I just put that on my FB.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

I just paid off my Capital One card, and I went to the customization part of the website to change the image to flames on the side of a hot rod. Kind of a combination of midlife crisis and "I almost qualify for senior discounts, time to kick things up a notch."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Love that. I did my annual email prank at work. We handle unreleased movies and TV shows, so we have to have all kinds of security measures in place--employees cannot bring phones on the production floor, etc. Today, I told the staff that clients now require that we take DNA samples from everyone so we can trace any assets which go missing. I ends the email with "Open up and say Ah."
My signature referenced April fools, so no one would be fooled for long. People seem to be digging it so far.

Tumblr's prank, while harmless, is annoying because there's no way to turn it off except with adblock. I do not want the animated photocopier cousin of Clippy bouncing around my dash. KILL IT.

Nora, I love that prank.

I'm not clicking the link right now, but I love the idea behind that one.
So, when we were in Iceland I kept seeing the word "skart" on merchandise and signs, that's my username in our Citrix system (first four letters of my last name plus first initial, so slightly more personal than that may sound) so I was really curious what it means but the one salesperson I asked didn't speak Icelandic. Google says it means "jewelry". Nifty.

I think that skart is broader than jewelry, at least in Norse. More like "Sunday Best" or what you bring out when you have company. In Viking culture, things that display your wealth and good taste.

Nice. I'm very fancy.
