I just had the most surreal conversation with the NY Times customer service people, who honestly seemed to think that I shouldn't assume we weren't going to get our papers today, even though we haven't gotten our papers today, or any other day since August 8th.

Natter 53: We could just avoid making tortured puns
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.
Thank you, Lee! They are in CA.
So, I know Buffistas would be amused by this headline on Huffington Post:
Tokyo Stocks Plunge As Asian Markets Continue To Flounder
Um.... I believe the word you're looking for is "founder."
What's wrong with flounder? I know it's a fish but it's also defined as:
To make clumsy attempts to move or regain one's balance.
I believe the word you're looking for is "founder."
Or flounder. It's a verb. I didn't click to read the article, but if they're talking about clumsy undirected motion they may have the right word.
Actually, that's the best part of the headline. "Flounder" isn't necessarily incorrect, but "founder" is more appropriate in that particular usage.
I have a meeting at work at 2 pm. I am home with the sick children, one of whom is asleep. mr. flea is supposed to be back from his meeting in Raleigh in time for me to get to my meeting.
My question is, is he planning to bring a teleporter to get me there in time?
but if they're talking about clumsy undirected motion
Yes, but I don't think the headline is refering to Asian markets moving with clumsy, undirected motion. I think it is refering to the Asian markets sinking like a stone, in which case the word they want is definitely "founder."
is he planning to bring a teleporter to get me there in time?
If mr. flea brings home a teleporter and you use it to go to a meeting at work, I will be so disappointed in you!
speaking of filming, there seems to be a big production going on at the old entertainment pier here in Fells Pt. (that is, what was the Homicide "headquarters"). Loads of trucks and huge lights and what not. I wonder if it's for the Wire? They are in their last month of filming here and it would be kind of cool if they used that space for some of their last eps.
