adobe acrobat, get over yourself.

from the support forums, I have looked this answer up about 20 times in hopes that it has changed:

Q. Can I save Adobe PDF forms in Adobe Reader after I have filled out a PDF form?

A. Yes, provided your form has had the "local save" capability turned on with Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions. Team members both inside and outside an organization have access to and can interact with forms. You can easily open, fill out and submit PDF forms, even from handheld devices and over wireless connections. However, if the "local save" capability has not been activated in your PDF form, you will not be able to save the form data with Adobe Reader.


Q. (@Adobe): Did you really feel that was a sufficient and suitable answer to this question. Just make it goddamn free and built-in already!

how to eat leftover crabs

  • Step 1: don't share.
    seriously, if you want to enjoy traditional overindulgence, you can't be rationing.
  • Step 2: prepare the area.
    Get your butter knife, crate and barrel catalog, paper towels and paper plates. Also grab Disc 7 of the biography of Charles Shulz. Start the cd and make sure the volume is audible over shell-smashing. Pour the WHITE WINE!
  • Step 3: nuke the crabs.
    place crabs (two at a time) in the microwave. Do not exceed more than a minute, because apparently they can explode.
  • Step 4: Enjoy.
    You can either knife through everything like a fisherman, or you can savor through each and every nooks and crannies like a true scavenger. I opt for the latter.
    scavenger note: its good to put the finished shells and stuff on the paper plate as the crate and barrel ink on coated paper can't hold up to the crab juice and you will have a $600 coffee table on your back fin (I believe thats the big claw name).
  • Step 5: clean up.
    throw all the trash in a plastic bag and be sure not to put it out for trash until trash day. Rats love this stuff, and we don't want them to choke on no bones. Fruitlessly wash your hands.
  • Step 6: dessert.
    eat 2 blue bunny neopolitan ice cream sandwiches in rapid succession.
Friends, next time I hope to share the crabbing portion of these instructions. For now, I leave you with "bull lips". Back to school work.

Notes from atop the tv

From atop my mid 90's swivel magnabox, things were lookin pretty good.
Things you can't do when your rich.

What can I say, people don't like to hear others go on about their time off and how relaaaxxxing it was. Even if they are just at home free in an utterly blissful reclusiveful state.

I was going to fill you in on temporary vehicle # 3 and its radio qualities, but blogspot has got a 2" margin from the cursor mark and where the cursor is, and I am just not having it for editorial sake. good-BYE!
