BTW, it is Hanukkah. What is everyone getting me? 
I crave an art that passionately transcends the mundane instead of being a device for self-deception.–Griffin, from The Griffin and Sabine trilogy.
Keystream - As far as the electronics goes, I (we) got that from working tech support and having no other life. Lotsa pay, lotsa toys. As far as the redhead, I wish I knew… I’m just praying I don’t wake up any time soon.
Chief - Wait till I get the network set up… no use having 5 machines up and running if they can’t talk to each other. Only 2 roommates… one other techie (I need computer #5 so I’ll have more computers than him… we’re 2-2 now… its a penis thing), the other works warehouse and is reponsible for the entertainment center, sans my TV (Mines bigger… another penis thing).
As far as redheads go… I’ve only dated one other before, and OH MY GOD. I thought the jokes were just jokes. Never before have I dated someone that wanted sex more than I did. I don’t know about the satisfy part… I was 16 and could go 5 times a day without breaking a sweat. Now I’m an old man and I don’t think I could do five in a row more than every other day.

::sniff:: I miss the good ol’ days of weekly paychecks!
Still, I’ll be getting three this month instead of two, and I was planning on using that “extra” money to buy Xmas gifts and maybe pay off a credit card or two. No such luck. Car died on the road Thanksgiving weekend. It’s still in So. Cal. and who knows what it’s going to cost me… Why does this ALWAYS happen? Extra money shows up and suddently something expensive goes kerflooey!? ARUGH!!!

I have a strong dislike for redheaded women. I won’t go into why. This of course does not apply to any of the redheaded women here on the SDMB.
My favorite joke triplet:
Q: What’s the mating call of a blonde?
A: “I’m so drunk!”
Q: What’s the mating call of a brunette?
A: “Is that damn blonde gone yet?”
Q: What’s the mating call of a redhead?
A: “On your knees.”
Heh
Contrary to standardized design for the rest of the world’s alarm clock, my clock has a seven minute snooze. I set the radio on it for classical music, which is usually not to jolting. This morning, I was woken by the full operatic tremulo of an alto singing "now bring us some fi-i-i-iggy pudding, now bring us some fi-i-i-iggy pudding, now bring us some fi-i-i-iggy pudding, and we’ll e-e-eat it right he-e-e-e-e-re.
A surreal way to start the day, I must say.
Will work for sig line.
I get to turn over my calender for December… Ohhh inspirational thought for the month:
Aspirations
Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them and try to follow where they lead.

Phouka, I’ve heard that joke once or twice before, but usually the punch line for the redhead is “Next!”
Tyler! Nooooo! See, we SHOULD have gone for Cadillac margaritas! At least it would have made it worth it . . . .
Oh, I understand the principal has read the thread I started (and linked to above) in the BBQ Pit. Heh.

Finally dragged my cat with me to work last night and neutered and declawed him. I didn’t want to do the declaw but I couldn’t get him to stop scratching the furniture no matter what I tried. (I never had good results with Soft Paws). My cat’s name is Happy but right now he is very un-Happy!
Where was this thread hiding?
I bought a CD yesterday. I’m usually 5 10 years behind on this new stuff. But if it’s still in the store after 5 years, it must be ok. Concrete Blonde. I approve. I have very few women singers in rock that I listen to, so this has met my tough criteria.
Hey! I’m a redhead too! I love redhead jokes! My personal fave:
Redhead: What’s the quickest way to a man’s heart? Through his ribcage.
It’s snowing! A soft, fluffy snow that makes everything look like the sappiest, hokiest, most gorgeous Christmas card you ever saw. All the trees have snow on the limbs and branches…sigh.
I took the woofer out into it and we had a blast. She loves snow; ears up, tail whipping, bellyflops into it, rolls, romps, grins at me with a plop of it on her nose…
It’s beautiful. Life is good.

It’s freezing where I live and the weatherman is threatening snow again; I hate it! Better news is that I got a job offer and may soon be out of here!
Cheers from another redhead Cristi!!
The thing about life is that if you can laugh at yourself and the mistakes you make, then you learn lessons from the things that cause the most pain
Redheads Rule!
Had an awesome weekend!! Partied Friday nite and then drove to see a friend out of town and had dinner, played pool and stayed the night… all and all a great weekend!!!

Yesterday I was in a store, and I saw a book about Terry Gilliam and his films, at $30/25% off. Mr. Rilch loves Gilliam, so after thinking about it last night, I decided to get it for him for Xmas. I originally thought to get it Monday, then, since I had to go out today anyway, I figured, “Why not?” Booooyyyyyyyyyyy, am I glad I went today. There was only one copy, where previously there had been three, and it didn’t even have the “25% off” sticker on it. Luckily, the discount was in the computer, so I got it. Phew. I also ordered him something online. He and I both like “That 70s Show”, and one of his favorite villains, or just favorite characters, is Clarence Boedeker (sp?) from Robocop, played by Kurtwood Smith, who is also Red, Eric’s dad, on “70s Show”. (Enough commas for you?) I saw where I could order a shirt with Red’s picture and one of the best TV quotes of last year: “The reason bad things always happen to you…is that you’re a dumbass.” Only thing is, they didn’t tell me how long it would take to deliver. If it gets here on time, though, I will have two surefire gifts.
Remember, I’m pulling for you; we’re all in this together.

All the trip laundry is done and filed in it’s proper place.
I’ve concluded that me ( and WE in general) have way too much crap in our lives compared to other folks in this world and I am going to take all the crap, room by room, over the next few weeks and just get rid of stuff. I cannot do any heavy lifting( hubby has consented to rid us of some larger unsightly furniture) or go very fast because of this cough that is threatening my existance, but about once a week I think I will be dropping off stuff to Good Will and Salvation Army for the Tax write off. The nicer stuff goes to a resale shop.
It was really good to see our son again. Now, after a week at grandma’s we will have to deprogram him, I’m sure.
