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.

This is the snark I want to see in a tv host.
All they need is to give you a consultant with the basic facts and a microphone.
I might actually have to obtain my first tv in 15 years for this one!
I want to build a death-ray
HEY - transporter was supposed to come first. Then we use the death-ray for instant smiting.

Okay, but they didn't have a transporter in the Electronic Gadgets for the Evil Genius book.
What I was thinking is that I build the death ray and then incorporate parts of it into the transporter...I mean we gotta break the victim "object to be transported" down to its component sub-atomic particles anyway...
It's not just science, it's efficient science!!

Maybe that should be my picture submission, though they did ask for one from within the past six months...

I was going to link you to the Greenzo episode, and I ended up watching it all the way through. For the ninth time, I think. Still laughed MAO. [link]
