Severity of dish situation as gauged by object used to stir coffee:


  1. Teaspoon - Condition Green
  2. Serving Spoon - Still AOK, using spoons, right?
  3. Fat end of chopstick - All right. Lots of these. Pretend they're swizzle sticks.
  4. Butter knife - Starting to pile up. Hmm.
  5. Pointy end of same chopstick - Doesn't stir as well. Lots of these too, weirdly enough.
  6. Fork - Not cool. Wash dishes if we are also eating cereal off of plates.
  7. Steak knife - Better have a lot of other things going on if we get this far. C'mon.
  8. Pancake turner - Don't let anyone see you. Feelings of shame. Oh the dishes.
  9. Potato peeler - Probably working on a project. Likely haven't shaved in a week.
  10. Ballpoint pen - okay that's it, I'm doing the dishes.

There are intermediate stages, but I think these are the milestone ones.

Also: While looking for my block of swiss this morning, I wondered
who moved my cheese. Then I realized that there is no cheese anymore. "Experts" do say that the cheese is recovering, though. Thanks a lot, Spencer Johnson "MD"

Speaking of MD! I AM ON A WEBSITE

What if I'm using a pen becaues it's the only thing within reach and I just got comfortable?

That's different. The situation I'm talking about is: I'm in the kitchen and I have to go out to my desk to get a pen to stir my coffee with. However, sounds like you're the type of person who would just take down a particularly long refrigerator magnet and use that, if it were handy.

Hrm. Why bother stirring at all? Convection will sort it out, sooner or later...

...and I'd love to have more of that mp3 snippet, if you have it...

In truth, this came up because of the objects I was using to stir the coffee after I dump the water in the press pot. It only stays in there for 3 or 4 minutes, so you really have to stir or else you jam the pot when you try to press it. What does a liquid do if it's being compressed and has tightly restricted vents? Hint: "boiling hot coffee blasting everywhere like a hose without a fireman".

You like the mp3? I never made a song out of it, it's just a demo of the SuperWave->Saw machine. I could, I guess, but I'm busy filling out bugs reports for it.

I have a horrible mental image from that, largely due to an unnamed male friend describing the aiming problem as being 'like holding onto a firehose'...

...and yes, I like! ;>

I am very pleased that you, alone of the samples, still have a first and last name.

I think in the electro-music community it's more cool to be named after something in your signal path. You know, converter, compressor, oscillator, equalizer, that kind of thing. I was thinking of maybe being "Mute Button" or, I dunno, "flaky XLR cable". Oh wait, but then I break the one-name rule.

I end up using chopsticks a lot. Now I can't even find them often. I think that's bad. I'm afraid of our kitchen.

I have a similar problem with spoons. I don't know where the spoons are going, but I have a feeling they are forming an underground resistance group with the 1/4"->1/8" headphone jack adaptors, plotting to overthrow me.
