Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Teppy--he's a comedian, actor, writer (very good novelist) and director.

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

I feel like there must have been some weird temporal fold to cause Teppy to not know about Stephen Fry....

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

For all my customer service comrades-in-arms:

There's some hope.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Joel on Software just had a really good essay on customer service.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well, Fry is considered a national treasure in England, but he'd be easy to miss if you managed to avoid Wilde, "Bones", and Gosford Park.

Cool. I've been waiting decades for management to come around to this attitude....

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The world's first Ferris wheel was at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair.

That was a great essay, Tom. I can't imagine calling my cable company's customer service line and not being irritated. I just accept that it's going to happen, which is sad.

That was an interesting essay, Tom. I didn't agree with all points, but...interesting.
