a couple of grains of Minute Rice in the salt shaker will help as well

What, there's a product that's supposed to do that? How strange. We use the uncooked-rice in the salt-shaker all the time.

(A detail of meaningless-unless-you're-me trivia: I learned the word "salt shaker" from the Buffistas. I've always read or heard stuff like "pass me the salt" and had to ask here what's the thing that holds the salt is called. It was probably one of the very first time, way in the TT mists of past boards, that I dared ask about an English word here.)

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Yeah. The Onion.

Whew!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Travelocity is evil! Tickets to SF are now $167. I wonder if I hod out for another couple of weeks, they'll knock it down to $150.

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

Art Crawl!!!

That reminds me -- are you racing fans going to watch that show with celebrities racing cars? (I saw ads for it during Traveler last night and thought of you guys.)

Thanks Trudy! You are also welcome to use that to find a cheap ticket down to Dallas too. Manouflage for everyone!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

When I get up to San Francisco I should do a Buffista book reading mashup with Hec and deb.

Punishingly Intricate

Just told boss that I got an offer. He was sad but happy for me. And asked what I'd want if they could make a counter-offer. Nobody's ever counter-offered for me before! I said 4 days working at home a week + pay raise + monkey butler. Or, possibly, cabana boy.

I don't know what I'll do if they can meet my requests. The idea of a change is (while scary) pretty intriguing to me now. And I don't know if there's anything else I can do here in terms of furthering my career, such as it is.

Now...I really want BK. I haven't had it all year! I should probably just stick with the hummus and veggies I brought though.

move out and draw fire

The thing about counter-offers is if you accept one, then they know exactly how much your soul costs.

Amazon apparently has too good an idea of who I am, or at least who my virtual friends are...for Jon
