What about Avery?
I like Shane. Gives new meaning when screaming at him when he's three, "COME BACK, SHANE!"
Oh, God. Oh, God. My hair. My hair! The government gave me bad hair!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I "gave" Avery away, alas. My niece's middle name is Avery thanks to her Auntie's suggestion.

GF and I were doing the old, "I just love Shane..." from the movie.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yorick and Hero are from the (fabulous and wonderful) comic Y the Last Man.
Which I have just recently posted about!

Retreats that management thinks will magically overcome organizational and personnel issues through forced socialization: Not OK.
My experience is this, with varying degrees of excruciating boredom, annoyance and lingering bitterness.

I love me some Y: The Last Man. Even after what they did to 355. Woe.
So I've volunteered for this [link]
Naked... yay?

Woe.
Jars, I seriously could not go on to the next issue for several minutes after that. I thought I was ready a couple times, and then I couldn't do it.

Agreed. Hated to see 355 go.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I'm currently wary of anything in the shape of a retreat because last time we had one--OK, it was on-site, but a long meeting with an outside facilitator to deal with team-building issues--it turned out to be a bait and switch to get someone fired.
But I've yet to go on a work-related retreat that I didn't at least dislike. I don't like enforced team-building and the whole rah-rah cheerleading attitude where I'm supposed to get all glowy-eyed and embrace the mission. I actually like my current organization's mission and am happy to support it, but I don't want to embrace it as such, because this is my JOB, not my LIFE. So attempts to make me a good little team drone just anger me.
