Yes, it’s that time again, the time where I put YOU in the drivers seat. This time, as vectored from riba_rambles, the questions to be asked are three.
I want everyone who reads this to ask me 3 questions, no more, no less. Ask me anything you want. Then I want you to go to your journal, copy and paste this allowing your friends (including myself) to ask you anything.
So ask away. I needed some stuff to talk about anyway. 🙂

Good evening, mortals, I’d like to introduce myself.
I’m Sauron,the Lord of the Rings.
Caught the title, did you? I should expect so. Most of
you idiots might remember the title to the movie with
Frodo, Legolas, and/or Aragorn in it. Which is why
we’re going to have a little conversation.
*I* am the Lord of the Rings. Not some midget with
hairy feet and blue eyes the size of saucer plates.
Not some pretty boy with pointy ears and a blond wig.
Not some loser king-turned-ranger-turned-king badly n
need of a haircut and a shave. Me. Sauron. The
Deceiver. The real honest-to-Tolkien Lord of the
Rings.I don’t mean to complain. I’m glad you came to see my
movie. But you seem to have lost focus. The bloody
movie is named after ME!! It’s not “Midget Carrying A
Ring,” or “Cute Elf Boy,” or “Sexy Ranger.” It’s “Lord
of the Rings.” If it was about one of the above, I’m
sure they would have renamed it to “The Ringbearer,”
or some other flowery title.

I posted this back in 2002, because I liked it, and I think it’s worth repeating again during these uncertain times:

Running “apt-get upgrade” on my work box, and one of the packages it was updating was “bsdmainutils”. Somehow, I misread that as “bdsmutils” and wondered “When did I install that?”.
And what sort of bdsm tools would you want under Linux, assuming that was the sort of thing you were into anyway?

On the theory that we could all use a hearty dose of positive energy and general warm fuzziness while we wait, none too patiently, for spring and better times; that *no* one I know is getting told often enough what a good job they’re doing just getting through this crazy, lovely world. Take a second, and mention something you like about me (if such a thing exists) in the comments. Then repost this to your own journal, and have some goodness for yourself.
From the April 9 issue of The Tech,. MIT’s online newspaper:
Jail Bill Watterson
by Amal DoraiI really liked “Calvin and Hobbes.” In fact, I’m pretty sure most of you did, too. It was like “The Simpsons”; not just funny, but warm and insightful, taking us back to the carefree days of childhood. Yet Bill Watterson cruelly stopped drawing “Calvin and Hobbes” in 1995, only ten years after it began, and well before it started to get old. It was still funny, still great, and he just stopped. If I were the president of the United States, I’d throw him in prison and force him to draw more strips.
