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.

I've seen so much porn on company equipment, man.

I went to work on a VP's PC once and he'd stepped out of his office, so I sat down to do what needed to be done before he got back. Moved the mouse, screen saver shut off and there was the porn site he'd been looking at before he left the room. I couldn't believe it.

I got nothing against the desire to see porn, but I'm skeeved by people that need it so bad they not only can't keep it off of work hardware, and are so dumb they don't try and hide the facts.

Yes. This.

Our wings are not tired.

I got blown out too Tom. What I saw of the launch was cool though.

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'm avoiding it by reading the blogosphere explosion about Ben Domenech. For some reason, perpetrators of literary/journalistic/any sort of writing-for-a-living frauds totally fascinate me; between Domenech, James Frey and JT Leroy, this has been a banner year in crooked-writerdom-related work avoidance for me.

omigod, this has made me panic so much. I'm terrified that I could have written something down, and it's just something I remembered reading that worked its way into my brain and then fell out on a page somewhere.

I HATES these guys.

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

Add some soap and it might help. Maybe toss her a loofah as well.

And some falafel, in case she's a neocon.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

When I was working in the law school in Maine, I supervised the student workers. One day one of them was shelving in the Canadian law section, and came across foreign porn magazines in the shelves.

We were pretty sure we knew who put them there, and that he had done so because the magazines were in French, and the Quebec materials seemed like the best place to keep his stash.

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

Was it Parisian French, or Canadian? I hate the conflation--it's often so sloppy.

Man, you suck at this game.

At least it beats avoiding work by waiting for the computer system to work, which is how I spent this morning.

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

Time to go home, where there may be napping....

It was Parisian, but the guy in question wasn't the brightest of bulbs.
