And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

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

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Hey, it's a Perkins!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It is a (very tired) perkins, who unexpectedly spent last night in the Miami airport, and is glad to be home.

Big Boss just popped into my office and asked, "Are you going to be here Thursday?"
I asked, "Why?"
He said, "Because I just volunteered you."
"Actually, I'm flying to California Thursday morning," I told him.
Big Boss asked, "Is there any chance you can cancel?"
Cue my uproarious laughter.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Big Boss asked, "Is there any chance you can cancel?"
I want a webcam set up so we can watch you give notice in April.

Anyone who saw TDS last week probably remembers Jon talking about the number-one grossing movie in Turkey, called The Valley of the Wolves--Iraq and costarring Gary Busey. It's actually based on a real-life event from 2003 that the Turks consider "the most humiliating moment in Turkish history," and yet it's something that even leftwing bloggers have never heard of.

I thought I did quite well when I didn't inform Big Boss to let this be a lesson not to commit my time before checking with me.
I want a webcam set up so we can watch you give notice in April.
It's going to be funny. They can't replace me.
Oh, they can put somebody in my chair and have them to the job I have on paper. But for all that I actually do at this office? Heh. Fat chance.

Your immediate boss is going to end up doing a swan dive off the building, isn't he?

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.
It might be interesting funny cruel to leave an e-mail addy for your boss and/or replacement to contact you at when you leave. Never reply and just watch as the requests for help become more and more frantic.

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
Of course unless your web site becomes wildly popular you are unlikely to attract the notice of anyone who would sue you, and the most you would likely risk is a lawyerly demand to take the site down.
What Flea said.
And a demand letter is not such an awful thing, really. They generally give you a certain number of days to comply and they'd probably only concern their particular image and not the entire site. As long as you give proper credit and don't appear to claim anything as your own you're probably fine if its such a small sample.
