The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

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.

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 wish I could bring my cat to work. Of course, that would require me to drive, and she'd probably just end up sleeping on my lap the whole day....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm glad the NYTimes used their endorsement of John McCain to remind people about what a terrible person Rudy Giuliani is. Never forget! [link]

PS: The Times has the Australian Open situation on their front page.

ION, being gone for two days made me forget about how the spacebar on my computer here doesn't work all that well. Annoying!

Neato.

A biofuel startup in Illinois can make ethanol from just about anything organic for less than $1 per gallon, and it wouldn't interfere with food supplies, company officials said.
[...]
May Wu, an environmental scientist at Argonne National Laboratory, says Coskata's ethanol produces 84 percent less greenhouse gas than fossil fuel even after accounting for the energy needed to produce and transport the feedstock. It also generates 7.7 times more energy than is required to produce it. Corn ethanol typically generates 1.3 times more energy than is used producing it.

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

I like the usage of "situation" here. It makes it sound like we need to scramble a response team. Perhaps find Jack Bauer and dig up SpyDaddy.

hip deep in pie

I am distracted. cannot focus on work!

I feel like this is permanent state for me. The week after next, I am supposed to "Work from home". I have no idea how I'm going to get anything done.

I wish I could bring my cat to work.

Me too. But since we're not even supposed to eat at our desks here, I can't imagine how they would react to live animals.

I'm blaming mine on my meds. Which is why I was up working at 5.

Did you guys catch any of the other men's semi?

Because that was an excellent match.

Well, that's very sensible. Imagine all the hair you'd ingest if you were eating at a live animal--not to mention the dramatically increased risk of spillage.
