Bob and I were just talking about this last night. He's like Fred Phelps in that he makes the news not because he's newsworthy, or represents something, but because he's salacious. He creates a story, like this one. And what possible reason would he have to stop? Should any one of you want to become famous, create a nonprofit and start getting offended.

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.

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

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

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 gonna start a nonprofit organization called "Stupid People Suck Foundation" Then I'll issue press releases whenever someone does something excessively stupid.
Yeah, I'd probably require a large staff to keep track of all the stupidity....

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

Nah, you'll never make any money that way. What you need to to is call it something relentlessly positive, like "Nice People In Favor Of Hugs And Puppies," and then issue scathing attacks calling for apologies whenever anyone makes a public statement but fails to explicitly state their pro-hugs-and-puppies stance.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Last night, after many flights of stairs and a long night of packing ahead of me, I see an email asking about the attachments. I say "I gave you the attachments on Tuesday with the hard copy of the draft" His response "Are there attachments required? Call me"
Oh my god, I had no idea my boss had a male twin. I'm so sorry. I was just looking through old LJ posts, and I swear to god, except for the moving, I've posted this exact thing.

I linked to one of The Telegraph's earlier obits a few months ago, which is just as good: [link]
