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.
ita -- glad that the potential catastophic failure of the family denial didn't come tumbling down due to you - whew!
er: I know! I totally thought we were getting a plane or helicopter crash AND John Stamos tonight. I am disappointed - -particularly when they give us the death of tiny baby chimp instead!
Perkins, stay far far away from JLH.
er: awwww. I'm not disappointed. It was the feel good dead baby monkey episode of the year. Although I am getting a bit bored with Pratt's drama.
There's been an escalation in the phishing e-mails targeting Paypal customers: [link]
This one "modifies the DNS server of the local workstation and then deletes itself. All future requests for 'paypal.com' will be transparently redirected to a phishing website. This same DNS server could also be used to redirect requests for additional websites, but it currently appears to only redirect 'paypal.com'."
No. No matter who you were, really.
An internet site is offering controversial film maker Vincent Gallo's sperm for sale for $1 million. VGMerchandise.com - which calls itself "the official website for Vincent Gallo merchandise" - includes a detailed agreement whereby wannabe mothers can pay for Gallo to inseminate them by in vitro fertilization (IVF) or even naturally for an extra $500,000, a fee it alleges he will waive if he deems the woman attractive enough. The site details the actor/director's physical attributes: "Mr. Gallo is 5 feet 11 inches and has blue eyes. There are no known genetic deformities in his ancestry and no history of congenital diseases. If you have seen The Brown Bunny, you know the potential size of the genitals if it's a boy (eight inches if he's like his father)." It also recommends his sharp features would "blend well with a softer, more subtly featured female."
What's currently amusing me re: phishing is the fact that my U. email address has been published on websites and stuff, so now I'm getting all the phish emails, but I know I've never used that address for anything. Much less some of the "banks" who are URGENTLY trying to contact me!
OH! And speaking of phish -- my friend's stepfather is currently playing drums with Trey Anastasio of Phish fame, and he's all in the new video! It's very exciting -- he's never had a gig this good, and he's like 50. ita and bon bon both saw him perform with a now-defunct band in Michigan with me a few years ago.

Even if he waived the $500,000 "natural" fee?

For Vincent Gallo, most especially. But really, the honour is all technical.
Am hiding from annual meeting. Boss is attempting to get us to stop working and join meeting in progress. Got to work early this morning. V. early. Have not eaten in almost 24 hours. Have doctor's appointment this afternoon.
Don't know if I can handle the stupid meeting tricks between then and now. Whyyyy can't I just stay at my desk and work?

See, if an employee has to ask this, the boss is doing something wrong.

My tolerance for the kind of corporate jollying that goes on during the annual meeting is very, very low.
I'm a punk-ass misanthrope. I tend to hate almost anything compulsory.
