Good going, Moonie!

Does Miyazaki feel the same way about all touchscreen devices?

And does it really look like that's what I'm doing?

Looks great, Moonliner- wanna come help with our middle room?

Thanks. I'm probably the only one who'll ever notice the room is painted Lot-Teal.

I have to admit I am not sure of what gesture is being referred to: does it have something to do with the "pose" one often strikes with your head down and your hands in your lap?

I am so clueless. Me and Alicia Silverstone are likethis

Maybe he assumes everybody is lacking in size. I can only think of that pose where they're sitting with it in their lap, fingers constantly flexing as they do the pinching gesture to expand and shrink what's on the screen.

Or maybe it is just leaving it in your lap and causing it to vibrate.

I was at Home Depot buying lumber for my raised bed. I left and was in the parking lot when someone set off a M80. Scared the bejesus out of me and hurt my ears. The asshole was nowhere to be found.

The funny thing is that NO ONE from HD even stopped to investigate. The guy retrieving carts from the lot was in a different world. He walked righ past me and my just-emptied basket. Do people regularly go around this clueless?

Nice job, Moonie!

NA- yes, I think people are that clueless. Kind of sad, really, but they don't seem to want to engage with the world.

Pretty sure he's referring to the scrolling action on the iPad, where you stroke your finger up and down gently over the screen. It looks a lot like you're turning Japanese.
