Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think it may have been that our expectations were too high, because my friend and I fully expected it to be our FAVORITE MOVIE EVAR!!!11!! but all the best parts were in the ads. Bah, I say, BAH.

Yeah, it's very disappointing. Particularly after seeing the live action Tick, or the Venture Brothers and knowing you can actually pull that stuff off with major funny. So much comic talent wasted in that movie.

Oh, ha. It looks like the situation between my site and another site has deterioriated to the point where my bosses have selected a point-person to deal with all incoming requests. I think they think we're a bunch of incompetent slackers, and we think they're a bunch of high-strung, strident morons.
I mean, I'll still end up having to do the same work, but I just got a kick out of laughing at the new point-person's expense, for now he gets to parse their e-mail text, poor boo.
Edited because, heh, Raquel quoted too fast.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Exactly. This is the kind of conflict that can only be solved with a toga party.

Learn from the people you've worked with in the past and make their methods your own. Give the other site the work as fast as you can put it together, as wrong as possible—so as to cause them the greatest amount of delay in untangling it and figuring out what needs to be corrected.

Did someone say the Schiavo thing was over? Pandagon ( [link] ) seems to think otherwise:
On CSPAN this morning, Chuck Todd of the Hotline reported that Tom Coburn (Senatorial Nutjob - OK) is challenging the Terri Schaivo autopsy results.
