It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

organized pillow fight at a downtown park.

The bout was part of a worldwide event organized on social networking Web sites.

So THAT'S what that was! Our neighborhood's e-mail newsletter had a one-line cryptic note that said "Pillow fight, 2 p.m. Saturday, [name] Park. Bring your own pillow."

I googled it, but I was really specific in my search terms, using "pillow fight" and the name of the park. Which explains why I didn't find anything about the worldwide event.

(No, I didn't participate.)

Someone here in my section is eating something that smells amazingly good with garlic in it. Oh, my, am I craving garlic bread right now!

interesting how you never hear of flash-mop clean-ups or facebook/myspace organized hipster trash removal with synchronized ipod soundtrack.

We should totally do that. With loud music. Like a dance-a-clean-a-thon.

A co-worker went to the LA pillow fight. I have no interest in a pillow fight with strangers. Sounds like my idea of a nightmare. Kind of like Cuddle Parties (shudder), which another co-worker attends [link]

Weird co-workers!

Okay, so I'm having job-change angst. Should I? Should I not? What do I dooooo?

It'll be fine either way, right? I mean, no matter which choice I make, it's not going to be totally tragic.

...unless it ends up with me being non-continued again...

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

You'll probably be cited for a noise violation.

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 think the pillow fight issue is that, if pillows break open and feathers fly out, they're an enormous pain to clean up. Usually for big gatherings, cleanup costs are absorbed by permit costs, but something like this doesn't have a permit, usually.

The invite specified non-feather pillows for that very reason.

so with you on that having no appeal for me whatsoever, but I am so much more disturbed that you know about a co-worker attending. BOUNDARIES people! why would a co-worker need to share that?

Eventually I'm going to go to a Cuddle Party and report back just to watch a dozen of you squeal.

Which, true, may not be in the spirit of Cuddle Parties...
