Oh, and did you know that if you mail a postcard of a beautiful and/or scantily-clad woman, a postal worker will pin it up at his workstation for a few weeks to look at before sending it on?

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

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I wish the national costumes looked more like my China Dolls from Around the World... These are hysterical, though.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Miss France's evening gown looks suspiciously like certain sorbets I've had. Mango/strawberry, maybe?

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Hivemind question: I don't know if it was a movie or a TV show, but I recall a plot where the hero had to save a bus full or people (most like women and children) from a warlike situation in the third world (possibly somewhere in Africa). This was probably sometime in the 90s.
Does anyone know what I am remembering? Did I dream it?
Thanks.

Timelies all!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This is not actually an evening gown. I'm not sure what the plan was.
Ugh. I have so little food at home. But I really want to go home and straight to bed with this head. Just have to hold out one more workday. As things stand if I go to the ER tonight I'll probably not be able to make it into the office tomorrow, and I've already worked from home once this very long week.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
All of those outfits are hilarious.
Somewhat relatedly, I'm watching the Legally Blonde Broadway try-out reality show, and I'm so glad to see that Kate Schindle is in the cast. I remember when, at the end of her year as Miss America, she moved to NYC and got a waitressing job, because she wanted to be an actress. Good for her!
Someone actually reads the paper edition of The Observer?
Pat Kiernan, at least!
Do any of these people have children in daycare? Because much as I'd love a 4-day work week, I just couldn't do this. Add in commute time, and the daycare just isn't open long enough for me to work a 10-hour day.
That's the thing that seems so crazy to me. Even if you work out the drop-off/pick-up, don't parents want to see their kids in the evenings?

It looks like they are all wearing the same swimsuit, just in different pastel colors. And whose idea was it for them to be lying in the water.
