October 17th 2008: Okham (again!) for "Yeah sure.... that's how you wake up one day with GWB for president. It's gonna be the eight years from hell, but, hey, at least you did not compromise your ideals and proudly gave your vote to Nader..."
October 24th 2008: ScientistMother for "Chall - I have read your blog and comments you have left various places. I was hoping we could be friends, but your support of the leafs prevents that from happening".

October 31st 2008: Ruchi for "I don't understand what is so awesome exactly about being in the presence of God. Intellectually, I understand that it's like being in the presence of Barack Obama only better, but emotionally, I just don't get it."

November 24th 2008: Crystal for "i have a mac and i love it, but, like you, my only real reason is "because it's cooler" so yeah. i mean, being cool is good i guess? right?

November 28th 2008: Ruchi for "I can't be too sad because I'm inappropriately drunk for whatever time it is in Vancouver. Damn times zones making me out to be a lush when I'm not! I swear I'm not!!!"
and ScientistMother for "You totally HAVE to have children! Only b/c then I won't be jealous of you being a DINK. haha. [...] Oh and the no sushi for 10 months was utter and complete HELL. BIL#2 was told that he was not allowed to come to the hospital to see his new nephew w/o sushi.
December 5th 2008: Hermitage for "Through lots of intensive study, I and other labmates have discerned that lab mice are a big fan of Jamba Juice. And getting sugar spaz highs. Anything is possible in this crazy world."

Dr. J for "Yes, it will be nice to see the back of GWB. Harpoon I'm not so sure we will be so lucky, he seemed quite emboldened by failing to win the last election again."
and finally Chall for "I will however say that part of my annoyment (anger) was the fact that ther swedes did not seem to be able to shoot at goal in the first period and to fail to make a goal (after finding it and shooting at it more than 23 times in the second) even when in silly amounts of power play. I guess that is the main reason though?! They failed to actually put the puck in the goal. which is, kind of obviously, important for winning.....
