So accomodating. So rub-it-inny.

Of course, I neglected to mention that the reason I dragged myself into work today is because I'm flying to Atlanta on Thursday, and I shall spend the weekend drinking caipirinhas and encouraging Dana to lick Jamie Bamber.

Better than a lemon square, I'm just saying.

I will spend the weekend being encouraged.

Edit: And also possibly doing some drinking.

“I said, ‘Oh, I know why you’re upset,’” Senko said of her son, a New Orleans Saints fan. “He said, ‘No…Arabi is under water…your house is underwater.’”

Oy. But it looks like it's weirdly neighborhood by neighborhood in an odd patchwork, depending on where the pumps failed (9th ward) or where the levee was breached (Kenner). I don't know why Chalmette is under water though.

she's a secret kick-boxer. The actress admits that although she loves her high-energy passion, she's not very good.

I see I'm not the only one who keeps secrets by broadcasting them on IMDb.

ION, I want your lemon square.

I thought you were teetotal, Dana?

I want your lemon square.

Salt-loving freak.

Dana, please lick Jamie, will you?

I thought you were teetotal, Dana?

It's been an interesting year.

Dana, please lick Jamie, will you?

I'm weighing it against the possibility of jail time.

No, not for the salt! God, I hate salt. I want a lemon square.

It's been an interesting year.

That's for damn sure.

That overpass is right by my parents' house.

Well, fuck. Hope they still have a house when they get back.

Aha. They are so cool, they do not need a 4th call letter.

There are a surprising number of radio stations that have held onto their three-letter callsigns all these years. KGO, KOA, WLS, WKY, WSM, WSB, KVI....

TV stations were allowed to use three-letter signs so long as they were owned by a radio station with a three-letter callsign. However, when the ownership of radio and TV station split, the TV station has to get new call letters. Thus, KOA-TV in Denver became KCNC, WKY-TV in Oklahoma City became KFOR, etc.

The three-letter call signs were usually initials or short for a slogan. WLS stood for "World's Largest Store," being that they were originally owned by Sears. WSM stood for "We Shield Millions," the slogan for the insurance company that owned the station.

Anyway, I can't remember what the two W's in WWL stand for, but the L stands for Loyola, the university that ran the station initially.

Hi, DW, by the way. Do you know it took me like an hour of "DW" posts to figure out that you were not "dear wife" or some other cheeky nickname? I am slow at that sort of thing.

I sign nearly everything dw now; I started doing that on e-mails six years ago and it kinda stuck. And it makes more sense than the reversed Dylan W I use for my e-mail.

And I ain't no wife. I have so much testosterone the hair on my head never had a chance.

For the record, I have no firsthand knowledge of the noodliness or lack thereof of any of Dylan's appendages.

Can we keep it that way? Thanks.
