I have given up on even numbers. It's a slippery slope. 2600, and next thing you know we have to aim for 3000. And so on. I do think it would be funny if we eulogized Huh and then just kept right on posting for another few thou. BUT the reload is already killer. Can't take the pain anymore.

Hey, I have given up on legitimacy. It doesn't suit me very well.

I have given up on even numbers. It’s a slippery slope. 2600, and next thing you know we have to aim for 3000.

To be honest, the logical target should be 10000, no?

Sorry to hear you've been sick. I noticed you weren't around much, Peter P. Hope you're back to normal soon.

10,000?!?!?!? You are a masochist.

10,000 is logical? How long would that re-load hell be?

Technology will get us there. In a few years, we will all have fiber-optic internet connections. Huh-10000 will be possible.

No thread bubble. Threads will grow through the end of this decade!

"I will go for 3000 all by myself peter p , I am into it! "

Jack is into it all by himself. Just him and the reload time. Sick!

Sorry to hear you’ve been sick. I noticed you weren’t around much, Peter P. Hope you’re back to normal soon.

Thanks Jamie.

Peter P is still back on the Social effects thread talking about lobster or something. That's pretty funny, Peter P. Glad to see you're as dedicated to the thread as I am.

Hey, Huh-10000 sounds like the name of a marketable product. Why don't we sell something with that name?

The reload time is all about masochism. And staring at the horror of one's own inadequacies.

I'm sure we could have Huh-10000 tshirts made at cafe press or something. We could confound people. Create an underground craze. Write a blockbuster book with that title. Start an investing craze.

Watch Peter P will eventually just vanish with no explanation. I like how he appears and disappears like that. Like a magic trick, well except that I hate magic tricks, so maybe not like that.

Yeah, I saw that thing about the google quote. Wow, you went to page ten of the search listings to find that. That's dedication to Huh.

My dumb words recorded for posterity and strange people doing google searches of the word "huh." Now that's something to be proud of.

I used to get some really funny search words from people who stumbled upon my website, but last time I checked nothing strange. Sorry, I should explain, there is this website management thingy I can check to see what search terms people used to get to my website.

Wow, fate leading you to obscure Google listings!

Fate must be pretty damn bored and have nothing better to do.

So how is the writing going SQT?

(see how Peter P vanished...or is he LURKING?)

The "HUH" ticker symbol is not taken yet. Let's market something and go IPO.

HUH vs. GOOG

Hmmmm, what can we market? Hmmmm? Banality and self-obsession? Is that selling?

Hey, 2 pages is excellent when you're sick. You're a masochist too aren't you? Go get some rest! You just made your graceful transition.

Sorry you're still feeling badly, by the way.

And then he will go draw a mile-long black line to release the pain.

SQT, rest and feel better!

Get well, SQT. Good night, and thanks for the good trip wishes. I'll think of you when I"m slogging around the San Diego zoo with a two year old crying "No, I want to see the monkeys! No elephants! Monkeys! Monkeys!"

That's the plan, but early would be 7-ish. And since my daughter is a 6AM girl lately, that could actually happen for once.

You're welcome.

Probably. I also haven't packed yet, or printed directions, or figured out where the hotel is... Such a good planner I am.

Oh well head south on 15 and I'm bound to run into San Diego eventually.

A gallery walk? Like you're leading it or what?

I don't mind packing. I just throw a bunch of stuff in a bag. Then I get where I'm going and remember everything I forgot to pack. Heh.

Does SF have good art galleries? I have not visited any there, I am embarrassed to say. But I've visited almost every one in Paris... that counts for somethign right?

NO, I know all about the symmetry is less interesting thing. I still like it.

No, not strictly contemporary. I didn't think of being that discriminating.

That's okay, I can read typos. We'll continue this discussion later. Because I really should like actually pack and stuff now!

Have a good weekend!

Wow, I've been missing out. Okay, it's an unspecified date.

Ciao!

Perhaps we can have a BAHC tour of SF galleries and sushi bars? I will be out of town for 2.5 weeks starting next week though.

Ok SQT, I will try the sleeping sponge method….10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1……zzzzz

If it does not work, try counting fibonacci numbers: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, zzzzzzz.

Hey not a lot of action here in the bowels of the thread while I was gone. I'm baaa-aaaaaack! Haaaahahahahahaaaa!

Traveling with kids is an excercise in voluntary torture. Or like lining up to pay a lot of money for the torture. You wait an hour in the line, your feet hurt like hell, just so you can fork over a few hundred bucks for, "Um, I'll take...thorns under the fingernails, and a side of Chinese water torture. Make that a double."

But it was nice to get away, and San Diego was far more lovely than I remember it being 11 years ago, and I'm back and hyped up on coffee. I mean, I really, really liked San Diego. It felt remarkably uncrowded compared to LA and SF, and the sun was great and the palm trees were great and the people were laid back and friendly and unpretentious. Definitely a nice place to be. Like LA without the smog and assholes.
