True, that scenario would be a pretty good fad to start Hollywood on.
Tara: That was funny if you've studied Taglarin mystic rites and... are a total dork... Riley: Then how come Xander didn't laugh?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I want the celebrities to have a big pissing contest about who gives the most, and then all give 'til it hurts.
Me too. And honestly, my first reaction to reading about Bullock was, "She's still got an extra million? Good for her, man."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"She's still got an extra million? Good for her, man."
And it's not even the first million she's donated to charity! I'm totally seeing her next movie.

Laugh it up, wee fist lady. Laugh it up.
So a co-worker (of whom I have too many) just started a joke with "So, a pig and a chicken cross a road..." And then he went back to work.
Does anyone know (as opposed to "find themselves able to make up") that joke? I have to give him extra clever points if I think he was tossing out a fake joke lead-in.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Maybe it's a penis in a cup.
And again, the first thing that sprang to my mind was the pubic hair comments.
There's a pimp fair?
Well, it's more of a convention, really.
The exempt/non exempt issue doesn't have much to do with hourly vs salaried-- it's about your job duties. Federally, more people are now considered exempt under Bush's regulations than they were under Clinton's, but in California, the basic assumption is that you are non-exempt.

The Renaissance Pimpe Faire!
I shudder.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Renaissance Pimpe Faire!
But I bet the Renaissance pimps had extra extra-colorful costumes.

Huh. I'd been going with a definition like about.com's:
Non-exempt employees receive hourly wages; they are subject to wage and hour laws, i.e. overtime pay; usually applies to non-professional employees.
Do you have a link to the strict definition, Lee?

The view out my window five minutes ago. This is why a tree branch fell from forty feet up and landed next to my car. Plus which it got up to a whopping 23 degrees today. If this doesn't clear off by Friday afternoon in time for my flight to New York, well, I'll probably pout.

ita's co-workers are the best ever. They may have all decided to say things to you and then just walk off without reaching a conclusion - BRILLIANT!
I will laugh it up like the rest of the normally sized people with normal sized hands thankyouverymuch.
