And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Nobody's adding any pictures to the photo pool anyway. So sad!

Punishingly Intricate

I haven't been able to get to Flickr all day.

Flickr has been super wacky when I've tried to get to it from work for the last two weeks. It is incredibly annoying.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, about the Flickr TOS? When you click on that link it takes you to the Yahoo TOS, which is unspecific, flickr-wise, as far as I can tell.

The flickr guidelines say things like your account should mostly be full of pictures you've taken, and you shouldn't use flickr to host pictures for websites, and stuff like that. It seemed like it would be OK.

So, my boss just left with her own migraine, and her boss is going to be out starting tomorrow through the middle of next week. I can't imagine I'm going to get anything done for the rest of the day.....

I haven't had reliable access to flickr at work in months. 10 minutes to load a picture? Yeah, forget it. It's faster at home on dialup. It's freaky. I'm going to blame yahoo somehow because the timeline of acquisition/merge roughly coincided and I just generally have a hateon for yahoo because of their penchant to use ads that make my (admittedly feeble) work browser blow up.

It's probably a coincidence. And someone else's fault entirely.

France has said it plans to offer incentives to more immigrants - especially those from Africa - to return home voluntarily.

The cheese-eating surrender monkeys want take-backs? Way to be, France. Way to be.

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'm going to take some whiteboards and cubicle walls and build a fort, where I shall hide and take a nap.

Who's with me?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Maybe we could Nilly the links to everyone's StripCreator account. Also, If everyone created an account under their Buffista name, we could access anybody's comics from www dot stripcreator dot com slash comics slash username

Golfer dies after cart plunges off cliff

FALLBROOK, Calif. - A golfer died Tuesday after his golf cart plunged 75 feet off a cliff and crashed onto a road below, authorities said.

...

The vehicle veered off the concrete pathway, traveled down a 25-foot embankment and went over the edge of the cliff, California Highway Patrol spokesman Tom Kerns said.
