They've been doing that for years because people have been idiots for awhile.

oh, you hit on the MRSA link, huh?
No, actually. AND I'M NOT GOING TO LOOK. I was getting traumatized by pictures of arachnids/insects and bites and now I have phantom itches everywhere.

So I'm reading a quarterly review for one of my account teams and one of the items is employees nominated for various awards. There's one for a guy for outstanding Electrical Support and identification and remediation of electrical hazards.
And his name is: Sparkey W.
Hysterical.

Not his given name, surely!
It is fully fall up in here: Apple pie cake and carrot soup are cooking. I do realize I should have split apples with my parents -- the cake barely made a dent in the bag!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did you guys (read: Hec) see Felicia Day's new haircut? She looks fab.

OMG, Fall Out Boy was on Ellen last week, and I may have never seen anything cuter than Patrick Stump singing with kid backup singers. [link]

No, no you haven't seen anything cuter. Okay, I think Patrick Stump is kind of adorable anyway, but that performance just slew me.

Sad thing from the TJ's parking lot: An NM license plate, and it says "New Mexico USA." Because people are idiots.
Been that way most of my life. I vaguely remember when they went to a bigger font for the USA part. As if it weren't clear enough. In NM Magazine, there's a long running column titled "One of Our Fifty is Missing" composed of stories people share about having to educate others on NM's statehood. Late 70s, my grandparents in Illinois had many an arguments over whether international postage was required when mailing presents to us. I remember friends of cousins in MN asking what I thought of the US. And being surprised I spoke english so well.
So yeah, we're used to it.

I can't believe I never noticed that before. Possibly I've never seen a NM plate? Either that or I just forgot.
