I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I love that mantis picture, it was the Nat'l Geo. Picture of the Day a couple of days ago. So Sci Fi looking.

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

So Sci Fi looking.

There needs to be a SciFi SyFy movie about a half-man, half-mantis.

Man-tis!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, my god, it is only 9AM. Two hours away from lunch, and many hours away from the end of the day.

You must all entertain me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Well, there was M.A.N.T.I.S. Which...wasn't like that at all, but was still awesome. Although I don't appear to have a good memory of it, especially the finale. Oh, Wikipedia.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, my god, it is only 9AM.

What time do you start? I start at 8, and find the 8-9 hour interminable, no matter how busy I am. I just had to plow through editing incomprehensible HTML (putting off the nigh-incomprehensible SQL for now) because the QA site doesn't do what I need screenshots of. I had to make a break for candy.

Guys with candy bowls on their desks can't mind attention, right? I mean, I always stop and smile when I come by for a piece of fake fruity goodness. I figure it's better than grabbing and running, but I can't imagine how much diversion he gets from all the other people too.

juliana, since I started noticing bow-leggedness on TV I've been compiling a list (which is short--Nathan from Heroes, Hotch from CM, Dean from SPN), but that song didn't hesitate with the imagery for me. And it makes more sense to me than Becky's monomaniacal Samgirlness. As a Deangirl, her brushoff made me sniff.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Dana, I present to you the "Single Ladies" dance. In the snow. [link] Crazy peoples in my hometown, I tell you what.

As a Deangirl, her brushoff made me sniff.

It made no sense, honestly. At the very least, she should know that her life expectancy is much higher if she sleeps with Dean instead of Sam!

The Superman video sounded horrifying, but when I actually watched it I have to change my vote to awesome. Mitigating factors for me are that it's the reception rather than the wedding, and the crowd was laughing and cheering. And playing the soundtrack may have put it over the top.

It's not at the same level, but I also liked this story from Topless Robot a little while back [edited for coherence]:

I paid a guy $500 to dress up like Batman (Keaton-style) and hang out at the cocktail hr of my reception. His only instructions: drink and mingle. If he was asked why he was there, he had to reply "I know him; we're friends." Having Batman casually enter a conversation with a beer in hand bringing up "that time with Catwoman" was epic.

I still get stories from guests about him grabbing people's asses.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Love the mantis photo.

!!! If this is not a vid, it should be. NOW.

Seconded!

Re: the Superman thing, it reminds of a funny story I heard last night on Moth Radio: Malcolm Gladwell and some friends sang an extremely misguided song at the wedding of a college classmate.

This morning I was here at 6:55. Sigh.
