now if only coulton were publicly traded... i could have got rich (at least in coulton-bux) off my ability to guess that the man might possibly have a sense of humor. and it wouldn't've been unethical even because i'm not under suspicion of starting the rumor!
@three08: Jonathan could walk on stage w/ a sign saying 'rumors of my seizures have been greatly exaggerated'. Heh, when I told tell my college friends 'oh, fyi, I have epilepsy' they handled it in a very mature manner: The offered to put a drink shaker in my hands so we could have martins afterward.
I read Agent Lex's comment as meaning turtlenecks. That is to say, I read it as 'what they call skivvies over there' without really thinking about it much. But now that I look at it more closely, I see that he said polo necks, which does not need translation and means something quite different. I assume it was a mistake.
@Lex: maybe they're referring to Steve Jobs' cancer scare, I don't know.
He had pancreatic cancer a while ago, but it was operated on and now it's apparently okay. Which is not quite similar to JoCo's twitters since has far as I know, JoCo didn't have seizures a while ago, but it could be it's what three08 is referring to. I haven't really followed Steve Jobs-related stuff recently.
ETA: Ah, I didn't know about the obituary, I'll have to look that one up.
someone released an inaccurate rumor that mr jobs' ailment had returned, which caused a drop in the price of apple's shares, and i had heard noise about investigations into whether this was deliberate so that someone could buy up a bunch of shares at the reduced rate &c. mr jobs was only involved by virtue of being the object of the rumor, so i wasn't attempting to cast aspersions on his character or anything.
In case people are wondering, as I was, about JoCo's latest tweet, here's what he's referring to (posted by robgonzo in another thread but I thought I'd copy it here.)
I know you're just trying to be poplar with your pedantree, but yew should just leave it be, acacia make the same misteak some day and end up embarrassed, oakay?
Didn't mean to pick on him Angelastic, just woke in a sillier than usual mood this morning and couldn't resist an opening like that. After all, the shortest distance between two puns is a straight line!

It's okay, JoAnn, I actually don't mind at all what you did, I can cedar funny side (otherwise I wooden't have leeched your idea) I just urchintly wanted to worm 'acacia' in somehow. I wasn't trying to be a beech or anything. But I guess tree08 put an end to the silliness. Let's get back to talking about Christmas corals.
ETA: Gle3nn, it was cruel of you to lay that out as if it were a haiku. There should be a word for things like that... like nossob but for haiku instead of backwards words.
I think he looked better pre-hair cut. (coming from someone who hasn't had a hair cut in just over 2 years now and wouldn't shave if he were allowed to grow a beard (damn school.))
I agree (maybe it's just what I'm used to), but he's probably trying to go incognito over the holidays. Nobody would believe somebody so well-groomed was an internet superstar.
I think it's just post-haircut styling. (Note that it's parted on the side. Wha???) I'm guessing that tomorrow he will look more like his old self, with somewhat shorter hair. :-)

Hopefully you guys can get them to where they need to go. And I hope they got their keyboard.

I *heart* my friends so much sometimes :-)
ETA: No, wait, that would be turtlenecks.

Also: cancer scare?
Bloomburg did accidentally print a rather premature obituary for him a while back, though, which was more of what I consider a "scare."
ETA: Ah, I didn't know about the obituary, I'll have to look that one up.
and he looked gaunt at a MacWorld a few years back.
Bless you!
The good news: New song!?

Why do I always want to spell writing with two 't's, and as for the other typo, that was just me being stoopid.

but that makes even my brain leak out of my ears, just a little.
