    I think I could change your mind about that.

    You haven’t worn a tie until you’ve worn it cool 90s secondary school stylee.

    I don't know what you mean by that, but I occasionally wear one with jeans and a hoodie just because it confuses people. Too laid back for the pantsuit crowd and too dressed up for the pyjama pants crowd. But then everything's too dressed up for those wastrels.

    You mean with the really big knot and the tiny tail? Yeah, I always hated that. I always wore mine the normal way and everyone took the mickey.

    Yep, that's what meant. With the other end trailing out of their untucked shirts like the tail of a kite.

    If I'm ordering food during the lunch special time, why in the hell do I have to be asked if I want the lunch special? What, you think I want to pay full price for the same item on said menu?

    I saw the third tie knot and it was like staring into the eternal void.

    I have some food that needs chucking but I haven't emptied the food bin in far too long and I'm afraid that if I open it some sort of sci-fi creature will crawl out.

    Bought a bunch of hobby parts from an online shop last night. One particular part that I needed, which has apparently been discontinued, was listed as "sold out," so I headed to ebay, found it, and ordered it.

    From the same seller as runs the store that had it as sold out.

    Bizarre.

    I wish my body could decide if it was more tired than hungry or more hungry than tired. I can't sleep with my stomach rumbling but now I can barely sit up. Cannot wait to go to the doctor's.

    In addition to the alternate universe where, based on the weather report, I decided not to chance it but to take the bus, there six where it didn't rain today. Prolly took the bus in at least one of those as well, but for right now I'm stuck in the one where I gotta peddle my ass home in a torrential downpour.

    Yay me.

    I had one of those holy-shit-I’m-old experiences today. I stopped for gas on my way home from work. A kid walks up an asked me to buy him beer, he even said he lost his ID.

    That's nothing. Show him a floppy disk and if he looks at you like you just showed him a 3,000-year-old scroll, come back to me. :p

    Didn't know that the Library of Alexandria was filled with ancient floppy disks. :p

    Well, if it was, then the burning of such was probably doing them a favor. It's just a shame the library burned before they were able to transfer all that floppy data to ancient laserdisc.

    The funny thing is that if you think about it, scrolls are more likely to be recognized than recently outdated tech. Even the generation that sprouted from the iWomb has had to use pen or pencil and paper at some point, but a floppy disk has no apparent connection to the modern world. A CD will be mistaken for a DVD, an MD will be broken whilst trying to open its "case," I don't know what happens when you plug a thumb drive directly into a USB power adapter but.... But a floppy? An honest to god floppy, not those hard "floppies" of the 90s, that's going to get a total WTF reaction.

    My dad did a masters in physics with a slide rule.
