"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I'm sorry the saner marketing director was not a sign of better things to come, java. I know you've put a lot of yourself into the company.

It only recently occurred to me that now that I have a Nook and so many books have been digitized, I don't have to keep clinging to so much of the Western canon. I don't have to be personally responsible for the survival of literature after the end of the world as we know it, at least as long as the power holds out.

Because books.

A publishing company looking for someone to write for "BB publications" means business to business, yes? I'm used to seeing the 2 in there.

Well, yeah, but.. .what are the chances the power is going to hold out? You may still have to be personally responsible. Just sayin'. (Not helpful.)

I have that worry, that everything I've got is depending on electricity.

I figure if the zombie apocalypse comes, I'm going to find a defensible library and load up with ammunition to shoot both the zombies and the hordes that think books will make great fuel.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

A local columnist, after seeing a film clip of a panda gnawing on bones, has said (jokingly, I assume) that he's working on the script for a movie to be called "Zombie Pandas of the Apocalypse".

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

However, the one thing that counteracts that is to give her a bezoar. No wait, that's what we should give to smonster.

Why do I get a bezoar?

javachik, I'm sorry to hear that things are so crap at your company.

Consuela, I just don't even know.

Pretty much slept all day, except for answering work calls and texts. Am eating a bit of cheese, and then I have to start cleaning for friend arrival in less than two hours.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Why do I get a bezoar?

It counteracts poison (in Harry Potter), so I presume it'd clean up your gutty wuts too.

Oh. I went to a "Bad Eggs" place.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Oh. I went to a "Bad Eggs" place.

I always wondered why that creepy monster was called a bezoar. It's nothing like a bezoar.

Although I assume the polgara demon is nothing like Polgara.

Thank you, it's good to know I wasn't the only one wondering this.
