But back in 1470 B.C., this was the agenda for one of ancient Egypt's most raucous rituals, the "festival of drunkenness,"
Shouldn't that be "Ra-cous rituals"?

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

Hee!

Ugh. Use a pun...and you know what happens!
Yesterday, Fela and I did a corn maze in the country. V. fun...and quite silly. The 'stalk talker' who did the orientation kept using terms like, "Please be cornsiderate." It was...not exactly painful...but a bit, ya know...
To get through the maze, one had to answer a bunch of trivia questions about bats. Not wanting to be obstreperous, I didn't challenge the answers (especially since doing so would not have gotten me out of the maze any quicker) but I DID have some concerns. Shoulda printed out a wikipedia article to take with or something.
Still? Fun! And on an organic farm dedicated to education about locally grown food and stuff. I felt good about giving them my dinero.
Also bought 3 huge pumpkins that will be carved tonight. I usually do 3. One with a word (this year will be VOTE!), one with a really intricate design (which always gets ooohs and aaaahs from the hundreds of t'nters we get each year) and a fun one (this year, it will be covered in flashy-glowy eyes, just like a cave of bats!)

At the moment, it seems to be warmer in Chicago than it is in Los Angeles. I reserve the right to have five seconds of "IM IN UR FACE STEALIN UR RAYZ" before it begins snowing.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Yah shrift. All the kids who have to wear winter coats over their halloween costumes tomorrow are going to blame you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dude, your projected high for tomorrow is lower than our projected lows all week. You deserve this moment.

Thank you, ita. It's Monday, and I need all the tiny, happy anomalies I can find.

OK, this is hilarious. Apparently, there is some abuse of parking cards, or something. Why anyone would short of the stupid card readers not working is beyond me, but anywho. This just went out in an email from the head of facilities:
To 99% of staff, we appreciate all your continued cooperation with the parking policies in place. To the remaining 1% I live for your reply.
Snork.
Omg, why did I agree to write this section of the manual? I think I'm going to have to poke my eyes out.

I'm sure a suitable punishment will be coming forthwith.

Someone's going to have to send me a toaster. I converted a friend to Buffy. I loaned her my season 1 and 2 dvds and she's in love.
