My husband and I have those moments all the time, with the exact same joke. Thanks for sharing!
fun with dirty words
I carried a huge box of firewood through the store, resting it upon my shoulder so it would't give me a hernia. When I got to the checkout, when Anne was waiting for me, she giggled. "What?" I said. "You've got wood." "Nice." I said. We got all of our items scanned, and as I was typing in my PIN ...

Everytime you post a blog entry in which that sweater comes up, I almost spew milk out my nose. Today, however, I was lucky enough to not be drinking milk. :)
Off topic, Wil, but the Wiki-How of the day on my Google homepage was how to make a Starship Enterprise from a floppy disk. I've got a project, then, for tonight, and wanted to share:
http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Starship-Enterprise-Out-of-a-Floppy-Disk
I didn't know if you'd mind me adding the html tags, so I didn't, just to be safe.
it's clobberin' time
I occasionally contribute to blogging.la. Like most group blogs, we have an internal mailing list where we toss ideas around, point out stories that we don't have time to write but could probably be cool for someone else to post, and all that stuff. While we usually stick to business, from time...

Is it sad that as soon as I saw the intro page, I started singing the song? How on earth did I remember that? I must've been 5 or 6, at the oldest!
have you played atari today?
Oh man, this commercial makes me want to put Escape on the record player, put on my corduroy OP shorts, and spend the entire afternoon playing real arcade games right in my own home! (via Netscape)

Wil, you're totally and completely right. Some may be upset that you're throwing politics into your blog. To that, my response is that it's your blog. You should write about whatever inspires you.
I have tried for the 12 years I've been eligible to vote that party-affiliation shouldn't matter, that the issues are what should be examined and researched carefully. Unfortunately, I haven't found but one Republican candidate in any race I've ever voted for that I could agree with.
It reminds me of the despair.com poster, "Power." Unfortunately, in this case, power corrupts absolutely.
there he goes again
Remember when George Bush said that he'd really like to be a dictator, because it would make things so easy for him? If you've followed his unprecedented use of presidential signing statements, it looks more and more like he was deadly serious each time he said it. His latest should really both...

Well put, Wil. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us. I loved reading this quick synopsis of your posts this year, all the while watching you on VH1's "I Love the 80s 3D." As I type, you have just talked about Mr. Wizard and needing decaliters of oil. :)
It's going to be a great New Year's Eve! Happy 2007 to you and to your family.
The 2006 Best of WIL WHEATON dot NET:in Exile.
2006 was a very good year. In fact, it was probably the best year I and my family have had since 2003. So, with less than 9 hours remaining, I thought I'd hop in the wayback machine and take a quick look at some of the highlights. Fire it up, Sherman! I traveled to Montreal, where I saw the beau...

Glad I'm not the only one who gets a case of the heebie-jeebies listening to these. Still, the idea is fascinating. I msut admit, though, that there are things going on in the world that I don't want to know anything about, and that I want no part of.
more numbers stations
If you were intrigued by my numbers station post a while ago, you'll definitely want to read this story about the numbers from today's Washington Post. It has all the usual information about the Lincolnshire Poacher, and the station we call V2, which probably comes out of Cuba, but it has new inf...

My evil villain was Dr. Doom, who, I might add, is pretty gross-looking.
Superhero? Got exactly what I thought I would:
85% Superman
83% Superwoman
80% Spiderman
I'm happy that I was only 35% Catwoman. Don't like being likened as a girly-girl.
I wonder if one of these quizzes exists for "What Famous Geek Are You?" If not, someone should invent one.
Heroes and Villains
I saw the "What Superhero are you?" quiz at Jason's blog, and my damn curiosity got the better of me, so I took it. Though I was hoping for Green Lantern or Batman (though I totally know I'm not dark enough for Batman), I got Spiderman. It's a little freaky how accurate the description is, I thi...

Wil,
My cat, Adagio, does the same kind of stuff. My only thing is that I had him for about 3 years before my hubby and I got married. We were very close when I was single, and consequently, he has a terrible jealous streak. If my husband even talks to me, Adagio attacks him.
The nice thing about Adagio being so protective is that when my hubby has to work nights, Adagio curls up by my feet in the bed, and meows and wakes me up if ANYTHING moves outside our house. Unfortunately, he also wakes me up by climbing up onto the pillow above my head, and arranging my hair into a nest. A few times I've woken-up to him licking/grooming my hair as he was laying on it.
It's nice to be loved, but...*sigh*
in which i fail a yet another saving throw
My dog Riley is under the impression that my bed is actually her bed. When I'm not in it, this isn't the biggest of deals, but since she's also under the impression that I should wake up and feed her at unreasonably early hours, it's starting to become a big deal. I'm a total sucker for animals...

Troi says, "I'm sensing a lot of boners, Commander."
LOL!! I'm laughing my ass off at that one. I'm trying to picture it/hear it in her slightly-accented voice! HAHAHA!!! Thanks, Wil!
TNG Review: Justice
I have a new TNG episode review up at TV Squad today. This time, I did Justice: After dropping some human colonists off in the Strnad solar system, the Enterprise notices a rather nice Class M planet in the nearby Rubicun system, called Rubicun III. Picard sends an away team down to the surface ...

Lee, I just about spat ice cream onto my new LCD monitor. That shirt is awesome! :D So is the "Music + Science = Sexy" one. I should bust that one out at school!
what a long strange trip it's been
I asked Ryan (the resident genius here in Chez Wheaton, where our motto is "Mathus is Hardus") what the formula was to find circumference of a circle if you know its diameter. "It's C = π⋅D" he said. "Thanks," I said, "I can't believe I forgot that." I got my calculator and put in 186000000 * ...

I teach remedial math as well as band, so I guess I get to wear some kind of supreme nerd shirt. That, and the fact that I met my hubby on the math/science team in HS. :)
That having been said, I totally geeked-out on this particular blog entry. Now I must pull out my HP-48GX calculator that I got for my 18th birthday (Thanks, Mom and Dad!), and figure out the distance I've travelled on this planet. Thanks for the great idea!

I know exactly what you mean, Wil. Talking with one of my closest friends from college this past weekend, we are amazed at how many things we've forgotten in the 6 years since graduation. Simple and fun things, like boisterously singing "Sexual Healing" with the radio while seated at the local IHOP at 3 a.m., or the random stuff we did that first summer session when we became friends. They're moments that meant so much then, and still do, if we could only remember them.
Or, holding my cat in the palm of my hand and washing his eyes so carefully when he was one day old, his mother having just passed away. I can't even remember what it felt like to hold his entire little body in one hand back then, but I wish I could feel that one more time.
I hope there are some posts to follow on some of those tiny, super-important things you remember.

I love reading these posts from Annie. They're hysterical. Thanks for sharing this, Wil. And a congrats to Annie!
The romantic sounds of video game theme songs. This is what I must get my hubby for Christmas. Thanks for the idea!!
it's a mug's game
Annie is celebrating her one year blog-o-versary. (Yeah, I said "blog-o-versary." So what? You wanna fight about it?) What was I doing one year ago? Oh. I know. Dusting off the Millenium Falcon, boo beeping R2’s holograms, and learning codes and 'a ref-hef's = things and shit" to wage war on the...
