Frail my heart apart and play me a little Shady Grove

I'm watching the Terry Gilliam episode of the Python retrospective.

I saw the end of that. Amen to the

unholy mind-fuckedness of it

Huh. Part of the nightwatch last night. And here I am with the morning team. Except can it official without Theodosia?

All retirees should have a booty if they want. Or possibly booty.

Tommy, no to 8 hours of simulated bus driving across the desert, but possibly yes to certain death, because I know you'd do it imaginatively varied with maximum gore.

Cool picture, Jess! I see Lilly Land and Conseco Fieldhouse from my window. Beyond that is the haze of southside Indy.

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

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

They use the term ready-to-wear in ways I never would.

My sister succumbed to the lure of a dress she didn't need yesterday. Priciest dress she's ever bought. She sent pictures last night. Damn, with my whole trying to mix it up a bit I haven't hit a note like that. Cream coloured dress covered in large butterflies. Sheath with an empire waist and large pleats that start mid-thigh. Low round neckline, no sleeves, and the kicker is the bow on the left strap. Oh, and piping. Orthoepy would love the detailing, I swear.

Excellent job.

There was a "game" that came on one of our macs way back when (early-mid 80s, I'm guessing) in which the goal was to thread a camel through the eye of a needle. You had a choice of camels, though I can't quite recall the names. And of course, it couldn't be done.

We tormented many a friend with that game.

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

Oh man. I remember when that series of comics came out.

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, you're not in Wisconsin, are you? Because every. single word. you wrote, from the arbitrary and meaningless review to the unilateral reorganization, is what Former Evil Boss did here. He's now a CIO in Wisconsin. Dear lord, I hope it's not him.

As aurelia said, I live and work about 10 minutes south of the Wisconsin border.

When he first started here, he rattled off all the different places he worked. It seems like he works in a place for 6 months to a year, "fixes" everything, gets bored and moves on.

At this point I'm kind of hoping he sticks to his pattern.

(It didn't come out that well, but we're in the middle of a snowstorm here.)

As are we, though I have no camera. The sky is currently filled with big, fat flakes and the ground is turning white at an astonishing rate.

Hee to the NYC snowstorm. We will likely hit 80 today in NC. We're only 10 hours apart by car, and usually a little more in synch than that!Weather, she is weird.

Just a few tiny flakes here....

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Hey!

I eschewed the computer keyboard this morning, and instead watched Dirty Jobs on the TiVo. Chimney sweeping! Log diving & recovery & furniture making! Scrap metal processing with really big machines! All that you could ever want to watch over a healthy breakfast!
