Well, it's snowing at my house, but I'd like a lot more... Not quite in yet, but we might get something out of this cold snap...

Ruby, my office cat, thinks she's pretty big

Cats are an impediment to productivity.

You're right. I shouldn't post before that second cup of coffee.

I think you should start all your posts this way, a running gag like back when SNL's weekend update had Chevy Chase and Jane Curtin as anchors. Jane would talk, and then when it was Chevy's turn, he'd always start with, "Jane, you ignorant slut..."

Matt: You can host photos here, click on the Gallery link in the row of links and follow those directions. To post photos in your tr, look at the row of icons above the pane where you type in text. The camera icon will link to any gallery photos you've posted, or you can click on the 4th icon in from the left, a page with a corner turned down and a couple blue dots. This will open a dialog box where you can enter the url of the photo you want to post. The only caveat is that the address needs to end in .jpg or .gif, the two image file types accepted here. PM me if you need more info Off

Just putting this important thread back on the front page where it belongs...

If you ask me (and I'm primarily a rural driver), bike commuters ought to be paid, not taxed. Sure, some bike riders are arrogant assholes, unlike drivers eh? If only we had an attitude tax, folks on this board would really have something to complain about.

Meh, team Palin is so September. Who cares?

Oh Noes! Bettie Page has suffered a heart attack and is in the hospital in critical condition. The indie rock world would be an uglier place without her iconic look. news story

Oh, and for modern bands most overrated, I think few could top Coldplay.

AC/DC have made a career out of doing a simple thing over and over. I saw Hells Belles, the all female AC/DC cover band, a few years ago and thought it was probably more enjoyable than the real thing would be. I mean, c'mon, you know the songs, there's never any doubt where the music is going, but Angus Young just wouldn't be all that cute stripped down to bra and panties.

I think you guys should meet halfway, you know, in Tenino!

Not having read this entire thread, I feel comfortable in stating that if I took the entire thing and submitted it to incalculable pressure, it would still be turd rather than a diamond. Any dissenters?

You don't think there's any way I can get that quarter from underneath of your pointy boot, do ya? All I want is just one more oatmeal pie.

Dane, I think our knees are a similar vintage, that sounds shockingly appealing.

This flashy little number on ebay caught my eye. link What with the credit crunch, I don't know that I could borrow the requisite 4.9 million Australian dollars though. Anyone one wanna go in on it?

This is Kevbone on 5.13

Huh, my daughter had her purse stolen out of the car outside a gym in Olympia. Being only 17, there was no credit card involved, and only a tiny bit of cash, but they did get her savings account passbook. She just found out they've been using her account to cash fraudulent checks, somehow having gained access to her new account. Oh, it has about $120 more in it now than than the $1500 that was originally in the account, but they've run several thousand dollars of fraudulent paper thought it. I wondered if they had someone who could pass for my daughter (since they had her license as well) but maybe it's one of these ID sort of scams. Pretty wierd. Oh, they also got my five year old digital camera with a broken battery compartment hatch. They'll probably get a stack of money on ebay for that.

Reading this thread, it becomes apparent to me that I haven't been around here enough recently to have a clue what all this is about, and yet I've been around here too long to care.

Yeah, but despite the effort, McCain still lost.

So, the deal is this wannabe millionaire slacker wants to be laid off so he can collect unemployment while he starts his own business? If he believes in his project, he should just quit, not wait for some company paid time off to float his trial balloon. No mistake, the company will pay too, unemployment benefits don't just fall from the sky. If he's so under capitalized he can't stay alive without unemployment benefits from his last job, can't say I'd be confident about the future of his "venture."

Umm...how exactly is it an "aid piece" if you aren't aiding on it? Sound like what most people call "pro". Will, I think Kevin is referring to the use of crack 'n ups as free protection. Lance, you're a pretty funny guy. Too bad you're not my friend, or I might actually like you.

You parse poorly. Correctly translated, that looks like Beer Friday night, climbing at the coulee Saturday. I think steak is on the menu Friday night as well.
