Someone mentioned someone named Kristen Bell in my staff meeting yesterday, and we were all, "Wait, what??" I still don't know if it's a different person with the same name, or if the original commenter got the name wrong. (It was definitely not the actress.)

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That's what I was going to ask YOU!
Heh. The license plate just looks sort of naked without a frame, though. And I need to change my frame because I am not going around advertising Oak Tree Mazda anymore.
I wanted to get Rice frames, but they're $25 each. Whatevs!
I feel like there must be a geeky license plate frame out there for me. The cow print could do in a pinch, but I think I can do better.
P-C, I shopped for mine...oh, a decade ago...at Hot Topic, and got a nifty "Invader Zim" frame that says "STUPID HUMANS" around the edges.
Hot Topic is not punk rock.

I was once behind an SUV with the rear license plate holder reading "There and Back Again" and the plate said "ARAGORN". Gee, I wonder what books they like to read???
IcompletelyON, here's a really sweet interview with Richard Hammond from the BBC's Top Gear done by a 7-year-old girl who's obviously enjoying herself immensely. And you can tell that he has kids of his own; he relates with her so well.

I phonebanked a guy named "Thomas Chong" yesterday...didn't say anything; I'm sure he'd heard it. But in my head, I said "No way!" Much as I liked that show, there is some thing about Bell's pixie appearance that brings out the same impulse I had to rip the heads off my Barbie dolls.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm so glad my parents didn't name me Fred Krueger. (I think Fred was one of the names they considered.)

I knew an Afghan Hound named Aragorn (in 1978). I also knew two little girls named Lorien and Arwen (also in 1978, but different family). They lived in a geodesic house and slept in hammocks. In rural Maine.

There's a whole community near Tualatin, OR that has Tolkien-related names for streets.
