  4. @notmoro Hey now, I only said I knew about dyeing accidents, not about Bagpusses...
  5. @Marjorie73 @notmoro I know *all about* dreadful dyeing errors. Oh yes I do!
  6. @quasigeostrophy Wheeee!

  9. @vampiress This American Life this week was all about drinking at Penn State.
  10. @mightymur Rural PA is like that. If it weren't, my hair would be purple.
  11. @sotsogm It is truly horrible to be you. How you must suffer!

  16. .@Arwenn73 statistician is a subset of the type, and mathematician is also not right: they do something different than what I'm thinking of.
  17. A person who works with words is a writer. Why can't I think of a corresponding single word for one who works with numbers?
  18. Drinking coffee and pondering databases. It's highly exciting around here.
  19. @fabulouslorrain @neilhimself And *this* is why she's fabulous! Well, this and several million other things.
  20. @quasigeostrophy If the choice were coming here and me going somewhere else, I know which I'd pick!
