I know they do, I mean the scripts would settle which one flubbed first.
Anyway about the whole inauguration thing, can someone explain to me what all the teary enthusiasm's about? So another blob of flesh transported itself to a spot, put a portion of itself on a rectangular prism of cellulose matter, moved over to a transducer device, and contracted vocal cords to convey to other blobs of flesh a bunch of sappy hokum that an army of speechwriters previously imprinted onto a piece of cellulose matter. Was there something more to it, like magical pixie dust in the air, or am I just cynical? |

Yeah, I'm sure that'll last. Assuming it's even started in deed as much as word, which isn't a given. ![]() |

I hated the inauguration and all the security associated with it, mainly because I've had to work 12 hour tours since last week, standing by to assist in processing prisoners in case there were mass arrests. I would have much rather been sleeping in my bed than sleeping at a desk at my post.
Upside is that I've done at least $1500 in overtime. ![]() |
