Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Uh. I think Playboy just left me a voicemail about a digital asset management position. I think I need to call back after work, because I must know.

Yeah, baby, I'd like to see you manage those assets!

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

Halloween zombie mistaken for murder victim

BERLIN (Reuters) - Passengers on a German train mistook a Halloween reveller dressed up as a gore-covered zombie for a murder victim and called the police.

The 24-year-old man fell into a drunken slumber on his way home from a Halloween party in Hamburg, police in the northern town of Bad Segeberg said on Monday.

Believing his hands and face were smeared with blood, passengers alerted police after getting no response from him.

A first aid team called to the scene soon cleared up the confusion. Police told the man to remove his make-up after which he was allowed to continue his journey.

"Bad Segeberg is in a rural area and Halloween isn't very well known there," police spokeswoman Silke Tobies said. "So people weren't expecting anyone to be dressed up in the train."

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

I was gonna say, until I read the last line-- Halloween isn't as big in Germany, and it's not unreasonable to call the police under those circumstances. Better safe than sorry.

On one hand, Playboy. On the other hand, I bet they pay better than your current job.

I am just saying, it is not like I have a moral objection to porn. I'm totally calling them back. So much potential for hilarity.

(Oh my god, seriously, if I took a job with Playboy I think I would be obligated to go to my 10 year reunion and tell everyone that I work in the porn business.)

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Annabel's pirate costume for tonight is billed as a boy costume. I hated all of the girl ones I found--one or two were appallingly sexy for any prepubescent child, much less a preschooler, but most of them were just...ugly. At least according to my tastes. They reminded me of the cheap costumes from my childhood, except minus the plastic mask. You know, the ones where you were dressed as Wonder Woman, but in a plastic smock with a picture of Wonder Woman on the front. OK, they weren't QUITE as bad as that, but they were pretty cheesy all the same. So Annabel will be a pirate in pants, with a velvet vest and a fetching tricorn hat, and I think she'll be the cutest pirate of either gender EVER.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

In asset management. Nobody would know if you were being serious or lude. It'd be great!

Dear IT Guy,

Take the chair, really. I have zero interest in you leaning over me for the next howevermany minutes.

Assuming I did not break it, I do not care what went wrong with the machine.

You are spend a lot of time talking and I have no idea what you are talking about.

I do not have time for this conversation. Please just fix this and go away.

Alternately, once you tell me "its probably faster if you re-boot" go away and let me do that.

And stop looking down my shirt.

Ta,

Me

I'm pretty much both all the time, anyway.
