Kalshane: There is something on the poster about watching out for the managment float in the building tomorrow.
I'm frightened.
tommyrot: Maybe "watching out for" means to hide around the corner armed with a baseball bat?
Plus bonus points for use of the word 'mosey'.

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

All is well that ends in pizza.
Commable story from Aurelia:
my SiL shared this story with me: At the bowling alley last night, M (my 6yr old nephew) turns to D (my brother) and says, "What's a tortoise?" The bowling alley being a loud place, D leans over and says, "Tortuous???" M, not hearing D, says, "Yeah." Well, this was the law firm bowling league, so there was a chance that M had heard that word and didn't know what it meant, so D proceeded to explain what tortuous meant, and of course the first chapter of tort law (that's my bro!). M stops D half way through, puts up his hand and says, "No, no, no...you're describing tortuous, I'm asking you 'What's a tortoise?'." D, a little stunned, says, "It's kinda like a turtle." M said, "Oh, ok," and skipped away.

msbelle sets it up for tommyrot in Natter:
msbelle - It has come to my attention that several of the Oscar movies are on my cable on demand movie thingy. Now playing: The Constant Gardner.
The plan is to watch at least half of it tonight and finish it off in the morning.
tommyrot - The Constant (Except for the Overnight Pause) Gardner.

Classic sarameg in Natter:
I think I stole part of msbelle's good mood. I'm not in a good mood, really, I just woke up with a lower level of all encompassing resentment this morning.

flea: This is true in my bra, and also in the upper levels of the administration at my workplace.

Consuela: Oh, holy fuck.
My boss, and his boss, just gave notice.
DXMachina: That means you're the new boss, right? Or is your organizational chart not structured like a Klingon warship's?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
KristinT, in Natter. It's funny 'cause it's true....
Note to self: playing "The Sims" when already stressed = bad idea
"Why does my Sim keep CRYING?? Stop crying! You want a pony? A new car! PLEASE stop crying!"
Even after I finally managed to get the strength to stop playing, I kept wondering if the Sims get lonely when I turn off my X-Box.
Who thought that playing a game about managing all the little stressful details of multiple people's lives was RELAXING? Whose idea was this? I want names, NAMES.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Because Buffistas make me laugh even when they're talking about death....
JZ: To hell with that no crying crap. I want people bawling their eyes out at my sendoff. There'll be plenty of good food, and stories and laughing are also encouraged, but tears are mandatory.
eta: Donation and cremation as well, but still with the tears. Wailing is acceptable. And I'll probably put a clause in my will handing over all my signed first editions to the first mourner who ululates.
Ginger: I've signed the papers for my body to go to the local medical school, to be snickered at by med students. If something goes awry with that, it's the Body Farm or anything useful. I wonder if I could leave my body to Mythbusters to shoot or blow up or something.
