You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

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

Is a 3 inch pancake 3 inches in radius or 6? 3, right?

3 inches in thickness, so 8.23 feet in diameter.

ION, a client sent me a printout of a report. I printed it, not realizing the whole thing was 47 pages. Now I feel guilty for killing .0682% of a tree....

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

A 3" pancake to me means 3" in diameter. Smaller than that is "dollar size." Normal size for me is 4" to 6" diameter. Size usually depends on how many people I am making for, and whether I am playing with shapes.

If it makes you feel better it was probably a tree from a tree farm rather than a free range tree.

3" is a silver dollar pancake IMO.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Der. I meant diameter where I said radius. It's too early, and the residual dilaudid obviously is higher than I though.

The recipe I usually make says "Serves 3 to 4 (about 8 3-inch pancakes)" and I get 3.5 sensibly sized pancakes out of it. And by sensible I mean about 6" diameter. I don't get the disparity between the recipe and my breakfast.

Which today will be pancakes because I'm out of the good cereal.

I have taken off my shoe so I can sit on one foot to warm it up. My legs were aching because my feet got so cold.

puppylink?

Found it [link]

If it says "Off Air" at the bottom does that really mean "off air" or do I need to update Flash?

Also, if you haven't seen Steven Colbert work out who the next president will be via word association, you really really should.

I was laughing sooo hard at this! He's been really funny all week, but this was the best bit from the whole week.

(Also also: in the middle of it he calls himself Colber t with a hard T. Don't think I've ever seen him do that before.)

He does that when he's scolding himself for screwing something up. It's a great little touch to his "Stephen" character.
