"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Betsy's post from press:

Just on CNN, the WB and UPN will be collapsed into one broadcast network.

According to the story, it will be a joint venture of Warner's and CBS. Does this mean CBS will (even more) officially become the duffer network?

If I only had a brain...

Now that I've finally processed that half my music died in Katrina,

Did you get a definite on the self-storage? I'm sorry.

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

the males boasting the largest testicles also had the smallest brains

Oy. Some random guy came onto a male krav instructor when we were out Friday. "My balls are the size of grapefruits." Seems to correlate with the above finding. WHO SAYS THAT AND GETS LAID???

Who in the hell picks up a random FATTY LUMP that they find lying around? Nast.

My dog is the only one comes to mind.

Can you imagine later finding out your dog has eaten thousands of dollars worth of puke?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

When we were down in Florida a couple years ago, my 7-year-old cousin would pick up every disgusting thing she could find on the beach. When her hands get full (which didn't take long), she would try to get me or my uncle to carry her collection for her. Fortunately, he's a doctor and not easily squicked.

Dana told me the high water mark on the building was about four feet up. I'm considering it all wet or molded. I should get it finalised by calling, but the guy is very hard to find.

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

ita, is it possible the CDs themselves are undamaged? Or would they be so covered in grossness that it's not feasible (or not worth the trouble) to clean them?

That's what I'm assuming. And at least they're replaceable. I don't know when I'll get over the loss of hundreds of comics, including the entire X-Men run from the reboot on. Shit in there was worth money man. I'm such an idiot.

And clothes, and furniture...but you know what? I have a home and other stuff. So I need to not complain.

Huh. This guy developed softare to take, say, a computer image of a game character and print it on a 3d printer (which gives you a physical copy of the object). BoingBoing link: [link]

iTunes users were 2.2 times more likely to own a Volkswagen than the average internet user.

They are also somewhat more likely to enjoy kicking people in the head.
