I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Now tagless for your comfort.

How about Bruno in a pink bodysuit with nipples and a penis?

MY EYES!

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

Trailer: HBO's 'The Pacific'!

At long last, here's the trailer for HBO's "The Pacific," the long-awaited follow-up to Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's beloved WWII war epic "Band of Brothers."

"The Pacific" has reportedly a budget around $200 million which, if correct, would almost certainly make it the most expensive TV project of all time. The new mini has quite a legacy to live up to when it debuts next year. Though its initial post-9/11 run on HBO was relatively lackluster, "Band of Brothers" kept gathering fans as the years passed. Runs on basic cable networks such as History Channel followed. The DVD set for "Brothers" still manages to float into the top ranks of Amazon's best-selling DVDs (and is currently selling great in Blu-ray).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would LOVE to take off and go to Six Flags!! Alas, I can't take off a Friday I'm not already off on short notice.

Also: Someone else married Dr. McDoom! [link]

Basic Instructions seems to have hit the nail on the head.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I don't remember who recommended the Trader Joe's chocolate covered peanut butter pretzels, but curse you. I curse you as I roll myself into the next room.

We picked up just about everything you guys mentioned, I think. Baked cheese crunchies, the pretzels, scones, some cookies, cereal...

Welcome to the cult. (I love the scones. LOVE.)

Wow. Someone here was just so outrageous, we started laughing and laughing because SERIOUSLY.

Short story: person in another department was seen making off with a box of our "extra" stuff. But still our stuff. Boss sends out an email saying we're doing inventory, so if you need any of our stuff (unsaid: for work purposes), let us know. Outrageous coworker writes back with a whole shopping list! Of things there is zero chance that she needs for work!

Heh. I was just wondering this morning if Dana and her husband had managed to stop at TJ's...

And yes, the choc-covered PB pretzels are CRACK. Mmm. Delicious crack.

(Why am I not doing work? Work is open on the computer in front of me, damnit...)

(OK, that guilted me eough to just do work for like, 20 minutes before posting this. Awesome0

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

Jesse - that person needs a straight-up smackdown.

I need to do more work, but there is like zero chance of that at this point. I did clear one work pile already today. YAY ME.

I also did 3 tasks on my personal stuff to-do list, all left over from last week.

Oh yes. My boss was like, "It's just a pet peeve of mine because--" I broke in, "Because it's STEALING?!?!" I mean seriously.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I got the Larger Than I Thought It Would Be volunteer project -- 'Larger' because it involved learning how to make a WordPress theme -- to a point where it should be getting last approvals from the client. I hope!
