Funny cause it's true. On the advantages of the home office:
When you work from home, nobody can hear you issuing death threats. So at least I've got that going for me, which is nice.

...when I walk away from the internet and then walk back, the wrong comment is still there, in all its wrongness. I need new coping strategies.
sj My coping mechanism on Facebook is to hide the message from my feed immediately.
quester that's how I deal with spiders.
billytea But it's only a temporary fix. It'll still be there, lurking on the web.
And Jilli draws her line on attractiveness:
Fangs don't trump depression and wearing a wig made of dead possums, apparently.

I'll have to work on a stern and steely gaze to accompany the statement, "Of COURSE this is business casual. Please note that it's an underbust corset."

A stern and steely gaze sounds like the perfect accessory for any work party.
I'd say for this one that we don't need no stinkin' context, except that llamas might be extinct by then for all I know. But when we are celebrating Internet Freedom Day lo these many years down the road, we should remember:
Susan W in Natter:
My two favorite comments on the llama and dress weirdness of yesterday's internet, both pulled from Twitter:
Biden: WOOO FREE INTERNET
Obama: Joe, would you cut it-
Biden: SET LOOSE THE LLAMAS
Obama: CAN YOU JUST-
Biden: RELEASE NANA'S TRICK DRESS
And also:
"...and that kids, is how February 26th became National Internet Day, and why we decorate llamas in white and gold"
To which someone immediately responded:
"Yeah, but dad... Some of the kids in my class decorate their llamas in blue and black."
flea: I just learned that the kicker for the Patriots has a 5 year old son named SLAYDEN.
Tom: Also, a 7 year old named KILLGORE and a 3 year old named MAIMIE.
Jessica: So basically, they're breeding a death metal band?
Matt the Bruins Fan, in Natter:
Okay marketing people, "Rock Me like a Hurricane" is not a good choice of song to go with Fiber One cookies. I do not want to be living out the Colon Blow cereal commercial.
Sophia Brooks: I read on Jezebel that there is a homeless shelter in Alaska called "Glory Hole". I feel like people need to hire me as a double entendre consultant, which is m true calling. I could have saved the JCPenny customers from Scuzzy, the Vibrating Beaver, or possibly stopped the Vegetti.

I'm not currently in danger of clawing anyone's face off.

It's sad when we measure our days by this. I'm just at the point of clawing eyes out. The rest of the face is on notice. Open your conspiracy-loving piehole one more time and I'll stuff your epidermis in it. Don't tempt me....
