The Supreme Court agreed to hear the case without awaiting the opinion of the new chief justice.
That's because his opinion doesn't matter. False insinuations about the meaning of the cert-granting process are irritating.
Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Fire? Like, office in flames fire? I've had bad days, but not days that bad.
Well, not the office. I drove past two on the way into work this morning (one brush fire, the other looked like a building fire). And emergency helicopters are now flying overhead on their way to a plume of white smoke further west.
It is not only fall (three rain showers in the past week), but fire season.

Is the new officemate going to resent me because my decorating scheme is "piles" while his appears to be nice pictures, organized bulletin board and white board and a bunch of those despair.com tchotchkes?
No, they'll resent you for other reasons.
Does Wayne Brady have to choke a bitch?
God, yes.

It's cause I'm sitting by the window, isn't it?!
(actually, it's kind of pathetic. Being the minimalist I am, officewise, I take up only 1/4 of the space. Despite being here first, it looks like I'm camping in his office.)

What is even happening?

He'll likely act as though he does, but secretly, you'll make him ecstatically happy, as you feed his feelings of superiority.

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

uh, where could I get all the LOTR figurines in chocolate. You *know* if this were available online, it would absolutely sell out.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm so broken by the Secret Diaries that I'd want Merry and Pipin to have carrots.

I admit, I've never seen the ad, but couldn't they have developed a better cover story? No, I guess this is more fun.
The National Hockey League's return to television is getting some unexpected free publicity thanks to a controversy generated by Martha Burk, chairman of the National Council of Women's Organizations. Burk has objected to a an NHL promotional spot in which a bare-chested hockey player is dressed by a scantily clad woman. The spot, which Burk describes as "offensive" to women, is part of the "More Entertainment! More Passion! More Hockey!" campaign developed to promote the league prior to its season opener on Oct. 5. An NHL spokeswoman commented, "This ad is very respectful of women. The woman [dressing the player] is a spiritual and physical trainer for the warrior, and his mentor."
