GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I can hear the teenager sound. It threatened to give me a headache. I played it for the GF and she actually froze in pain for the second it took me to turn it back off.

So I don't see it as being a very good plan for businesses that actually want business.

I started hearing the descending tone at 17.

The GF is utterly amazed I can still hear this stuff considering how loudly I play my music in the car.

Aims, we had a move a few years ago and let me second (third? fourth?) the numbered sticker recommendations. Another thing our moving company did that helped was they provided big plastic bins, with wheels, that you could fill up with stuff and then slap your number on. No hunting for boxes, no disposing of boxes afterwards, they had a catch so they wouldn't pop open, and they were big enough to hold a lot of stuff

While I've never planned a move, I've participated in quite a few and this seems to work the best. I'd recommend having your IT people disconnect the computers at the desks and re-connect them once they're at their destination. (At the very least they won't be able to blame anyone else for doing it wrong.)

At the currently company, when we do large-scale building-to-building moves, everyone gets a sheet of labels with a number on it and sticks them to their boxes, their PC, monitor, etc. We then disconnect their computers and place the keyboards, mice, cables and phones in a giant plastic bag with their number on it so there is no chance of it getting separated.

ION, everyone in my dept at work was asked to submit a brief, bullet-point description today of what their responsibilities/current projects are for review by the company owner sometime in the next week or so.

I have a very bad feeling about this. (And I don't really find the explanation of "She just wants to get up to speed on what our department is doing" very reassuring.)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I started hearing the descending tone at 17.

By curious coincidence, that's roughly the age at which I started transmitting the condescending tone.

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

There needs to be a website one can quickly check to see if a particular wacky right-wing Christian website is a parody or not. Anyway, supposedly this is real - From the folks at Passion for Christ Movement - P4CM.com, P4CM PRESENTS "EX-MASTURBATOR" CAMPAIGN

Yeah we said it….Nobody talks about it, but most people have done it or are still doing it. It's seems to be a rite of passage for both girls and guys into the world of sex. Some say masturbation is not a sin, some say that it is. But is it really okay in the eyes of God?
Check out "P4CM TV" as people from the movement give you some live, uncut, behind the scenes footage of The Movement. Get an inside look of what goes down after church. In this episode we discuss the new Ex-Masturbator shirt.

When God wants to take His message of deliverance across the globe, there is NO stopping Him. Check out this feature of the EX Shirts on one of the fastest growing Christian Hip Hop magazines in the US: www.DaSouth.com. Also, hit up their new article, "Masturbation" It breaks down the lies behind masturbation, explains how this is actually a sin, and how we can be freed through Christ.

And if you need even more encouragement, check out ya girl Dameco's latest blog entry, in which she fearlessly testifies to her struggle and victory over masturbation!

We pray that you will join us in breaking the silence on an issue that has stayed silent for too long. Be the first to boldly rock your Ex-Masturbator shirt and let's change the world baby! Click below on one of the pictures to order your shirt.

Feel free to share your thoughts, testimony or any other comments with us.

I should go to bed. Instead of posting this:

The person behind the Save the Tree Octopus! YouTube channel has made an exciting find -- actual video of Octopus paxarbolis in the wild:

Tree Octopus Caught On Tape! (And A Poem)

...

Speaking of the Crystal Palace's octopus, here's an 1872 ode to it written by Arthur Clement Hilton (under the pen-name "Algernon Charles Sin-burn") in parody of Swinburne's "Dolores":

The poem is pretty good too....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Huh. So The Simpsons has been renewed for two more seasons which means it will break the record of 20 seasons held by Gunsmoke.

But Law and Order has been on for nineteen seasons, so could conceivably overtake it if the Simpsons went off the air.

And both shows are in syndication incessantly.

It just seems weird that in these days of market fragmentation that the longevity record will be broken by two largely contemporaneous, but vastly dissimilar shows.

sarameg, the house you linked to above is listed in its last assessment record as having 840 sq/ft of living space.

If you have a certain piece or pieces of furniture you need to take with you, measure them before you go -- they may rule places out (this happened with our vintage dining room table, that we weren't going to get rid of). Also, you'll be surprised at how many places you walk into and think, "there's nothing wrong here, but I can't picture myself in this space."

Wow. That house could be almost as long as three football fields, if it were one story and one foot wide inside.
