do you have an HR department there? isn't it their duty to protect the workers from offense things?

It's fun to read about stupid celebrity shit.

No, we have no HR dept. At all. Weird for such a big company, but there you go. So I think we are just going to lynch the guy after work. Or gal.

Honestly, I don't even know who it is. But the cubicle-dwellers might.

On the plus side, Ray Allen and Allen Ray are now teammates.

Thanks for sticking to the first name, 'cause the last name would be harder to spell than Szczerbiak or Krzyzewski, and I can't even spell those right.

I don't think the FB gave enough attention to the fashion of draft night.

Who is "she"?

Do I hate celebrity news? I don't think I've ever said that. I did confess to not following the will-Paris-get-jailtime saga particularly closely. And I have an ongoing beef with the dumbing down of the coverage by the CNN's of the world. But I've even admitted here that I used to read US Weekly on a weekly basis (until the subscription Mr. Man purchased expired a few months ago). Proper outlets, etc.

In other, well, celebrity news, Isaiah Washington (aka the fired Grey's Anatomy guy) has come out (ha!) with a statement that his firing was racially motivated. You can read about it, where else, on cnn.com.* He's trying to hearken back to times when black actors were only supposed to smile and entertain and were told to shut their mouths otherwise. Nothing in his statement rings true to me, given the status of black actors in our country today, but there it is. Discuss? Would the shitstorm that hit him ever have happened to a white guy? I think he got in trouble for being an asshole, but that's just my impression. Kind of like Mel Gibson. Would Mel have been fired in the aftermath of his anti-jewish tirade if he were under contract with ABC (and of equivalent level of fame to Washington)? I think probably.

*See? It angers me, yet I read it anyway. It's a conundrum.

"She" is NFH, whose post Hank's post that I quoted had quoted.

Plasti-Posh is pretty damn hot. Though, she might not be sans curves.

"Conundrum" is a very nice wine. Sorry to you know who, but it's $30 per bottle so, outside your limit

Really? Difficult to let go of that? I heard she's anorexic now. Or something. Maybe she's in a goth band?


Ahhh. Now I see the difficulty.

How's she going to sing during the part about Linda's movie career?

That is much more appropriate. I'm relieved.


When you move on, make sure you trade up. That's my motto.
