You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

there's no info online for SF as yet, the tourney is every two years, usually in May. I thought about going to London a few years ago (my boys would have hooked me up with a room, I just had to get there), but I decided to go to the F2F instead :)

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Hmmm. May's tricky, Anniversary and all. I do want to get up there. I still have to get to Budapest by November.

Dude. Just got off the phone with my cousin- after some cutieness from the cherub, discussion of general family weirdness, we talked about "the game." How did I not know about this [link]

Some people are sick. Which is to say, certainly not all or even most. I just can't believe I didn't know.

BTW, Chicagoistas, your Eric Zorn rawks, as do y'all.

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

An account of Bush's visit to Caterpillar Tractor:

“I would suggest moving back,” Bush said as he climbed into the cab of a massive D-10 tractor during his visit to a Caterpillar factory today. “I’m about to crank this sucker up.” Newsweek notes, “As the engine roared to life, White House staffers tried to steer the press corps to safety, but when the tractor lurched forward, they too were forced to scramble for safety. ‘Get out of the way!’ a news photographer yelled. ‘I think he might run us over!’ said another. … Even the Secret Service got involved, as one agent began yelling at reporters to get clear of the tractor. Watching the chaos below, Bush looked out the tractor’s window and laughed, steering the massive machine into the spot where most of the press corps had been positioned.”

Er. Case in point I suppose.

I hadn't heard that either. Still, if there's, say, a million Bears fans in Chicago, more than a few would be idiots and/or jerks.

Jerks, sure. I have heard people who I love and generally think are pretty good people shout things I would find offensive at games-mostly of the calling people/things/plays gay. Those few people though were a little beyond the pale.

I am waiting for my spinach & feta pie to cool. Hopefully it is good, cause I had my heart set on it and it takes practically an hour to bake so I'm starved!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That sounds really good, sarameg.

I'm waiting for the firm cocktail party (goodbye for two associates) to start so that I can stop pretending I'm working.

It's very dilly. Good thing I like dill. (It's from TJ's.)

And man, phyllo is a flaky mess to eat.
