Punishingly Intricate

lisah, not bad in a geeky sort of way.

oh no. not at all.

I'm still pissed at him for paying some out of towner 1/2 a million dollars to come up with a lame ass slogan ("Baltimore, Get in On it!" what does that even mean) when I'd given him a perfectly great slogan for free (at a bar a couple of years ago): "Baltimore--It's Fucking Awesome!" He claimed to like it at the time anways.

I think brenda's soap opera drama came to my office for a visit. There's a dude on the other side of my cube (at reception) who has apparently been banned from the building; he's arguing with some employees, and the police may have to be called.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I felt bad for his kids because their lives have just been changed radically.

But have they really? Won't he just get a job as a lobbiest/think tank/pundit etc. and stay in the D.C. power circle?

And if kids operated on utter rationality, maybe they would have thought that and not gotten all weepy before the entire country.

Silly kids, reacting like....kids.

Maybe he's saving it to use for the state? What the hell is the state motto, anyway?

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

There's a dude on the other side of my cube (at reception) who has apparently been banned from the building; he's arguing with some employees, and the police may have to be called.

Ooh. Bummer. Wonder what the guy did? Is he an ex-employee?

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

Silly kids, reacting like....kids.

I don't see where anyone was saying that the kids reacted wrongly. My personal point is that I don't feel sorry for them. Except for the part where America got to watch them react. Bring your kids up for acceptance speeches, people. Leave them be for the sad stuff.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Maybe he's like the guy who got fired at our office for running a porn site after hours.

Fatti maschi, parole femmine: (manly deeds, womanly words) or (strong deeds, gentle words)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But have they really? Won't he just get a job as a lobbiest/think tank/pundit etc. and stay in the D.C. power circle?

If he does that, they'll be pleasantly surprised at how much more money he's making, anyway... (Aside: I always appreciate when the Clintons talk about how they were never rich before, acknowledging that they are now.)

I'm still pissed at him for paying some out of towner 1/2 a million dollars to come up with a lame ass slogan ("Baltimore, Get in On it!" what does that even mean) when I'd given him a perfectly great slogan for free (at a bar a couple of years ago): "Baltimore--It's Fucking Awesome!"

Ha!

Always Anti-fascist!

I like John Waters' one: Come To Baltimore and be Shocked. Of course Simon the Wiseass would make it Come To Baltimore and Be Shot, because that is what he does(City That Bleeds, anyone?) They would not like mine: Baltimore: You Didn't Come Here to Hunt, Did You?
