OH YES, I SAID THAT

Facebook regularly reminds you of 'memories', which you may wish to post again because of their staggering wit, appositeness, or the associated trauma. Sometimes this is good; "Fluffy barfed into my favourite loafers overnight", for instance, which might remind you not to let your pet eat an entire can of tuna, or "gung ho Dolphins" when the local team was on a crime spree in New England. Which probably involved substances and seedy things.
That last is sports related, I do not follow sports.
The Dolphins are a group of men.
Fluffy is a hedgehog.
Imaginary.

Accordingly, this morning Facebook reminded me of things I said on May 24 in various years going back to the dawn of time.


Very little in my life is "family friendly". My friends and kin are too intelligent for that crap.

This is the quintessential paradigmatic San Francisco sentence: "Hey sweetie, I need you to move, you've been mooning my customers".

What methodology did they use to measure variance in disease resistance between childhood booger eaters and non-booger eaters?!?

That uncomfortable moment after your parents throttled you in a corn field when you discover that you are not allowed into heaven.

If you're going to sleep in the doorway, at least cover your damned privates. This is SF, we have hungry crows.

Yo mosquitoes! Nice juicy female in other room. Nothing but a dried up old coot here. Eat her! Tasty!

Legally Blonde II: a movie so horrendously icky that it's soul-destroying.

Your bus pass is for surface transit only. The rest requires coffee.

The fish don't bite until you're in past the knees.

Never play chess with a goat.



More significantly (earth-shaking, in fact), on this day in 1595 was published the Nomenclator Autorum Omnium, Quorum Libri Vel Manuscripti, Vel Typis Expressi Exstant in Bibliotheca Academiae Lugduno-Batavae (the "Nomenclator of Leiden University"), listing all authors and their works (manuscripts and/or printed exemplars) which could be found in the library of that venerable institution.

About which I had nothing to say at the time.

Surprisingly.
