What happens when they get caught with them at school? Do they get confiscated there and returned at the end of the day?

I don't think he would take it out in school, but afterschool. And I do not trust them to take it away, MORE though, I fear what he might do if they try to take it away. Friday he got physical with the teacher and they called the security guard. I don't know the extent of it and have to talk to them today.

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

Hey, ita, did you know they made a Banlieue 13 sequel?

I know! Someone from WX said they might be able to send me a copy, since Netflix doesn't have it.

Mac! Behave!

It just came out here in SF this week, so I might check LA listings. It's called District 13: Ultimatum.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Coming out of halftime, trailing 10-6, Payton decided to dial up an onside kick. The Saints had worked on it in practice over the past two weeks, but kicker Thomas Morstead was stunned when he was told they were putting it into action right before he took the field.

"I wasn't worried, " Morstead said. "I was terrified."

Yikes.

Tea Party Convention organizer: Tancredo gave 'fantastic speech'

The organizer of the Tea Party Convention says he agrees with Tom Tancredo's description of President Obama as a socialist.

The former congressman from Colorado and 2008 Republican presidential candidate blasted Obama, saying "people who could not even spell the word 'vote', or say it in English, put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House. His name is Barack Hussein Obama."

I believe Tancredo also advocated for a civics-literacy test for people to be allowed to vote.

This may not be the speech or the guy you want giving the speech when you have an movement that some people think has racial undertones. When advocating for a return to Jim Crow laws, it gets a little difficult to complain that people are reading racism into it. Sort of like complaining about reading racism into Dread Scott ruling.

Augh. I think a well-meaning coworker might have done something that I will have to spend a while fixing. Nothing major, but worthy of a sigh.

We sit next to a support desk now. Not only does at least one of them project a great deal, they are very difficult to not listen to. One guy is having a great deal of difficulty having the user type in the word "exchange." It's epic. I think he's on to the second person on that machine now, and he's explaining the backspace key. And that it's okay if you backspace too far, because you can just type it in again.

I can't wrap my head around the patience required. Now he's spelling "office."

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

Finally watched the Superbowl ad my department worked on...SO NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE.

(It's the "Seasons change, football is always here" one for NFL Films. It has exactly nothing to do with their original pitch, which has me wondering why exactly we did all those hours of expensive research for them?)
