My boss knows me a bit too well. He forwarded me an email asking if I was aware of this fuckup by YYYY that's going to cause me a lot more work (which no one even whispered anything until now). I responded with "I am now" which on the surface is perfectly neutral, but in my head is dripping with sarcasm and rebuke and irritation.

He shoots back "HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM THE YYYY TEAM!!!!"

Why is Obama giving the speech on Tuesday? I know that other parts of the country start school earlier, but in the NYC area, most schools are starting Wednesday.

The kids in NYC don't need to be indoctrinated into the new socialist world order, it's NYC.

Wasn't he the Last Samurai?

Yeah, that was cool. Especially the part when he opens a brothel in his parents' house when they're gone.

And then shoots down the MiGs.

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

For some reason I had to look up what kind of planes they fought in Top Gun. It says MIG-28s. There are no MIG-28s. There are MIG-27s (though that's more of a ground attack plane) and MIG-29s which would have been cool but I'm not sure they were in service yet when Top Gun came out, it would be awfully close. Oh well, they probably used F-5s with a commie paint job and called them MIG-28s, I guess that makes as much sense as any alternative.

I haven't even seen Top Gun, but I think they used some European military jet trainer. Weren't they really small?

I think for some reason the Russians give their fighters only odd-numbers.

eta: But Gud is right in that the F-5 seems to be the most widely used stand-in for Russian fighters.

You know, I'm so simultaneously BTVS-oriented and also full of bitter loathing for Magnolia that for a long moment, reading your post, I thought, "Wait -- it's 'respect the cruller,' isn't it?"
