Last time I flew to B'ham, we had to return to the gate to deplane an older fellow who started threatening the flight attendants (all male, the one he initially threatened looked like Ryan Gosling) when told to turn of his phone. It was an appropriate response, the dude went from non-compliant to ballistic in about 15 seconds. "I'll have your job, BOY!" No, you had a nice meeting with airport police.

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

And...I agreed to give another co-worker a lift home. Who am I?

Maybe you're turning into sarameg? If you start hanging out with your neighbors, we'll know.

Easter ham has transformed into lentil soup. Nom. I may have overproduced however, but I can freeze some if it comes to that.

Franny is watching Return of the King for the upteen-millionth time. It's still so damn moving.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

What kind of DSL problem would let me get to gmail, Facebook, and twitter but not here, aol, or HuffPo? The diagnostic page keeps suggesting that I have a device without a DSL filter which is not true.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

If I left a block of cheese in a container on the counter in my pretty cool kitchen (63 or so) for several hours last night, but put it in the fridge this morning, it's still going to be okay to eat, right?

It will be fine, Lee.

I'd think so as long as it was OK to eat in the first place. If it's Casu Marzu, you're out of luck.

Happy Birthday Tom!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hard cheese? Absolutely fine.

BTW, my experiment in letting my cut-before-actually-ripe avocado continue to ripen had mixed results (the internet suggested sticking the halves back together, wrapping it in a couple layers of plastic, and setting it in the fridge, which I did for a while but it didn't seem like it was doing anything so I moved it out to the counter). It did eventually ripen, I think, but it also grew mold. So, not practical, at least not under circumstances I'm likely to practice. Will be more careful before deciding to cut in the future
