I'm sure it's a lovely job and all, but "Wookey Hole" takes me to a very very wrong place.
Bar maid! Bring me stronger ale! And some plump, succulent babies to eat!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
And they check to see if applicants can perform "standard tasks" ... might one of those interviewing be able to say, "she turned me into a newt!"?

That's fabulous, Allyson!
The AJC quotes another great press release today . It's Gorilla Glue's release in response to Zell Miller’s saying that Obama should have Gorilla Glue placed in his Oval Office chair and be told to "sit awhile" and stop "gallivanting."
Gorilla Glue President Peter Ragland said:
"Zell Miller’s recent comments have thrust our product and company into the limelight. While our products are known for being strong and tough, we certainly would not advocate attempting to glue the leader of the free world to his chair."
The release points out that Gorilla Glue, a family-owned company headquartered in Cincinnati, "represents just the type of growing small business that President Obama mentions as the job creators in our country. Gorilla Glue continues to: create new jobs, boast of no lay-offs, provide healthcare for all full-time employees and proudly make all products in the U.S.A."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Speaking of spam, my sister got a variant on the Nigerian scam email, except it was in the name of one of our cousins. I mean, like our cousin (a UK politician) was asking for help with moving large sums of monies involved in charitable donations. It had never occurred to me before that they were using real people, although I knew they used real organisations.
So if you get GREETINGS FROM THE UK HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT, we apologise. I'm pretty damned sure it's not really her, unless things have gone far south for her.

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
Never seen it. No rage involved in this case.
It's more like if Nicholson's character were an easygoing, midwestern, father with a history of couch-flipping.

In other words, incredibly cool.
Okay, not really.

Heh. My immediate superior once tried to order an egg mcmuffin or somesuch at an airport McDonalds and had a surly counter attendant say "Breakfast is OVER!" and then throw the sandwich he was pointing to in the trash rather than sell it to him.
