This Had Better Work
1 Dec, 2005
There was little doubt that something would be done to shake up the Bruins if they couldn't pull themselves out of the nose dive they've been in for most of the season.
I didn't think they would get rid of Joe Thornton, though. As captain, Thornton was always billed as the team superstar, the superduper excellent player, the number one guy. I only got back to following the Bruins three years ago so I wasn't around for his early days with the team, but I have to admit that I've never thought Joe Thornton was living up to the hype.
Uniquely 70's

Of all the pop/rock music that ingrained itself in my impressionable young mind during the mid to late 1970's, I have to say that Supertramp wins the prize for being able to transport me instantaneously back to the era, as foggily as I remember it.
Steely Dan is a close second.

Since I started learning Scruggs-style banjo, I haven't actually spent any time learning any tunes as played by Earl Scruggs himself.

No matter how many times I make pastry cream, I am always amazed and delighted when the tempered custard/corn starch mixture solidifies. It happens instantly – like something out of a chemistry kit experiment, except you wind up with dessert.

Psychoanalyze-Pinhead

(An oldie but goodie. Open up Emacs and execute the command 'psychoanalyze-pinhead'. This fine command pits a Lisp implementation of an ELIZA style "psychoanalyst" program against the "Yow" command, which quotes Zippy the Pinhead at random, ad infinitum.)
I am the psychotherapist. Please, describe your problems. Each time
you are finished talking, type RET twice.
