- I do not feel safe around UVA. Apparently robberies and shootings at the local downtown are on the rise. There’s also a serial rapist, who to my knowledge, has not yet been caught. The wanted posters list the man (but maybe they’re not sure) as between 5′6 and 6′0 tall and weighing between 180 and 220 lbs. And they think he has skin, and it may or may not some tint of some color to it.
- In a similar vein, I have yet to see the parking police anywhere on campus. I know they give tickets. I’ve seen them. I’ve gotten one. But I absolutely have not seen them or their modes of transportation.
- When a freak thunderstorm hits, everyone rides the bus. In the rain, some buses leak, allowing rain water to drip on the occupants of the bus.
- All email programs should have the following helpful addition. Whenever an email includes words such as “attached” or “attachment”, the program should alert you if you are about to send such an email without an attachment.

Honestly, you have nothing to fear. Nothing but brutal seemingly endless pain before some psycho cuts your throuat. Hey when I type, your column on the right covers my typing. Hence misspellings and weird shaped paragraphs of mine. How do I fix that?

The last guy who got shot, took it in the shin. That seems like a bad place to take a gunshot wound.
As for the webpage errors, I don’t know. Try upgrading your browser, or using a different one. I still haven’t gotten the new version of WordPress installed, so maybe that will fix it later on.
Lawtonfunk Says:
I can’t upgrade my browser. I’m on a company computer. Oh, well. Taking a bullet in the shin definately sounds horrible.
Brad Says:
ok #4 deserves a follow up. Another suggestion is to really pay attention to your spell check when the email is editing itself. One time Wha and I sent an email to one of our professors and Eudora did not like Wha’s last name and through clicking “ok” on changing all spelling errors he successfully changed his last name to Hormone, I think the professor got a kick out of that.

The spell check in Outlook is horrible. It botches all kinds of things. I reckon I add at least one new word to it every day.
Funk, can you not even do a Windows Update? Or download a .exe? Man, what a crock!
Brad Says:
Nobrainer, Doug at literal barrage somehow fixed the problem that Funk is talkign about, ask him about the scripts.
Brad Says:
I am having it on IE and firefox, earlier today I was on firefox on Literal Barrage and somehow that quote box was OK. I will have to get back to you later on this.
nobrainer Says:
So the “Your Comment” box isn’t ending before it gets to the menu on the RHS? Is anything else not wrapping properly?
Wha Says:
Dude, this is the crap I told you about a month ago. What, I have nicknames like Wha and Corky so I automatically get downgraded on technical issues? This is discrimnation. Oh, and my comment box is further down the page than your side bar so I can actually see all this comment. YAY WHA!

Look, you can’t fault the posters for being PC. No one wants to offend anyone by saying the rapiste was a tall black man with stutter and gerry curls or an angrly little white man with short hair, beady little eyes,and a randomcase of torrett where he screams out ‘Who-Hoo’ in the middle of a perfectly good fight song.
