My whole family, being big drinkers, dropped Tylenol like a hot potato when the news about its potential for liver damage came out, back in the day. We gotta have our priorities in order.

Oh I so hear you on that. If I need a sleep aid plus a pain killer (which with my recurring joint ailments, I sometimes do), I used to take ibuprofen and benadryl, and now I just take Advil PM which combines them for you.

Awww, thanks Nilly!

Now I'm thinking of Allyson's bat link again...

I had to explain, "I HAVE YOUR KEYS! YOU MUST CHILL!" the other day.

And I had to explain who Edward Gorey was.

I really need a new job. Where I work with Jilli.

YES. YES YOU NEED TO WORK WITH ME. Then we could talk about bats! And makeup! And how we need to smite the morons!

I actually think what gives me a headache most of the time is going between the laptop screen and the tv screen for hours on end. So I could maybe not do that, too.

I was getting headaches every day for a couple of weeks before I figured out the cause was having two monitors at work and switching between them all day long. I went back to one monitor and headaches disappeared.

Favorite word of the day for sure!!!!

"Holy whores, Batman! Now that you've got Catwoman tied up, what are you going to do?"

"I have no choice, Robin, old chum. I'm going to have to use...the Bat-Junk."

"Wowee, Batman! Can I watch?"

"Go sit in the Batmobile, Robin."

"Aww..."

"I SAID GO!"

oh! oh! billytea! you know what else came up in the show about cuttlefish? There's the Flamboyant Cuttlefish - when it's threatened it kind of puffs up and gets bright yellow markings (since it's only about three inches long, it doesn't puff up very large). Anyway, some scientists were curious as to whether it did that because it was poisonous or if it wanted predators to think it was poisonous. So they found a female who'd recently laid her eggs (since she wasn't long for this world) and tested her. She's toxic; on a level with the blue-ringed octopus. Australia scores yet another poisonous critter. yay?

Huh. That's not how I remember that story ending.

So I watched part of the US/Korea baseball game at lunch. The Korean pitcher would do this sorta' sideways throw... what's up with that?

Really? I have no words for this trainwreck of a movie.

The crowd at Heritage got to see a trailer and a few minutes of clips 24 hours before either of them will be generally released. I’m a huge fan of the Zucker-Leslie Nielsen canon, and not much of a fan of Zucker’s ads for Republicans. The footage we saw floated somewhere in the middle of those two projects, quality-wise. Fat-assed Malone travels to Cuba, pledges to destroy America, and takes advantage of the invisibility granted by ghost status by grabbing a protestor’s boobs. Bill O’Reilly appears out of nowhere to slap him. “I just like doing that,” he says. Terrorists led by everybody’s favorite pockmarked tough guy Robert Davi bitch that they’re low on suicide bombers ("All the good ones are gone!") and all answer to the name Mohammed. In a scene that Sokoloff described, but didn’t bring, Patton and his soldiers storm a courthouse that’s about to remove the Ten Commandments and start opening fire on the people trying to stop them. “You can’t shoot these people!” Malone says. “They’re not people!” says Patton. “They’re the ACLU!” At this point we see that the ACLU members are unkillable George Romero zombies.
