You Are Biscotti

You are a very direct, honest person. You don't have time for dramatics or emotional pleas. You feel most comfortable in the intellectual realm, especially with science and technology. You are good at understanding difficult subjects. Understanding people? Not so much.

Bag O Crap XVII: Crap On A Hot Tin Roof

Santa knows robots don’t celebrate Christmas.

So why should they get anything from his magical Sack o’ Crap? Wouldn’t it be better if living, breathing humans – the kind who love, who laugh, who actually read these product descriptions – have first dibs on all that garbage?

Yes. Yes, it would. So to keep the robots from destroying Christmas, we set up another sale where the real Sacks o’ Crap are. Try this link and you just might find a humans-only sack full of crap no human should want, assuming that one hasn’t sold out yet, too.

Of course, it probably has. Even Santa can only do so much.

THE HOLY CRAP COMMANDMENTS v3.0

I. Thou shalt expect nothing beyond ONE bag of some kind and THREE crappy items.

II. Thou shalt not whine and complain when some people’s crap turns out to be nicer than yours.

III. Thou shalt take a moment to consider whether you might be better off just not buying this crap.

IV. Thou shalt not expect better crap just because things are different this time. Crap is crap.

V. To paraphrase Stephen Stills, shalt thou not get the crap you want, want the crap you get.

tapestry01 @ 06:55 pm: Snowy Eve
I just spent the last two hours navigating the icy/snowy/crappy streets of Tulsa, but the important thing is that my family is all home safe and sound. We're gonna build a fire in the fireplace and maybe have some hot cocoa. Happy holidays, folks!

fyrfitrmedic @ 07:00 pm: cool

mhaithaca @ 05:25 pm: Should sleep well tonight...
I got to sleep at a reasonable time last night, but was woken at 2:30am by what I'm guessing was a pocket-dial or an inadvertent click, from an unrecognized 360 (Washington area?) number. I could hear people talking in the background, but they didn't seem to hear me. I thought about calling back, but decided if they really meant to talk to me, they'd figure out a way.

Can't help but wonder if this was a result of my putting my phone number on the Facebook page for supporting Arrow Trucking drivers. The timing makes it make sense. Ah well.

Of course, I couldn't fall asleep again for an hour and a half.

Time to go home!

mccarvillerept @ 02:26 pm: Governor Declares State Of Emergency

http://wwwtmrcom.blogspot.com/2009/12/governor-declares-state-of-emergency.html

Governor Henry today declared a State of Emergency for all 77 Oklahoma counties due to the winter storm affecting many areas of the state.

The declaration provides a formal mechanism for local governments to seek reimbursement for recovery costs through the state’s disaster public assistance program should conditions warrant. The executive order is also the first step toward seeking federal aid should it be necessary.

“We began preparing for the winter storm yesterday by pre-positioning assets across the state and ramped up response efforts this morning when the ice and snow began to fall. State troopers, National Guardsmen, emergency management officials, transportation personnel and other first responders are all on the job, helping Oklahomans everywhere they can. The latest emergency order will assist this response effort and help us cover the costs associated with it.

“I am urging all Oklahomans to take winter storm precautions and stay off the roads unless travel is absolutely necessary. This is a very serious winter storm and we want Oklahomans to stay safe.”

og_news @ 07:09 pm: Press Notes

http://gallifreynewsbase.blogspot.com/2009/12/press-notes.html

Russell T Davies has told The Guardian how he took Pop Idol as his inspiration for the rebirth of Doctor Who. He tells the paper how he used to go to a friend's house to watch the final with several others. He says "I wanted to do that with drama. If we could have the voice at the beginning of The X Factor introducing each episode I would do it."

In a somewhat different interview, Davies has caused controversy by voicing his concerns about the future of the BBC, should the Conservative Party win the 2010 General Election. Davies told The Mirror he fears the BBC will be dismantled by the Tories and is convinced that a move to freeze the licence fee by the Conservatives will be the beginning of the end for the corporation. "They'll dismantle it slowly. It'll get smaller and smaller until it just supports Radio 4 and some news. I'll come back and fight them at the barricades. I feel a bit like Alan Bennett, who said his favourite things about Britain were the BBC and the NHS." Davies's remarks were picked up by many UK papers, but not it seems in Conservative Central office. When journalist Matt Withers rang their press office for a statement he was told they wouldn't comment on it, because "Mr Davies is a backbench MP and, as such, his opinion isn't necessarily party policy".

Veteran actress June Whitfield has told The Sun of a particular problem she had while recording The End of Time, when the script called for her to goose David Tennant, "Well, he is so thin that it was difficult to find the bottom!" says Whitfield, 84. "But this was in the script, I promise."
