I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hee.

I have meetings all afternoon, so should be Getting Stuff Done now, but I don't wanna! I did take care of a couple of personal things (retirement roll-over paperwork, inquire about vacation payout), but sadly, I don't think my boss will count those as accomplishments for the day.

Hey Theo, is this the kind of work you do? [link]

sarameg's copper pipes reminds me that I have a small bucket of wheat pennies from Mom that I should do something with.

Jesse -- no, that's network stuff, but thanks for thinking of me!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

omg, I love wheat pennies. would not want a bucketful though. I should see how many I have, probably not more than a small jar.

My burrito dilemma: Do I want to go to Chipotle, which will have a long line, but will make my burrito quickly once I get to the front of the line; another burrito place, which will have a short line, but will take forever to make the burrito; or a third place which will have a short line and make the burrito quickly, but will take further to walk to?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Are all of the burritos equally tasty?

More or less.

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

What Dana said. I'd skew my choice towards the tastiest burrito.

All other things being equal, I'd go with the longest walk, because I'd rather walk than wait.
