You don't dance for the FBI
Lunch today started off a bit odd when the entirety of my former programming team walked into the taco shop where I sat, numbered receipt in hand, waiting for my name to be called. We all said hello and smiled at the idea that the one day we didn't plan on meeting for lunch, we had met for lunch.
We grabbed a table outside and ate for about 15 minutes until I heard Kevin ask Jesse: "Do you know that girl?" Apparently, a woman in a pink shirt was waving expectantly at our table from the entrance of the dry cleaning shop behind me. She walked back into the shop as I turned to see her. Our conversation quickly turned back to whatever a half dozen programmers talk about at lunch.
"She thinks knows one of us," Kevin cut himself off mid sentance. This time I turned quickly enough to see the tail end of a little vaudvillian dance routine the woman was performing for us.
"Maybe she thinks she's being followed by the FBI and she's being funny?" postulated one of us as she turned back into the dry cleaner's.
"Dude, you don't dance for the FBI," Kevin answered.
A few more minutes passed and we had just about finished joking about who among us could have forgotten such a spazz, when Jesse called our attention to the girl as she walked back out of the dry cleaner's and up to a group of three 50-something asian men, who -- all three -- turned and stared at us as she spoke. They continued to steal glnces at us as the woman in pink returned, once again, to the dry cleaner.
We were all at a complete loss as to what she could have to say to three older strangers about us. It would have all seemed very funny if not for what happened the next time she emerged from the doorway. This time, she had a neatly handwritten sign in her hands which she held up for us to see:
"Do not ever contact the FBI about..."
Jesse, the only one of us facing the right direction at the right time, didn't quite catch the end of the message before she spun back around and walked into the dry cleaner's for the fifth time.
I, personally, was somewhere between thrilled and spooked. Before I had a chance to figure out which way to go, the woman walked back out of the shop, this time with a friend. They both ignored us and sat down in an SUV. We wondered if she had very suddenly forgotten about us until they pulled away, the woman in the pink shirt waving to us once again from the passenger seat.
What else to do but investigate? Unable to find the three asian men who undoubtedly knew her secret, we waltzed into the dry cleaner's and tried to sound casual as we asked about "the girl with the sign." A woman at a sewing machine told us she thought that girl may have been a bit "coo-coo."
I guess I agree.

Ok I've been giving this alot of thought. Just like Lewis Black couldnt get "If it weren't for that horse, I would have never made it to college" out of his head..
Well I've come the conclusion that it is also possible that Jason is the one in the FBI and this website, and that story is nothing but a cover. What supports this idea even more so is Jays FBI georgus girlfriend. Just dont hunt me down ok guys? Those weren't halloween costumes, were they? ;) oh yeah, and happy birthday ;)

Ok, in my own defense, I have no idea what Melissa's talking about. Let me assure you that her views do not represent the views of Receptacle, Escapist Enterprises, or any affliates or subsidies thereof.

Hi Jason,
unfortunately I haven't found your e-mail on this page, therefore I decided to write here.
I'd like to mention your resource in my "Web-Dev-Bookmarks" (http://www.alvit.de/web-dev), namely, in the category "Navigation Tabs". In my opinion, the navigation menu you use in the right column is just marvellous and I hope many users would like to use it, too. May I do it - of course with a link to your web-site?
Besides, I'd like to suggest a link for your weblog and for your bookmarks - the same project "Essential bookmarks for web-designers and web-developers" (www.alvit.de/web-dev).
"Web-Dev-Bookmarks" is a list of essential web-sites, tutorials, references and examples (related to CSS Navigation Menus, CSS- & HTML-Techniques, Layouts, Accessibility, Usability, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) etc.).
The project contains over 250 resources now, the database is updated once a week, every single reference is checked and categorized by myself.
If you regard "Web-Dev-Bookmarks" as useful for you or for your visitors, I'd be glad if you had mentioned it on your page. Besides, I'd be glad to receive new links coming from your side, or from your visitors.
With warm greetings from Saarbruecken, Germany,
Vitaly Friedman

Wow, Vitaly! I'm am, of course, familiar with your list and I'd be honored to be a part of it.
In the interest of giving credit where credit's due, I should mention that I got the idea for sidebar tab boxes from Jeff Robbins' page at jjeff.com, and the code that I used is a modified version of Gavin Kistner's Tabtastic.
Thanks so much for taking the time to say hello!
