Scola, you missed your calling. I think you should be a job-placement-finder-person (does that actually have a title?).

[O]ne of the arguments that the anti-gay-marriage side has increasingly turned to outside the courtroom is that allowing same-sex marriage would hurt heterosexual marriage. At the pretrial hearing, Judge Walker kept asking Charles Cooper, the lawyer defending Proposition 8, how exactly it did so. “I’m asking you to tell me,” he said at last, “how it would harm opposite-sex marriages.”

That one sounded kinda fun -- like you could just throw words at a page and call it surreal and be done for the day.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh dear God in heaven - my brain is now broken: Star Wars Burlesque: Tatooine-Styled Shenanigans at the Bordello
Saturday night, downtown club Bordello temporarily transformed itself into Mos Eisley Cantina for a night of Tatooine-styled shenanigans helmed by Devil's Playground. Star Wars Burlesque reimagined a host of beloved characters from the film series -- from the sexy to the androgynous to the grotesque -- as scantily clad female performers, with locals On Blast assuming the role of cantina band. Check out the cast of characters below.
Worksafe, assuming a picture of C-3P0 in pasties is worksafe.

Oh, my god, dude, NO, we are not changing all of the italics in your documents by .5pt. NO.
One of our designers want us to do this sort of thing on our website design. He wants us to change the colors by one or two pantone chips, too. This in spite of being physically shown that the site looks notably different between his big monitor and his laptop screen when they're running exactly the same browser/platform combos. None of other users set ups will be exactly the same either, plus very few of them will have the oh so carefully color calibrated monitors that he has. And then there are the smart phone viewers and the people who adjust font size due to vision issues. The guy needs to accept that what you can absolutely control on the web gets really loose after "serif" and "blue".
