Skipping (yeah, even the few Sunday-of-a-F2F posts, sigh) to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Steph L's birthday.
Happy birthday, Teppy! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Hippo Birdies, Steph!
Too bad about George Carlin, who secured a prominent place in media history without ever starring in a movie or having his own TV show that I know of, and did so much to provoke discussion about the First Amendment while being truly, truly funny.

not your mom's socks.
sarameg - not lisah but how about: holy frijoles, goldenwest, henningers (a little pricey), or downtown some of the Indian places are great and the afghan restaurant The Helmand has the best pumpkin appetizer on the planet (some dishes are cheap some not), donnas has good entrees for not much money. We also like one eyed mikes a lot but you need to enter through the bar and some of the entrees are expensive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, Steph!
Oh, Kat -- I saw a kid the other day who looked just like Noah, except 3 or 4. Maybe it was just the hair, but I don't think so.
Also, I got 27/30 on that quiz. Not bad.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPH!!!!

I love George Carlin. I've been watching since he was on the Flip Wilson show. That's a hard one for me to take. He stayed funny for a much longer time than any of his peers.
I caught his last special for HBO, and he was still funny as shit. I will miss those semi-annual events for sure.
I remember him doing the Hippy Dippy Weatherman (was that Wilson, or was that all the way back to the Smothers Brothers?) as the first time I saw him. Then my sister played a record of his for me (when my parents were out). It was the one with "7 words you can't say on television". Hilarious.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The experts all said to let the baby put one handful of sand in her mouth, and she'll spit it out and not try it again.
Uh-huh. Spoken like a group of "experts" with no children of their own.
I'm not sure about sand, but I was eating dirt in the backyard up until I was at least 9 or 10. I just liked the taste.

27/30 on the quiz. Would have been 28 if I'd read the First Amendment question right.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
pretty decent for a Monday morning so far. Doing a lot the night before is so key to having a smooth morning. We got out early for a monday and I got 2 errands done before getting on the subway.
Now to see if I can swing the rest of the day being so productive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I made it in on time, but now I feel trapped in my office -- I have to walk by the big glass wall of our conference room to get anywhere, and there's a board meeting in there. I have to pee! I guess I can walk by once.
