Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Or is it no big deal if we just pay it?

IME, this is the case. (Though I read somewhere that the IRS is starting to go after little money cases more seriously, because the cumulative effect of people with low-middle incomes shrugging and saying, "Eh, I don't make enough for them to notice," turns out to be a fairly huge chunk of change, so you'll probably want to pay it in a relatively timely manner.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, we'll cheerfully pay it when we file.

If I only had a brain...

I had one once because of contracting; paid it, never had a problem again.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

That's what I did! See, I moved the education to the bottom when I thought people wouldn't really care about my degree anymore, professionally. But now it matters again, I guess.

Yup. My general rule as a resume writer is that if you're currently in school at any level or are less than three years out, education goes on top.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

But I'm dying of curiosity. How does one get a cast attached to one's nose? Is it actually plaster, or is it more like bandages? Are the other kids impressed? Do they sign nose casts, or just arms and legs? Are nose ones colored, like most other ones now, or white?

It's a regular white plaster cast. It's shaped to the nose. There's tape in the cast, and tape on top of the cast. It's just taped down on to the cheeks, which worked pretty well until Monday morning. Since then we've been picking it up and taping it back on every two minutes. The kids at the school were staring at him - a little more gawking than admiring. No signing the cast since putting pressure on the nose is counter productive to the healing. Also, very little space.

I'm so tickled that you're saving the cast.

I'm thinking maybe a shadowbox with a little old fashioned typed up scientific type tag, except saying, "Emmett broke his nose March 23, 2005. He was a trooper." Emmett wants black velvet backing.

I am BORED BORED BORED with the deadness of the Pope. This is as bad as the late Princess of Wales, the page after page of after-coverage that adds no new information.

It isn't that the death of the Pope wasn't news; it is. But the space between the death of the Pope and funeral services for the Pope is a minor news event, or should be.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I am BORED BORED BORED with the deadness of the Pope.

Yeah, it's pretty boring. He just seems to lay there....

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Betsy, I get the feeling they're treading water until the election of the new Pope.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm pretty much BORED BORED BORED with all nonstop blanket coverage, for just that reason. Something actually newsworthy happens -- and then for a long time, doesn't. Shut up in between, people.
