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

Is that like a dogpark for kids?

Haha! Yeah, pretty much. $15 gets you 90 minutes of access to their "bounce stadiums" i.e. big rooms full of variously sized & shaped bounce-houses. There's a bounce-climbing wall, bounce-slides, bounce-obstacle courses, etc. Great for wearing 'em out when it's too cold and gray for the playground.

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

1 sink full of dishes washed, 1 load of laundry in, fruit sip warming on the stove, recycling out of the kitchen, and litter boxes cleaned. BREAKTIME

I've done a lot of skimming lately, so apologies if this has been posted, but given the number of lawyers and/or comic book geeks on the board, I give you:

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I now reflexively react to all pictures with palms in them by going "it is not my [insert noun here] it is a palm." Thank you, Tom Hardy memes, for ruining me.

Not just you.

Warning: if you have employees who drink who have access to your server room, confiscate their weapons. Or their booze.

A Salt Lake City mortgage company employee allegedly got drunk, opened fired on his firm’s computer server with a .45-caliber automatic, and then told police someone had stolen his gun and caused the damage.

However, he did get drunk at a concert, then went back to work (driving, I assume. With a gun. Joy. But that's Utah for you).

$100K server. Merry Christmas, y'all.

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

Sometimes a server just needs killin'.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I'm staying here at work until 2:30 and then heading over to my dietician for my one-month appointment (and weigh-in--looking forward to that!), and then heading over to the grocery store to pick up some stuff for dinner tonight and chili making tomorrow.

My boss just called; both she and my other co-worker who is not on vacation this week are working from home, so it's going to be just me to cover any emails from editors. Considering how empty the parking lot is today, I'm guessing I won't really need to worry about being inundated with queries.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, the woman on NPR whose name I can never figure out? Doualy Xaykaothao. Yeah, that's why.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
