Next time you're at Jewel pick up one of those cans that Wheezer posted. It's like drinking a nacho cheese dorito.

I take it the political content of immigration and juvenile morals didn't really come through with that one.

Don't be so surprised.

Let's leave the food and beverage reconquista to the Swedes...

The "clams" aren't going to last forever.

You can bet that after four years, we will become familiar with the consequences of the Leftist paradigm shift.

I hesitate to draw analogies.

"T" was a lovely programming language.

And APL was cheery.

Are there no myopes here who register pure terror at the notion of inescapable visual focus?

Anyone have a favorite free FTP client for Windows?

Your browser can't parse "ftp://"?  For that matter, hasn't there been a perfectly serviceable command-line implementation since NT 4 at least?

OK, this is a real one:  Has anyone used Chicago Emergency Veterinary Services at 3123 North Clybourn?

I haven't, no.

Fortunately, I can still say that neither have I.  And that the serology is quicker than the eye.

OK, this is a real one:  Has anyone used Chicago Emergency Veterinary Services at 3123 North Clybourn?  My eldest cat is looking hypokalemic (potassium), and depending on how things go tonight, I may have to soon make a decision between these guys and the clinic in Homer Glen, which has regular hours on Sunday.

I'd have to take a cab from Hyde Park in any event, so I thought I'd see if anyone could confirm or deny the worth of the operation on Clybourn.  (In particular, whether they are barbiturate-happy.  I'm too old and fractious to argue the issue of casual euthanasia with a vet again.  The cat also seems to have appreciated the extra five years since the last time, for that matter.)

Yeah, I'm not watching this anymore.

You'll need to not do that on Wednesdays starting November 5--NBC has apparently arrived at the conclusion that maybe "Knight Rider" would be a better lead-in.  Having never seen any of these programs ("Law & Order" completing the triptych), I'm not sure whether the moniker "Crime Night" is meant to be droll.

I start telecommuting 2 days/week in November.

Work on 1 PC, Desipio/SBox/pR0n on the other.

You all wish you were me.

Hell, I haven't been in the office for more than 4 hours a day in a few years.  The telecommuting half of the operation isn't all it's cracked up to be, though, as getting the same amount of things done simply takes longer, and doesn't always proceed linearly, allowing work to insinuate itself into all sorts of nooks and crannies spread throughout the day.

Then again, the geniuses who ran the place briefly a spell back managed to aggressively queer a long-standing contract in the name of "expanding the [nonprofit] business," so as of yesterday, I'll basically be going in with nothing to do until the end of November, at which point the "we're really sorry we hired that nitwit" severance kicks in for an entire department.

It's unfortunate, in that I'm probably otherwise unemployable after years of "flex time," but then again, once the last bit of original work was completed my luck seemed to take a dramatic turn for the better, which I'll happily accept in the best synchronistic spirit.

It doesn't fully come to a boil until ~2:05, stage center right dagnabit.

I'm thinking this is a must-have.

Sigh.  Where's Rita Tushingham when Liberty really needs her?
