Communication is very important. Or, that's how I feel, at least! ;)

Too bad that invention doesn't work in reverse - Ferd might have a chance to travel back in time and save his Fridge! :)

Not to worry - I just Swiffered! :D

That's not a bad gig, Nate!
Depending on what happens with my day job I'll listen in if I can! :)

Not a bad movie - I think you might kinda' like it. :)

Does hank know how to make any balloon animals?! :)

Have you ever seen "So I Married an Axe Murderer"? Your story reminds me of one of my favorite scenes - Steven Wright plays a pilot who is trying to comfort a nervous passenger but always ends up making him feel much worse:

Tony Giardino: Hey listen. How long is it gonna take us to get there?
Pilot: It shouldnt take very long.
[pause]
Pilot: Actually I have no concept of time.
Tony Giardino: Geez, is this dangerous?
Pilot: No. Well, you know theres chance in everything.
:)

Ahhh the memories - I almost lit my hair on fire in a science class once. Now that's dedication - I think I might have even gotten a C- on that lab. :$

I wish we had that sky and those temperatures in the STL right now! :'(

No wonder you don't like Higgins, Nate - there's a battery leaking some acidic goop into your bottle! ;)
