizes (assembles) it forms this gel like goo. It is also a neurotoxin, so you can bake it into cakes and kill people and shit.

(SDS-PAGE: Sodium Diethyl Sulfate Polyacrylimide Gel)

From:

I still say front-clasp bras are best for that, but I am up against an entrenched opposition party on this point.

From:

That reminds me, I need more flannel. :D

From:

I find that having to reach around behind, slow down, and actually *think* about what I am doing results in a higher likelihood that the garment will be usable a second time.

From:

I merely believe that they are unreliable in the wild beyond a certain volume.

They are, however, a perfectly acceptable option in other arenas. ;)

From:

Haha, nerd yes, scientist no. I have an art degree, I work in video games. :D

Yay for killing people with SCIENCE!

From:

That's a feature, not a bug. :D

From:

Isn't it more like killing people with math?

XD

From:

Things can disappear from the laundromat.

I would like to maintain my loss-less status.

That is all I have to say on the matter.

From:

*cough*

*cough*

*ahem*

That's exactly how he counters. :D

From:

He is a doctor! :D
