Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

What is even happening?

Big Boss sent out an e-mail today with a bunch of new "equipment guidelines", and one of the guidelines was that we're only to visit work-related sites.

Clearly, I'm, uh, yeah. Do you think they'd believe me if I said b.org was essential to my daily activities, because without it, I'd flip out like a mammal?

I think this is an off-site Employees Assistance Program. Look at how many of your cow-orkers you have not killed, thanks to us.

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

And we could provide unhelpful answers to it.

We could think outside the box for you.

Way outside....

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Of course, I'm also not following the new guidelines

Oh, thank god. I was worried for a second.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I worked at McDonald's senior year of high school, Burger King the summer before college and at a food court deli summer after freshman year. After that, jobs related to my field of study.(Except for the period of time right after I left grad school when I worked at a magazine shop while I looked for a research job)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I've crushed on Cooper since at least World News Now.

Probably since Channel One.

Anderson Cooper Needs a Hug.

His mother is Gloria Vanderbilt and he couldn't get a job out of Yale? Dude.

Gawd, this is brilliant. [link]

Hollywood – Pat Robertson on Sunday said that Hurricane Katrina was God’s way of expressing its anger at the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for its selection of Ellen Degeneres to host this year’s Emmy Awards. “By choosing an avowed lesbian for this national event, these Hollywood elites have clearly invited God’s wrath,” Robertson said on “The 700 Club” on Sunday. “Is it any surprise that the Almighty chose to strike at Miss Degeneres’ hometown?”

And yes, it's satire, people.

Oh, thank god. I was worried for a second.

I think if they decide to have a chat with me about it, they'll get my two weeks.

First job: Babysitting neighbor kid when I was 16.

Second job: Dorm office guy for three years. Handled keys, made change, answered phones, called RAs to have them pick up baked college students or convince the guy on the third floor that Metallica isn't better at 120dB.

Any chance you could set up a webcam in advance?
