If the spring cleaning is the bank account's, then yes.

I'm gonna go eat garbage. Well, not *literal* garbage... I'll put Cheerios on the grocery list, although I'm not so sure about wanting an extra day at the moment.

My levels of rage are about to become absolutely shriftian. You do not get to call here, ask who called you, and then tell me you will "report" me when I ask you who you are on the off chance I may know who in the entire office called you and what they wanted. You do not get to show up without an appointment, demand to be seen, then when I tell you everyone is booked, tell me you'll wait. Seriously, where are these people from Rudesville, North Jackass Moronia?

Spork 'em, Daisy! Spork 'em in the ear!

I'll put Cheerios on the grocery list

I've been craving Cheerios like a mofo.

Latest on the Mooninite War of the Worlds panic:

The two men accused of plunging metropolitan Boston into a panic with illuminated advertisements for a cartoon pleaded not guilty today in a courtroom packed with supporters and a crush of reporters.

The two men smiled broadly throughout much of the brief proceeding as Assistant Attorney General John Grossman described the battery-powered characters as "bomb-like devices." The men, Peter Berdovsky, 27, and Sean Stevens, 28, face charges of placing a hoax device in a way that causes panic and disorderly conduct.

The artists shuffled into Boston Municipal Court in handcuffs. Stevens was particularly animated, grinning at the gallery of about 40 supporters and raising his cuffed hand to give a low wave.

Judge Paul K. Leary seemed skeptical of the state's case, telling Grossman that the law requires that people must intend to create a panic to be charged with placing hoax devices. This case, the judge said, seemed to involve two men who relatives say were paid to place unorthodox advertisements throughout the city.

Above link also has closeups of one of the devices (it's on sale on eBay). I had thought that the things were all handmade/thrown together, but the circuit board shows some quality construction.

Am I flogging a dead horse? This Wonkette thing cracked me up: America's New Enemy Has Dreads, Watches Cartoons

The harmless cartoon Lite Brite thingies might just be harmless cartoon Lite Brite thingies, but the prosecutor still has to be very tough and extra-crazy in such a terroristic situation: “Assistant Attorney General John Grossman called the light boards ‘bomblike’ devices and said that if they had been explosive they could have damaged infrastructure and transportation in the city.”

Yes, and if prosecutors were actually barrels of shit wrapped in dynamite, courthouses around the country could be severely damaged and extremely unhygienic.

Am I flogging a dead horse?

I'm endlessly amused by it, actually. I just have a lot of work on my desk, so I keep zipping in and out of here.

I have to say, that Wonkette picture sums up the situation pretty perfectly.

If the spring cleaning is the bank account's, then yes.

that's what i think too.
