"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

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.

I see they're now marketing ads to recapture me specifically as a viewer.

The tradition was started by former Iowa coach Hayden Fry, a psychology major who said pink had a calming and passive effect on people.

Actually the mood/color studies I've seen have implied that long-term exposure to an all pink environment causes unrest and emotional upset. Not so good a decorating choice for sanitariums, as it turns out...

Yeah, I though powder blue was the calming color they liked to paint in hospitals and psych wards.

Would explain why the salespeople at VS around here always seemed so cranky. Won't even go in there any longer.

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.

So I picked the exact wrong time to walk over to the other building to change the backup tape as it's decided to rain. I get to spend the rest of my time at work soaked. Whee.

That explains why I find the Circus Circus casino so disturbing.

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 forgot my umbrella today, even though I checked the local news and noted that it was supposed to rain this afternoon, and I got my umbrella out and put it by the door so I wouldn't forget it....

So, do I walk 20 minutes to the train station, or do I try to find a rain-free place to wait for a bus....

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Today was the anti-treat day. I am responsible for creating a document that tracks all activities with every client. WAH!

Of course it is in Excel, and as of right now it is twpo printed pages for the first client only. 5-6 more clients to go. I hates it.

Looking at the radar, seems half the state as well as the better part of WI is getting wet. I wished I'd thought to check the weather this morning. I was really missing my coat and hat, and will likely still do so when I leave and when I stop at the comic shop on the way home.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I got champagne and cake. Treat!

I feel like ass. My ears are bothering me, but I promised to get something done today that I really doubt I can finish.

Can I go home?
