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

What?!

Well, that's...disturbing, isn't it?

I can't stop laughing.

And Elwood did not even end up as runner up in the ugly dog contest.

I'm not sure if it is the dog itself, or imagining everyone recoiling from the screen. Oh dear.

Thank goodness the officemate just left.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I don't know if it's surprising or not, but that dog - and the late, lamented perennial winner of the ugly dog contest - were Chinese Cresteds. Gone bad, admittedly, but still the same breed.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Chinese Cresteds really have the edge there, don't they? But the owner who thinks "[n]o one has seen a dog that looks like this" is pretty out of the ugly dog human interest story loop.

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

Sara, that's similar to how I finally appreciated the Sandpaper Sally joke--it's not that the joke is funny. It's the look on people's faces when you tell it that's hysterical.

Today seems to be one of those days where the bulk of my work involves staring dully at the computer while I wait for other people to do things.

I must say, I'm doing a VERY good job.

move out and draw fire

if you want something that's relatively inexpensive and has a shitload of bang-for-the-buck, have you considered the Subaru WRX

SO much fun to drive! But the interior is very stripped-down rally car. Not comfortable like a Passat.
