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

I'm so disappointed, reading the NYTimes reviews of the SmartCar--they're all negative. And not in ways that you can be like "Oh, they just don't appreciate it" but like "It only gets 30ish mpg" and "it shifts like ass". Dang. But I totally agree that it ought to be getting mad gas mileage.

I've read one review that complained about the mileage. The review mentioned that you could get a Toyota (the smallest model) for less money that got better gas mileage and had seating for four instead of two....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Flash has disappeared from my work PC's Firefox, thus rendering Scrabulous unplayable!

Why, Corporate IT, why??

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Why why why do I still think, "ah, cigarettes..."?

Because smoking is cool.

I went to Whole Foods at lunch - MADHOUSE. At least I was just buying fish, not actually trying to get lunch there.

I have kind of been eating all morning - 9:30 oatmeal, 11:00 half of yogurt, 1:00 avocado half wrap and smoked salmon half wrap, now rest of yogurt.

I still have a chicken breast with salsa and an apple to go while at work.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Only 50% of users are between 18 and 49 -- which means a large chunk of the under-18 set is picking up lolspeak when they should be learning English.

Have they thought that maybe a lot of the other 50% are people over 49? Hmmm?

And if they're all concerned over the future of the English language, they should be reminded that the ubiquitous "O.K." is from a brief fad of language mauling back in the 1830s, when newspaper columnists decided to use acronyms for cutesy hick sayings/spellings that they'd make up. "O.K." was short for "Oll Korrect," a spelling that nobody, including hicks, would use, but the elitists thought it was hilariously rube-ish.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I think you actually have to have a decent grasp of English to write a good LOLcat. That's why they're funny.

Oh no!!

Quick, find some legitimate work site you need that requires Flash and tell them to reinstall!

Ugh -- one of my top candidates for the job I'm trying to fill just let me know she has another offer, and they want an answer this week. I have to do a second round of interviews with higher-ups, so I totally can't give her an answer any time soon. I bet she takes the other job. Bah!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
