Please let it be me misconfiguring something obvious.

I'm reminded of the time I accidentally deleted an old company's database in a bit of 2 AM tech support. The automatic hitting of Y on "Are you sure?" is a very bad habit, and it leads to several seconds of sincere bartering with the universe that the universe very rarely acknowledges.

This is proof that there is no Devil, because with the number of computer users who say they'll do anything to undo what they've just done, the Devil would be very, very busy.

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

Ten miles later I gleefully told him of my evil, littering ways. Without saying a thing, he turned around, drove ten miles back to the mall parking lot until I found the can and made me throw it into a trash can.

Heh. Go Phil!

Now tagless for your comfort.

connie, I accept your apology. This means I'm going to be running a race on Saturday in freezing rain/snow. I've never run outside before. This does not bode well for me.

It's called "Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed"

In this week's episode of "Chanting outside my office", it sounds like "California Bar--do the right thing!" Anyone know what this is about?

IcompletelyON, if anyone missed last night's Daily Show, make sure you watch it in reruns tonight or this weekend, because it was one of the best episodes I've ever seen! It was all about the economy, with segments concentrating on CNBC (probably as a result of Rick Santelli cancelling on them) and also on the way the media likes to use the Dow Jones Average as a measuring stick on Obama. The interview with the Santelli replacement, a business reporter for one of the NYC papers, was excellent as well--between him and Jon, they did a good job explaining AIG's problems.

It wasn't the funniest show ever (more "laughing to keep from crying," actually), but it was brilliant.

I know that there are hearings on Prop 8 going on today, but I don't know where.

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

I thought I heard that the Prop 8 hearing was in SF, so that's my guess.

Unless they're grading bon's test as we speak.

AIG was actually a good, stable insurance company--it was branching out into the financial sector in mortgage backed securities that caused all the problems. If it weren't for that arm of the company, they wouldn't be in trouble at all.

Hah!

I knew about the Prop 8 stuff, but why would it be the Bar?

Man, it's kind of fun reading the old Apocalypse posts from the Days of Yore.

Indeed. It's really useful to date-track my major life events.
