Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
how the hell did Nora Helmer make the Top 25?
They think she had a big influence on feminism back in the day?

Thrive to spite them
Our first computer was an Apple IIe. Mom bought it beause Apple offered discounts to teachers. My brother had a fondness for Ultima and all the various sequels. I think I played that. One of my cousins had a different type of computer and had several Infocom games, including Hitchhiker's Guide.
I was never into trying to program computers, although I did learn stuff in school, I just don't remember it. I was really lame and spending an ungodly amount of money chatting on AOL before the flat rate. In fact I moved to a place without AOL the month before they went to a flat rate.
At some point I had PC with a weird 3D intro thing that looked like rooms in a house. I had to suffer through that because I coudl never figure out how to turn it off.

I'm entertained that they list Kirk and Spock in one entry, as though they're only a whole person when they're together.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I kind of love this: Bad Scrabble Racks.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
(Me either)

I'm trying to do stuff, but the damned journals have decided I don't have access and this is making it difficult.

Okay, so, recently a guy outside my cubicle advised someone to "run! run like a deer!" And now some guy a few cubicles over is talking about how his wife had to go get a checkup for "a woman thing."
Their verbal testosterone is aggravating my migraine.

The 20 Worst Video Games are cracking me up. It's clear on pretty much all of them, the badness didn't just creep in, but was welcomed with open arms all the way at the beginning conceptualization stage.

Was he hoping to pull a Cheney on the person?

Any moment now, your coworkers are going to just start walking around saying only "Guns! Cars! Football! Penis!"

I'm all for talking about guns and classic cars and beer and hockey and Batman and venison jerky, but if your office conversation sounds like it belongs in a bad 50s sitcom, it may be time to update the repertoire.
