It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I always thought that the amount of stupid in Blazing Saddles outweighed the funny.

We had a long conversation one night about Which Mel Brooks Movie Is Your Favorite? For me, Young Frankenstein always wins, but just barely.

ION, I'm on day 4 of a really bad cold (although the porcupine that was living in my throat seems to have departed), and it looks like I'm not going to make it in to work at all this week, between being sick, using vacation time, and the holiday.

I'd normally call that a win, but I'd definitely trade this cold for a day of work. Bah. We're supposed to go out to the jazz club tomorrow night with out-of-town friends, and I keep trying to make bargains with my immune system, like "Just let me feel well enough to go, and I promise I won't hang out with smokers and I'll get more sleep!"

I don't know how open to bargaining my immune system is, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I haven't gotten a work-related email since mid-day yesterday. Good think the office is actually closed tomorrow through Monday...

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

For me, Young Frankenstein always wins, but just barely.

It's good, it's very very good, but nothing can match the demented magnificence of the original, non-musical Producers.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's good, it's very very good, but nothing can match the demented magnificence of the original, non-musical Producers.

I gotta go with JZ on this one.

I've honestly never made it far enough into Blazing Saddles to understand why it's supposed to be funny. To each his own, I guess.

So much this.

I've honestly never made it far enough into Blazing Saddles to understand why it's supposed to be funny. To each his own, I guess.

And this.

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

Yes these Twilight & Twilight Saga: New Moon Sweethearts Forbidden Fruits “conversation heart” candies are real. In fact you can buy them online if you can’t resist the temptation.

OMG so lazy. I was going to go exchange my boots today, and possibly have dinner at a friend's semi-close to the boot store, but I didn't really want to. So I was relieved when she said she's probably going to have to work late. And then I was even more glad to check the forecast and see it's supposed to be warm all weekend, so by the time I make that trek, there should be less snow and ice to deal with.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

these 2 stacks of paper are so clearly NOT going to get done today. Not that I am getting anything else really done either.

I remembered a 5-second task I was supposed to do, so did that... I'm saving my 5-minute task for next week.
