ION, wtf? Also, didn't anybody think this might not be a good idea?

I hate to sound uber paranoid, but it sounds like brainwashing techniques doesn't it?

Yeah, it's the sort of things cults do. I think it gets people to fear everything outside the cult.

In other interesting derby news, I got my first insubordination penalty yesterday at a scrimmage. It was my own fault. I drew four minor penalties (four minors = a major = 1 minute in the box). But instead of waiting for the refs to notice and call me out, I went directly to the penalty box and served a minute. Then two jams later, the refs caught up with the penalty trackers and called me out to serve a major. I argued that I already served it. Arguing with the refs = insubordination = 2 minutes in the penalty box.

oh, and Happy Birthday, Allyson!

Birthday Happies, Allyson!

Which is kinda what they explicitly said was the point of the exercise. ::shudder::

Oh and happy birthday Allyson! You are a rock star!

he'd kind of have to be smarter than he looks.

I know I go on and on about Channing Tatum looking dumb, but that's really lazy shortcut for everything about him, not actually his looks. Which I just don't like, is all. What looks stupid about Ashton? I mean, he's really pretty, but that's nothing relevant.

But hardly anyone uses that irregular verb, right?

Well, if you don't count the Commonwealth, no.

office moves at work = DRAMA. my particular department is entrenched in this crazy culture of everyone have giant wooden desks and their own offices. Most of the other departments have many many people in cubes. So now there is a shortage of space and offices are getting converted to accomadate 2 people because we have new hires and wah wah wah. My predecessor just told me that the type of work they do just CANNOT be done sharing offices. People are on calls and working together and and and. Of course I explained that all work could be done in shared spaces, except maybe HR and I did both fundraising, IT, and (obviously) support work that had me on the phone and making appts and talking with people all the time in a shared space where people just had to learn to shut their pie holes and adjust. She thinks it is OUTRAGEOUS! bless.

In Kutcher's case I think Stupid is as Stupid does, not as Stupid looks. I spent years hoping Punk'd would end with a prank on Charlton Heston or Robert Blake.

Here's hoping "We didn't mean it" doesn't prove to be a viable defense against kidnapping charges.
