'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, I joined Facebook. WTF.

Being offed on TV is her superpower.

I have yet to catch up with Reaper. Maybe I'll do that now. Not so into Journeyman.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

brenda, that is too damn funny. And the answer is yes AFAIK. I guess that's just his way of saying I love you.

I just bumped into Burrell's DH.

That's what he said! Plus he said it was great to see you.

Okay, dumping kids into the cleaning receptacle, then off to the sleep function room.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I see kestrels pretty frequently, Hec. They have to be identified for me, because my birding skills are miniscule, but they are certainly in the area and not afraid of urbanness. Urbanity? Citification.

Oh, my, the recurring murder victim thing is funny. Would that be something the IMDB character field would cover?

I once had a job telemarketing accidental death and dismemberment insurance.

Hah! Among the many many forms I was handed today was one about "AD&D" coverage. And they kept glossing over what that stood for, and finally I was like "So...this covers dismemberment too??"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Heh. The reason dismemberment is such a big part of insurance - its own special category - is because a lot of insurance practices started with pirates and sailors. Where dismemberment was the likeliest horrible thing you could survive.

If you can get hold of the actual specifics, you'll see that some digits are worth more than others!

That's what the HR guy said! Or rather, that based on which part was dismembered, you got different amounts of money. Which still cracks me up.

Sadly, that was pretty much the highlight of my day right there. Sigh.

"I am the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world"

Among the many many forms I was handed today was one about "AD&D" coverage.

You should have asked if the Ad&d coverage is still in effect if you get killed with a +6 Short Sword of Dragon Flame by an dark elf.
