I'm brainstorming for this year's office white elephant gift exchange - I usually aim for something slightly geeky but not so much that nobody wants it. This year I'm thinking USB-powered mug warmer and a Starbucks gift card. Thoughts?
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

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

I think my hair is possessed. By a demon of greyness. And standing-upness (the ever-increasing greys are so ORNERY.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I have the same problem, flea. Last week I found grey eyebrow hairs.

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

That's cool. I was gonna suggest USB Pet Rock, but at least the mug warmer does something....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Apparently my new bathroom light doesn't show the greys very well -- I had kind of a shock over Thanksgiving.

Our wings are not tired.
I had to skip (will go back and read later) to ask you all an important hivemind question. Please no lengthy discussions, what I really need is a "first take" response.
If an ad you saw had a polar bear prominently going into an ice cave with "hibernate" on the label, what would you immediate thought be?
(this is work-related, but I can't comment further than that)

It was going into a strip club?
No wait, hibernate!

Uh, it was going to sleep for the winter?

I've been letting my hair color go for years (discovered my first white hair at the age of 16), and the main reason why is that it doesn't look too bad, and the white hairs are identical in texture to the brown hairs. I'm actually looking forward to the point when I finally go completely white, which will probably be in ten years or so, when I'm in my mid-50s.
I remember a co-worker who always dyed her hair blonde. She started working from home and then moved to Door County after I changed departments, so I didn't see her for almost a year. When I saw her, she had completely stopped dyeing her hair and it was all white, and simply gorgeous! That's what I want when I get to 50 years old.

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