Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It's probably valuable information that your office reacts to a fire alarm by seeking out the highest concentration of flammable material in the vicinity.
Once, when there was a bomb threat, we went over to the TGI Friday's that had a view of the building so we could see it when it blew up but still be enjoying fried cheese.
No, seriously.
Well my candidate for Senator got crushed, but that wasn't a surprise. The Dem house rep squeaked by. Republicans won every other single race on my ballot except for the ones where Dems ran unopposed and county collector. No, surprise though, that's the norm.
The puppy mill regulation proposition just squeaked by. Missouri is the top puppy mill state right now. That one was down by 30 points for quite awhile, but if you know how MO works, you know the two big cities always report late and the numbers can make huge swings.
I hear you Steph. I was in a grocery store that caught fire, dropped my stuff on the conveyor belt, and went straight to the pub across the street to camp out on the patio and watch it burn.
She could conceivably win the nomination, if the "Please, God, Anyone But Her" vote is totally fractured, but she's poison for a countrywide election.
This is my thinking too.
A lot of people are out of work and scared. And if the Republicans had had a majority going in to this election
I think there is also the healthcare bill which is unpopular, the deficit which Obama hasn't addressed, TARP, the auto bailouts, and Fox hammering away every day. A whole lot of factors working against them.
She could conceivably win the nomination
I think she could easily win the nomination if the Repubs don't put up any good candidates. I guess today also kicks off the 2012 presidential election.
Man, the BP station has good coffee. Seriously.
My company has official muster points for employees to gather in case of a fire (or fire drill). EVERY SINGLE ONE is either in front of or across the street from a pub.
SIGH. My team at my old job used to hold impromptu staff "meetings" at the nearest heated and/or AC'd public place to our floor's designated meeting point. It was relaxed, pleasant, reasonably informative and used up work time that we'd have otherwise lost.
Ha! This is seriously the e-mail my mom just sent me --
Subject: the zombies have taken over the world
Don't watch your TV unless you already have but the world has gone mad. Everyone I voted for lost and the zombies have taken control.
I get my left-wingery from her, obviously.
(I told her that no, the zombies have NOT taken over, because zombies WANT brains, and last night proved that the winners were NOT looking for brains.)
