This is a joke, right?

From childhood friends in the backstreets of Liverpool to producing the huge US primetime hit, American Idol, Ken and Nigel are a phenomenal success story. Nigel is currently executive producer and judge on FOX Broadcastings summer hit So You Think You Can Dance, and Ken is executive producer of the head to head ratings rival, NBCs Americas Got Talent and they are both enjoying the rewards and Hollywood lifestyle that come with a string of prime-time US network hits.

Everything they touch turns to TV gold, as the reality series follows the two highly successful, charismatic showmen as they venture into the vineyard abyss.

Originally planned as a consortium of buyers including Ryan Seacrest, Randy Jackson, Simon Cowell and Simon Fuller, one by one the investors pulled out leaving Nigel and Ken to purchase the beautiful 168 acre vineyard in Paso Robles, California alone.

Problems arise from the outset. Arriving at the vineyard dressed in designer clothing, Lythgoe and Warwick try to convince the jeans-clad owner of their interest in horticulture. From there the hilarities and struggles persist; business collaborations go south; wild boars cause chaos; potential profits dive; and vines become infested with rot.

Nigel and Ken refuse to give up on their lifelong dream, but will the vineyard be a success?

Can someone buy me this? It would greatly help my mood.

My friend, a database designer, just ranted at me about his day. Seems he got a panicked call from a user "OMG!!! ALL my documents are GONE!!! You have to help me!!! I clicked on Current Fiscal Year and there's nothing there!!!"

As if that wasn't punchline enough, it keeps going. She demanded that he create a view to show all the documents, not just by fiscal year. So he did. But that was too confusing, so she asked him to create a view that just showed this fiscal year. But there weren't any docs, so she panicked again. He tried to explain "No documents have been created yet this fiscal year. All the documents are from last year. You can see them in the Last Fiscal Year view. If someone creates 5 documents today, you'll see them in Current Fiscal Year."

Towards the end of the workday, he got an email from his boss. It was a forwarded email from this user to the boss, saying "Xxxx changed the database and said something about 5 documents, but I can't see them. I think he deleted them."

I can encourage you to buy it. Does that count?

I can encourage you to buy it. Does that count?

Does said encouragement involve Paypal?

No, it involves saying things like, "It's only $89.00," despite the fact that I'm not sure I have enough cash on me to buy a gallon of milk.

Milk is a significant budget item with multiple kids.

Colbert Machinima

After challenging viewers to make him a Jedi hero, Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert described "an actual dream" of his. It featured a squadron of Nancy Pelosi clones, Soledad O'Brien in a gold bikini, and Karl Rove's sail barge. Silver & Goldie Goodman recreated Stephen's dream, bringing his fighting spirit to a new level of super heroism.

"OMG!!! ALL my documents are GONE!!! You have to help me!!! I clicked on Current Fiscal Year and there's nothing there!!!"

Heh. We had some of that here (with less panicking), too.

I don't like users.

Which is probably no surprise since right now I don't like anyone.

But I really like dragonflies.

I also have not had a snack this morning, and I don't remember the point of skipping it.
