GorillaMask.net has Budweiser's banned Super Bowl commercial. I mean, I'd watch it just 'cause it says "banned," but I thought it was amusing.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

SA, are you posting from your native timezone again? Because if so, welcome home!

I am! Back in EST. Thanks. :) It's nice to be back. How are you?

How are you?
Um, not here. In the middle of between-semesters craziness (exams and papers and the like. But no more grading, because I've finished them last night this morning).
Are you jet-lagged? Your trip back is supposed to be the easier side of the jet lag (it is to most people. With me, of course, it was the other way around).

I seem to be doing okay with jet-lag so far. I stayed up until past ten here, which is supposed to help reset your clock, and I woke up about an hour ago, at seven-thirty. So that's a reasonable nine hours of sleep, and I woke up of my own volition at an okay time. So I think I'll be fine.
Classes start Thursday for me. It's Tuesday, for chrissakes. Sigh.

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

Snerk.

That commercial is hysterical. I can't see any reason to ban it. Duh.
Ok, that's so something I had missed in nearly 30 years, despite hearing many many stories of my dad's mystification at his car being called a cahmengear and various other NE-ese stories. And knowing my dad grew up without Js.
sarameg, your dad grew up without Js. Huh?
Nilly! Are you all better, now?

He grew up in a swedish recent-immigrant community. They don't have Js. He didn't really notice he didn't have most Js until he moved to CA for college. "Yust a minute."
My grandfather was so funny when he learned what they named my brother. "Yoshua? Why are you naming him something I can't say?! Yoshua! "
I also find it very amusing to imagine my dad with a swedish accent.

What is even happening?
Heh. And given it's a Hebrew name and I don't think Hebrew had the J sound, Yoshua is not only funny, it's slightly more historically correct. I think it's so funny anyhow, that English used J for the Greek I which was put in for the Hebrew Y (yod?), but might be making my own fun, here.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
My getting to work earlier lasted only one day, today I could not manage it. I even failed to get breakfast. bah.
I did however remember to dress for the overheated office. I am wearing an outfit I'd normally wear in early fall. Thin poly skirt and jacket, short sleeve shirt and only one pair of tights (through most of the winter I wear 2). I froze on the walk in, but will not be sweating during the day. My guess is I'll be sick with a cold by the end of the week because of the funky temperatures in my environments.
