I swear, it's a profit-making plot concocted by aquafina and ziploc.
I mean, that would at least make sense, now wouldn't it?!
Jinx? If you and Dreg have been using my moisturizer again I'm going to have to rip off your scaly- hey, what's the deal with your face?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
From a NYT article on Woodward's book:
And he suggests that President Bush chose Mr. Rumsfeld as his defense secretary, in part, because he knew his father mistrusted Mr. Rumsfeld, and the younger Bush wanted to prove his father wrong.
Nice.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I am absolutely unsurprised by that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Seriously? Because that's beyond fucked-up.
I don't think it was actually a problem, and was, I'm sure, just caused by a dim-bulb employee who got a memo that said "quart sized ziploc," and not any actual policy, but yeah.

Is it just me, or will this show be highly annoying?
Hollywood Reporter notes a new comedy television pilot ("Genius Bar") that has been given the go ahead by CBS.
... the project explores the interactions between people who work at a place similar to the Genius Bar at the Apple stores and the cool, hip and beautiful employees at a nearby Abercrombie & Fitch-type store.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I think it will probably be annoying, just because it's a contemporary American sit-com, and so few of them aren't. I don't see anything necessarily wrong with the concept.

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

I'm pretty sure this what's shown on TV in the yuppie circle of Hell.

Maybe they could get John Hodgman and the guy who plays a Mac to staff it?

Advice we can all use: How To: Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
Remove the neutron trigger. This will be a small disc or ball. Don't eat it – it will be made of polonium or some other highly radioactive material, which initiates the chain reaction.
...
Separate the U-235 masses. These will be two small but very heavy chunks of metal – an isotope of uranium. If they get too close to one another, the combined critical mass will flood the area with radiation, and you will die. Kept apart, each emits only relatively harmless alpha particles – you could even handle them without gloves if necessary. Put each piece in a separate metal box and call the authorities.
It should be noted that these instructions assume you have a uranium bomb, not a plutonium bomb.
