I am a nerd after all. It's bad when you know some (not all) of the HTTP error codes without having to look them up.

. I am so trying to talk my boys into being the Beatles for Halloween. It's not going well. I've even told them that if they do it, I'll take them to the costume parade at the mall where I guarantee them the win. They are still resistant. Two of them look enough like their Beatle father that it would just wow the crowd, I know it would. Sigh. A girl can dream.
But can they sing and play guitars? If not, they could go as The Monkees!

People say we Monkee around, we're too busy singing to put anybody down.

Now 3 to go. I've got to figure out what to say, where to say it. I've also got to fight my natural instincts to post a response to something, otherwise I'll skip right past it. I think I know where I'll post, I know for sure it won't be in the milestones thread.

Posting an answer is ALWAYS a temptation to missing a milestone. I agree.
My prediction: "ymm, beer" ;)

My thoughts exactly on your recent posts. Well done, good sir.
I've hit upon a similar maxim for myself in recent days: "You know you're a nerd when you derive a small thrill from finding the aisle in the stacks where your book is already open, thus absolving you of the trouble of opening however many of the aisles of automatic shelving units."

Bus 404 used to stop in front of my office in Encinitas. I made a crack along the lines of "Awww damn, that poor bus driver will never find the next stop." I made myself chuckle until I had to explain it to one of the non-nerds.
