I can't believe I'm going to buy a can of Brasso
Cafeteria Lady is still avoiding me. She also went running in to meet with the client and complain about what happened with Palooka.
But interestingly enough, she screwed up. When she was ranting at Palooka, saying she "had permission from so-and-so", this client was the so-and-so. And this client didn't give her permission for sweet bugger all. Oops.
I guess when she and Crazy Cougar Receptionist were making their little agreement (free food in exchange for letting anybody in who wants it) and their excuse in case anybody asked (so-and-so gave me the nod), somewhere along the line it was forgotten that it wasn't true.
The only thing better than making a jackass feel like a jackass is when they do it to themselves. :D
This kid looks like a misbehaving refugee from some 70's tv series, but you've got to admit he's got skills.
A woman got bit by a lion at Melbourne Zoo when she climbed over the safety barrier and stuck her hand inside the enclosure to, and I quote, "to pick a flower".
At least nobody can blame that particular bit of stupidity on video games.
Batmobile car kits, eh?
First they come after you for mp3s, then movies. Now... lyrics?
I'm so glad that the RIAA and its Canadian counterpart can't do squat to people in Canada. You can't be fined or taken to court for downloading, making, or sharing music or movies. Unless you make a profit.
Whiners.
Did you hear about the guy who had his car stolen, and when he got it back it was better? He got his ride pimped, and didn't even have to appear on the show!
And to end, is everybody as tired as I am of hearing people saying "Give - it's Christmas time!" about donating?
Go ahead and do it, but you're kind of messed up if you think that there's something special about tossing some food in the bin or a toy in the collection box for the holidays, but you do bugger all the rest of the year.
I usually eat once a day, sometimes even twice. Do you suppose that poor folk might be into that too? Or do they just have to stretch out that box of Weetabix until next year?
If you've got more cans of beans than you can fit in your bindle, any time is a good time to pass that on. Or a couple of bucks, whatever you like.
And, in my experience, the people who self-righteously whine the most about giving around the holidays are the ones least likely to give. There's nothing better than hypocrisy from someone who wants you to do something, or wants you to gush all over them when they do something.
And for the dimmer hypocrites who thought I said something hypnotism above, let me elaborate:
hy-poc-ri-sy n. pl. hy-poc-ri-sies
1. The practice of professing beliefs, feelings, or virtues that one does not hold or possess; falseness.
2. A act or instance of such falseness.
3. An expression of agreement that is not supported by real conviction [syn: lip service]
4. Insincerity by virtue of pretending to have qualities or beliefs that you do not really have.
Alright, bobbins?

What's the brasso for, then?

Daaaamn.. that kid's frighteningly good with that stick. And I've been to St Paul's, MN. Glad he didn't beat me up!

The lion was well within his rights! Those flowers are $4.95 each or an antelope shank for a dozen!

I'm sure there's a flower picking scene in Grand Theft Auto.... ;)
(Oh, except GTA is banned in Australia...)
I didn't make it to the Melbourne zoo, I went to Werribee when I was there instead. No fence for the lion pen, just a huge glass wall instead.
Plans for the trip are slowly coming together.

The Brasso certainly isn't for smearing around on something whose case ought to have a "Do Not Expose to Atmosphere" sticker on it, that's for sure!
The flower picking scene is the one that the decriers of the coffee scene haven't found yet. Shhhhhh!
Lemme know your approximate local plan when you have it, and we'll fit something in. Just not on the 26, 27, or 2. :P
No, Tursi said...
That should be possible. My original plan of harrassment on the 25th looks unlikely, but I need more details from the parental units first. Also, I need snow tires, which there's apparently a global shortage of, such that mine are being shipped from Indiana. To their credit, however, the store manager offered to have them shipped overnight to him at his expense.
Friday I intend to have an itinary, at least a partial one.
