Ah. Explains the profuse prose.

Maybe some college slackers would be interested in this?

From the February 1976 issue of BYTE:

CHEERS

Several years ago while daydreaming in
one of my computer science classes, I
formulated what I have since called the
programmer's cheer. As a systems program-
mer, I now recite this occasionally to uplift
the spirits of my fellow software and hard-
ware specialists. It is also invigorating to
insert this in documentation and in the
comments of program listings. Maybe BYTE
readers and staff members can use this to
inspire enthusiasm and spread the good
word?

Programmer's Cheer:

Shift to the left!
Shift to the right!
Pop up! Push down!
BYTE, BYTE, BYTE!

If this even got onto the news here, I completely missed it.

Figures there would be a special day for a konvini cornershop.

Is it just my memory playing tricks, or is it legal to forbid access by IP number? Cloudflare-no-baka!

Anyway, this (104.18.18.242) is supposed to be fanfiction.net's IP number; here for addicts in withdrawal.

Fanfiction.net seems to be up and running again.
At least I'm able to open it here in Vancouver.

Worked OK this morning here in the Chibi White North.

"Little Nuns" looks like an oddball series with oddball characters. The "Last Supper" scene above...

Hopefully you'll find time to preview this stuff before the decorations have to go up.

Ended up imagining Genma speed-eating a fully-spiced-up bag of this and then trying all kinds of home remedies to get rid of the pains.

Nabiki should probably be somewhere in between. Not nearly as much a part of the craziness, but less immune to it than Kasumi.
