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

Don'cha hate it when you forget something at work and it ends up costing your company a billion dollars?

Price to PepsiCo for Not Being in Court: $1.26 Billion

What's the cost of not showing up to court? For PepsiCo Inc., it's a $1.26 billion default judgment. A Wisconsin state court socked the company with the monster award in a case alleging that PepsiCo stole the idea to bottle and sell purified water from two Wisconsin men.

Now the company is scrambling to salvage the situation. The damages award was handed down on Sept. 30. PepsiCo filed motions to vacate the order and dismiss the claims on Oct. 13, saying it wasn't even aware of the lawsuit until Oct. 6.

...

In court papers, PepsiCo claims it first received a legal document related to the case from the North Carolina agent on Sept. 15 when a copy of a co-defendant's letter was forwarded to Deputy General Counsel Tom Tamoney in PepsiCo's law department. Tamoney's secretary, Kathy Henry, put the letter aside and didn't tell anyone about it because she was "so busy preparing for a board meeting," PepsiCo said in its Oct. 13 motion to vacate.

Umm... oops?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I can't find them easily, though.

Costplus carries them, at least around here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They lowercased my name in the computer systems at work! I was going to try and let it slide, but it's been too long. I can't bear looking at it. I'm not sure I'm ready to tell my boss or anything, but it's good that Outlook knows how to spell me.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'd hate to have her performance review.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

On the bright side, I imagine she can expect a bonus from the Coca Cola board of directors any day now.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Cost Plus World Market has a dark chocolate with sea salt bar that is currently my OTCB. YUMMY.

There's a local chocolate bar maker who makes these. And I second your YUMMY.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I keep hearing about chocolate-covered caramels with sea salt, and I feel that I *must* try them.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I love Trader Joe's dark chocolate almonds with sea salt.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Mmmmm! I just at a black and white cookie (going-away present!), but now I want those almonds.
