Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

The good news: An ACLU FOIA request just answered a question that's been on my desk for a few days.
The bad news: The !@#$* printer won't print the document so I can drop it on someone else's desk and be done with it.
eta: I am also distracted by the fact that I am trying to get tickets to the White House Easter Egg Roll.

Your printer won't print you FOIA request? I didn't even know that Halliburton made printers.

Instead, we're doing egg hunts at the gardens here.

It's for stores that give money back to local schools so teachers don't have to buy their students' school supplies out of the teachers' own money.
On the same level: last year, it turned out that the university gave (or probably sold) our (the students) cell phone numbers to a polling institute. I raged about it.

I'm not having much luck getting through. You're likely to have better weather, but this is my niece's last year of eligibility.

Because books.
Egg hunts (on the East Coast anyway) should be a little more pleasant this year, since it's later. One year recently (last? I can't remember) we were in winter coats and freezing our butts off.

I gassed up my car today and I'm pretty sure the tank didn't get completely full. I don't know why the cutting off point while filling up seems to vary so much. I calculated 45mpg from that tank, which is too good to be true. The tank before yielded a crappy 28mpg.
My wife also fueled up her car yesterday. She reported that there were two teenage girls making out furiously in a VW Bug parked at a different pump. She said she was trying to will the pump to go faster so the kids didn't notice and start asking questions.
No girls making out where I got my gas.

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

I think when you fuel a car, sometimes air gets trapped inside the tank, causing gas to back up through the gas tank fuel tube thingie which triggers the "tank is full" sensor in the pump.

Yeah, you really need to do a running average over multiple tanks to get an accurate MPG amount.
