"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

This one threw me because I was expecting German dystopia, and got superheroes.

And really, with Seth it probably could have gone either way. Though I suspect that superhero action figures are easier to find.

Heh, Metropolis action figures would be right up there with the "My Dinner With Andre" action figures.

But that's OK, because he sucks.

He's the Sub-Submariner.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

because apparently helping people does not fall under his purview as help desk guy.

This reminds me of a story from work. We were trying to get a computer hooked up and called the help desk to send someone down to help. Someone comes down and needs someone to turn something on, so he makes a call.
Guy: yeah, I need someone to flibberty flobbet.
Speakerphone, snottily: did you call the help desk?
Guy: I AM THE HELP DESK!

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

Metropolis action figures

Isn't that pretty much what Oscars are?

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I think I'd OD on caffeine before I ever reached a point where I'd consumed enough.

Mostly I was thinking that I needed a little less gronk to parlay anything into porn successfully. Worry not, though; today I am stuck in a persistent state of gronk.

It's for a job I'm not sure I want, least of all because I didn't catch the company name when she called me to set it up yesterday.

People call me up every day, tell me their names and where they work and that so-and-so gave them my number, and I always forget it two seconds later. It's like hysterical short-term memory loss, or possibly like my ears think I'm in a Charlie Brown cartoon.

Art Crawl!!!

Yes, Project Greenlight is on Thursdays now.

Good luck with the interview Dana!

Congratulations on passing the ethics exam, Stephanie!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It's like hysterical short-term memory loss, or possibly like my ears think I'm in a Charlie Brown cartoon.

I think part of it is that I'm always expecting these calls at home to be a telemarketer, so I don't really care who they're harassing me on behalf of. By the time my brain catches up, it's too late.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

good luck Dana.

Jesse - I cannot be trusted with food questions like that. I tend to eat things unless they smell or have visible mold. I have also given myself food poisoning 3 times.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have also given myself food poisoning 3 times.

Har. Sorry. Heh.

Of course, now I can't decide if my tummy feels funny due to bad food or just because I have to get dressed now for an interview.

What is even happening?

Jesse, I always live by "When in doubt, throw it out," because I would pay whatever the food cost (times 10), not to get sick.

That said, you've already eaten this. So, I wouldn't worry about it. I would also drink the hottest tea I could find, not founded on any scientific theory, but rather upon a firm--albeit vaguely defined--theory, that it couldn't hurt, and might help. And no, I don't know why, except it's tea! It's tea! It's tea, and it's made with boiling water, and something good might come of it.
