I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

It's a pity, since many of their t-shirts are really good quality and they are made in America by people paid a living wage, from what I understand.

Made in America & no sweat shops, yes, but I've always found the quality to be pretty shoddy. (Most of our corporate t-shirts are American Apparel and they fall apart the second time you wash them.)

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

overheard "The problem is nobody has a set of fucking balls to make a decision." - management level talking to someone outside our department. his door is open. he was not soft talking.

I am not that much of a prude, but outside of close groups who work together, that just is not ok work talk in my book. This is a pretty conservative workplace and he is just so out-of-line all the time.

Also, their sizing is crazy and, generally, got wayyyyyyy too small.

The deer in the DC area are the stupidest deer in the universe. I know this to be true because they think that East-West Highway is a fun place to play when they're not busy eating my mom's front lawn.

On Monday, one of them jumped into the lion enclosure at the National Zoo.

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

Perhaps inspired by Suicidal Bunnies?

I've had AA t-shirts only for kids, and they've been durable and true to size, both the regular jersey and the baby rib (for girls, and meant to be snugger). I got them as gifts, and can't bring myself to buy more, though.

A Beautiful Camel Bladder Vase

Probably the nicest one you will see all day. This one, from Moultan, Pakistan, was crafted in the mid-19th century and currently resides in the collections of the Museum of Leathercraft in Northampton, U.K.

Of note, the “camel bladder” term refers not to the shape, but to the material from which it was made. Animal bladders have traditionally been used for fashioning drinking flasks, enema bags, and other liquid-containing vessels. A dried, tanned, but unmoulded and unpainted one is depicted here.

I bet the lions thought it was the Best Toy Ever, and for years and years they're going to reminisce about it.

Like when you find a $20 in a coat pocket, or find a candy bar stashed away that you didn't know you had but oh my god you really needed chocolate and it was like magic that it appeared?
