HR hasn't sent out a "The office is closing at 1 due to the holiday weekend" email yet, and I'm starting to get worried. I've been working under the assumption that we were closing early today, and if I have to stick around until 6, I'm going to be pissed.
Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Will the wonders of science never cease?
Taking a cue from technology that looks to biological systems for inspiration, Hertz has constructed a three-wheeled robotic vehicle that lets a Madagascan hissing cockroach navigate a room while perched atop a ping-pong ball.
Also, do Madagascan hissing cockroaches really hiss? What does it sound like? Is it loud?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Crap. I was hoping to hear from my freelance client, because I wasn't sure if she wanted me to come to her office to pick stuff up today. But it takes an hour to get there, and it's the Friday before a long weekend, and I'm thinking it might already be too late. Bah. Bye-bye, money.

Also, does billytea's expertise extend to the insect kingdom?

Sweet! Now we just need to make tiny bottles of Jack Daniels so they can all get drunk and kill each other in crashes.
Sorry Cindy, I jumped to the end of the thread to post it as soon as I read it, and must have missed your link while scrolling down the page.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
From your very own link, tommyrot:
their tendency to hiss when they are upset lets him know if it's time to give one a break from playing Dale Earnhardt.
Heh. The new model doesn't "blow up as much". Progress!

The BBC has announced that it's going to be ceasing to host it's Cult TV Repository
I've checked it out a few times for Buffy and Angel stuff - it's a cool site. Sadly, it'll be gone in two weeks.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Also, do Madagascan hissing cockroaches really hiss? What does it sound like? Is it loud?
They do indeed, unusual for an insect. They expel air through holes along their abdomens to create the sound. It's used as competitive behaviour between males during mating season, the louder roach is going to be the bigger and stronger too. More energy efficient than actually throwing down. They also hiss when feeling threatened, which would certainly be rather startling if you weren't expecting it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Is there any known method to get my kid to talk about things other than baseball, from time to time?
Teach him to type and he can IM with me.
