Wow. Okay. How am I supposed to get any work done now?
Book: Where's the doctor? Not back yet?
Zoe: (beat) We don't make him hurry for the little stuff. He'll be along.
Book: He could hurry... a little.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You're not. You are supposed to spend the rest of the day floating around, trying not to grin.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
See? It's easy. I'm pretty giddy. Although I am actually answering customer email because I don't want to leave innocents in the lurch. But I'm not answering the phones and there will be a fair amount of goof-offage.
Get giddy wit' it, shrift!

Ann, that's a ferret.
Travolta has had his moments, so I can't say he's a dreadful choice as J.R. J-Lo as Sue Ellen suggests they're going more for beauty than anything else, so not good.
Luke Wilson as Bobby -- at least he's a native Texan.
But come on -- Shirley MacLaine as Miss Ellie? Barbara Bel Geddes must be rolling over in her grave.

MacLaine could probably tell you for sure.

Hee. I'd take you out for a drink after work if I could, Spidra.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Frank Bruni is a tool. (Not necessarily relevant to the price of a burger in LA, just something I felt like saying.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
YAY shrift!! WOOHOOO!!!!!
$8 seems like a really reasonable price for a burger at a place I am gonna sit down. My lunch at BK is $7 (when I am eating that, which I am NOT this week). Which is to say, Allyson's people are tools who like to whine. I would suggest a nearby Denny's for them next.

We shall have to synchronize drinks. Some folks from work are splitting early at 4pm to drown our sorrows at The Mallard. I hope management doesn't show up (it was posted to the building list). I'd like to feel utterly free to speak my mind.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
KFC suggests that they compete favourably against a sitdown place charging $8/head. IIRC, which I most probably do not.
I think I had the same reaction to that article as you did.
Heh. I forgot I hadn't linked to it.
The idea that the digital divide is race-based independent of income and proximity to good cable/DSL options flummoxed me.
This I agree with:
Education levels remain a major indicator of who is among the 137 million Americans using the Internet and who is not, said Ms. Fox.
There is also a strong correlation, experts say, between household income and Internet access.
But the article, while not saying so explicitly, seems to be hinting that black implies poor/uneducated.
