You wish you had a Powerpoint presentation!

No husband! No root! No idea what I want for lunch! My life, so hard!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I bet Playboy would give you a root.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Maybe someone else's husband.

Nope. Hiring manager is out all week, so I am trying not to take it as A Sign That I Suck And Not in the Fun Way.

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

Cremation ashes at Disneyland -- a dusty epidemic

There's an epidemic of covert (human) ash-scattering at Disneyland, a practice that has spread from the Haunted Mansion to the Pirates of the Caribbean. The scatterers generally get away clean, and the human remains are subsequently cleaned away by special janitors who are charged with keeping the Park in compliance with health rules about containing particulate matter.

Just this past Friday a Cast Member watching the security cameras noticed a woman in the back of a boat throwing a powdery substance into the lavishly decorated sets in the cavern scenes near the beginning of the ride. Even though Pirates is a 15 minute long ride, by the time the lady spreading the substance returned to the loading area Security had yet to arrive.

The college age Cast Members operating the attraction knew that legally they were not supposed to detain anyone, and when they confronted her about what she was doing in the cameras she told them she was only throwing baby powder around. The woman quickly disappeared out the exit, never to be seen again, but she'd actually left more than baby powder all over the Pirates of the Caribbean.

Security and the police finally arrived, and the ride was shut down on a busy afternoon of a holiday weekend. The ash was identified by the Anaheim Police as cremated remains, and the custodial department found most of it all over the "Captain's Quarters" scene in the caverns. The woman had done a very thorough job of spreading the ash everywhere though, and after an hour of cleaning with the HEPA vacuums there was still work to be done.

ION, HIlarious Craigslist post:

My fiance and I are getting married next year by a close friend of the family. As part of our pre-marriage counseling, he wants us to write essays on what we love about each other, our plans for the future, what we consider important in a partner, etc. I'm so busy at work, school and helping him write his essay about me -- can you help me put something together?!? I can't afford much, but if your a romantic interested in helping two soul mates spend the rest of their lives together, it's worth it, right? Email me with you're interest...
