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

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.

People are so weird about stuff like that. I work 10-6, and I can not tell you how many times I've had people either stop me as I am walking in (usually about 15 minutes early) or leave me messages at 9:30 to tell me I should have already done something.

Um, no.

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

I'm gonna go to a taco stand for lunch...

And get a burrito.

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

Tampon gun

Inspired by marshmallow shooters, this air-powered tampon gun turns your feminine hygiene products into high-flying projectiles. Have a shootout between rival tampon brands, or use it as a fun alternative to paintball. The tampon shooter has a range of 10 to 20 feet depending on your ammo and lung capacity. The matching bandolier lets you carry a full “clip” (i.e., box) of 20 tampons, so you’ll never be caught short in the heat of battle.

Oddly, all the taco talk makes me want a hamburger.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

From the Lance Bass article:

Now, after years of keeping his personal life private, the Mississippi-bred, Southern Baptist-reared Bass, 27, is publicly revealing what he first shared with his friends, then his shocked family.

Shocked? Are these relatives that have never met him or seen him on television?

I have a friend who's a paintballer... how much do I want one of these, just to mess with his mind?!?

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I made tacos for dinner last night out of leftovers in the fridge: chopped grilled chicken breast ('twas organic and still tender, 4 days later), black beans, cauliflower, cabbage, onions, and garlic on a low-fat flour tortilla with hatch chile salsa and shredded colby cheese. Total cost of ingredients: ~$7.50 for the whole meal (5 tacos).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Happy birthday, Kat!

I hate being told how to make any kind of food authentically. I'll make it how I like it with stuff I have on hand, that's how food works.

Though I do have a bit of an urge to go find out how good the tacos from the truck by the tire store down the street are. Probably pretty good.

this air-powered tampon gun turns your feminine hygiene products into high-flying projectiles.

Hee. I knew a guy in college who thought all feminine hygiene products were horrible, unclean things. Not used ones (I'd understand the squick in that case), but a plastic-wrapped, unopened tampon was horribly untouchable. One fell out of my purse once and he jumped back 3 feet. And he wasn't kidding.

I'd so like to get into a wargame scenario with him and this weapon.
