Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Newspapers Covering Obama's Inauguration

Images of hundreds of newspapers from around the world - click on a newspaper to embiggen. Unfortunately, the embiggening function doesn't seem to be working - maybe bandwidth issues? But it's still cool to see the hundreds and hundreds of newspapers with the Inauguration on the front page....

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I like that picture too.

What's funny about the technology generation is that with all the incessant coverage of the campaign and festivities for the past years, I kinda expect an Obamacam, where I can put him in the corner of my browser window and, you know, watch democracy happen. Like puppycam, but with leadership.

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

Ooh, want!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Well, you can watch him pulling out some old-time dance moves here, including an old favorite, The Bump.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

"What's he doing? Is he dead?"

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I am scared of squirrels. A friend of mine got attacked by one (he had to go through rabies shots) and I've been approached by aggressive ones. Icky little creatures.

Ack. Black Wednesday here. A whole bunch of layoffs are taking place. Because of the kind of data we work with, people are getting pulled to HR individually and escorted out after they clean up their desks. This is bad. I think I'm OK in terms of not being cut, but the atmosphere around here is going to be awful (and the volume of work is about to go up considerably).

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, ugh, Frank, that's stomach-churning for everyone.


Jesse - Jan 21, 2009 8:00:43 am PST #2838 of 30000
Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Man, layoffs are everywhere. Good luck, Frank.

Good one!

The pictures from the inauguration from people I know are KILLING ME. It turns out I know some fancy people!

Oh, ugh, Frank, that's stomach-churning for everyone.

That describes how I'm feeling perfectly. The adrenaline rush from the dread is not helping.
