The big ticker-tape parade goes right past my office this morning.
I used to be able to see the route from my old office, but nsm today. And the firm hasn't made any arrangements to open up conference rooms where you can see it, which is annoying.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Natter 56: ...we need the writers.
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.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Also, I had to explain to someone yesterday what ticker tape was. She had never heard the term until yesterday! Boggle.

Um, I've heard of it. Still have no idea what it is.

I like candy and chips, but it's short-term happiness. Very quickly, I become unhappy about it (because I always eat just that little bit too much). You know what makes my body happy? Tortillas and beans. With salty, oily tortillas and fried eggs and salt all over everything... mmmm. Happy tummy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Another example at how fucked polls are....
For CA, Reuters has Obama over Clinton, 49% to 36%
Survey USA has Clinton over Obama, 52% to 42%.

Yeah, I've found this to be true myself. Then I tend to crave more healthy type foods to balance it out.

From the old stock market "ticker tape" machines....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Um, I've heard of it. Still have no idea what it is.
Do a Google image search of "ticker tape parade". It's awesome.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Happy Mardi Gras, y'all.

Ticker tape.
I wonder how much one of those would go for... it'd be cool to have one. You could connect it to a computer and have it print... whatever.
