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 got stupid. The money was too good.

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

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. @@

If I only had a brain...
Huh. Every place I've ever worked let you use up the old stationery until the new stuff came in.
Maybe stick blank mailing labels over the old logo on the envelope?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Kalshane, do you get collision insurance coverage? It's probably not worth it if your car is worth, say, less than $3,000.
I bought a GM-certified used car and am still paying for it, so I definitely want the collision coverage. I didn't want to play beater roullette again at this point in my life. I realize having the better car is logically going to raise my rates somewhat, but not 150%.
I'm mostly just annoyed that apparently there's some previously unheard-of report that insurance companies use that says very bad things about me and I have to wait two weeks to find out what those things are. (And said report is getting me declined or forcing me to pay ridiculous amounts of money.)

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'll do you one better. Why on earth would a large corporation roll out a meticulously designed new website structure, before user-testing it to see where the bugs are?
Answer: institutions tend to lose brain cells as they gain mass.

Why are they all SO LAME?!?
Fucking jokers.
The problem with the old envelopes is they are Manilla, so putting a white label over that is terrible. And the new logo thing is long, not square. Anyway.
