They don't necessarily protest the event, they protest at the event to garner attention. I once went to a Christmas concert they were protesting at.
We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I just chalk that up to one more thing people outside of our department-our team really-don't understand. Much like deadlines.
This graphic we got a powerpoint for today? Has to be created by Monday so it can go to development Tuesday so it will have been in QA to go live the next Tuesday.
I think they really think that those HP commercials are real.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Another random trivia question involving a submarine:
Once upon a time, a submarine did something no other submarine had done. After which, it radioed back to headquarters, giving its location in latitude but not longitude.
What did the submarine accomplish? Bonus question: What was the message?
eta: to fix question.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I liked the I HAVE A SIGN! It's subtly mocking much like Steve Carrell in Anchorman.

Gud gets it.
Actually, I was hoping that someone didn't know that, but could figure it out by the latitude-only thing....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I guessed it. Not the submarine name, just the location.
Ugh. Didn't break the headache. Am online with work anyway. Maybe I'll try another rest period.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I love that that ad seems to boil down to "Busses are neat because you meet people, like my wife, who is dead..."
It shouldn't be funny, and yet here I am, making embarrassing noises at work.
