'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
From the Chicago Tribune's weather forecast for today:
A mild start but a stunning late-morning temperature plunge looms as winds shift northeast.
So your sinuses are correct, shrift! Um, yay for accurate sinuses?
ETA: And I don't know where that neighbor got "1 degree predicted for Sunday," unless it was a potential windchill number, because the 7-day forecast has the coldest day being Friday at 25 degrees for a low, mid-30s for a high. IOW, a typical March day in Chicagoland!
Bastard Canadians are sending us their air again.
Hobbes was not simply the product of Calvin's perfervid brain.
Damned straight.
EW had an article recently on sidekicks who were cooler than their heroes. They noted Willow, R2D2, Hobbes and Gromit.
Have we heard of this? [link] I'm listening to a local radio show on it now.
Also, to add to Hec's list JEEVES!
Dana, my sistah in itch! I've taken the hairdryer to spots, too. But benedryl helps me, so I'm lucky there. I have, in severe cases of mosquito bites, taken oral benedryl along with applying the benedryl cream. I've heard you aren't supposed to do that, but I'd scratch myself raw if I didn't.
Hobbes was not cooler than Calvin. Weirdo.

True dat.

I honestly feel a little guilty complaining when I know you have it worse. I raise my hair dryer in itchy solidarity with you.
Funny air traffic control quotes: [link]
A DC-10 had come in a little hot and thus had an exceedingly long roll out after touching down. San Jose Tower noted: "American 751, make a hard right turn at the end of the runway, if you are able. If you are not able, take the Guadalupe exit off Highway 101, make a right at the lights and return to the airport."
Allegedly, a Pan Am 727 flight waiting for start clearance in Munich overheard the following:
Lufthansa (in German): "Ground, what is our start clearance time?"
Ground (in English): "If you want an answer you must speak in English."
Lufthansa (in English): "I am a German, flying a German airplane, in Germany. Why must I speak English?"
Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent): "Because you lost the bloody war."
