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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think a podcast link has to end in .xml.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I'm loving billytea's walking Mutual of Omaha show. Man, what a font of knowledge you are, billytea.

Today's Chicago Tribune has a great behind-the-scenes look at Nordstrom's shoe department for all those Buffista shoe sluts out there. The Michigan Ave. store has 75,000 pairs of shoes on two floors, and did $1 million in business last month (yes, that's "month," not "year")!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I just had too much lunch. Teriyaki beef, shrimp tempura, marinated mussels, rice, miso soup. Yummy. But too much.

Several times today I've been asked, "Where's [my former coworker]?" His chair's been empty for weeks. I guess they thought he was just on vacation. They all looked baffled when I say, "Uh, he quit?"

It really makes me want know what'll happen here on the day after my last day, man.

Oh, you'll have to leave a blowup doll in your chair. Or a pile of ashes. Or a sign saying "The mothership finally came."

Maybe you should leave a set of clothes on your chair so they think you're the only person around who got raptured.

HOLYMOTHEROFGOD, I'm going to kill someone.

I spent several weeks explaining the logic of the system to the developers a couple years ago.Why? Because I was the only one still around who knew, they needed to replicate the logic in the rewrite. Wrote up test procedures for them, etc based on this logic.

When they rewrote the system, they rewrote the logic. And never told me. I've been operating under a totally different set of rules.

My life just became much more difficult.

I guess the good news is that it took two years before we noticed the discrepancy, right?!

Hee. A big red PANIC! button on my keyboard. Or leave iTunes on repeat playing a neener mix: "Leaving on a Jet Plane/Take This Job and Shove It/They're Coming To Take Me Away/Twisting/Fitter Happier/Don't Ask Me."
