Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

All domesticated turkeys are descended from a breed that originated in Mexico. I don't know how much they're actually eaten there, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I wonder if the taco is actually pre-Columbian.

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

Tacos and turkeys were brought to Mexico by the same aliens that built the Aztec pyramids....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Why am I not surprised to click through and find a Mark Bittman article on the other side? Oh right, because he's a pompous git whose writing gives me hives.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Happy Birthday, Kat!

Now I want a taco.

I kind of can't believe it's really true about Lance Bass and Reichen from the Amazing Race, but sure enough: [link]

(Maybe I should do some work, huh?)

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

People should not tell me "you're late" when I come in at 9:45. (I usually get here shortly after 9, honestly. But when I don't? I still work my hours.) Especially if I know these are people who are here at 7 and gone by 3:30. I'll just start telling everyone you leave really early. Bitch.

I know! somebody did that shit to me the other day, the security guard at the gate. It was almost 10, and I waved at him in his little hut, and he opened the door to tell me I was late. I looked at him and said "do you sign my timesheet? are you here when I leave at 7?", with a clear STFU undercurrent.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I kind of can't believe it's really true about Lance Bass and Reichen from the Amazing Race, but sure enough:

Goodness. I think I hear the sound of popslashers exploding with glee.

Yay!

Uberpollster Survey USA has conducted its semi-monthly survey of every damn U.S. Senator and his/her approval rating. Whatever the opposite of an upset is, it’s this: Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is the most beloved statesman in the land. Eighteen hard months of being handsome, making speeches, and being handsome have paid off, as 72% of Illinoisans give thumbs up to the skinny kid with the funny name. as some wags have observed, Obama is the only Democrat who can appear in any state and be a boon to his party’s candidates (imagine Hillary stumping for someone in Nebraska. See?). The most popular Republican is Maine’s Olympia Snowe, whose presidential draft movement is slightly, slightly smaller than Obama’s.

Go Obama! Go us! I've never been so happy to cast a vote as when I voted for Obama....
