Get giddy wit' it, shrift!
Hee. I'd take you out for a drink after work if I could, Spidra.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

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.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

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.

Dude, it's your last day, isn't it? How much freer do you get?

Now I want a grilled cheese.
I had one. with bacon. it was good. it could be great, but it's Five Guys, so they use inside out hamburger buns. It's kind of like having crust all over the sandwich. Which is fine, but the gooey inner bit is the BEST.

Yeah, sentences like this:
Studies and mounting anecdotal evidence now suggest that blacks, even some of those at the lower end of the economic scale, are making significant gains.
seem to imply that race is a barrier to internet access even if you're rich and live in a neighborhood with broadband.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Numerous studies have shown animated light-up alligators to be very dangerous. Especially to other, smaller animated light-up animals.
On the other hand: SO AWESOME!
