I fixed my own toilet yesterday, which would make me feel all manly and useful, except that it was broken for a year, and I broke it even worse before I finally fixed it. When I was at the bar tonight, I noticed that the toilet wouldn't stop running, and I saw that the thing-a-ka-bob was detached the the hoosie-whats-it, and I fixed it too.
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

Natter 54: Right here, dammit.
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.
Huh. I got a voicemail yesterday that my cable company is changing the channels tomorrow or some shit, so I might need to reboot my box, and just now I lost Food Network, but none of the other channels I've tried. WTF.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Liese, you had the perfect excuse - you were too busy balancing the universe.
I'm going to use this excuse for everything now.
Tom, you're on a roll. Why stop now? You could have a whole new manly toilet-fixing persona!
Jesse, it's because they're out to get you.

Okay. Now I need to go grill bratwurst and all will be well with the world again.

You can reboot your box by holding down the power button on the front of the box, Jesse.

Oh, I've rebooted many a time, I just think it's funny (and/or a sign that They are OUT TO GET ME) that I just lost the one channel that I was trying to watch. When I stand up, it'll be to go to bed, anyway.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
It's the second quarter, and the Saints are up 21-0. They might actually win a game.

I don't usually watch the Food Network, but I'm watching now, and some guy with lots of hair is making gnocchi. Shouldn't he be wearing a net or something?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
But *everybody* thinks "well, fine, I'll be the last person"
It's an extra chore, but when it's all over, perhaps you should send out a group e-mail scorecard, showing who completed what and when. Won't help with this project, but might help with the next one....
