Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

We're meeting for the interpretive dance of contempt at the Detroit/Windsor border tonight! We shall menace the Canadians with pastries, and be taunted with Timbits in return.

You know what the US could use more of? Pasties. (The food kind.) (And by that I don't just mean edible, I mean the kind that's intended to be food.) I think pasties would be just about perfect, with the portability and everything, and I would really love a meaty thing I could eat on the go right now.

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.

Am I the only one who thinks this "Comcastic" thing they're promoting is a combination of "Comcast" and "craptastic?"

Well, that campaign certainly affected my word choice in my rant above.

IO-ranty News, I'm still fighting off the gronk of not sleeping last night because my boss felt it neccessary to page me at 5pm yesterday and tell me when I called her that she needed to see me first thing this morning, prompting me to spend the night worrying what it could be about. Our conversation this morning lasted 2 minutes and could have easily been handled over the phone when I responded to her page. WTF?!?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Tom, may I tag?

Go ahead.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Pasties are just not as good as patties.

I just cleaned my keyboard. I don't want Lutherans. Not here. Not where there's electricity.

I don't want Lutherans.

Huh? What did I do?

I think we can both agree you don't belong in my keyboard.

Ah, but they are Cornish! No, I don't know what that has to do with the price of eggs. What specifically do you mean by patties? I'm coming up with hamburger patties, and that doesn't seem right.

(Never mind. I took a wild leap and googled "Jamaican patty". Looks like the same genre of food.)

True. I guess I'm missing what cleaning your keyboard has to do with Lutherans and their possibility of dwelling in it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I had a Cornish pasty in Greenwich in January. And bought a used copy of "Cold Comfort Farm" for 20p.
