Nicole in Bitches, on her new job
It has come to my attention that the top two selling beers are Miller and Budweiser. Coors is currently #3.
As I would love a permanent position with Coors, I ask everyone to buy Coors instead of the other two until further notice.
I would - but I don't really like Coors. Grew up calling it Rocky Mountain Piss Water. (Don't tell my supervisor.)
Thanks!

I've been told by reliable authority that Carrot Top can pass as a normal human being when he wishes.
In fact, since I was told this, it seems like they've been toning Carrot Top down in the commercials lately.
Unless maybe I'm getting used to being beaten in the head by a hammer.
erinaceous, my own personal goddess, in the Music thread:
Most coinage claims are bunk, anyway. My theory is that good words lurk in the oversoul and jump out into multiple hosts whenever they can.

joe boucher: Truly inspired casting. Doubt I'll watch, but still.
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Tammy Faye Messner and Ron Jeremy are among the once and future stars sharing a Hollywood Hills mansion during the second season of the WB's "The Surreal Life."
The former televangelist's wife and the porn king will live in the house and act as hosts for 11 days. They'll have four other roommates: rapper Vanilla Ice, "CHiPs" actor Erik Estrada, former "Baywatch" actress Traci Bingham and "Real World: Las Vegas" cast member Trishelle. They'll also have a celebrity guest move in each week on the reality show, which began shooting Monday.
kat perez: How does a former Real World cast member even qualify as a washed up star? Give me Jo from The Facts of Life, or maybe Dee from that show with Rog and Rerun. Now those are some has-beens.

For the rest of the day I will be imagining Charlton Heston shouting "Soylent Green is ass! Aaaassss!" I will be imagining him doing this at an NRA meeting. Reports that I will be imagining him doing so in a pink tutu are premature.
Darn it, wee Jesse beat me.

I have a bunch of vegetarian friends who all agree that the greatest temptation to those who are not actively sickened by meat, is the smell/ sound of bacon fryin' up in a pan. Because, really, what's better than bacon?
Yes? You, in the back?
That's correct, more bacon.
erika in The Great Write Way:
Just got done talking to Case Management Gal, who asked me about writing. Me:Yes, I've had articles published but no fiction as yet. Don't know why...tough beast. She: What stops you? Me(thinking) If I knew that would we have this conversation? No. You'd be referred to my publicist.
cindy: It seemed to be a "thing" when Harrison Ford pierced his ear.
ita: When was that?
Madrigal: I think the "thing" was that it was so out-of-character for him, sort of like when Michael Jackson married a woman.
From Bureaucracy, context be DAMNED. After the heated discussion in the afternoon, this made me laugh like a drain that was being unclogged:
Rob, with the inadvertant setup, talking tech:
I'm pretty sure our problems are caused by a race condition in MySQL
Jess PMoon with the punchline:
I'd like to thank the Read New button, which brought me to this thread after Bitches, for my immense confusion upon reading this sentence.
