:Vern goes back to cleaning the grill while Dora distributes more orders:

*sssssnort* PTEWWWW!!!!! Ugh. Gross.

Some of the formulae would have to reflect the opposite of the book's owner's personality, since Elliot had to do the opposite of how he felt (i.e., he had to start liking girly spells) in order to get what he wanted (i.e., non-girly spells). That is, assuming that the new spell doesn't turn him into a horse or something similar.

(I'm (glad (to (hear (that)))))

Fresh coffee made with a re-usable plastic Keurig coffee insert.

Vern (shouting to all in restaurant): "FRESH COFFEE'S READY."

How does a hole in the ceiling explode?

Bissinger's 38% Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Praline Meh.

Dallas hanging on to beat Minnesota and move on to the second round of the NHL playoffs.

More likely, it'll be a bunch of teenagers being screamed at by Edward.

A sliver of the marshmallow fondant Mrs.Prof made to put on a "cake topper" for a Pet Adoption Center charity event tonight.

Level four unlocked.

It's not tied to the hard drive, but to the machine. It stores info about your motherboard at the least. I know this from swapping the motherboard in a machine while keeping the hard drive unchanged—Win7Pro 64-bit complained and had to be reauthorized. Now, if I simply clone the hard drive onto another faster/larger one, Windows will be none the wiser. I've done it twice before, using Clonezilla to go from a 250GB HD to a 500GB HD (and then to a 500GB SSD) on my current laptop, and Win7Home 64-bit never complained. I'm betting that Windows 10 would respond the same way. I'd also like to have a clean Win10 install (crapware notwithstanding) vs. a copy of Win7Pro 64-bit upgraded to Win10—I just don't trust the upgrade process. Note that I *am* going to give the upgrade process a try on a less-than-current computer that recently had its SSD boot drive die. I'll reinstall Win7 Pro on it and then upgrade it to Win10. If that goes smoothly, then I might consider dropping Win10 pre-installed as a must-have.

:The extra power moves the amplifier at a right angle to the speed of light, creating a c-vector effect that causes the amplifier to vanish.:

An Edelbrock Big-Block Chevy crate engine

BTW: my voice is in that game. I'm the Genie. I also sampled a real pinball table for the sound effects.

Balsa wood houses.

Much obliged! I'll consider them when the time to buy comes. Thank you!

:Vern cooks up a pecan waffle with an order of hash browns "all the way" and serves it to the rowing team member who shared the omelet:

Better for himself.

I'm now in the market for a new laptop. I've got a $1,000 budget. This is approximately what I'm looking for: Full keyboard with a number pad on the right (not a "shift for numbers" kind—this is an absolute necessity). Core i5 or AMD equivalent minimum, Core i7 if possible. Between 8GB and 32GB of RAM, 16 GB as the sweet spot, DDR4 if possible. A hard drive that can be upgraded to the SSD of my choosing. Windows 10 Professional (Win10 Home as a last choice). Screen size 15.6" or larger (I'm willing to save bucks on graphics specs, but not on laptop size). Anyone here who has done any shopping lately and wouldn't mind sharing their results? 'Twould be most appreciated. Thanks!

The pollen, it burns! Okay, it doesn't burn, but it makes my body misfire, and I am misfiring like Hades today. I've got four levels of antihistamine drugs to go through when things get bad: Zyxal, Atarax, Benadryl, and Promethazine. I'm at level two on a normal day. This is not a normal day. I've had to go to level three, and am seriously considering level four. At least the tic in my facial muscles has gone away. It's been replaced by throbbing sinus pain.

:ProfessorTomoe absorbs the wires into the strange, indescribable darkness that surrounds his head and spits the quarter out of his grinning mouth: ProfessorTomoe: "No need for amplification now, yes?"

:Vern walks over to the rowing team and examines the orange juice, finding a pair of very small pants floating in it: Vern: "Waiting to be zipped up."
