Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Language Log cracks me up.

I would like my money back please or fire service. I don`t think that`s too much to ask for my local government.

Yeah, that seems reasonable!

I just had one of those moments at work where I feel like a genius -- last week, a coworker and I were talking about someone else's work, saying, "I don't know why they don't do X," and today I got a voicemail that they are going to do X! Good one.

Darwin award waiting to happen...

Long Island liquor store owner believed pet alligator was just a large lizard

The 3-foot gator had been living in a storage room for about two months at Alpine Wine & Liquor in Wading River - where workers fed the beast about 45 goldfish a day, officials and the owner said.

Suffolk County SPCA seized the animal Wednesday and ticketed Corcione for possession of an illegal animal.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Skimming through a weekend's worth of Natter (300+ yargh!) to say,

Go, Kathy, go! So proud of you!

ita, holy crap on toast, I wish that I could join in with a posse of other buffistas and come out to LA and unleash some fiery justice on some of these ER docs. I just wish it could be different, with significantly less suck.

Much ~ma to your MiL, Burrell.

Oh, I forgot to say, I saw darth the other day. It was awesome.

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

I saw darth the other day. It was awesome.

The delurking thread is open; he should check in and say Hi.

Heh - PZ didn't waste any time jumping on THAT bandwagon:

I applaud Language Log's bold new policy

Trivial thought of the day: Whole wheat bagel thins are actually pretty good as long as you realize that the word "bagel" on the package is some sort of printing error.

He's doing great! We talked about doing lunch, since he still works on campus, so we're in the same town during the day. (But I'm always eating TJ's quiches at my desk. NEED TO GET OUT MORE.)

He said that he's working on a project where he's collaborating with a bunch of playwrights--something where he's getting them to do a bunch of writing for him. I'm not quite clear on the details, but it sounded pretty cool.

I can't believe how long it's been since we've hung out. I haven't even met his DH.

Tom: when I email him about lunch, I'll mention the delurking thread.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
