From Ann’s dual-USB iBook, January 2008:

Here’s what I really want: a Christmas album from Buddy and Julie Miller.

You said it.

Kriss: “So Jon, have you been to one of those iStores?” (Jon: “You mean the Apple Store, Kriss?” “Yes!”)

Linda: “I don’t know, I believe it was something about the cake going down your hole.”

Alisa: “You can’t have not a belly button.”

Shannon/Jon/derek: “Do I smell dope?”

Ann: “Sometimes a girl gets a sore butt.”

Shannon (of the sun): “We are talking about a heated object.”

Lucy: “Google.”

Ann: “It’s garlic Jesus.” Jake: “Does Jesus come in other flavors than garlic?”

Kriss: “I like having church on the couch.”

Alisa (?): “We’ve got to get our inaccuracies straight.”

Unknown: “That was a statement of exaggeration.”

I want a car audio system with a USB port that will play music that’s stored on a connected flash drive (in a specified folder or whatever), giving me options to play the music in different ways (by album, artist, randomly, etc). Ideally it would also have a small display to show embedded album art.

I want to be able to authorize a user or users to view an online map showing the current (or last known) location of my cell phone.

Humbling (or disturbing?) fact of the day: 60.1% of Americans voted against Abe Lincoln.

Jon: “Of course, some of us poop in our pants.”

Kriss: “There’s too many legs here!”

Eli: “I went over here so people wouldn’t smell it!”

Ann: “Gaborgachev” and “Assarafat”

derek: “He’s got a thing for crazy, apparently.”

Alisa: “Get busy making Chex Mix, or the Chex Mix will get busy making you.”

Wanted: A compelling example illustrating this distinction.
