<Who first said, "Get a life." Hmm? > Probably the first person who said "NOT!!!" Kind of think it might be a Bart Simpson thing... Kind of scary thought, eh? The world acquiring clichéd phrases from Bart Simpson...hmmm Be afraid... be very afraid.... (Now who said that??..was it Freddy Kruger, or Jason from Friday the 13th??.. Can't remember...or maybe I never actually knew).

<<<Who first said, "Get a life." >>> I am SO far behind on DAR, and just decided to start in again at around Christmas. And not to answer anything. But I thought I'd make an exception to this rule I made five minutes ago. To say a couple, three things. Before I go watch a movie. I think "get a life" used about oneself, as in "I simply must get a life" is funny; but ever since I first heard it said, hostilely (that looks funny), to someone else, I've thought it was particularly horrid. Second, I was trying to save a post in a folder I have opened on my desktop (it was yours, actually), and instead of doing my usual thing when I watn to save anything, which is to paste it into notepad and then save it, I decided to click, in my Navigator, File...Save As... and send the whole page to the desktop file. So I do this. And then go look in the file to see whether it worked. As I always do. I trust no machine. Anyway, there it was with a big blue W on it (Word 2000 has those) and I opened it. And the strangest thing happened. It took ages to open. And when it opened, it was perfect, it looked exactly like the SI page-- but at the top was typed, as though by SOMEONE, but BY WHOM??? -- "You don't have javascript, your SI experience won't be so grand." WHO WROTE THAT? How do they know I don't have javascript? How do they know that was "SI"? I opened another one with a big blue W and it didn't say that. Why did it commiserate about my not having javascript on one post but not another? Who wrote that? Must I reconsider my atheism?! A true mystery, to me. It's like a joke. How does one GET javascript if one doesn't have it? And last I wanted to say Gaugie, I will be thinking of you tomorrow, all day. P.S. I just edited, to correct, what the mystery-writing said. Because I just saved another post the same way. And it said "won't be so grand." I MEAN IT! Whose comment is that?! "Grand"? It is MOST peculiar....
