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

This is the email my dad just sent to the family about Thanksgiving:

2. We're going to be auctioning off oven slots for Thursday in 12 minute blocks (0.20 hrs), so be sure to get your bids in early.

With a Google spreadsheet attached.

Never let it be said that my family does not embrace our extreme nerditude.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

More families should plan their Thanksgiving oven schedule ahead so well.

I read the "About" on his blog, and he apparently is trying to eliminate sleep from his schedule. Good luck with that.

Oooh, the path to sanity!

Ann, that's a ferret.

Current argument: Men cannot be friends with women they are attracted to

And there go half of the pop/rock songs of the '60s. Including most of Roy Orbison's and Gene Pitney's catalogs.

Pfft. Whatever, it's not like they were real musicians anyway.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I guess my worry is, how many dudes feel like this?

Also, take douchey musician guy: He's a scientist. What if he's in a position to decide who gets defined as scientist on panels/boards/whatever?

He doesn't even see how he's created a set of rules designed to shut women out of something that do not apply to men.

His argument was: Why aren't there any women rock musicians? And in order to "prove" his argument he created his own special definition of women, and said, "there, there aren't any."

What if he's in charge of shit?

Current argument: Men cannot be friends with women they are attracted to

Wasn't that the premise of When Harry Met Sally? Or at least the issue they open the movie arguing about?

ION, I just completed wasted over two hours in order to attend a mandatory 20-minute meeting with some muckity-muck in which we learned nothing. And then sat around for 45 minutes waiting for the bus back to the office. Man, what a frelling waste of my time. And your tax dollars. Bah.

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

And there go half of the pop/rock songs of the '60s. Including most of Roy Orbison's and Gene Pitney's catalogs.

Roy Orbison sang a lot about being friends with women he was attracted to? Sincere question. I know about two songs of his.
