The other asked, “What is Pearl Harbor?”
“That was when the Vietnamese dropped bombs in a harbor, and it started the Vietnam War,” the first man replied.
Jesus. ::weeps for humanity::
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

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.

Hey, we're almost out of Natter.
I am not at work today, but I have hours of grading ahead of me.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I told you all the Fenway bleachers story, right? Where a Korean pitcher, playing for Boston, got heckled (by Boston fans) with:
"Kim! Go back to Pearl Harbor!"
It's like those V-8 commercials where a random passer-by is totally justified in bopping people upside the head.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Fascinating BBC footage of geckos coaxing leafhoppers to feed them honeydew. The lizards tap their feet or bob their heads, and the insect dutifully tosses them a bead of delicious tree sap. This definitely qualifies as bizarre zoology.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, man, tommyrot, that book sounds so very right up my alley, except that I am already appallingly curmudgeonly for someone of my age and station. I'm concerned that if I actually got my hands on the book, my transformation into a surly old retired Victorian headmistress sitting on a horsehair sofa in her large library, pounding her ivory-topped cane on the floor and grumbling, "Lord have mercy on us all, what do they teach them in the schools these days?" would be complete.
I'm so sorry for the ice everywhere and the not-holidays and all, but with a heaping side of sorry for flea and poor sick Dillo painting everything in his immediate environment with snot.

Natter-inos...WAKE UP. Geeesh, less than 50 posts and y'all are asleep. Too many people with the day off? Or are folks actually working?
I'm ready to run screaming from my office. Some people are making work much more complicated than it has to be.

Currently I'm being forced to walk back and forth between my desk and the server room.
I'm compiling a list of free drive space. Exciting!
