Addedum: I could not tell you if "Bruins" had to do with baseball, basketball, or hockey.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Go ahead. Dress your snot up in your beguiling adjectives.
Gus is channelling Smoove B. As usual.

Dang, again. If I had some idea of who Smoove B is, I would be flattered, or offended, or something.

I am unashamed to admit that I googled. The fact that [link] is named "Gusworld" only disturbes me a little.

Going back more than a bit... Rome's historical accuracy is on a par with Deadwood's.
Which is to say: They ain't accurate.
As a SF-genre dude, this does not disturb me. I can soak up a setting quickly, attending only to its explicitly stated constraints.

MY Bruins are still desperately trying to assemble a team and get it into playing shape now that the lockout is over. No idea how the similarly named teams that have actually been doing their jobs the last year are.

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

Poking head to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Polter-Cow's birthday. Happy birthday, P-C! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
It's also Herah's birthday. I hadn't seen her posts in forever, but I hope the well-wishes will find their way to her, somehow.

Hi Nilly!
I don't think P-C hangs out in Natter these days, but he'd probably see birthday wishes in Bitches.

I need to solicit an "Amen." If you have ever stared at a piece of code you wrote and gone: "What the frack does that mean?", give me an "Amen."
Lordy yes! Back when I used to (pretend to) code for a living, I would get into the Coding Zone. The next day or so I'd look at my code and think, "This is either absolutely frelling brilliant, or it's spaghetti. And I don't know which."
Random things about the federal response to Katrina: the FEMA rank-and-file (and other responders) were just operating on last-known-good orders. Some people had been told to drive trucks of water there, others had been told to stop trucks. In a crisis, people will stick to what they've been trained to do. Unless there is leadership.
This is where that asshat in charge of FEMA really failed, and by extension, the administration that put him in charge.
