Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
College/University is a weird catch-22-- are we a business trying to keep customers happy or are we trying to teach students how to interact with the world. It is a dilemma.
let the church say amen. And I will add "should we abrogate our own rules to serve the customer"

I'm checking my gmail account and I see I have an email from Owen--who is at school. He created a story at pbskids.com and emailed me a link.
Vortex:
When I get stuff like this, I answer the question, then add a p.s. like "Also, just a reminder that to consider your tone when sending email. Always strive to be respectful, professional and polite, whether sending email to a superior, colleague, or subordinate. Make sure that your requests do not seem like demands. Just using "please" or "thank you" does not necessarily communicate the proper tone. You don't want to accidentally offend someone that you need to help you."
My mind slapped these two together, and I was all "Wow, Owen's pretty precocious, but that feedback's a little specific for a 6 yo..."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm pretty sure that Owen will have Cashmere's power of attorney by age 10 or so.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm pretty sure he will have written it.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm so screwed.

“Not dead yet!”
No, no, no, no, nooooooooo...
Alan Goldscher has sold the film rights to his forthcoming zombie-Beatles novel, Paul is Undead: The British Zombie invasion, due out in June by Gallery Books/Simon & Schuster.
The book, which got a ton of press when it was announced last year after people realized Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was awesome, is an oral history of the undead Fab Four, who are trying to, ahem, "escape eternal death at the hands of England's greatest zombie hunter, Mick Jagger."
Double Feature Films, the company run by the producers of Pulp Fiction and Erin Brockovich, bought the rights.
Mommy, make it STOP.
(Although really, it's Mick who should be the zombie, not the hunter.)
