'Out Of Gas'
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.
The European commission is warning that if a deal cannot be reached at a meeting in Tunisia next month the internet will split apart.
The internet can't split, or else George W. Bush will be using a term correctly for once, and that's reason enough for us all to get along.
msbelle, I think the proper lyrics to that start with a P and end with an enis.
Not that it's one of mr. flea's favorite novelty songs or anything.
(First typed "novelty dongs"!)
Oh, and did one of the Mars rovers get stuck again, or did I dream that?
Almost. They wrote some software upgrades that check for wheel slip and stop the automated drives if the wheels seem to be getting stuck. So the rover was able to back safely out of the tall sand dune a day or two later and keep on going.
The Mars rovers are so cute.
A woman's walking by with a large foil-covered plate. I want to mug her. I should just go get my yoghurt instead.
LORI!
I've been singing it to the tune of the "hello operator, give me #9" song, I think. Possibly the same tune as your husband's disturbing song.
Do your ears hang low?
Do they waggle to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them over your shoulder,
Like a Continental soldier?
DO YOUR EARS HANG LOW????
I think having one's eyes well up with tears of sadness or rage is different than all out crying, just as an angry tone of voice or getting a red face is different than screaming "Fuck you, I hope you die!" at some cowering assistant. I have seen too much asshat behavior toward employees (and sometimes coworkers) excused by "I can't help how I feel." Having feelings is natural and human--how you act on them is under your control most of the time.
Do your ears hang low?

Thank you, Girl Scout camp.
nobody loves me
everybody hates me
I'm gonna go eat worms
big fat juicy ones
long slim slimy ones
I'm gonna go eat worms!
So, Maya's doing the LOST party thing again next year. Weird thing? I already am getting phone calls about it, one of which was someone who told me that I could not allow someone she didn't like to purchase a ticket.
I was just reading through LJs and caught a bit of the controversy, but I still don't know what the deal is.
It just seems such an odd thing to do.
