There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

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".

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Hive mind question: I have a .cda file I need to convert to .mp3 and the software I have (Switch) keeps giving me an error message. Anyone know of another freeware program that can convert it?

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

You can tell how ready I am to leave this job by the fact that I now click on Tom's links.
