I finally got me an ostrich! Very cute!

Ah, okay, thanks! I love reading them, but James Marsters is phenomenal on the audio books, so maybe I'll check that collection out as well.

I've been meaning to read Side Jobs - does it finally explain the sasquatch? Gotta do something while I'm waiting for the next book!

I'm currently doing a re-listen to Name of the Wind and catching a lot of references I missed on the first read and first listen.

My man R2-D2. Took no shit from anyone, did what he thought was right, was around from the beginning, and survived practically everything. Plus was a loyal friend to Threepio even when he was acting like an idiot

I loved the SW card game as a kid, but everyone wanted to play Magic instead. I will admit, however, that the rules probably weren't the greatest.

Carrot in a Box is legendary because of Sean Lock. I watch at least once a month

Yeah, more an aspect of where I've lived than everyone. Although I've yet to see a farm on the beach, which is what I really want. Drinking fresh milk while you watch the waves...the dream!

"Stop laughing," the department chief said in an interview with WLMY. "This is a wheel problem for us."

The company also said it would “accept Twitter.com as compensation">

Lol

I feel like important context is that they were kids of the manager. That changes this from a bad corporate governance and exploitation of labor situation to something else: a bad parenting/child abuse, bad corporate governance and exploitation of labor situation.

Anyone else hate that the Gadsden flag has been appropriated by ultra-libertarian jingoists? It's an awesome-looking flag with a cool history and symbolism, but I feel like I couldn't fly it without looking like a twat.
