wait - perkins - you can be on the mailing list where they talk about freebies... and new food....mmm...
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

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.

I think you're right, beth. Maybe they are all too jealous for words. (if they aren't, they should be.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Finally...
The New York Times publishes a long article, explaining what they and Judith Miller were up to. Neither the NYT nor Miller come across positively in the article: [link]
Asked what she regretted about The Times's handling of the matter, Jill Abramson, a managing editor, said: "The entire thing."
...
Douglas Frantz, who succeeded Mr. Engelberg as the investigative editor, said that Ms. Miller once called herself "Miss Run Amok."
"I said, 'What does that mean?' " said Mr. Frantz, who was recently appointed managing editor at The Los Angeles Times. "And she said, 'I can do whatever I want.' "

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
You aint kidding, Tom. When the Times does an 8-segment-long piece, that is a sign that it realizes how badly it has messed up. Those conclusing paragraphs, especially -- yeah, what exactly did you accomplish, folks? Aside from mangle your own reputation further, and alienate your employees.
In other news, I would like to be a major league umpire. The only job requirement seems to be the ability to look good in black, and a willingness to get in the way of third basemen. I can do both of these things pretty easily, and it would be a nice raise for me.
In other other news, I am awake at 2am. Why? I do not know!!

Hi Nutty!
I'm reading old XF fic -- Khyber's Reach. I still like it, despite its being rather less perfect than I remember.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
He posted a new one this Friday, didn't he? I saw the link on LJ, and meant to pursue it.
Good to know that people on the internet don't just disappear, huh? (This fellow, who worked for some branch of the Canadian government, and was a superuser to boot, was an old X-Files fanfic writer back in the late 90s. And suddenly, after years of silence or other-pseuds, pops back up as his old self!)
Not that the majority of my old XF acquaintances would know the name Nutty, although a lot would.

Your boss would be Darth Selig and the 30 ownership groups whose shady accounting and corruption informed Dubya.
I mean, if you want to work for evil, I think there's about to be an opening for presidental advisor.
