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 figure that whatever He would use, if you were hungry and in the desert, they'd turn into manna....

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

Gotta say, I'm not at all surprised at a business school going that route, since I assume that doing goofy powerpoint presentations is like half of what business school is about.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think it's funny that they use "four static PowerPoint slides" and "express your creativity" in the same notion.

Commercial for 1970s game: "Ball Buster"

Announcer (who sounds like he's polished off a couple of hi-balls): "The name of the game is Ball Buster. It's a family game. Fun for children." And for adults it's exciting. You make strategic offensive and defensive movements. Then try to bust your opponents balls."

From the WFMU blog post:

One of the strange things about getting older is that you can't tell if some of those childhood memories you had were real, or just excited kids fever dreams. I had this problem a few days ago when I was trying to describe to an old friend about a TV ad I used to see for a board game where the dad yells out "You're a ball buster!" Did I make that up? Well, I can't actually prove the real things that happened to me (did I actually see the boy next door dressed in women's clothes and pretending to hump a telephone pole when I was ten?), but thanks to the interweb, I can now prove my sanity vis a vie those tee vee memories. And so...here is "Ball Buster".

Haven't actually watched the clip, as I'm at work....

I didn't watch that clip, but have seen other FotC stuff, and here's what's weird: Someone I had just met suggested I would like them, and she was totally right! I mean, just weird that she knew me in a semi-work context for about three hours, and had me totally pegged.

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

A new study from the National School Boards Association suggests strongly that the overwhelming majority of kids have never had an unknown adult ask them for personal information.
