Happy birthday, Jess! That is a fantastic present. Quick, someone go suggest it to Pete for me.
Congrats to sj and TCG!
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

Why do the comments have nothing to do with the article?
I think all comments threads for CNN articles eventually end up as a fight between Obama bashers and Obama supporters regardless of the contents of the story.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Mork & Mindy, Baywatch, Golden Girls--this isn't exactly a sociological exercise. It's a grab at laughs.
Well, M&M might be your only option unless you go with South Park. In my recent experience, Golden Girls is FAIRLY TYPICAL OF LIFE HERE OHMYGAWD I AM GOIN HOME SOOOOONNNHNNNN!!!

I bought furniture and then my parents bought me more!
I got 2 chairs and a nightstand yesterday from an Antique place. The chairs are not antique they are 2007 or 08 from World Market, armless, dark olive green seat and back with dark wood legs and frame around the back. The night stand is a one drawer mahogany deal from the 40s or 50s. Then the parents got me for Christmas and Birthday for like the next 3 years, 2 wing back recliners.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Nice!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

They missed the best one. "Broccoli" autocorrected to "neocolonialism" on a pizza order.

But this is the arts/entertainment section of the Sun Times. It doesn't look like it started on topic and drifted.

Jesse, I don't think so. You better find a fainting couch.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Out of nowhere, but since when does geekiness need a smooth segue? My friend on facebook points out that:
Did you know the longest extended Pi Day of our lives will be coming up in year 2015 on 3/14/15 at 9:26:53.589...
Ooh!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So how come a co-worker can say "Mochachino-stick-it-up-your-ass latte" to me, and I can't work out the right audience for SWAG? When did I get this tone deaf? Dammit.
Boss just asked me if I was going to be here until 4. Paranoia alert! I've left before him once in weeks, and that was yesterday. I'm going to have to convince myself it was just the pervasive niceness around here.
