Woohoo! The Chain Gang now has 10,000 posts!

In celebration of this being The Chain Gang’s 10,000th post, I offer a new game.

It’s somewhat lame, especially compared to the awesome Mac Haiku thread, but here goes.

Yoy post a thought. The thought is pretty random, but it is, in some way, connected to the previous post. Kind of like thought bubbles. The previous person’s thought reminds you of something else. Or something.

Yeah, pretty vague. But hey, the rules always get changed later on anyway.

Here’s my thought:

I need to scrounge up about $3000 for a Dual GigaMac.

[edit: changed the wording to be a bit less confusing. I hope.]

Great thread idea, x!

I need to scrounge up about $3000 so I can go visit Bryan and Jinkies in Japan… think they would mind? 

(Is this the $3000 thread?)

I think I need to scrounge up $3000 so I can get a bigger apartment, the better with which to hold Bryan’s entire family. 

I’m also wondering what I could do with a 8mBps connection and 15 gigaflops in my apartment…

With an 8Mbit connection, I’d need a huge hard drive.

Victor Hugo wrote pretty big, though I don’t know about huge. Didn’t he write Candide, the really twisted 18th century version of Heinlein’s ‘Job, a Comedy of Justice’? You know, it is really strange that, with the vast resources of the web at my fingertips, I still commit stuff to posts without checking my facts - fortunately, there is always the Edit feature

(If Jinkies420 has 14 GFlops in her apt, would that make it a GFlophouse?)

I wonder what’s on Comedy Central…

I still have The Daily Show from when they returned after their 9/11-induced hiatus saved on the Tivo.

That sounds interesting. Wish I had seen that. The AtAT episode on 9/11 was great.

That AtAT episode was a great piece of serious, honest thinking by Jack.

Why do we never see AtAT’s Katie?

I was discussing homeopathic alternatives to malaria pills with my friend Katie.  Now the question becomes, where do I go to get them in Japan?

My girlfriend, Els, is a big homeopathic medicine fan. I’m not too sure about it, though…

I wonder if she’ll have any luck in finding a new job.

Ugh, new job.  Normally I find most change disturbing.

I need change for the laundry machine ... until my washer and dryer are delivered.

I hate it when machines such as TVs feel the need to be junk and barely turn on in the morning.

I just hate mornings, especially cold ones. 

I demand a private jet to take me to work!
