It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well, he's acquired the nickname "scalito" if that tells you anything.
He's low-key right wing.
It was funny seeing the pres. introduce him. What, no football history? No "I know his heart"? Just his extensive legal background? Huh.

As I mentioned earlier, it doesn't tell you anything. Origin of Scalito: [link]

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I am in the gripiest mood that ever griped.
On the upside, the fact that it is Halloween today means that candy should be discounted at CVS, right? Right? Say yes or my day will be ruined forever.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nutty, go mug a few kids this afternoon. That should help your mood a bit.

I'm with sara on the scavenger hunt thing. If people want to play games, go nuts, but leave me out of it. Hell, she should have been asked before being included in an activity that involved people taking things from her.
I would probably remove everything from the surface of my desk. If I were feeling generous, I might leave a box of tissues, and allow people to take one tissue.

[looks at desk] Hmm. Removing everything from the surface of my desk would require a multi-day head start. If there was a scavenger hunt thing going on here, I'd probably just settle for scowling at anyone who came within three yards of my desk.
Kind of like every other day.

Say, if one were to have fixed a PowerMac G3/266 that one got for free what Operating System would be a good match. Say Mac OS 9 or perhaps a slightly older version of OS X like 10.1 or 10.2? I don't think OS X 10.3 or 10.4 support that old a Mac.

How does he shift the court if passes the Senate? Certainly he sounds plenty qualified.

I ended up saying no twice (I also hid said item, because I'm humorless like that.) Luckily, to coworkers who were reasonable about it. People stopped coming in our office.
It was annoying the officemate too, as he was trying to make calls to contractors at the time.
It really would have been nice if they'd just ASKED. Or even better, had it at the sanctioned halloween party later this afternoon in the lobby.
