I need captions naming the people in the Band Aid 30 video. I only recognize the people who were around for the first one. Also, are they singing "feed the world" or alternating between that and "heal the world"? The latter would make more sense. If you haven't seen the video yet, be warned. The beginning is... grim.
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

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

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

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
There was a thing on Buzzfeed that had screencaps with everybody labeled, plus the lyrics.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh! Here's the most amazing thing I learned over the weekend: The illustrator of Harry the Dirty Dog [link] (among many others) is in the same unit as my father at the nursing home!

Because books.
Harry the Dirty Dog! Those books were huge favorites of mine, and my kids! Aw.
Congratulations on the grant, too, Jesse, although it not getting the rest of the week off isn't as great.

Aw. Be Nice to Spiders, I remember that one.

Congrats on the grant. You should totally be able to take the rest of the week off.
I have officially declined the Thanksgiving potluck for this Friday. I don't understand why people want to do this, I have enough cooking and eating to do for actual Thanksgiving I don't need a feast at work, too.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
"Protect the 40 hour work week" is officially Orwellian double speak, right up there with "right to work" laws that actually protect the right to fire without cause.

"Protect the 40 hour work week"
Fight those Socialist schemes to make you work less! You know who works a shorter week? Europeans! And we know they can't compete against sturdy American workers who know what it is to put their nose to the grindstone!
