When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I used to fill up postage paid envelopes for places I hated with scrap paper, paper clips, cat claw clippings - anything to weigh 'em down over the basic postage amount. Don't know that they actually had to pay it, but it made me feel better.

In the book titled Sabotage which was filled with Tales of Work Place Mischief, there was one guy who worked as a temp at a place like Rev. Phelps organization and he just fed all the letters with checks in them through the shredder.

Of course, it only takes one right wing temp at Planned Parenthood to even the score.

I should have just called to let you know why not, but phone fear! So, my apologies.

Phone fear is so something I understand. So no worries.

shrift, that lady deserves a smackdown.

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

We are kind of thinking about having some other Amerikaniki over for board games or something, as long as we don't wind up in the papers.

Can you perhaps phrase it as a wake?

Yeah, you're gathering as Americans to console one another.

It's Patriotism. With board games.

Punishingly Intricate

One's in butt-ass Virginia and has a "theme" I love these people, but the theme parties have got to stop!

I hear you. I love to dress up but am feeling tapped out on the creativity. My friend is having a robot NYE party (w/ added old school hiphop!) which is funny but I think I'm going to just put on my fave new(ish) dress and red lipstick and a button that says "Frakkin' Toaster" and say I'm a recently unboxed and totally glam Cylon (unless i find some black cargo pants in which case I'm putting on two tank tops, grey and black, and putting my hair in a ponytail and going as first season Boomer).

move out and draw fire

Yeah, you're gathering as Americans to console one another.

Hey, our very own "theme" party! We'll require black apparel.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Diplomats are not allowed to attend parties or any social function when a president dies, until the body is interred.

Wow. That's... a lot of respect to be paid.

I used to fill up postage paid envelopes for places I hated with scrap paper, paper clips, cat claw clippings - anything to weigh 'em down over the basic postage amount. Don't know that they actually had to pay it, but it made me feel better.

Yep, they had to pay it.

Frail my heart apart and play me a little Shady Grove

In the book titled Sabotage which was filled with Tales of Work Place Mischief, there was one guy who worked as a temp at a place like Rev. Phelps organization and he just fed all the letters with checks in them through the shredder.

I worked as a temp for an insurance lobbyist. I quit after three days, because I just felt dirty. They weren't evil enough to sabotage. The people were perfectly lovely; everything they were doing was legal and even ethical, I suppose. I didn't like feeling dirty at the end of the day.

Yep, they had to pay it.

Heh.

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

Except that in this case it seems more likely to push up their Google rankings than to crash their server.

Clicking on an existing link wouldn't increase their Google ranking, nor would just sticking the URL in your browser. (Also, the link to it here won't affect anything, as Google does not scan b.org threads.)

Always Anti-fascist!

Of Course, no plans. Haven't had fun on NYE for a very long time. I hate Fred Phelps, but messing with his site requires going to his site...ew!

Which prompts today's question:

When was the last time you had fun on New Year's Eve?
