My whole day at the office was listening to whiny clients and whinier bosses - and then my whole evening was listening to even MORE whiny constituents and colleagues. All along, I kept thinking "at least someone will have already photoshopped "ACME" on the side of that damn NASA capsule that buried itself perfectly halfway into the desert floor, and I can see it when I finally get home and have a nice laugh".
But no one did. Yet.

I heard part of a news item about that, Commish, and I've got to ask - NASA hires movie stunt men to retrieve space mission stuff??
Hey, when I was growing up, we all drank our TANG with pride. I just don't know about this nonsense.

...with all the political discussion in the blue, it should read, meta-disaster.
Wierd. That linked site wanted to open one of my Keychains.
Posted by: ana on September 9, 2004 11:57 AMI'd like to take this moment to note that I wasn't even in the state when this happened, so it's likely not my fault.
Posted by: Crash on September 9, 2004 02:31 PMSo fast with the alibi, are you, Crash.
Next thing, you'll be claiming you had nothing to do with the hurricanes in Florida, and that somehow Justin Timberlake just found N'Sync all by himself, with no help from you.
Yeah, whatever, dude. Tell it to the news.
Posted by: Chico on September 9, 2004 04:51 PMI'm going camping till Tuesday - you kids have fun and don't let Crash get into any more mischief while I'm away. ****smooooooch****
Posted by: tizzie on September 9, 2004 05:17 PMTiz, i know where you can find a large camp fire pit(above). Have fun.
Posted by: thomcatspike on September 9, 2004 05:31 PMYou know, commish, you're right. I haven't seen an accordionized coyote all week, and frankly it's getting me down.
If it wasn't for this, my life would be little more than an endless series of wedding preparations and family obligations.
Posted by: Chico on September 10, 2004 12:21 PMOkay, I'll add my name to commish's cry -- could someone (preferably with much better photoshop-fu than Yours Truly) do that "ACME" jobber on the Genesis probe? I know someone who'd get a real kick out of it.
Posted by: Vidiot on September 10, 2004 02:27 PMThank you, Vidiot. I knew it was a good idea! I just don't have the sk1lz (or the war3z, for that matter).
Posted by: yhbc on September 10, 2004 08:46 PMPlus, it looks like all the kids with photoshop are busy making Texas National Guard memos now, so it may be a while for special requests.
s'okay, I'll wait.
Posted by: yhbc on September 10, 2004 10:34 PMOh, and just in case anyone still cares; yes, my brother-in-law is still getting great traction out of the extreme croquet thing. Here he is on NPR, of all places.
As you listen to the story, try to remember that these are real people, with whom myself and Anathema have, in fact, played croquet.
Also, try not to think about the "Schwetty Balls" bit from SNL, because it gets really distracting. NPR really is it's own best parody.
Posted by: yhbc on September 10, 2004 10:43 PMThat's awesome, commish. (Those guys should really hook up with the Billionaires for Bush.)
In other news, towerbrave comes through!

See what happens when you hang out with Nick Nolte and/or Gary Busey?
