Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

When they did the Moss drag on Eliot, I was in stitches

In retrospect, that's kinda funny too.

But I still can't get past my dislike of the other two characters. I might give them two more shots.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

In my opinion, the funniest episode of the first series is "The Haunting of Bill Crouse." It's got some great sight gags.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I'm working from home today and the maintenance guy just came by.

The good - he is installing a new water heater
The bad - water is shut off for 3-4 hours
The good - at least it is being replaced before it broke down

Both the kids are still asleep. Slugs.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Dammit. Now my pony-lust is back big time.

I would probably accept an alpaca

See? This is me resisting trying to grab 6666.

Kat - we had a great time. Weather was gorgeous, I completely geeked out, and the kids didn't seem to embarrassed. No, correct that, they were headbanging along...woooooooooooooooooooot!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

This is me resisting trying to grab 6666.

Oops.

[whine] I slept about 3 hours last night and came in to a "We must skype now!" message from a coworker in Pretoria. She wanted to change the entire design of the website I'm building for them. The site that's launching next week. Oh, and I can I do that without delaying launch? No. No, I can't. And even if I could, I wouldn't because people should not change the entire site design (colors, fonts, headers, menu location, etc.) a week before launch, so unless the current version causes puppies to spontaneously combust she can suck up and deal with the design she and all her higher-ups approved months ago.

Then I got to sit in a 2 hour benefits meeting where the visiting speaker tried to convince us that our health insurer was our partner in health. So we needed to be sure to send in as few claims as possible for the insurer who will be raising our rates 10% next month to try to weasel out of, cause that weaseling costs time and money and they'll just have to raise rates again next year if we keep expecting them to, you know, cover stuff. I kinda wanted to tie her in a sack with a couple dozen hungry mink. Bet her insurance doesn't cover that, either.

So, on the upside I have a job and bennies, but my diamond shoes are rubbing up some blisters here and there. [/whine]

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

We were talking about Jamie Oliver here a while back - here's a guy whose trying to do the same thing about school lunches, but without being an obstinate douchebag about it:

Always Anti-fascist!

Concrete Jesus seems like one of those things KO would use his mock-Cronkite voice and "report" for Oddball. (I don't know who's the bigger geek, there. Him for doing it, or me for recognizing Uncle Walter impressions despite being very young when Cronkite hung up his press pass.) But I think that is really funny, anyway.
