Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

“Not dead yet!”

Lean Cuisine for lunch = feh.

Made a bit more palatable however, by the fact that I am enjoying one square of Ghirardelli Extreme Dark w/ a touch of vanilla.

Coding and Sleeping

I sort of want to go out and get something for lunch to see if my speedometer is working ok. I figure this isn't a good reason.

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

I think I shall have salmon for lunch, at The Olive Mountain (that Middle Eastern place in Evanston that Teppy liked).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Mmmmmm, Olive Mountain. They may possibly have the world's best hummus.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

From the Surveys That Never Needed To Be Taken file:

Would you be interested in coming back to work on your time off to attend a staff talent show? Y/N

Note lack of a "Bwah!!" option.

Yeah, it's the best I've ever had....

Oh, I forgot to impart this bit of good news: Last Friday, a clown gave me a stress ball.

The clown was working for a bank. Maybe that's the solution to the banking crisis - an army of bank clowns, spreading bright orange stress balls all across the country, like wacky Johnny Appleseeds....

Now that this has hit the wires, I guess it is ok to share: [link]

These are cool: Vintage poison labels. It's hard to pick a favorite. Insectodeth? Sugar of Lead? Graves' Pectoral Compound?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Would you be interested in coming back to work on your time off to attend a staff talent show? Y/N

That totally beats the survey we got about would we want to travel more or less than an hour for our "staff outing" this year. We ended up not having one at all....
