Wow. I saw that and instead of actively seeing that it said "NSFW" my brain said to me, "If Kevin is specifically saying something about the link, then it must be that it's "SFW" because, by default there would be no need for Kevin to say anything about the link, we'd all just go ahead and assume it's NSFW. So it's safe to click on the link."

Thanks brain!

That is a drastic change Moonie. What happened?

Was going to make a joke about your casio action typo. But I looked at the Wikipedia page for Casio and am instead amused by how the company got started:

Quote:

Casio was established in April 1946 by Tadao Kashio, an engineer specializing in fabrication technology. Kashio's first major product was the yubiwa pipe, a finger ring that would hold a cigarette, allowing the wearer to smoke the cigarette down to its nub while also leaving the wearer's hands free. Japan was impoverished immediately following World War II so cigarettes were valuable, and the invention was a success.

*sigh*

5:46pm today is when my flight to LAX takes off without me. Rather than spending tomorrow at DLR, then flying to Reno for WorldCon I'll be at work the rest of the week and then heading for Cleveland to drop Moonie Jr. off at college.

My cheese is sad on a whole host of levels.

It's just five minutes off of exit 5! Kids under five eat free and they'll have a great time in our play room! Bring grandma and uncle Fergus cause folks over 55 years young get 10% off!

Remember, at Krafty's, it's not all you can eat, it's all you can stand!

It's sad, but, being an Australian, and knowing what I know about America, I totally had to check on Google whether that place was real or not....

I got to Reno about lunch time. The hotel is nice, but being in Nevada, smells like stale cigarettes.

Don't feel too bad about missing it Moonie... From what I've seen so far this is going to be the saddest Worldcon I've experienced. I was talking to an old friend. He commented that the programing, art show, and exhibits just aren't up to Worldcon standards. I had to agree with him.

Oh... and they didn't order enough badge lanyards. They ran out this morning. Sounds like poor planning all around.
