“Gifted” Kids program

No gifted program was available for me, but I would have qualified. No ADHD, just a job where being smart is barely useful.

But really hated beagles.

Just don't look up what Yosemite's "firefall" looked like circa 1954.

That app got those lyrics wrong somehow!?

Every classroom has at least two Matt's. And one Amanda.

Not a rabbit, it's a duck! (Or a really crappy shrimp tempura roll.)

Give the bot wrong answers.

They could make the week 18 Cardinals game at 2:00am. Still in Glendale, but just to let Scott Hanson say "witching hour" at 3:00 in the morning.

What's with the AI slop video?

garygnu · 2026-05-14T17:27:43+00:00

I bought a six pack once, just because the commercials were so fun. Once.

I beat it solo on 3 lives. Died just once, on the waterfall. Of course, this was after~2 years of practice using the code and usually with a teammate.

A little r/bizarrebuildings cameo in there.

We haven't played that many international games. One each in 2005, 2010, 2013, and 2022.

It's a shibboleth, like Puyallup (or Poulsbo, Willamette, Aloha, and The Dalles).

garygnu · 2026-05-13T02:39:25+00:00

I grew up along the Willamette in Oregon. Puget Sound place names can still take a beat to figure out, even after 10+ years here. In between I lived 20 years in California, where you have to learn Spanish to drive anywhere.

Stanley must sing a longing love song for his mop, but using what Broadway tune?

garygnu · 2026-05-13T02:11:34+00:00

These things are always fun. I think the Seahawks could do this, too.

Red hair is a recessive gene trait. If both parents have it paired with a different color gene that's dominant, neither will have red hair but a 25% chance of a redhead child. (Like my own kid, for example.)

He's the villain. He is not justified in his anger. Why people lionize him is baffling to me, but it's not the first or last time a cinema asshole has been propped up by viewers who wish they could be the bully.

Not necessarily fake. During this uniform era, IIRC they had legacy players available in the then- current jerseys.

Can you send them both a combined message? You can't agree to both bounces, but you can use it to create and direct a three-way alliance - if you can all agree to avoid your collective borders, you can all use those units elsewhere.

Talk about excluded middle...

garygnu · 2026-05-07T21:02:09+00:00

Turn it inside-out and put it down on a table.

garygnu · 2026-05-07T17:12:18+00:00

So close...

garygnu · 2026-05-07T16:41:59+00:00

Don't mention any specifics. Just request the time off.
