Make a fire underneath, preferrably with slightly moist wood on a day with little or no wind.

So there I am, driving home from the grocery store with my windows down, listening to some music. Stop at a red light. Look left - cop car. Windows also down.

"ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH" from my speakers. Glance to my right - the car is a mess, and all I bought at the grocery store is 2.5 pounds of microwaveable chicken and half a dozen energy drinks. I haven't shaved in days. Immediately, I fear for what may happen if the officer takes offense and "assumes" I'm high on something.

Fortunately, I continue my streak of good luck with law enforcement, and no beatings ensued.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Did you make a Gurren Lagann cd or something to play in your car?

But really, even though it seems that police beatings are all the rage nowadays, the general fear of law enforcement is, I feel, largely misplaced.

I was joking about the idea of beatings, and it's more likely that I'd be pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving (which would just be a hassle, since I wasn't), but given the number of stereotype boxes I checked, I am pretty sure the officer wouldn't have had any practical problems with or consequences to making my night suck.

Hmmm... I'll ask Descan to get all lubricated and sugery. Though he might get eaten again...
I misread this for a moment and it made me wonder about the impracticality of lubricating before performing surgery. Then I realized I just typed that sentence out. And now I am confused as to how the notion of lubricated surgeons even came into fruition.

Actually, there are a lot of things where that comes in handy. We have packets of sterile lubricant jelly at the hospital for what I understand is exactly this reason, although I'm pretty sure it's got more to do with lubricating the patient (specifically, what's being operated on) and not the surgeon.

Look, sapping Descan's inherant punniness can only go so far.

What we really need are lubricated sturgeons.

Throwing sturgeons into a lubricated surgeon wrestling match, anyway. Gods only know that's someone's fetish.
