@luciasaurus: And natch! For naturally. I read it in books written in the 70's and thought it was dumb but now it's making a comeback and makes me want to kill!

It's Log, Log...

This doesn't bother me because it comes from the mouth of a master, but has anyone else noticed that when Jon Stewart says "settle down," he means "shut up"? And he says it a lot.

@RisaPlata: Clearly I can't stop thinking about this.

@RisaPlata: Energy: Rainbow Brite

@Lizawithazee: Genius! This may be my new motto.

@whats_in_a_name: Hasn't she pissed off all those countries by, like, stealing the Eiffel Tower and stuff?

Oh, this is the game? (I hope, since I can't watch videos at work)

@Lox-Dei: My first and only warning was two weeks in, when she sat me down and went through the list. It was all little things, and I don't make the same mistakes twice and none of them mattered, but I did pay attention. Two weeks after that she sat me down and said I was fired. There was nothing in between those…

I had a very kind boss. Turned out she was keeping track of every tiny mistake I made in the brand-new job. She fired me very kindly. That was in July. I'm temping because I still can't find full-time work. Also, I have issues now. Every time someone says "can I talk to you" or there's an awkward silence, my blood…

@Elaken: My concern is that you get what you are paid for. So, although you think your experience should be worth a million dollars in compensation, what would someone who is actually willing to pay a million dollars be like? Creeeeeppppyyyy.....

@NefariousNewt, Democratic Poll Challenger: Right, except what it's really about is feeling superior. Like in the Mad Men thread a while ago when the discussion was Peggy's sister outing her "transgression" to the minister and someone said "wasn't it Peggy's sister that wanted her to go to church and be saved?" And…

@nescafe: It says "we're sorry, this video is no longer available." What did it say?

@Camdenqueen: One of the first Yes on 8 ads actually said a no vote would make gay marriage "mandatory." Yes, we must all gay marry! If you are already straight married, you must divorce or get a sex change so you can be gay married! All pregnancies will be investigated for possible criminal activity! It's the law…

@LadySoprano: I think I've just reached the point where I can't be scared anymore, because it's been too many years of scared all the time, so now I've settled into depression. I'll be scared again watching results come in on Tuesday.

The part that's getting to me is the ads for Prop 8 are all about schools. It goes something like this:

@NotIt: Bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes

@Crabby Cakes: HUGS!!!!

@PhillyLass: That's because true Bostonians don't have cars (although they will walk over you). The people driving are lost and don't realize you can walk right out in front of them even though you're the 12th person this block to do so.

I was the one in my class who figured out the advertising budget-to-profit ratio in Lemonade Stand, and that even if it said there was a 1% chance of rain, it was going to rain. I guess they never wanted us taking chances. I won in my class and my teacher gave me Smarties.
