Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

No one washes those kinds of shirts at home anymore.

Huh. You're right. Thank goodness, as it allows that portion of the national shame budget to be reallocated to telling women they're destroying their children and/or betraying the feminist movement by taking a selfie!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

There were also commercials in the 90's for Surf where the kids said "Phew, Dad! Your shirt smells!" which cracks me up.

Am now watching Colbert from the other night, and I can't believe how much of an asshole Rick Santorum still is.

I'm behind on both The Daily Show & Colbert. Last night I was wondering why I was watching Joe Scarborough on TDS when I could be watching Lego Batman.

That which does not kill you should RUN

"gray collar workers"

I thought it was a euphemism for people paid off the books (or under the table -- some prepositional phrase, for sure) for their labor, in an attempt to make every category of worker into some sort of "collar." Because isn't "pink collar" a thing, or wasn't someone trying to make it a thing? (Stop trying to make "fetch" happen!)

Pink Collar is totally a thing -- the phrase goes back to the 70s, and it's pretty widely used/understood.

I'm still at work because I'm going to a thing that starts at 7 and there's really no point in going home first. This means I can sit at my desk playing Tiny Death Star for the next half-hour, right?

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

I defy collars.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm the pajama collar category of worker.
