Kat, I don't have one. Yet. I totally share Lori's want for one, but I have yet to come up with a valid reason for buying one. Yet.
Ya know, if I decided to put a skylight in the bathroom, I'd need a sawz-all for that. Hmmm...
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

You could only kill a very, very slow person with a caulking gun.
Well, it would've given Giles another option when he offed Ben.

otherwise, all it does is prove yes, my front door is hung off-kilter, as are most of the doors in the house.
I remember seeing something in a small-town police report once (I can't remember whether this was in the newspaper in my small town or in some compilation of stuff like that) where a woman called the police to report that, when she went out, someone was breaking into her house and rehanging her doors in a crooked manner.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Amazingly, the drive home was fairly easy, given that there was ACTUAL! SNOW! on the ground.(Granted most of the roads were plowed, but considering the "driving skills" shown by many DC-area drivers, a bad commute was not out of the question)

This has been my hang-up. So far.

The suicide pic is disturbing. But if this is true, it may not be all bad:
"I'm not sure if you are aware of this,'' he added, "but on several occasions during the year, my crew and I were the first callers to the bridge patrol offices when we saw these events begin to unfold."
It makes me wonder how long they waited before making those calls.
Ugh, the whole thing is creepy.

DX, what exactly does a saws-all do?
JenP - Jan 19, 2005 1:06:26 pm PST #8203 of 10002
Hmm, yeah, the rotary saw (thanks, DX) wouldn't be my first choice, I don't think. Is the circular saw the one the villains use when they tie the hero to a moving belt that moves ceaselessly toward the big, round, whirring blade? Or is that a buzz saw. Clearly, I do not know my saws.
Snowed here. No big. Couple of minor accidents on I-95, but I don't think any serious injuries.
Hee, I just saw an ad for S1 of McGuyver. Young. He was so young.

Aaaand, the inaguration fireworks just started. That sound totally freaked me out until I realized what it was. (I'm about 6 blocks away, and it's way louder than the garbage trucks directly outside my window usually are.)

Yeah, I just don't know about that bridge thing. I mean, I could see how someone could seriously do something like that with non-icky intentions, but the opposite is also pretty easy to imagine. I just don't know how you tell which this guy is in advance.
I found this part more than a little disturbing, though, too:
Still, "we are a public facility," bridge spokeswoman Currie said. "So his request will be handled accordingly. But now there's the question of what else might he be misrepresenting.''
"What else did he film?'' added board member Brown. "The underside of the bridge? The security patrols?"
What appears to me to be an attempt to drive her point home by making vague allusions to terrorist threats really skeeves me.
