iamcal.com Since May 2000

Good afternoon. First I would like to assure you all that my name does in fact use capital letters. I will also inform you that Cal and I share the same Grandparents, and that's how I know him. I am currently trying to figure how to change the title of this site to 'iammatt'. Today I will post part a MSM conversation I had with fellow regular [Sal](http://www.iamcal.com/profile.php?id=2) last night (this is from memory, so apologies to Sal if it's not quite correct). Squirrell:I've got to go - NTHMY. Squirrell:Ahem - Nice To Have Met You. Sally:Ah - silly internet acronyms. Squirrell:I'm getting sad like that - the other day I said "Lol" in the pub quite loudly. Sally:Ah, I can be worse than that. Sally:I woke up one morning, opened my wardrobe and thought "Now where is that link to my skirt?" Sally:Damnit. Squirrell:I spent several seconds whilst painting a wall waiting for my brain to inform me why I couldn't find the 'Fill' tool... Sally:We're just sad, aren't we?

I'm going on holiday for two weeks!

Whilst i'm gone, iamcal regular matt squirrell will be updating the weblog and looking after the site.

Hello Cal Fans, Squirrell100 here, typing away because Cal is busy, or something.

Today I would like to draw your attention to this Garfield comic strip which I found very amusing.

This guy has made Dilbert characters out of lego.

Finally, laugh heartily at Dean and Nigel who, although they have been around for ages, are still 'blending in' with members of the British public.

See ya!

iamcal.com sms roundup: Sul: Did you know they dont use nails in a lesbian's coffin? Its all tounge and groove! boom boom Cal MacKendrick: Hi Cal, besides both being PHP tinkers, we share the same moniker - in fact, MacKendrick is the scotticized version of Henderson (same tartan and everything!) even if Cal Henderson isn't your real name - I think we should avoid meeting - lest any accidental contact result in a matter/anti-matter collision - thus destroying the solar system. Regards, Cal. globaljen: calski! nice 1 on the degree mate! well done u! jenx Sul: what goes "OOOOOooooooo"? A cow with no lips! anysaver@dgolds.com: brit sites are immature

Our very own Sul wrote a song about permalinking:

I almost forgot about my rather ace conversation with a train guy on friday night. it goes something like this:

cal: what's going on? man: nothing c: why are there so many people here? m: oh, because some trains are delayed c: so is the 18:55 going to be delayed? m: let me see...no, it's on time c: is that it over on platform 2? m: oh no, that's the 18:25 c: so the 18:55 isn't in yet? m: no c: but it'll be on time? m: yes c: it takes about 20 minutes for a train to be cleaned once it's come in, right? m: yes, 15 to 20 minutes c: then about 5-10 minutes for people to board? m: yes c: and it's now 18:45? m: yes c: and the 18:55 hasn't arrived yet? m: yes c: but it wont be late? m: no cal leaves to use other train line

There are alot of lines in "Downloading Porn With Davo" (Moldy Peaches) that i didn't get. Aparently that's because it's filled with in-jokes. Quite like this site really.

Kimya Dawson from the moldy peaches has a blog/journal. She sings on Ben Kwellers albums too. Neat crossover huh?
