HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAT!

I really hate to break the silence again so quickly after Mootzger, but Pat turns 23 today, let's all give him a big Life After 208 ruckus! Happy birthday, Pat!

I made you this kick ass cake, but all these dogs ate it.

Can you f'n believe it? I actually go through the trouble to bake you a cake, and went to take a picture of it and post it on a blog, and all these damn little dogs with party hats on come running into the kitchen and eat the whole thing! Luckily I managed to snap one picture just as they surrounded it. They paused for a moment to savor their victory, and as you can see I used my immensely long left arm to try to grab the one I figured would be the most hungry ('cuz he's the skinniest), but they all leapt on the cake the moment after this shot was taken.

See, what happened was that just as I set the cake on the table to take my picture, the doorbell rang. I looked through the peephole, and the two white ones with the firemen's hats on tricked me into opening the door by barking that my roof was on fire! They had the hats and everything, so I came running out and when I turned around to look up at the roof they all darted out from behind some bushes and ran right into my house! Thank goodness dogs don't have thumbs, or else I'm sure they would have locked the door behind them.

Also, this is how we were goign to tell you that your present is us legally changing your name to Spinach. Happy birthday, Spinach!!

Settle Down Humans

I mean seriously. Life After 208 is not Tut's Typing Tutor, or what ever Apple II program your grade school made you use to learn the home row. Greatness is not measured in words per minute.


"Oh, look Imaginary Line is averaging .00000000120 words per minute while Life After 208 only is at .00000000107 words per minute. Wow they must suck!"
- Some Dumbass


I did some more research on this and Plato, who lived to be about 80 according to
wikapedia, wrote about 12 works. Now assuming that each one would be one blog post, that is one post ever 6 years or so. If we broke up his work into smaller posts, it would maybe average a post every other month.


Plato. Clearly a man with little to say.


Now, why haven't I been posting lately? Well work has been busy. Maybe you don't know but I make software for hospitals and if I don't do a good job people die. If you were walking down the street and saw me giving CPR to guy on the side of the road would you come up tell me to leave him and go post? Now what if I was giving CPR to 16 million people? Think about that before you start crying about a few days without a post.

Alright, after that I hope that you will now truly appreciate what is coming. Something that combines two 208 classic elements, a graph about the the Gilmore Girls. I decided to graph Rory's Hotness in the form of a pie chart.


It took my computer nearly five days to generate this graph, but really there were no surprises here. I do look forward to verifying the data by rewatching ever Gilmore Girls again.
