That's the Carol Burnett, "Went With the Wind" look, right?
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

This was the answer! And I guess he'd fall into the category of employing "chance art" but since I HAVE SEEN ZERO POLLACK I couldn't make that decision myself. Luckily my guess was right.
Jesse--I haven't checked my personal mail yet today, so let me go have a look.
Guy I yell at over the cube wall announced that he has an ex who's into Doctor Who and Supernatural. I told him to find out her favourite doctor and her favourite Winchester. I've told him that if the answers are John and/or < 8 to pop the question and don't come back till he's married.

Our downtime this weekend prevented me from mentioning the WTF? wait service I received at Saturday lunch when I drove back through Tallahassee to try the locally-owned seafood restaurant again.
When my waitress approached the table she first asked if I had any questions about the menu. I did, and her answer led directly to me saying that sounded great and ordering the dish I asked about. Whereupon she huffed, introduced herself and said welcome to the restaurant in a snippy tone that made it clear she was put out and expecting an apology for my jumping the gun. Then she brought me the wrong salad dressing, pointedly avoided eye contact for the next 10 minutes or so while passing by repeatedly, and never brought promised napkins or a straw (which I didn't need, but you better believe I noticed by the fourth lapse after making me feel awkward and unwelcome).
Now the food itself came out quickly and was so spectacular it would have made up for anything short of being served via being mashed directly into my face James Cagney-style. But she only got 12% rather than a one penny tip because I didn't want to stiff the miracle workers in the kitchen. And if I'd been staying in Tallahassee rather than passing through with another 370 miles to go that day, the manager and I would have had a grim conversation about customer service.

Matt was it the Wharf Express? They have a history of uneven business practices and service. And a history of rumors of shady business dealings. Like one of the restaurants burnt down (years and years ago) and it was treated as an accident and the insurance cleared it. But the rumor was one of the family members burned it down so they could get the insurance and afford a different location.

Jockey has a new bra out that is supposed to fit like a dream. they send you a kit where you can get your measurements and then the bra comes.
I have ordered a kit. I will report back.

I remember seeing the kit cost $20. Is that still the case? If so, can you apply that to the bra purchase or something?
If there's a kit that prevents me from buying a bra whose straps slip off my shoulders, I might spend some money on it. My one light coloured bra is awful like that. Next time I take in one of the purple ones and see if I can get the same style in beige.
