Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
every time someone passes by the receptionist's desk on the other side of my cube and asks if it's Friday yet, I go a little bit more Dexter inside.
I hate that. Also, "Workin' hard or hardly workin'?" I will throw my Swingline at you.
I like Joss's story Reminds me of ita
I hate when NPR carries Bush's speeches. Just let me read the transcript. I hate his, "Let me, the only person who understands the worlds problems, explain these simple concepts to you stupid reporters." tone.

God, even in six words Stephen Baxter sucks. Remind me again why his books keep getting published?

Because books.

Oh, I like this one, too.

Have people heard of the new Richard Dawkins book, The God Delusion? It's gotten a lot of attention (but I don't think I need to buy it).Oh yeah. I may ask for it for Xmas. (No, really.) Did you see that "new atheism" piece in Wired? It had some interesting parts, although it suffered a bit from the "all journalism must now be as much about the writer as the subject" problem.
I might just be bitter that they didn't even mention Sock.
while I have the absolutely hilraious CATCHING TROUBLE short, the host segment where they hunt and abuse "The Great White Ross" isn't there. Keep your tapes people
You can get DVDs of complete episodes from friendly MiSTies for a fairly modest fee. Which is another thing I need to think about getting for Xmas.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
DUDE!
I so need Eddie tonight.
I'm going to listen to Izzard right now!
I folded and put away laundry last night (and it was 2+ baskets' worth of laundry, some of which had been sitting in the basket on my bedroom floor since before summer -- it was cool-weather clothes). My incentive to stay in my bedroom and put it all away?
Glorious in the laptop. And the whole computer bit at the end? Just as funny as Shrift remembers.

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

Yeah. ITA.
I might just be bitter that they didn't even mention Sock.
What's that? (My first reaction was that you're refering to my cat Señor Sock, but probably not, huh? ION, I need more caffeine.)
Strega - Oct 25, 2006 6:32:34 am PDT #5513 of 10001
I definitely need more caffeine. Sock is Penn Jillette's novel from... a year or two ago? I think. It's sort of a mystery narrated by a sock monkey. But only sort of. It's quite funny if you enjoy random song lyrics and angry screeds. Which I do!
