Is this a real picture of Arnold in his bodybuilding days? Man, he was much bigger back then than during his movie career.

Wikipedia tells me ICQ got sold earlier this year.

I mean the networks. The protocols merged a while back, and then they finally merged the servers, so that you can send ICQ IMs to AIM accounts and vice versa.

I hate it when a single eyebrow hair stands straight up.

My wife hates it when my eyebrows do that, too.

Why do these Kentucky Derby promos all say “Yum!”? Is it foreshadowing the fate of the losers?

If I spend two minutes every day turning off lights my wife leaves on, that’s an hour every month, twelve hours a year, probably close to two solid months of the time I have left on the planet.

Do not go quietly into the night, rage, rage, against the turning off the light.

Would it be TMI for me to post a rant about my run-in with Florida’s DCF? Because I could really use some encouragement, even from the interwebs.

What the hell is wrong with this country (or state) that DCF can coerce a wife into divorcing her husband, breaking up a family that quite obviously to everyone but DCF wants to stay together?

Yum! is the company that owns Taco Bell, KFC, etc. and is based in Louisville. It’s likely just a sponsorship logo. Sorry to give the most boring answer possible.

Oh! I had no idea that PepsiCo had spun 'em off.

The developers that work for the client we support are incapable of making an application with drop-down menus that still function when their application is maximized. I am actually glad the contract is ending early.

You live in Florida, that’s what’s wrong with your state!

It is happening to me personally, which is why I ask a few posts up if it would TMI/gauche to vent.

I’ve heard many horror stories from many states. Massachusetts in particular.

Can’t leave us hanging now. Spill it.

The assholes are out in force. I should have realized that if I have to ask if something is sensitive, QT3 is the wrong place for it.
