I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

(Is the Theismann play the broken-leg one? 'Cause, ugh.)

Timelies. Poor Emmett! May his ENT be as kick-ass as mine.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Yes. Basically, if you depend on your legs for your job, don't let Laurence Taylor sit down on your lap. That goes double if he leaps into your lap at 30 mph. IIRC, it was a compound fracture, too.

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

Anyone familiar with Michelle Delio? She's a freelance writer - if you google her you'll see tons of articles she's written.

From Wired:

A Note to Readers
In light of TechnologyReview.com's recent retraction of two stories by freelance writer Michelle Delio, we are reviewing articles written by her for Wired News. We have assigned Adam Penenberg, a journalism professor at New York University who writes a media column for Wired News, to conduct the review.

From technologyreview.com:

Technology Review, Inc. cannot vouch for the accuracy of "Carly's Way," by Michelle Delio, published online on March 4, 2005. Nor can we stand by "Carly's Gone. HP Celebrates," also by Delio, published online on February 10, 2005. We regret publishing the stories.

Details on the retraction: [link]

The “Carly’s Way” story was an “as told to” from the perspective of a former engineer and was billed this way: “A former Hewlett-Packard engineer tells his version of how Carly Fiorina, HP's ousted CEO, wrecked the company's greatest asset: its labs.”

Hmmm... this stuff fascinates me.

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

Is the Theismann play the broken-leg one?

Yuppers.

Or what Nutty said.

Yep and yep.

Do I remember correctly that LT knew immediately that something very wrong had happened and got everybody's attention?

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

When we had some mice a couple months ago, Tom caught them with the top of a stainless steel wok top, slid a thin piece of cardboard underneath, and let the mice go outside. Stealthy, my husband is.

We think they were new mice and disoriented to the layout, which was what made them easier to catch. Hopefully they will stay away, because of the tall dude with the stainless steel cage. They can curse our first floor neighbors who I don't like so much anyway.

There's some stuff about this issue that just got pulled off my university's website.

Was it based on the stuff that Michelle Delio wrote? Or is it unrelated to her?
