Today's random bit of information: upon her death, Dorothy Parker bequeathed her estate, including the profits from her works, to Martin Luther King. Upon his death, they passed to the NAACP.
That's fantastic.
If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

Suppose that makes me think "success" might POSSIBLY be defined differently be different people?
Hahahaha, what a silly idea!
I would think being stuck on a tarmac with no way to get off the plane would constitute an emergency, fwtw. And I'm generally pro-slide.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Did you know that one of the hallmarks of a good computer programmer is laziness? It's true. My boss told me to create a SQL Server function that determines the start and end dates of Daylight Saving Time, given the year. I figured that someone on the internet must have written such a function, and I was right.
Go team laziness. (Too lazy for the exclamation mark.)

As I recall from the Cheaper By the Dozen memoir, that was the first thing the father did when he came to factory as an efficiency expert. He'd ask to see the laziest worker and he'd see how he set up his station so he expended the least amount of energy.

Dang it, headache. That's unfortunate timing. I'm supposed to be playing miniature golf and laser tag today.

At the same time? Because that would be fun.

Oh, that would be fun--laying down covering fire so someone can get their putt in, sneaking up on the 18th hole to pick off unsuspecting duffers . . .

There should also be food and booze. So you putt a few holes, stop and eat your appetizer while your friends cover you...
