I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We've had him for 10 years. Thanks for all the good thoughts, everyone.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I'm so sorry, Scrappy.

It's at least 85 degrees in these classrooms. And in one of them, the handles on almost all of the windows are broken, so they won't open.

I'm pretty sure you can throw a chair through a window under those circumstances. I swear it's in the Code of Federal Regulations somewhere.

I can tell decent wine from bad, but above about the $20 mark the differences are lost on me. I can appreciate whiskey at a much higher price point.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Peacock Jillifont. [link] Afuckingdorable. Skip to about 00:45 to get to the cuteness. It just gets cuter and cuter. And then deadly.

It's only slightly bigger than a deer tick, and has the most amazing colouring and courting dance.

Julie,

I want to see a supercut of that video with an Adam Sandler movie.

Heh. My comment when watching was "I hope the female of the species doesn't eat him after mating" and then, to my surprise, it's even worse. She doesn't just say "I've got a headache" if she's not interested. He doesn't just have to deflate and do the walk of shame, he has to run for his life.

Poor little cutie.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

you need to talk to someone about that. I would be close to passing out. I think OSHA actually has a part on their Web site about this.

It's like that in the majority of classrooms here (except in the business school building, which is all new and fancy), and has been for as long as I've worked here. Everyone's complaining about it.
