I was reading a pro-Mac piece online when I came across this gem:
"The word 'yes' in a man's world (especially a husband's) is truly magical, but that's another discussion thread all together. "
Ain't that the truth? What better sound can one hear? "Can I have this dance?" "Would you like to go out Saturday night?" "Can I buy this new iPod?"
Just be careful to word your questions carefully.
More of a column than a blog. And very little about pirates, really. This be the blog of Randal T. Murray (No, the "T" does not stand for "Tiberius", no matter what you may have heard).

Some Goals are Better Than Others
I have a short reading list of RSS feeds and blogs every day - it seems like some topics make the rounds pretty quickly.
Here's one I read on boingboing.net today:
40 Things Every Drunkard Should Do Before He Dies.
First point - completing all 40 might cause one to die.
Next surprising observation: there are a couple of good ideas in this list.
I am a moderate drinker - I didn't drink as an undergraduate and didn't drink much till after I was 25 and in the work force. A couple of drinks is usually fine for me.
On the other hand, I like it. I enjoy whisky and rum neat. I'll happily drink vodka shots or a martini - the colder the better. Beer is great, but a couple of pints is plenty. I love a good port, but rarely get it. And wine with a meal is fine, but not something I have to have.
And don't get me started on Irish Coffee.
"7.) Buy a crowded bar a round. For no reason at all. Jump up on a barstool and shout it loud: “A round for the house! On me!” Make sure you have a good toast ready, because, for once, they’ll all be listening."
