Yeah, I think George Will has jumped on the Crazy Train.
Well, I can't see him on the Peace Train and refuse to imagine him on the Love Train, so I can see that.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
George Will on the Soul Train would be AWESOME.

Ooh, it does on the iPad. Nifty.
Does shaking an iPad remind you of shaking an Etch-A-Sketch? Because that's what it seems like to me.
ION, 3 people in my department of 5 are out today (2 of them all week), and I have to do the jobs of 2 of them plus me. I will be as crazy as Charlie Sheen by the end of the week.
(I laughed in incompetent!boss's face -- not on purpose -- when he asked me seriously if we would be able to meet a deadline for a schedule that he created on the assumption that everyone would be here all week. Uh, yeah, dude. I can do 3 people's jobs, but I still only have 8 hours a day to do them in. Maybe you should try helping. Oh, wait. You can't. Because you don't know how to do SHIT around here.)
This is when I remember I want to keep booze in my desk.

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

When I was a kid, I always thought it was cool in those '60s TV shows where the guy has a bar in his office.
Not actually having a bar in my (not) office is more disappointing than not having a jet-pack or flying car....

Stay strong Sistah Steph. You can do it...or at least survive it.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
George Will on the Soul Train would be AWESOME.
No.
Did I ever tell y'all about the night my husband got high and told me, among other things, to "Get up and shake it to Soul Train"?

Tim hadn't really heard about the utter bizarreness of the stuff Charlie Sheen has been saying, so I went looking for quotes last night. When I told him the "tiger blood" one, Tim said, "Martin Sheen IS A TIGER?!?"

It really really does, yes.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
heh ... someone posted an article about Charlie Sheen in the office kitchen - basically little bits and pieces. One - the last if you read it top to bottom, left to right - is a quote from John Stamos, the gist of which was that no, he wasn't replacing Charlie Sheen on the show, but that Martin Sheen had called and asked him to be his son.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister had been ignoring Charlie Sheen, so I gave her a brief primer. I love Skype, because I got to see the look on her face.
I did read that CBS will be paying the crew, which is good.
My father used to have a bar in his office. There are perks to the diplomatic corps, even third tier.
