Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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

OK, here's a phrase you don't want to hear anywhere outside of a horror moivie:

Plague-infected lab mice missing in New Jersey

NEWARK, N.J. - Three mice infected with the bacteria responsible for bubonic plague apparently disappeared from a laboratory about two weeks ago, and authorities launched a search though health experts said there was scant public risk.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

On Wednesday, Clark was pinch-hitting for the Giants in the ninth inning of his first big-league game.

Oh, that is so sweet. Boston just had our 4th OF go down with a bad Achilles', so Adam Hyzdu, a AAA lifer, is getting that call today. Probably already has. I can see him dancing on the T on his way in to Fenway.

(I don't know what his offseason day job is, but with four kids, he surely has one.)

My brother has all sorts of horrifying lab stories. Of all of them, the accidental immortal mold ones amuse me the most.

Also, the lack of signage in the labs. Some of the work done there makes people so touchy (and the crazies, crazier) that they don't actually put signs up indicating that what it is a lab for, and sometimes, not even an indication that it is a lab, for fear of sabotage.

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

Was the mold sentient?

Current NASA plans (to be revealed Friday/Monday) call for astronauts to land on the moon in 2018. Then, maybe.... Moonbase!

eta: If it happens then, it'll be 46 years after the last moon landing.

I dunno. They had a helluva time killing it, though.

What is even happening?

Was the mold sentient?

That depends on what was is.

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

And then, eventually... Moonchild!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK. Here's a question for you. Why on earth would a large institution roll out a meticulously designed (if mock-worthy) new "brand" "image" before making sure that all the departments had all the supplies they needed. I have stuff to mail, but I can't, because the only envelopes we have with the new logo are #10s. So someone's going to have to go to Staples to buy plain white envelopes. @@
