"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I'm being forced to read a memo about legal compliance.

I had to do one of those this fall. Among other things, I am not allowed to accept large gifts from vendors. (Although chocolates from vendors are okay, as long as you share.)

Whereas, apparently, you can corrupt it up all you want if you're, e.g., a media buyer (friend of a coworker) who received an iPod from a vendor last year.

I need more corrupt friends. How can I go about getting some?

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

I need more corrupt friends. How can I go about getting some?

Hang out here more?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

It's a MySpace blog, Cindy. ick.

What is even happening?

Heh. I do read some there -- particularly Jenna Fischer (Pam on "The Office") and crew. I didn't realize Nathan had one.

Some celebrity imposters are so obviously fake, that I like to read their comments, just to see who's been taken in by the fakers.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Kinda icky for Nathan, but he got treated with the kid gloves compared to DB back in '99. Maybe boundary-challenged fans are growing milder as time goes by?

Among other things, I am not allowed to accept large gifts from vendors.

Neither am I. Also? Insider trading is bad. And legal probably would frown on me beating a coworker to death because of his custom ringtones.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Aww, man.

RIP Peter Boyle.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

RIP Peter Boyle.

He was so striking on X-Files that it took me YEARS to not think that "Ray's Dad" was so cranky because he was forseeing everyone's deaths.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Awwww, damnit.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

RIP Peter Boyle.

"Holy crap!"

sigh. What a funny man.
