    • @mjasay @bryce you guys are scaring me 🙁 I guess I still have a few years to go yet #
    • hey this phelps guy isn’t bad 🙂 #
    • Ugh… USA down to 10 men to Nigeria… and now down a goal. #olympics #
    • halftime USA 0 : 1 NGR Orozco for US gets tossed in 4th minute for an elbow, and it’s all downhill from there. #olympics #
    • aaarrrrggg… holden misses the open net. still Nigeria 1-0 53rd minute #olympics #
    • Football is a cruel sport. USA crashes out of the first round of the olympics losing 2-1 to NGR #
    • US were 1min away from advancing when they inexplicably fouled the Dutch who converted the free kick. fscking dutch #olympics #
    • @jclingan guilty as charged 🙂 #
    • @hunleyd woah, now you’ve got me curious 😉 #
    • @DaveTaylor US really should have done better. Honestly, they looked better than the rest of group B. Too many mental lapses and naive play #
    • @DaveTaylor being a US soccer fan is very much akin to rooting for the Cubs. you know you’re gonna lose, and coming close just hurts more #
    • @lisah mmmm… cupcakes! #
    • So… did anyone die from the VMware bug? Hey @ragavan I’m talking to you 🙂 #
    • @timoreilly subprime was the worst of both worlds. As was the CA energy “deregulation” debacle. just regulated enough to prevent competition #
    • @TheInfovore yeah, exactly. it was a cruel fate for the USA this time around. On the plus side, I think we filled some nice holes for 2010 #
    • @guyma bah, I’ve been here all along. where have you been? 😉 #
    • @jrep so what do you do with all those silly exchange calendar requests? it’s the only reason I use evolution. #
    • just lost my zappos virginity. not sure how I feel about that. #
    • every now and then, I peruse crackmonkey.org and pigdog.org to remind myself what the internet used to be. #
    • @daveofdoom bah, just use kopete already 😉 #
    • @NetDiva oh, now I feel much better… er something #
    • @kucharo oh baby… just when you thought it was safe #
