Arrrrgh! What is the world coming to? *Gathers patience*

First, the Rocky in Rocky and Bullwinkle is a flying squirrel, not a raccoon.

Rocky Raccoon is from a song on an album by the Beatles named The Beatles but more commonly referred to as The White Album. The song is named, appropriately enough, Rocky Raccoon. If you haven't heard The White Album go get it from your library or wherever and listen to it. Do not pass Go and do not collect $200.

doh.

I knew that. It's early-ish and Monday-ish. A brief moment of pop-culture unawareness that won't happen again

back pack? are you in school, or is it actually a man-purse?

One of my summer jobs was with a software company at which the CEO had his secretary print out his emails. He would then write a response out in longhand, and she'd type it in and email for him.

It's a shame that the traditional secretarial skills are falling by the wayside. Nobody takes shorthand anymore.

I hear a really good secretary could take shorthand on a steno pad with her right hand, and give the boss a handjob with her left.

yeah.. well I prefer to think of it as a backpack..(I have it bad enough with the long hair/coffeeshop/henley wearin' thing..) well it's not a satchel at least! (although I do have one for all my guitar stuff (when we play shows) so I think hauling in a marshall 1/2 stack offsets the murse.. and damn! I walk most everywhere I go (so long as it's within 2 miles and am a horrid packrat.. hmm.. backpackrat?).

and yeah.. okay Ignorant is the better term.. sorry I was going with the 'normal' term I hear from my IT buddies...

that still is not the point though! is Rocky alive or dead? in my opinion it all depends on how you use the term 'revival' wether it's in the conventional sense or in the southern baptist sense.. but then again.. he is from the black mining hills of Dakota.. hmmm
