"Good programing is expensive," Rupert Murdoch, whose News Corp. owns Fox, told a shareholder meeting this fall.
How the fuck would he know good programming?
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm sorry to hear that so many of you had such a rotten morning.
My kids are still in pjs. I'm a bit jealous. The big challenge of the day has been keeping the kids occupied enough that DH and I can clean up the house a bit before we head up to HMB for New Years (because yes we are crazy enough to travel this week to visit the family who came down south to visit us last week). We spent the late morning silk screening tee-shirts. It was fun, and surprisingly easy to clean up! Totally recommending it for kid crafts.

What is this "free TV?" I live in a town of 110,000 and can't get TV over the air by any means. I pay $25 a month for a dish tv package I don't especially want because that allows me to pay $5 a month for the "free" channels.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
So, couldn't we just say, FU to the networks then and go to a system like BBC's?

Okay, b.org is currently one of the only sites on the internet that's loading for me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I can't believe I agreed to go out tonight. It is so windy and cold out there! I will have to haul out the Enormous Coat. God forbid I have a puffer, no, I have a big heavy wool coat with a big fur collar.

To the partnered 'fistas: when you're talking about your spouse/SO/whomever to your co-workers, especially co-workers whom you're fairly friendly with, do you refer to said partner by name or as "my wife/husband" or whatever title you may use? I've noticed in my world that people generally say "my wife" (I work mostly with guys) instead of their names. I myself refer to Hubby as Hubby, but I've always thought myself weird in terms of using people's names.
Am I noticing something weird, or am I interpreting something average in a weird way?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My bosses are married to sisters. Once I said "your wife" to one boss (telling him she stopped by and what she said), because sometimes I get the wives mixed up (they look a lot alike to me).
eta: Of course I wasn't talking about my wife, so not exactly what you're talking about.

Seriously, this is freaky. Can't get to google. Can't get to CNN. Only b.org.
Did the revolution come and no one told me?
