I need to print this out in ten-foot high flaming letters and post it above my desk at all times.
Yes. I would put it next to the "Do your own job" sign that's also in my imaginary cubicle.
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

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.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
DirecTV fined for do-not-call violations
But the FTC, in its complaint, alleges that DirecTV "knew or consciously avoided knowing" that do not call violations were occurring.
Can I just say that "consciously avoided knowing" is my new favorite phrase?

It has been determined that shrift's clients knew or consciously avoided knowing that they are wankers.

Hilton Named Worst Celebrity Dog Owner
"First she loses Tinkerbell, then she ditches her for a cuter dog, then replaces that dog with a ferret, then a kinkajou monkey and then, I gather, a goat," Padgett said in a statement. "Recently Tinkerbell was spotted back in Paris' arms. But how long will she be in favor this time?"

Ann, that's a ferret.
But why limit it to dog ownership?
Oh, and Yay, Joss Stone!

Coding and Sleeping
We had to take one of our new dogs back to the shelter. She was just too aggressive to keep around the kids. At least the other dog is working out wonderfully.

That's too bad, but I'm glad that the other one is fitting in.

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.
So I have a bit of a 1st world quandry. The last few months, I've had a severe bug up my butt to get an HDTV. (Particularly since my parents and my sister's family each have one and the difference is remarkable.) I kept telling myself I should wait until I buy a house and get settled before I get a new TV, because otherwise it's going to be longer to save up for said house and I'll have to move an extra TV when I do.
Still hasn't kept me from looking. Last night while I was out Christmas shopping I saw an out-of-box special for one of these [link] at the store. $899. In WI, which means tax is going to be cheaper than IL. (5.5% vs. 7% or so) The only thing that stopped from impulse-buying the thing was the fact that there was no way in hell it would fit in my car. I mentioned this to one of my co-workers and he volunteered his truck to pick it up if I really wanted it.
So now I'm trying to decide if I should take him up on his offer. Buying it would take a sizable chunk out of my savings, which as mentioned, is supposed to be going towards an eventual downpayment on a house. On the flipside, I feel like I've been saving forever with nothing to show for it and HDTV. $300 off!
And another part of me wonders if I wait until the new year rolls around if I might find a better deal and maybe I should just wait until Spring when I get my tax refund so only part of the cost has to come from savings.
Really stupid thing to be dwelling on, I know. I'm just curious if anyone has been paying a closer eye to the HDTV market and if this is worth it.
