I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Fortunately my one coworker did not take that to heart and let me in. Whew!

Probably because you were wearing clothes.

(You *are* wearing clothes, right???)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Gud, you work at Lowe's??

Wait, random naked guy??? I feel like there's a low risk of shirttailing there...

I am! Big fat checkmark for adulting on that one.

Maybe more if he decided he needed a shirt after all and wanted yours? (In reality he was just wandering around by the picnic table getting rained on, poor guy. I don't think there was a lot of rational decision making going on)

ION, I don't give a damn about Steve Harvey screwing up the Miss Universe crowning, my only reaction was "Tom and Lorenzo will have their review of the costumes up! Woot!"

Neat, Gud! So is that a pretty good system?

In I-am-12 news, some poor soul has the email address of twatkins@whatever.com I'm glad I don't actually service that account because I would ALWAYS be calling them by that name in my head.

I haven't tried other systems so it's hard to say how it compares, but we're working on making it better all the time. It is very fast though which is hard to do with all those in-home devices all reporting data and commands going back and forth all the time.

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

Twatkins would be a good name for a cat. "Who's a widdle Twatkins? Who's a widdle Twatkins? You are! Yes you are!"

I'm kind of enjoying the memes that are cropping up.
