What's on your mind today?

I cannot wait for the elections to be over.
Frightening to watch and see how much religion is in our political system.

More frightening to see the politics in our Supreme court.

If I hear one more time that this is a Christian Nation, I will scream.

I really enjoy Irish Dry Stout beers at the end of the day.  Also, I'm glad that so many people are turning to Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire if you prefer).  That series changed my life way back in 1998.

You and me both, Tank.


LOL, Homer. xD

But no one has been elected if they weren't christian I think.... *sigh*
I remember some people didn't vote for Obama because they thought he was Muslim. *facepalm* >___<

Some people STILL think he's Muslim. Whenever they write his name, they emphasize his middle name, just to make a stupid "point". *facepalms too*

All I can say is...  http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/americas/us-election/us-election-blog/live-long-prosper-and-get-re-elected-obama-displays-his-vulcan-salute/article2392191/



Despite any of his policies people dislike... That man is a Trekkie and he just scored points with me...

Do you know the story behind the 'Live long and prosper' hand sign?

In his autobiography I Am Not Spock, Nimoy wrote that he based it on the Priestly Blessing performed by Jewish Kohanim with both hands, thumb to thumb in this same position, representing the Hebrew letter Shin (ש), which has three upward strokes similar to the position of the thumb and fingers in the salute. The letter Shin here stands for Shaddai, meaning "Almighty (God)". Nimoy wrote that when he was a child, his grandfather took him to an Orthodox synagogue. There he saw the blessing performed and was very impressed by it.

Hmm, interesting! I did not know that. Thanks!

Still, I'd bet that most people associate the sign with Star Trek (a fairly humanist-leaning, very geeky show) moreso than the Jewish blessing. My guess is Obama's a Trekkie. I haven't heard anyone yet say he's secretly Jewish. 

Anyway, him throwing the sign made me laugh when I heard it. I've never seen Bush Jr make that sign. The most he flubbed up was 'I love you' in ASL, which came out butchered as

On my mind today: due to a mix-up in time differences, I got up INSANELY early for a student who in fact was due to show up hours from now. 

Coffeeeee.... *stumbles off to the kitchen*

Butchered?  This is literally the coolest thing I've ever seen Gee-Dub do.  Look at the look on his face!  Rockin' it.

Yes. Coffee. A whole glorious day off, with nothing to do. Just cooling it and drinking coffee.

You do know that signature image is way bigger than the example in the rules?

Do you usually frown at a victory over compliance?

The hilarious part is that he's rocking it without even meaning to rock it!

Is what I do.

(Actually, using a big and colorful image in one's signature makes the forum look messy, especially when the posts take less place than the sig)
