whaa?

Saw the Flying Karamazov Brothers last night with [livejournal.com profile] gusmacroy. It was all full of puns and science nerd jokes. Would have been the perfect place to take a 10-12 year old who'd jsut gotten straight A's or something.

My favorite one liner? They were making fun of the Laws of Thermodynamics:

For every activist there is an equal and opposite reactionary.

Too priceless. I want to plaster that everywhere. Once upon a time in my life, I might have.

Got a call from a recruiter, it's just a short term contract, but he called back and asked for my SSN so we'll see if that goes anywhere. If there's a credit check involved, I'm a dead man. Funny, I'd rather have a drug test than a credit check.

Off to do my daily search for the j-o-b.

Heh heh. Thanks for including the link to the show, I'd caught part of the description of it on the local news and wanted to go, but hadn't gotten around to investigating further. I'm definately going to go now, although I wonder - my kid is advanced for seven, but she's stil seven. You think it'll be too advanced for her or is there enough eye candy to keep her entertained even when she doesn't get the overall concept?

There is lots of juggling and fancy lights and fun tricks with music to entertain those who don't get the Aristotle jokes. I think she'll love it. . . well, I would have when I was 7.

I think the seven year old will be totally entertained, there's hella eye candy and goofiness.

Two atoms are walking down the street, and one says, I think I've lost an electron. The other says, "Are you sure?"

"I'm positive!" bah dum bump
