Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

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

I always think of founder in the nautical context-- I think flounder is fine, but falter is best. And my opinions have recently been certified by a lexicographer!

Does anyone else get certain pop-ups that try to install MS Access on your system? Fucking HuffPost just did that to me, and it makes me crazy. It's why I don't visit Snopes or the NY Post if I don't have to, and generally denotes a website I have a poor opinion of.

I dislike sites that throw a lot of pop-ups at you, but I also have two or three different pop-up blockers running at once, so I rarely notice any more.

I suspect J. Average Person wouldn't know 'founder' unless they'd grown up by a bay or something. SIGH

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

WTF?

That makes no sense to me.

Also, I think 'founder' and 'flounder' work equally well. 'Founder' has the more severe meaning, however - whatever is foundering generally ain't coming back.

Dog is my co-pilot.

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.

Could be. I read that Richard Belzer just finished a guest appearance as John Munch on an upcoming episode of The Wire.

Yeah, it happens on my work machine all the time. I blame IE.

Since it's my work PC as well, I just assumed it was because the firm had failed to install part of Office because of cheapness.
