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

If you go here [link] you can see a countdown for the launch of the SpaceX Falcon 1 rocket. Since this is the first launch of a new, inexpensive launch system, I figure there's a good chance for spectacular failure.

There is also a link to a video webcast, so you can watch any pretty explosions live.

Curerntly there's 30 minutes to launch.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Got the same results as Dawn - the scorlling was soooo slooooooow. Frustrating.

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

Stop with the bad ju ju, tommy.

Yeah, it might only fail to reach orbit, in which case we wouldn't see that....

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.

Kalshane, that sounds like it came straight from the Computerworld Shark Tank.

Okay, so this one:

Mutters baffled fish, "Did he just admit to the IT department that he uses his work computer for surfing porn? And why is his wife using his work computer? Some people just never learn."

Reminds of a time when the techs in our corporate office were doing a late night upgrade on all the PCs down there and discovered one of the executives had a bunch of porn sites bookmarked. They redirected them all to things like disney.com and imabigloser.com, etc. What was he going to do, complain that IT changed all his porn links?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I took the Pop Culture I.Q. sample test, scored 100%, and am now earwormed with "Jeremy".

Can I go home now?

That's the best revenge ever, the sort that the sufferer is too embarassed to ever reveal.

It's very sad that we're blasé enough for lead paragraphs like:

STABBINGS, 'FLAG BEATINGS', and school-on-school brawls, confirm that the Victoria Mutual Building Society/Inter Secondary Schools Association Boys & Girls Athletic Championships (Champs) is just one week away.

There's even a pretty joyful exclamation point in the headline.

Would it be rude to spill a bucket full of water over the head of the be-perfumed chick one cube over?

Or continue to avoid work by telling tales of krav to the co-worker that just signed up?

The countdown timer I saw was wrong. There's still 30 minutes to go.

spacex.com website. The price of using this particular rocket to send a payload into space is only $6.7 million. I knew it was cheap, but I didn't know it was that cheap.

I vote this. But then, I'm avoiding work by trying to decide what I'm going to wear to tomorrow's Sisters of Mercy concert.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I'm avoiding it by looking at towels and bathrugs.
