Barnard...my mom was adopted and found out that her bio mom was related in some way to the siblings who founded Barnard College (Martha Stewart's alma mater). Apparently there was some connection to some Stevenson's from the bit the investigator was able to dig up about my mom's ancestry. I like to think that Robert Louis Stevenson might have been a relative.
But I will go with William Wallace. Or perhaps Robert Roy MacGregor (love that movie).

I can't wait to be back in the States. All of mine are in Japanese Absolutely no clue what they're for. Wonder if they'd be different with the VPN on...hmmm.
mta: Oh wait, now they're in English. Apparently I need to "reclaim my brain." Wow, that's not good.
All I get are these:

I finally turned my ads off. I turned them back on today in hopes I would get something more entertaining. Nope. Turning them back off now. Too bad there's not an option to only show interesting ads. Boo.
I don't half-ass anything
"I have several close friends who have run marathons, a word that is actually derived from two Swahili words: mara, which means 'to die a horrible death' and thon, which means 'for a stupid T-shirt.' Look it up." - Celia Rivenbark, You Can't Drink All Day if You Don't Start in the Morning
Now I have Aer Lingus ads...probably from thinking about what I'd do if I won the Powerball jackpot.

That means you have an ad blocking software running. Instead of turning your ads off and on in RA you have to go to the adblock software and enable ads only for this site.

I swear that I saw an ad about pole dancing. Maybe, I was still asleep?
No - it was real - I saw it too. It was for a company that sells "professional" pole-dancing poles, complete with installation.
Couldn't convince my wife we needed one...

Not always. I have no ad blocking software and I got the placeholder ads all day today while I was traveling. Not sure why. Now that I'm back at home, I get regular ol ads.
I missed the pole dancing one and for that I am thankful.

You need to have just the right place for one of those.
Singer who doesn't run.
I saw an ad once for a beard beanie from Fab. I thought it was the funniest thing ever. And now I am going to buy one for my nephew for Christmas. I am slightly that the ad actually worked ...
When it's all said and done, no one remembers how far we have run. The only thing that matters is how we have loved.

I turned on the ads yesterday, nothing but placeholders, but today I'm getting something, looks like that's a one-day delay? I'm not sure I like my ads though.

I want to see the pole dancing one...

KHAN!!!!
Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive.
That was a two level joke.
The OTHER level was the potential for overamped message board drama to little things.
Whenever people perceive my posts to be angry or something like that, I tell them to read it with a funny accent. Another way to read them is with... William Shatner's.... style of... DELIVERY.

This guy looks happy, too.
Not sure what I did to deserve this, but thanks!
