"I think being a woman is like being Irish." — Iris Murdoch

Tonight I was laughing like crazy over some stuff I read on the web. I showed it to Emma, and she laughed too. Then it was time for dinner. Nelson was sitting right across from me and he was in a little bit of a bad mood. I had just taken a drink of water, and Emma said, "Mom, what did that last picture say?" and -- the water was still in my mouth when I burst out laughing unexpectedly, so (just like in the sitcoms!) I sprayed A LITTLE water on Nelson before I caught myself. It wasn't like I got him all wet or anything.

"Jeez!" he said, all irritated, "Come on!" (That's not what he really said, but let's go with that.)

"Sorry sorry sorry!" I said, and Emma went wild laughing. I started too, and had to run away from the table to be able to swallow without choking. I came back to the table and was afraid to eat or drink until Emma calmed down. She excused her self and ran into her bedroom to scream with laughter. Nelson was pissed. Anyway, I was laughing (1) about LOLCODE which is only funny, I suppose, if you're a programmer.  [Darn.  I put a sample in, but it keeps getting screwed up by auto-formatting.]

THEN I saw, well, (2) LET'S GO WITH THIS ONE, just to be non-partisan.
