It's a great deal of fun to swear in British around the clueless, they think you're being all quaint and PBS-ish.
Then I got a supervisor who had grown up in England . . .

[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.

surreal moment -- watching an old ep of marthat stewart and seeing Martha and Tim Gunn wrapping togas.

I'm going down to the County Clerk's office with a co-worker as she and her partner go to get their marriage license. I'm already getting weepy.

OK, just for the novelty of it, I've refrained from using my seasonal rant for a tag line (if it's tourist season, why can't we shoot them). But! There's one group that I've finally had to send a complaint about.
Tour groups on Segways.
sigh ... these bozos seem to think that they're the only ones on the sidewalk. They zig-zag back and forth, sometimes they bunch up and take up the entire width of the sidewalk. I've had to dodge into the street to keep from being run over by a Segway. And their control isn't the best - you can't always predict which way they're going to go.
Saw one bunch, trying to use a curb cut to get up on the sidewalk, where one person lost control and had to hop off. So everyone else had to stop, some hopped off, then there was this multiple-Segway jam and every single one of them had to wait for the person ahead, get back on, get started up, and then roll up the curb cut to the sidewalk. The problem was, there was a person in a wheelchair stranded in the street, in traffic, waiting for them to all get sorted out and clear the curb cuts so he could get out of traffic.

They were kind of amusing when they first got started. But (1) the novelty's worn off and (2) there are lots more of them and there are more people in each group. And the morons are dangerous!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oh... Happy tears! I wish them happiness.

I saw one of those totally wipe out. I don't know what happened, I was across the street, they were all stationary, I was looking at the traffic. Suddenly, I heard a loud whirr and exclamations, looked over, and a woman was flat on her back on the ground.
