Math!
High Five!
I could have sworn I had seen somewhere that Disney was going to run a Captain America 2 TV spot, but I must have missed it. Either that or they pulled it because they figured fewer people would be watching after half time.
It was during the pregame. I caught it before all the parents' guests had arrived and triggered my introvert claustrophobia retreat upstairs to stat nasties for CoT.

I stayed safely in my room for the duration of the game, but I did get this hilarious summary of the situation from Scint:
so we have a crowded downstairs of people for the sportsball annual ritual sacrifice
There is much feasting upon the sacred foods
Referred to in the ancient tongue, translating roughly to "Blood of the strongest." The closest approximation I can give is "Poht Lak"
I believe after the moon chant they will complete the heresy of causing a pig to fly.
Figures, he's mining me for favorites now.
For the record, I would prefer the badger to the blizzard we're due.

I could run some tests.
Oh! How fortuitous! A badger is in this very thread!

My car has been stuck in the driveway all day. I didn't take it out all day yesterday, so it sat during the thaw, and then several inches of snow fell on the mud. So it's not stuck in the snow, the wheels actually sank into the mud and the tires just spin when I try to drive. I spent about 2 hours today trying to free it to no avail; digging, salting, pushing, rocking - nothing has worked.
Tomorrow we are going to get some kitty litter to try that. If that does work, we will have to call for a winch.
Try rock salt. I find it tends to work faster for breaking up the ice.
Sorry about the job Freehold. I'm glad they made the effort to at least notify you... I hate waiting for some word, any word, on jobs I've submitted for.
Hope you have a mount to sleep inside.I didn't ride my bike today. Some would call that good sense. Me? I call it cowardice.
Meh, you can't 'saber open a bike to shelter in it. How big are your co-workers? {flips open Ed Gein's "Tents for Dummies" book}
Euro - Fawtl is weird. Like JLE weird.
{flashes back to pre-teen Amby having weird new thoughts about Power Girl and Crimson Fox}
I rather liked JLE.

Rawr, we can always shave you to find out! And I have a shaver here! Custom one I bought from some shady guy with a thick Russian accent.
Let's see... safety manual... Eh, normal stuff. Don't get ears too close to the blades... blah blah blah... power source prone to random explosions... blah blah blah... radiation exposure from leaky power pack... blah blah blah... gets hot if not oiled... blah blah blah... Troubleshooting information consists only of the number for 911... Yep! Perfectly safe!
Hold on while I grab some oil for it... that heating issue sounds bad.

Breakfast, 3:00 A.M., who'd guess?
:D
Sounds good, I've a game of "Mice & Mystics" tonight. The sky is blue & I still have 3 items to do before I even think about what I need to do for Thursdays game.
Overclocking at work to compensate for slacking off.

I blame Freehold.
As well you should. His love for the evil frozen sky water is well known. Indeed, he is proud of it! All bad winter things that happen are his fault.
I think we either need to develop a weather dominator or learn weather controlling magic. Then we can make sure that, wherever he is, it is always summer, yet never the 4th of July.
Depending on who you listen to, we are looking at between 5 and 12 inches of snow in the next few days. Therefore I have, once again, exiled myself to the hotel for a day or two.
I blame Freehold.
Scint's due for the same today, and me this weekend. We know your pain.

I no longer know this pain, but I feel it with you! Stay strong against the frozen sky water, my friends! Stay warm!!

Man, I am so sick of management double speak. Just say what you mean, darn it!

Ooh, wassat? Google tells me a boardgame, that looks entertaining. Anything more than that is beyond the work firewall. :P
Overclocking at work to compensate for slacking off.That sounds familiar. I'm sure....some other guy who's totally not me.....has engaged in the same action.

Be careful out there BP. Also, are taxi drivers insane everywhere in the world? (Apologies to any taxi driver FAWTLers :P )

Sample thus far:
The One was All. The One was None. It was without face, without shape, without name. And yet it was possessed of potential for anything. Its thought was life. Its word was oblivion.
The One had wandered the Black Beyond for eons, seeking a place of its own. It moved from realm to realm, world to world, universe to universe, swimming through the void, breaching the barriers between existences without hesitation. It could not be stopped, because what it was was not. Yet it could not act, for it had not found its place; in all its endless wandering, all it had found was that which already was claimed. Such was the only limit upon its reach - it could not act upon the work of another’s hand.
So it searched, and wandered, and watched, and dreamed. It saw the works of others, and saw that they were good, or efficient, or interesting, or desirable. It could not touch, nor take, nor steal, but it could remember, and adapt, and invent.
And in time, it found what it sought. A dark pocket of space and time, outside all established realities and unrealities, far from the reach of other Crafters. When it found this place, it sensed immediately that it had found a place for its own, and so shrouded its prize in a cloak of darkness and starlight, to hide from prying eyes until its work was done.
Within its globe of shimmer and night, The One began its work. It had seen the many worlds Crafted by Others, and wished to do the same for its own. But it had seen much, in its eternities of wandering, and was of many minds as to how to begin.
Give it form and function, perfectly suited to the tasks it must perform, spoke an iron spark, unwavering and true.
Give it power and fury, that nothing may stand before it, that it may claim all it wishes and crush all it opposes, hissed a sinister cloud, seething and boiling.
Give it freedom and flexibility, that it be not restrained, to bend rather than break, burbled a liquid flame, ever-burning in endless shapes.
Give it heart and soul and an iron will, with respect and honor to all rather than only the one, sang a pure note, sincere and without guile.
Give it life and breath and being, and give them unto us, that what is not may be, what is formless may have shape, what cannot be seen given sight, what is one may be many, instructed an endless eye, which saw without sight and heard without hearing, and perceived all things.
And The One thought of all these things, and thought them well; and thus to give way to its conflicting influences it sundered itself, dividing its essence among the voices.

That sounds kinda dirty, Freehold.

As did I.
