Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

Our wings are not tired.

Too soon?

Yes.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

tommy, that may be it, but it sure sounded like they were blaming Obama.

Well, Obama's got big Illinois ties, so that may be part of it, accurate or not (that he has anything to do with it).

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

It's Chicago Style Politics! With Obama, we control everything!

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

There was a proposed gun and ammunition tax in IL. They dropped the ammunition tax part. I don't think the gun tax part has been approved yet.

Yeah. I remember a columnist likening the ammo tax to Chris Rock's routine about the key to eliminating innocent bystanders in gang shootings is to make the bullets ridiculously expensive.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I forget the name of the comedian who recommended a mandatory "Eat what you kill" law to reduce driveby shootings.

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

Among other issues, the system was never beta-tested or checked for functionality without going live before Election Day, two sources said. It went live that morning but was never checked for bugs or efficiencies internally

Ah ha ha! That makes me think of this pic that was distributed around our team after an *exciting* development partnership with another company. They told us that if we needed to QA for further integrations, we'd have to pay for their QA environment, because that's not part of their SDLC. Uh--that's not a LC you have going with your SD. In fact, that's not that much evidence of proper D of your S at all.

We are ridiculously behind on our cross-browser compatibility. It's been easier to react since we got sold off, but since the biggest app my team supports is a combination of a lot of other apps--it's hard, even with the best intentions.

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

Nope, he's at the book fair and, without permission, he brought all his money to school and wants to buy a $20 Lego book, and the cashier insisted he call for permission first.

Oh, the kinds of trouble he will get when he has an amazon acct.

Very cute.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

During the hurricane, I think it was, there was a map on Boston.com (a popular website, as you might imagine) that didn't work in IE. OK, I get it -- I should download a different browser, but come ON. That seemed ridiculous to me.

A completely neat thing Occupy Wall Street is doing: buying up delinquent debt then writing it off.

It makes me wish I had a couple of hundred spare dollars to send them.
