I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

So many fugly boots, oh my god, I'm dying over here.

ETA: Since I'm not allowed to buy, I must mock to make myself feel better.

I don't know, I like some of those boots. But then, I developed my fashion tastes in the '80s.

The second pair look like part of a uniform from a bad sci fi movie.

That's exactly what I was thinking, askye.

Well, you know, taste is subjective and I understand that. There are a lot of shoes I look at and can't decide if they're fugly or brilliant.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I love the ones that say something along the lines of "everyone will notice you in these!" Yeah, because they'll all be saying "What the fuck does she have on her feet??"

Holy crap!

So while I was out, my officemate had a piece of new equiptment shoot flames at him. So, after restarting his heart, he wrote up a funny email to send to his bosses, requesting hazard pay. Who, in addition to requesting a new thingie, passed on his tale of adventure to the supplier.

Yesterday, he got a box purporting to be the replacement. BUT! It isn't. It was a box full of logo shirts, a gps receiver, logo pens, a fleece, and all sorts of other stuff from the parent company. And a sympathy card. It's all labelled "HAZARD PAY."

Dude. I know the parent company is purported to be an awesome place to work but ... dude. That's above and beyond and man, someone has a great sense of humor.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Timelies!

Talk about 80s -- fashion , the only place I could see these being worn at is a Poison concert.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

UK man builds Dalek to frighten away drunken students:

A Doctor Who fan has made a Dalek he can sit inside, complete with voicebox, to scare away rowdy students from his street.

It rasps: 'I don't like students. You will be exter- min-ated!' at passers-by.

Andrew Simpson, 22, who took eight months to make the Doctor Who creature at a cost of £1,000, claims his tactics have worked and the street is quieter.

He said: 'We live right by the university and there's loads of them here – but they're no match for the Dalek.'
