Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I worked college radio when WKRP was on. My radio buddies and I adored the show. Though we always commented that the show didn't show the same degree of inter-departmental dating that went on. That may have just been us, however, college students running wild.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Bwah - ok, I shouldn't laugh, but CBS' photo for this plague story cracks me up:

It should really have fangs dripping ichor and red eyes. Maybe a tiny little "Team Edward" shirt.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That marmot is hysterical. They possibly should have picked a less cute/human sitting marmot picture.

Right??

Also, I am earwormed with the theme from WKRP. Thanks, people.

I like that it appears to have the same "bring it, humans!" attitude as the gopher in Caddyshack.

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

The air conditioning situation at school was slightly more bearable today, but only slightly. First classroom, for some reason, had both the air conditioner and the heater on. It was hotter than I'd like, but I could deal with it. Second room, air conditioner putting out vaguely sort of cool-ish air, and most of the windows open. Again, hotter than I'd like, but OK. Last classroom, unbearably hot. Like, the sort of hot where you walk in (from the air conditioned hallway) and feel like you're walking into a sauna. There are a few windows, and those were open, but it didn't help much. I ended class early because I was feeling really sick and the students were barely able to keep their heads up, much less learn anything. (Also, the chalkboard in that room is full of scratches, so they probably couldn't even read much of what I was writing.) I called the Classroom Hotline about that room, and they said they'd look into it.

My ex's wife had their baby as well. His post on FB said some shit like "I went to bed last night a brother, son, etc., and woke up this morning a father." Did he sleep through the birth??????
