I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

I kind of loved Marion Cotillard's dress even if it was fish scaley.

I agree -- but I think it had a lot to do with the woman who was wearing it. She wore the dress, it didn't wear her, etc., etc.

Someone please tell the people who work for me that I'm not going to chase down information for them -- if you want to go to a conference, spell out to me what it's going to cost. If you make me do it, I might accidentially on purpose forget to budget a hotel room for you.

So. Frelling. Gronked. Send help.

That is all.

I join you in the gronk, Frankenbuddha.

Tell me, o Buffistas -- if I have the ick AND I get 6 sick days, of which I have taken exactly none, is this a good time to take a day off?

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

What are the reasons not to, in your book? There must be some I'm not seeing.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I don't think I am gronked from the Oscars. I think I am gronked from a body in revolt. My head is on day 3 of being all foggy and resulting in me being spaced out.

what the hell is wrong with people. I mean, when I do that kind of thing, I do a specific budget, link to the conference website, etc. You have to make it easy for your boss to give you the money!

Er... I feel guilty when I call in sick? Also, what I don't use now I can use later, when I get the ginormous ick! Or... something...

Mostly I feel guilty. Particularly because, in contrast to San Francisco's gigantic automated system, here I have to actually talk to a guy who will then call a bunch of people individually to ask them if they want to sub tomorrow. It's a much more personal sort of thing, and you know how I hate personal things.

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

Is/are there any Buffista(s) who own(s) a current-generation Prius?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Tommy- I don't own one, but I drive one through zipcar quite a bit. Not sure if that helps
