Extra fun structured lists!

[fancycwabs]

1. Last night we blocked (somewhat) the seduction scene in The Underpants. The woman playing Gertrude made a point of telling everyone she didn't mind being groped or anything onstage, which is good, as I'm apparently getting to second base.


2. One of my lines in the show during the seduction scene is "Desire adjusts morality." I suggested that, translated into Latin, would be appropriate for stamping on any currency bearing the likeness of our current president.


3. For realistic business networking instead of zombies and pirates, I've joined LinkedIn. Naturally among the first persons added to my contacts is my old professor at Georgia Tech, George P. Burdell.


4. While googling my actual name doesn't turn up much interesting, googling "fancycwabs" gets some really exciting items (for various definitions of "exciting"):
   • A podcast of my voice post where I sing "Bakin' Cookies"
   • A joke about what a "New York Steamer" sandwich would be called if it had been invented in Cuyahoga County, from a page listing posts about the Cuyahoga County Library
   • A comment from Boing Boing under the topic "Spider-Man's Radioactive Spooge Killed Mary Jane!
   • A two-sentence review of an Amy LaVere album, snatched from here and put on its own page
   • Another comment from Boing Boing where I make conjectures about Reed Richards' intellectual capacity, putting the garage on the top floor of the Baxter Building
   • A twitter aggregator by subject called buzztter, which might be fun to play with


5. Jones Soda makes fizzy grape candy. I can testify that it is both grape, and fizzy. For those who might be questioning my consumption of grape candy while on a diet, I suggest the following:
   • Each piece is 2.5 calories (that's US calories, Britons)
   • Screw you. Grape fizzy candy!


6. They've blocked flickr here at work full-time now (it used to be accessible before eight and after four), so it'll be a while before I get around to showing y'all pictures of snow in Memphis, and of a barbecue sandwich I got at a cinderblock shack at the crossroads of Macon and Pisgah. I should note that the very best barbecue sandwiches in Memphis also seem to coincide primarily with places that also serve forties. Is that true in other cities?


7. As predicted, we had to "buy the advertising" for the little cwab's High School Musical program ourselves. I don't know if that's a scam to eliminate royalty payments (which are based on ticket prices), or some other sort of scam, but between that and all the other incidental fees charged over the year, you'd think she wasn't going to public school at all.

I love that "Screw you. Grape fizzy candy!" is a suggestion.

*snerk* A bee. What kind of mascot is a bee?

[fancycwabs.livejournal.com]

More people are scared of bees than are scared of beavers and ducks combined, my friend.

[loree-borealis.livejournal.com]

Aha! But what about a Bearcat?



(Full disclosure: my high school mascot was a Lambkin:

So I shouldn't be startin' no shit slingin'. Also - I am a bit afraid of bees.)

I shouldn't mention what it looks like Football Clyde is doing to my carpet. Get off my carpet and do that in the yard, Football Clyde!

"Desire adjusts morality" is really only true of sociopaths, or the sociopathic tendencies in all of us. Just because I want $OBJECT doesn't mean that stealing $OBJECT is morally justified.

I have never seen a live one (or even a non-artistically-rendered not-alive one), but I'm told it's another name for a wolverine. Which is some sort of badger-like animal, afaik, and we all know that badgers are bad-ass.

You guys are so mean. Football Clyde is not taking a dump, he is looking intimidating, and casting a dark shadow on his enemies.

I think we can all agree that if we saw a lambkin in that position, we'd steer clear of him.

I've had the Jones Soda candy in the green apple flavor. It's well worth the whopping 2.5 calories.
