Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Because books.

Fred, I'm so sorry.

Thanks for the dog breed quiz, Tom. I was way off one some of them, but I now want a "schnoodle" just so I can say it a lot.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

My sister got married this month so I'm not going to hate on it too much.

To cheer you all up. Family Circus as captioned by The Onion writers. #6 is priceless, though there is one that may be in poor taste. [link]

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh, I want to wrap everyone up in hugs today. Job~ma to Gud and DJ, sympathies to Jilli and FP, and serenity all around.

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

Yeah, you might want to skip #3 if you're feeling vaguely sensitive.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

The Family Circus: can someone explain #4 to me. I do not get it.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I don't think anyone does. Maybe it's a koan, or going for a New Yorker kind of vibe.

For people not on my fb, my dad just called and said one of his fellow coaches is a certified or something Master Baiter (we were discussing competitive bass fishing, I don't even know.) I DIED!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, damn, Gud, Jilli and Pete, Fred Pete and Hubs. I am so, so sorry. Vibing hard for better and kinder times ahead for all of you and all your beloveds.

Can someone who understand business jargon explain something I found in my company's annual report? It's about a dollar value for goodwill.

Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition costs over the fair value of tangible net assets and identifiable intangible assets of the businesses acquired. Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized. Intangible assets determined to have finite lives are amortized over their useful lives.

This is a definition of goodwill I am not at all familiar with.
