Just the idea that because you receive government aid, you automatically forfit your rights is seriously twisted.

New rule: Anyone clamoring for welfare/SS recipients to get drug tested must also agree to CEOs of corporations who receive "tax incentives" to get piss tested and take a lie detector test.

They probably need it more, anyways. That was three months ago and I'm still mad about it. That's why I couldn't really be Keith Olbermann's girlfriend. I'd wear him out responding to my personal hit list(and I don't mean porn.)

You haven't watched 30 Rock, have you?

Mm, nope. I seem to keep forgetting the half hour comedy format exists. It is a sitcom, isn't it?

Well, I suppose I could put together some sort of bio/resume ("Qualifications: Smartass Dork") and get someone to take a picture of me and try.

You would SO rock reality tv...like unto rocking actual reality.

It would be the final declaration of the geeks shall inherit the earth.

Shall? Dude. Miracleman is on your teevee. Check it. The wait is over. The geeks HAVE inherited the earth, with a Bwah and a Bwahaha.

Go for it!

I was asking because Tiny Fey's writing is nothing like the Farrelly Brothers-- she doesn't do gross-out stuff, though she does do sight gags. I would recommend catching up on the show, since it's the funniest one on TV. It's on Hulu.

Actually, the final straw was the car pacing me to make sure I couldn't make my lane change and turn as signalled, on an empty street, even when I stayed put through a green light.

See, that's way more actively hostile than Bostonians usually have the patience for. Most of the infractions I see/experience are of the "Mine! Mine! Get the fuck outta the way!" variety. Sorry you had to be the recipient of the Boston driving gift-with-purchase.

As for the street layout, maybe 16th century cows have it in for you.

ION, I just used the phrase "we were so open-minded our brains fell out" in a team building exercise at work today.

Ms. Fey might be a marvellous writer writing a character that gives me hives. My takeaway from the first trailer I saw was a vehement wish that the surrogate's jaw be dislocated by a bitchslap. Even if I'm not supposed to like her, that's too much reaction on my part.

I have meant to have a look--just keep getting distracted.

Man, I'd have to dig up my (very old) performance resume. Haven't done anything for a couple years.

I could mention my four minutes or so on that one G4 show.

"Science Qualifications: I know that most of Star Trek is horseshit. I've read Cryptonomicon seven gajillion times and it keeps getting funnier every. Single. Time. I read it. I go to SF cons and have even attended a panel. Once or twice. I once taught myself the very basics of fusion while bored at work. I designed a spaceship for a game. It uses steam and some very hand-wave-y application of the not-taken-seriously-at-all-by-any-scientists-that-I-am-aware-of 'electro-gravitic' drive as first theorized by P. Townsend Brown, who may have been a wack-job. Someone gave me a book called 'Electronic Gadgets for the Evil Genius', and I want to build a death-ray, but I haven't had the time. I can fix my lawnmower and install a garbage disposal and a light switch.

Danger Qualifications: Get me drunk and dare me, I'll probably do it."

shooooiee! All caught up now, sorta. Natter took off yesterday afternoon. Didn't get the memo!

Hilton Ave.

aha - so how many Tribune Sun reporters even know where that is? I'd like to see Sally Th. from channel 13 try a live shot from there. I can't believe no one is reporting on it.

peeing in the sink

cracked me up too - from the perspective of OMGmustpeepregnantWTFit'sLOCKED? more than dumb&dumber.

oh this day.
