I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I have officially dubbed today "Crank It Out Friday". That is in addition to the regular standing "Attitude Friday" that my boss is oh so fond of. The person I work with on about half my job will be out for a week starting next Thursday. Wednesday is a holiday (bless). And I think I have to be sick on Tuesday as mac has a halfday and none of his childcare options are covering it. So today, right after thispost, I will begin Cranking It Out. Please shoo me away if I show up too often.

ION - I am a little confused how so many news outlets were wrongfully reporting that the Ft. Hood shooter was dead. And it seems that news stories today have actually LESS info on the events than they did yesterday, everyuthing has shifted to info on the shooter, rather than the event.

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

Does the bird's briefing include anything about the force being strong?

I believe the bird was instructed to trust his feelings, yes.

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

Now I'm picturing the bird accompanied by a parrot saying, "Stay on target. Stay on target."

I believe the bird was instructed to trust his feelings, yes.

Was the bird being chased by another bird? And was the pursuing bird deflected by a falcon?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Watching last night's Daily Show. Jon Stewart is about to make me split something with his Glen Beck impersonation.

"Or the communists who want to socialize your nazism!"

Is this guy getting a lot of screentime?

He was, but I suspect that he may get less in the future. He was one of the main characters’ love interest, but now there’s a rift. They used to work together, so he still had screen time, but she got fired, so, now I don’t know. But, they are doing a side thing where he has a crush on her friend, so who knows.

I am a little confused how so many news outlets were wrongfully reporting that the Ft. Hood shooter was dead.

The Colonel in charge said so, it’s not a case of them getting it wrong, it’s that they were given incorrect information.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

For those of you who missed it, here's a link to the bit from last night's Daily Show: [link]

Definitely worth watching.

I literally spit liquid onto my computer screen. And then he just. kept. going.
