No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Natter .44 Magnum: Do You Feel Chatty, Punk?  

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

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Unfortunately, they specifically list GoogleChat and web-based applications. I'll have to see how this plays out in practice, but I figured I'd get a head start on freaking out.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Cephalopod madness!

What is even happening?

Huh. When I posted about the mistaken identity stuff in Bitches last night, there wasn't a single response. I guess I should keep story links that freak me out for Natter. Or maybe actually say something more about the story than just Scary Story!

I didn't see it last night, Nicole. I was in the middle of going insane.

How lame am I that I am driving to my lunch appointment (and spending $7 to park, plus gas) when I could take the train for $4 just becuase it's too hot to walk to the train?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Wait--I thought TDS was repeats this week. It's new? AND I MISSED MY BELOVED JOHN HODGMAN? Oh the humanity.

New High Hat submissions requested! More buffistas this time, ok? Brilliance is a good thing to share with others.

I wonder if they put it up on their website. It was so freakin' good.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it was a re-run - it was just a re-run with Hodgman. I remember him being on not long ago (I know they re-ran the Dennis Leary one on Monday or Tuesday).

I really need a vacation from stupidity. This is getting ridiculous.
