I'm part French, (except for the part where my grandfather became a Canadian) it works for me!
That means we also get St-Jean Baptiste! (Well, next year anyway.) Whoot!

Punishingly Intricate
My friend just gave notice at the soul-sucking evil law firm she's been working at as a receptionist/admin person for the last five years (for example, the other day one of the partners said, about a woman with tremendous qualifications who they'd interviewed for a position there, "She'd be pretty if she lost 25 lbs." and they didn't hire her). So, as one small act of rebellion my friend is sending me some potato salad today via the courier service they contract with. Thank you, Evil Lawyers!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's like Les Nessman and the godless tornadoes.
Heh.
That and the non-flying turkeys are the two funniest episodes of that show.

SM, a friend from college days, draws my attention to this gem:
Australia's top treasury official is taking five weeks leave to look after endangered wombats.
Ken Henry, treasury secretary and animal conservationist, has warned that hairy-nosed wombats are "on death row".
But opposition politicians - and even wombat lovers - question if now is the time to be thinking about wombats.
Inflation is at a 16-year high, interest rates are up and fuel prices are rising. Mr Henry will also miss a central bank meeting.
Mr Henry will be looking after 115 hairy-nosed wombats in an isolated spot in northern Queensland, with no mobile phone coverage and two-and-a-half hours on a rough track from the nearest town.
"There are 10 times as many giant pandas in the world as there are these guys," said Mr Henry.
The opposition isn't sure this is a great idea even though, in what must be one of the lines of the year, Brendan Nelson acknowledges that "I think we all love the hairy-nosed wombat."

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Hey Lisah, is this a big Baltimore firm?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
re Les Nessman et al. - I still hear echoes of the first episode when Howard Hesseman's character, being told that the format is changing and he'll have more freedom, blasts Cincinnati with some rock music and then leans into the microphone and says "bugger" (actually, I think it was "buggahhhhhhhhh")

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I'm assuming he's a relative of billytea.
