Weird dream
Me and Jello Biafra decided to start up a series of free internet classes on how to publish weblogs and create great webpages.
While we were coming up with the class list and preparing lecture notes and things like that, Peggy came up to me, smiled, and made an incredibly complicated gesture+facial expression which meant “My car is broken”. “What do you mean ‘broken?’” I asked. *gesture + facial expression meaning “I don’t know, it’s broken.”* “Okay…”
So I went and looked at it and this metal bracket was wedged against one of the tires so that if you went forward it was okay, but if you went backwards it would dig into the tire and make a funny noise. “There’s your problem.” I said. “Hmm. Should be able to bend that off the tire,” I thought and started looking around for tools. Peggy brightened up and made a gesture+facial expression meaning “Oh, so that’s all it is?” Then she flipped the car on end, caught an edge of the metal bracket on the ground, and then flipped the car upside down, using the weight of the car falling to bend the metal piece. Then she flipped the car right side up, winked at me, and made a gesture+facial expression meaning “Get in, let’s go!”
We went to the bar (some random bar I’d never seen before) and met up with some other guys. The only person I remember though was Doug Moore. We bought these ENORMOUS drinks. I had a few sips of mine, and decided I was done. The rest of the guys persuaded me to take the rest of my drink home with me, so I got a bunch of gallon jugs and kept filling jug after jug after jug.
So I get back home and Jello and I have our free web university classes and they go really well, and then I woke up.

It wasnt really a dream he just wrote that part to keep people from looking at him funny. I keep trying to tell him that they look at him funny anyway… but what can you do?

What do I know about publishing a weblog? Enough to realize that nobody gives a flying farg so I can post whatever I want.

To paraphrase what I said on our message board: “If you want to post crap, just do it under your username. Then people associate the crap with you, not us.” :D
[I’m only picking at you, John. ;)]

Hey, if you come into this thing expecting literature or even good writing, then you need to revise your expectations down a few notches.

What man in his right mind expects good writing from a Tech grad? ;)

Boy John-these comments degenerate pretty fast. What was the subject again? Writing? Weblogs? …
