Was that an offer to share?
If I could open my eyes all the way, I'd glare at you menacingly, but for now I'll just have to settle for a vaguely malevolent squint.
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

If you're wondering about this little bit of the press conference last night:
I hope we can get an asbestos reform bill out of both the House and the Senate. There are some positive noises on Capitol Hill as to whether or not we can get an asbestos reform bill. That will be an important reform in order to make sure that our economy continues to grow.
Bear in mind that while Cheney was CEO of Halliburton, Halliburton bought a company named Dressor that has a very large liability in asbestos lawsuits.

Yeah, the funny thing is he left Halliburton in largely the same shape they're fixing to leave the economy in general. Short-term thinking with huge long-term implications.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I was asking my flatmate about that. Isn't asbestos already outlawed and lawsuitworthy and all that? Why reform what's already -- oh.

I need to work. Sigh.
But I did discover there is a neighborhood nearby named Hoes Heights. This amuses me.

Mm. My Chinese food has arrived and I am gleefully blowing away data on the servers. Under orders, even, because as my boss passed my desk on his way to lunch, he urged me to, "Delete! Delete! Delete!"

Watched Toy Story. I keep forgetting the Joss has writing credit for that. I can see him writing the bit where Mr. Potato Head pulls off his lips and touches his butt to mock an ass-kissing toy.
According to the commentary, he also wrote a bit where Mr. Potato Head slips one of his eyes under Bo-Peep's skirt. It was cut for TS1, but was the inspiration for the scene in TS2 when they use his eye to check out the toy collector's room from the air duct before rescuing Woody.

I spent two weeks in a pit of asbestos earlier this year. Ah, what a glamorous life I lead.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
When I was in middle school, they were doing a whole lot of renovations on the school, and had to remove the asbestos from the walls they were working with. It was one of the worst-run things I've ever seen. There were some tarps taped over the entrances to the construction zones, but there were always clouds of dust coming up from behind them. I think that every kid in our school with asthma ended up in the ER at least twice that year.
