I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Natter .44 Magnum: Do You Feel Chatty, Punk?  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

See, I like that Irina hasn't ever really turned "good." She does care for Sydney in her own way, but she will always betray her in the end. Syd and Jack protecting Vaughn is lame, but it's also totally in-character (both for the characters, and for the show).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

TAR cracked me up. Drive across the water! Put the camel in the truck! I liked that the frats were just like "Man, we suck" when they kept getting lost. And I still like the hippies -- in a way they remind me of Cha Cha Cha -- sure, they have schtick, but it actually helps them in the race, and they're still having fun.

Bwah -- this week's Onion, Baby, You Mean The World Of Warcraft To Me:

When we met, I was looking for a group fit to take the Zul'Gurub instance. But as I stocked up on provisions at the convenience store before my quest, and our eyes locked, I realized that I was not looking for a group, I was looking for love, and I found it in you. You are the sun, the moon, the Cinderhide Armsplints of the Monkey. There is so much we have to offer one another. Unfailing loyalty, a Strength of 250, someone who can go out for snacks in the heat of battle. Can't you see we're made for each other?

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

Huh. I click on that Onion link and I see a banner ad: "Serenity in theaters 09.30.05"

Huh?

That's bizarre -- try this one: [link]

[eta: Oh, or did you just mean that the banner ad is woefully out of date? I might have misread.]

OK, I see an up-to-date banner ad....

Yeah.

I'm sure they have software that rotates their banner ads. The old Serenity one must have just gotten in there with the new ones....

eta: I hit reload and got Serenity back again....

The Roomba people have a floor-washing robot:

Robots attack!

Clean kitchen floors mystify humans!

It's called the iRobot Scooba, but with a name like that I'd think it would clean swimming pools....

The Rolling Stone article on Bush: The Worst President in History?

Also - dammit, someone else post something!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I am not feeling chatty, Tom. Sorry!

Although thanks for the procrastination tools. If you also deliver oreos, I'd be much obliged.
