Thanks for that laugh.

And apparently I lack leisure skills and I watch too much television and I have no life outside of work.

You know those little multi-colored things that get put on top of ice-cream? They can also be had in chocolate variety?

These:


What are they called?

In NJ they are jimmies (yes, we say chocolate jimmies). In MA they are sprinkles. They will always be jimmies to me.

That reminds me of all the Billy Joel songs we played on the jukebox that night at the bar before I passed out in Friendly's. Did you ever go out dancing like you planned? It was kind of not cool to leave me there, by the way.

If Courtney Love's current fashion phase as a skank-ass Molly Ringwald really isn't merely sloppiness, but rather a carefully calculated litigation strategy {Spree: WaPo}, am I required as a lawyer to respect its deviousness?

You ended up going home with all the FB Friendly's workers. I imagine that was a better time than dancing.

Dude, what happened to you? I came back from the Ladies Room and you were gone! I thought you blew me off.

Since Tampa Bay scored first, I would just like to warn you all that, according to Revelations, the Lightning winning the Stanley Cup is one of the signs of the apocalypse -- it's right after pestilence, and right before the part about Jacko having kids.

One of the most important sanctuaries of antiquity, dedicated to the father of the gods Olympian Zeus. Olympia is the birth-place of the Olympic Games and also where Hank Chinaski went to school.
The area, of great natural beauty, has been inhabited by Hank uninterruptedly since the 3rd millenium B.C. and in the late Mycenaean period it became a religious centre.

Speaking of odd videos, anyone else see the Peanuts version of Hey Ya? It's classic.

Links are hard to come by since United Features did a very good job of cracking down on the perps for trademark infringement. But if you google and drill down a few pages you may be able to find a live one.

Found one. Too much work, not enough payoff. But here.

What the fuck is wrong with them.

I just got a serious craving for a veal parm grinder. Damn you Slave! Damn you!!!

Yalie question: Stuck on-campus with no car part 1) Broadway, Yorkside, Naples or Town Pizza? Part 2) Sally's, Pepe's or Modern?

A "bomber"? Explain, Texans.

I'd seen the coke/soda/pop one of these before, but I've never seen the whole website. There goes my night. The kitty-corner/catty-corner one is fascinating.
