Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Okay, reading a recommendation for a tuition waiver that begins "it is my dubious honor to recommend"

If it was a job recommendation, I might suspect it was on purpose.

Andrew Breitbart died.

I'm sorry for his family. Saying anything else would fall into the realm of things you don't say about the dead.

Because books.

It just seemed unexpected. He was only 42, I think.

Ginger,

fyi, but here is what Breitbart said about Ted Kennedy after he died. Not that we need to adopt such language, but...

What font do you have on your resume?

Palatino. On a background color about midway between the two taupes in the image, but slightly warmer.

Tom, as great as it is to have the vindication of former bosses desperate to have you back, I think avoiding the soul-sucking aspect of former job is worth any amount of money. I wouldn't even recommend the 3x salary consultant option others have suggested unless it were for a strictly limited term to enable a more relaxed job search for something you'd enjoy doing.

I'll stick with Jesse's "Huh." because otherwise I will say things unpleasant and stress myself out.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

ita, that's absolutely wonderful. I hope it can stay that way too.

Tom, seriously? How weird. And validating, I presume!

Okra = gross. Sorry, okra lovers. Your taste buds are wrong.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

for me it is about okra's texture. I don't find the taste unpleasant. but the texture is just too much.

Okra = gross boiled, neutral in gumbo, and nummy good when breaded and fried 'til it's black.

fyi, but here is what Breitbart said about Ted Kennedy after he died.

Yeah, I know. That's why I typed several nasty things and then deleted them because I like to think I'm better than that.

After sliced okra has been cooked a while in something like gumbo or soup, the slime people complain of just becomes thickening. I am not objective on this subject, though, because I like okra in all its forms.
