Sure, but I meant that we shouldn't declare them to be a lost cause without really trying.

Whoever is responsible for deciding that autocorrect should be turned on by default in any given device/OS, should be sentenced to one year of punishment wherein they MUST say everything by means of that device/OS with autocorrect turned on and not allowed to ever reject or amend autocorrect's changes. And if they ever start turning on grammar-autocorrect by default, make it five years.

The reception and lunch following my mother's funeral was in the church fellowship hall. Several dishes were served and no one was openly offended by the offered fare. But one thing troubles me. It has troubled me since early childhood. There were deviled eggs on the buffet line. No matter the event. if food is being served someone at that church almost always brings deviled eggs. Don't get me wrong. I like deviled eggs. They were actually one of the first dishes I learned how to prepare on my own as a child. But it still feels wrong to have deviled eggs in church.

Hey, folks. It's been a while. I'm going to start re-posting my old slays a few at a time, if that's alright:

First, thank you for remembering the Reindeer. Santa Claus is a vital strategic resource and Canadian Caribou just don't do the job quite as well. And second, Scandinavia is the source of the best bikini calendars on the planet. If there is another official calendar revision, it will probably become Gregersian instead of Gregorian.

When correctly viewed, everything is lewd. I could tell you things about Peter Pan. And the Wizard of Oz? There's a dirty old man.

Perversion is in the eye of the beholder.

According to the description, lucky Tedd, lucky

It might be little stretch calling what Fox wears French maid outfit. However, it's likely closest to it from what Nanase has. The lust object part, meanwhile, is almost confirmed in the comment by how unconvincingly Dan denies it. Although Nanase might not actually do it for that reason ... yet. I think she's preparing/rehearsing something for Ellen. And yes, this strip was reason why I suggested Nanase as target for blame this time.

True, there is this risk as well. We can't really compare if our speed of technological progress is better or worse than average. We can meet aliens which would be so surprised by our technology they wouldn't close their mouths until after WE conquer THEIR home planet ... or aliens who will do mistakes hurrying here out of fear we will match their technology level before they get here. ... or, we may get aliens who are able to predict EXACTLY how fast we invent things. The first transmission we catch on the first prototype of FTL radio will start "-mly welcome the civilization of planet Earth to our communication network." ... ok, they did get it few seconds wrong. This reminds me the novel where aliens arrived on planet just days before it's sun explosion hoping they can save someone and was surprised noone is home. They later found that despite their primitive technology, natives build fleet of slow generation spaceships and evacuated on them. The alien commander was able to find the direction they flied, easily caught up and started first contact, despite his second of command joking that they should be careful with this determined species as their galactic republic outnumber them only like twenty billions to one. Just twenty years later, that note was no longer funny. Let me guess. One of the non native civilizations is a group called "Men" who were apparently from a planet the Earthlings called "Mars". And the other civilization is a group called "Women" from a place called "Venus". I was thinking actual three different spaceflight capable civilizations meeting on Earth, but your idea isn't bad either. Except the aliens would need to be very stupid or very sloppy in Venus observation to believe anyone looking remotely human lives there.

Well I just got back from my mother's funeral. The service went well. Both my mother's brothers made it there. Lots of people reminiscing. More than a few embarrassing stories involving me. Although this was a sad event, I am not particularly sad. This was a good day and we can get on with our lives... right after the burial tomorrow morning in 40O F Rain.

Other Scout: "I think we are too late, sir. There is already a heavy Klingon presence here and they seem quite congenial with the natives."

People who should know better and refuse to change would be represented by Rich, while those who are ignorant and confused but willing to learn would be better represented by Larry. There are a lot of both kinds in the world, but we shouldn't let the Riches' douchebaggery prevent us from trying to reach out to the Larrys.
