I love this church sign.

Come in and Worship "God"

I wonder what they are really worshiping there.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Is it just me, or does Saxby Chambliss sound like a name made up for a bad faux-Austen novel?

If only he were a fiction.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

If only he were a fiction.

I'd settle for him losing.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I wonder what they are really worshiping there.

I'm thinking "mammon"? Or possibly "home schooling"?

(No offense intended to the home-schooled present -- we can see the competence of your teachers. I am confident your Mom never taught you about Jesus Horses.)

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Since we were quoting from "Overheard in the Office" the other day, and since I get the feeling some people could use a bit of distraction - "Overheard at the Beach"

Busty tan blonde in yellow bikini, surrounded by 8 beautiful gay men drinking champagne and smoking pot: I mean, we should really just take a picture of this, and put it on a postcard: "Welcome to Venice Beach, bitches."

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

NYCistas - someone in my office just asked me if I know anyone who would be interested in a receptionist/office manager job at an architect firm in Manhattan. If you or someone you know are interested send me your information and I will pass it on. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE SALARY OR THE PERSONALITIES involved.

OMG, this one team I've been working with since spring is making me mental! What do I have to do to get them to comprehend the meaning of "FINAL VERSION." I'm maybe a third of the way through after a month. I do not want to redo that third because they cannot comprehend the meaning of FINAL.

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

Lots of asscaps. Deep breaths, people, deep breaths.

I think I shall have pancakes for lunch today, when lunchie time rolls around. And then go back to paperwork. My apartment looks like Levenger's exploded in it, but with less leather.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

We're currently having a bit of controversy about some ads - they're from the humanist society (lower-cased because I'm not sure of the exact name and I'm too lazy to check). Anyway, they've bought space on the sides of the buses. They read "You don't have to believe in a god. Be good for goodness' sake." Some people are outraged, most just want their bus to come (yes, some prayer may be involved).

Brief story here.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Hmm.

Giving up your seat for a pregnant woman? Ethical. Eating a french fry in a Metro station? Unethical. Holding a Metro train's doors open until they break, thus forcing everyone to be offloaded? Stone him!

I'm not sure the second is unethical. Against the rules, yes. There's a difference.
