Howard Hughes Vs. the Slavering Idiots from Planet Duh

[greygirlbeast]

You know your insomnia has wrought unspeakable ill upon your person, when your girlfriend forbids you to look in mirrors. I got to sleep sometime between 2:30 and 3:00 ayem, then woke at 8:45. After hardly sleeping the night before. And I was a lot more awake at 8:45 than I am right now

Here's to the improvement of your aim.

I need a bigger ion cannon.

I can waste hours thinking about all the problems such a device would solve.

Well, tut. Personally I'd text it as 'SF' and assume that everyone knew I wasn't talking about San Francisco.

You know...I've actually had people on Second Life think that I meant San Francisco when I used "SF." No fooling. Kids these days...or something.

I have the opposite problem. Whenever I see "SF Gate," I assume it's some industry mag and not San Francisco's newspaper.

Asyde from the ynsultyng, demeanyng, Lowest-Common-Denomynator-panderyng... You know what? I just can't do it.

But it does sort of make everything look Welsh.

When I was heading home from work yesterday, I realized that the Skiffy Channel's name change made perfect sense. After all, it's a longstanding tradition for companies infamous for toxic products to change their names to something that isn't already a profanity and hope that this is all they need to do. Phillip Morris changed its name to Altria. Blackwater changed its name to Xe. The Chicago Archdiocese changed its name to "NAMBLA". It happens all the time

*dies laughing*
You are hilarious. ^_^

would you then dare feel somehow justified at expressing righteous indignation upon learning that the group doesn't take sides, or offer aid or shelter?

Hrm? O_o Sounds like I missed something.
And it also sounds like I should be glad I did.

Yeah. You were one of the lucky ones. Definitely.

Please for to be enlightening me on what must be gloriously funny wank when you have time. If you like, you can just send it via email.

It may or may not go out as an AI notice. I don't have the full transcript.

Oh, Bonnie Hammer is still there. Howe's just taking the flak for the team. There's no way that Bonnie would pass up the chance to piss on Skiffy's core audience for years more.

(By the way, I was informed this morning that the long-delayed check I was owed for services rendered to Science Fiction Weekly was sent today, five months after I submitted my contract. Apparently, a lot of angry mail from very good people helped resolve a situation where legal action would have failed. In a strange way, it's a pity: I was so looking forward to outing Bonnie's personal E-mail address and phone number if I didn't get my damn check.)

I honestly thought she'd crawled off to haunt some other corporate sewer. Ah, well.

I am well aware of that odd sort of victory, when, well, sure you've won and all, but you really wanted to push the Big Red Button.

[txtriffidranch]

You know it. That was an incredibly shiny candy-like button, too.
