Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I didn't recognize some of those scenester types. What's a Scramz Revivalist?

I'd like one of those new job thingies too.

The Guardian throws down the gauntlet: The best sandwich ever?

What the hell do the British know about sandwiches? Except how to make the very worst ones and sell them at train stations.

Actually some of the responses were decent. Still.

I BARTed Emmett into school this morning. We had to leave at 6:45 to get there before 8am. And I just got back at 9:30.

For somebody who doesn't have a job, I don't have enough idleness either.

I'm also suffering random bouts of phantom limb car pain. I see good parking spots everywhere now.

T-Rex on guess who, again: [link]

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 think T-Rex and Teppy are the same person.

Has anyone ever seen them in the same room together?

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

Steph, I think I've seen my sister try and do that.

Giants Jersey Typo: Someone Can't Spell 'San Francisco' (PHOTOS)

A Giant misspelling resulted in outfielder Eugenio Velez wearing a weird jersey Wednesday. A pair of letters were transposed in "Francisco."

So when Velez made his season debut in the seventh inning during a double switch, his uniform read "San Francicso." No one seemed to notice until well after the Giants' 10-4 win over the Astros.

GUYS YOU ARE ONLY SAYING THAT BECAUSE OF MY AWESOMETASTCINESS.

Steph, I think I've seen my sister try and do that.

"Shut up and start drinking!"

Hexidecimal Scrabble tiles

My new scrabble tile set provides game players with a fully international character set through the miracle of character set encoding standards. By using my entirely hexadecimal tile set you can deploy your scrabble words in full unicode, or simple ascii. I think however, I might need a bigger board. The memory space on this bit of antiquity is a bit on the small side.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Two Quick Queries:

1) What upcoming events on the cultural calendar are you looking forward to?

For myself: Harry Potter LEGO computer game comes out (mostly for Emmett's sake); Venture Brothers returns; new HP movie in the fall; Scott Pilgrim movie coming soon.

Hmmm, apparently there is no music I'm actively anticipating. How pathetic. (Either me or the music scene, I'm not sure which.)

However, there was one record I was eagerly anticipating which did come out and is excellent: Nippon Girls: Japanese Pop, Beat and Bossa Nova 1966-1970. It was put together by Sheila Burgel of Cha Cha Charming.

2) Does anybody else suffer from "Suddenly It's 10:30" Syndrome? Because I can get up and get moving and arrive on time but then I tend to piddle away my early morning. When I did have the regular job I would often snap back and go, "Shit! It's 10:30. There's all this stuff I need to do before lunch."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What upcoming events on the cultural calendar are you looking forward to?

1. The MoCCA Arts Festival this weekend.

2. Kick-Ass on April 16.

Does anybody else suffer from "Suddenly It's 10:30" Syndrome?

Only every day.
