Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Wow flea, I cannot imagine. Kind of amazing and heroic, her attitude

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

That's terrible, flea.

Oh man, flea, that's so sad.

I feel like I've been hearing about too many young people with brain tumours lately. (Or youngish)

I'm sorry, flea.

Flea, I'm sorry. I hope she finds something like the NPR piece today.

So, from the beginning of the work bullshit problems over the past 6 weeks we've been telling the database folk: it's the db. Consistently the steps that are epically slow. They kept saying, no no no, see, normal response. when they get received. FINALLY got them to put in monitors for a real live event that indicates a likely intermittent hardware failure that's blocking connections, on the db side.Testing the theory first thing in the am. But FUCK THEM for refusing to look closer until now. The rest of us were willing to own up to maybe it was our part, but them? No, of course not.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

How have none of these things become hot hipster trends and swept the nation?

Give it six months - an upstate-NY-themed cafe just opened down the street from me called Buffalo's Famous. They have hot wings and garbage plates and probably some of the other things on your list.

Flea, what awful news.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Well, if I'm going to get blood all over myself, it's good that I'm wearing red.

You don't need an emergency room, right, Gud? RIGHT?!

Our wings are not tired.

Not good, Gud. What happened?

Oh, flea. What a tough situation. Who knows how well any of us would hold up under that level of stress.

Really and most sincerely must go to bed. I am just so over stimulated with all the politics today. And yet I still will wake in about 6 hours no matter how long I stay up. But I want to watch Obama, and Warren, and Biden! This election, we got this.
