It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm thinking about the people they support, the people they employ, the effect on the industries that rely on them.
While not a Corporate Fat Cat, I have decided it's my duty as a still-employed person to do all the normal things like buy clothes and get my nails done and occasional massages and stuff like that -- I still have the income I had last year, and am not likely to lose my job (knock wood), so why start hoarding away my money at the expense of the service workers?

I'm going to take that logic one step further and say that it is my patriotic duty as an American to replace my cheap piece-of-shit Cablevision DVR with a Series 3 Tivo.

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

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Also, if you've been making the kind of money where a cut to 500k is an outrage and you don't have enough together to weather the storm, well? My tiny violin is in the shop.
a thousand times this.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Also on board with the "no sympathy for those who think $500,000 a year is outrageously small" wagon. If the company is in such bad shape that it has to lay off large numbers of lower-level employees, then the higher-ups that made the bad decisions to put the company in bad shape should also be cutting back.
