Oh Lordy...

So, Liz M bought me a calendar of George W. Bush quotes. Most of them aren't even that spectacular, varying from speeches that make no point to double entendres to veiled insults that were supposed to be complements to his usual bungling of the English language.

But this one...woooo nelly.

"See, free nations do not develop weapons of mass destruction."

The editor's comment is a sparse but wonderfully underdone sarcastic quip : They don't? So, that settles it. The Cold War? We weren't free. Just so's you know...

I *heart* you, HP

You may be going bankrupt or whatever from picking up Compaq, but I *heart* you.

My computer arrived today. Ha ha! Triumph of the 3rd Business Day repair warranty! I send it out Monday, it comes back to me today. Whoa. Seriously, I was worried it would come Monday when I have jury duty to get out of and I'd have to get my boss to watch out for it.

They fixed everything I made mention of having a problem with. Apparently, the heatsink/fan needed replacement (which would explain why it kept shutting down--too hot), as did the display (because of the flickering screen), and they replaced the battery which is muchos unexpected. My battery's been kind of shitty because I left it in the laptop while on AC power (something you're not supposed to do, I've learned from my other electronics), but the computer's had a tough time with it anyway. It kept not realizing the battery was charged and saying it was at 0% charge when I hadn't used it. It would keep the charging logo in the corner of the toolbar even when, after clicking on the icon, it said it was 100% charged. And now, thanks to a complaint, I've got a new one.

Hurrah! I can return my family's laptop this weekend. My sister will be overjoyed. Now, just have to cross my fingers that everything is really fixed, see about updating all my software and getting my files back from Pooch.

It's Time to Play Everyone's Favorite Game...

Blame Liz M, she started it last night with a Jack & Bobby based combo: Jack, Nate, and Tom.

The name of the game is F, Marry, Kill, or as some of you know it, 'do, date, or dump.' I prefer F, Marry, Kill because not only is it more violent, it celebrates marital infidelity!

So, here's the skinny. I'll post an f-marry-kill combo here, and replies will address the replier's preference. Any and all should respond, and new threads of f'ing, marrying, or killing will start in new replies. Now, let's have fun! Hmm, let's see, who to choose...

F, Marry, Kill: the Batmans: Adam West, Michael Keaton, or Christian Bale?

For the menfolk, you can respond to this, too, and we ladies won't think less of you (might think more of you, come to think of it), but here's one for you, too...(ladies, ring in if you will)

F, Marry, Kill: the comic movie babes: Michelle Pfeifer as Catwoman, Rebecca Romijn as Mystique, or Rosario Dawson as Gail (from Sin City--and you might want to check out her little getup before answering...whoa...)

Get cracking! Or F'ing!
