Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Two hours of pretty boy pain!

Happy Birthday Olivia!

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I am torn between amusement and horror at how a locked door can send the average human into a tailspain of bitchy entitlement.

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

I'd be pissed, too, if my whole city was effectively shut down for a day

...yeah, not so much. Now, if you were a daytripper from Swampscott hoping to get into the city at 10am, yeah, because you'd have sat in traffic in Everett to hell and gone, but, yeah. Whole city, shockingly, continued to function.

I'm not sure they can prosecute Turner Broadcasting for anything but, like, vandalism (is that what you call putting up posters where it's not allowed?). I think there might be some extralegal flagellations, however, along the lines of a big "voluntary" donation to the city firefighters' fund, or something. I haven't heard anything about an executive falling on his sword -- isn't that traditional about now?

Now tagless for your comfort.

I thought I read in the news that the exec responsible was "out of the country." I expect to be reading of his entry into rehab or a shocking confession of child abuse--it seems to work for politicians and various Miss USA's.

That's of the marketing firm Turner hired. No one at Turner seems to really be taking responsibility.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Two things.

1) Aww. People are calling in to our local Public Radio Station's pledge drive with donations in Molly Ivins's name.

2) Can we have customer service lessons for customers/clients/guests? Stuff like "Please do not continue to say 'Excuse me!' while I am on the phone or typing. When I am able to ask what you need, do not take that as an invitation to walk into my office and hover over my desk so that I have to scramble to make sure I'm not exposing anyone's confidential information."

I lied, one more thing.

Hec, I am eating my oatmeal this morning. I also have apples in it.
