I keep getting distracted by Lady Macbeth's dress in that last slide. Not flattering!
Yeah, but that dress would look kinda hot on me, I have to say.
Check out Carcetti (character from the Wire) in the still from the Pinter play!
I'm pretty sure my best friend & husband saw Patrick Stewart in the Tempest at the Globe when they were in England a couple of years ago. Chance of a lifetime!
I'm browsing McSweeney's lists, and come across Lowbrow TV Programming for Linguists. Definitely Buffista-worthy.

Blind Dative.
That wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have to re-enter it every time we make a new internet connection.
OMG, that would make me insane.
Oh, and I accidentally got Olestra chips with my lunch! I didn't think they still had those.
DH wants me to do a polar bear plunge with him this weekend. The man must be insane.
My sister did one of these into the Puget Sound a few January 1sts ago. All I had to say was "Brrrrr..."
IT people seem to forget that one of the cornerstones of good security procedures is not making them overly burdensome. If the task becomes too onerous then the users will find ways to circumvent it and then you have an even bigger security hole. I'm betting that lots of folks on Megan's system have a list of 6 passwords written on a post it in their office somewhere and that they just round robin through them.

Yes, I was the only one that had to do that for awhile. And people here didn't understand why it was so frustrating... And then they got new computers with the new defaults.

I flat out told our IT person that my password was Password with a changing number and that, until I didn't have these ridiculous procedures, I wasn't planning on changing it.
Of course, with me, the bigger burden for someone trying to login as me would be spelling my name.
