Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Thanks for all the Master/Slave alternative suggestions! I'm going to propose
Big Enchilada/Small Fries
Which I think was Corwood's?
Or, maybe just that Primary/Secondary thing. Although that doesn't seem to describe the relationship adequately. Really I'd like for my bosses to find out what term is used in the documentation that the rest of the very large organization of which we are a part produces. But that will not happen I don't think.
In other news, Bradley Cooper is hot as hell.
grumble grumble stupid javascript links that you can't link directly to grumble....
If you go to the front page of the Chicago Tribune [link] and go down a bit, on the left-ish side of the screen, they have their photos of the day. One of the photos is of a jaguar kitten! And then there's this:
A goat carrying a monkey performs a tightrope walk during a performance to mark the National Day at Nanning Zoo Monday in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. The goat, standing on a disk, moves on a steel wire about 2 meters above the ground. The performance is one of the most popular entertainments in the zoo.
That is the most awsome picture ever!!!!
All the clean hydrogen we need to power the world is already contained in crystals at the bottom of the ocean called gas hydrates.
TRUE.
It'd be nice if this was true.
It is true. The problem is safely extracting the hydrogen (mainly methane). It's mostly in a frozen slush (due to the extreme pressure of the ocean depths) that would have to be effectively "mined."
The problem is that the frozen methane, if mined incorrectly, could cause an undersea landslide, and an underwater landslide could create a tsunami.
Plus, doesn't it smell like farts?
Oh yeah, I was going to say, sara, my first massage was by an independent massage therapist I found through my insurance, and she was just great. Half of the first session was all about me working on my breathing so I could relax enough so she could work.
Oddly enough, I've never had problems relaxing while getting a massage. A few times I've almost fallen asleep, though.

It's funny to look at David Rakoff (on Daily Show). I have issues with radio people sometimes.
I thought he was cute. Too bad he's gay. Dammit!
(Cause, otherwise, I'd be in there, man!)
