I used the same JMC t-shirt (2001) to dye my hair once. Come to think of it, what ever happened to mine remains a mystery.

I'm sorry to hear about your car, though. I suppose it has a world of oil induced anxiety to tend to.

I'm impressed you remembered which t-shirt it was. I couldn't remember even owning it before yesterday. In fact, I don't remember even seeing another JMC student ever wear it before.

Well, I got the shirt from a JMC student of that year who hated the program (and ultimately transfered to Wayne State). I still wear it occasionally. I have no idea what became of the class of 2000 shirt, but I have a sneaking supsicion I might have it laying about my parent's home, inspiring quote and all. But what can I say, I aim to impress.

Have they always made JMC shirts? Or am I just blind to the world around me? I guess I've never noticed them before...

Hmm... and here I thought tossing a coin was the only way to decide whether to use "that" or "which". ;) Reminds me of the lecture I got yesterday from a customer about when to use "fewer" and when to use "less".

Board games are awesome.

A coin toss would have certainly been more efficient, but then I'd have no justification for lecturing strangers on the proper use of "that" and "which". ;)

And yeah... board games are awesome.

Sorry about the randomness of that "board games are awesome" observation, but I just couldn't think of anything else to say about them. Well, except to brag that I recently spent about three days playing them and not doing much else... but I figured that wouldn't be too helpful. ;)

You'll have to explain the "that" vs. "which" thing to me some day. I'm not too clear on the rules, and it'll be much quicker than looking it up myself.

No need to apologize; your observation summed up all anyone ever really needs to say about board games. I was simply agreeing with it.

The rules of "that" vs. "which" are actually not that difficult to remember: just use the one that sounds right. Although, in theory, "that" is meant to work with a specific noun and "which" is more general... wait, I think I have this wrong... that is meant to specify which thing it is and "which" is meant to describe a particular thing... maybe this is more complicated than I thought... I'll get back to you on it
