I'd like two 5-piece chicken nuggets

I pull up to the order screen and the girl says
"I'll be right there with you."

Not "I'll be right there."
Not "I'll be right with you."

Seems like an odd thing to say.
"I'll be right there with you."

Although I appreciate that she will always be there for me at the drive-thru (open 'til 2AM) I am a married man and I don't think I should accept a lifelong commitment from a woman I've only spoken to through a speaker grill.

Gap between rich and poor

Steve Douglass points me to a New York Times article...
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/29/business/29tax.html?ex=1332907200&en=7a75e549037fb358&ei=5124&partner=permalink&exprod=permalink

"The top 1 percent received 21.8 percent of all reported income in 2005, up significantly from 19.8 percent the year before and more than double their share of income in 1980. The peak was in 1928, when the top 1 percent reported 23.9 percent of all income."


Hey, 1928 was a good time for everyone. Life was simple and you could work on the railroad for pennies a day before being totally killed, chopped in half and eviscerated over a 2 mile section of track so a billionaire could buy half of New York.

I must be in the top one percent since my personal income increased 650% in FY 2006 as I moved from grinding unemployment to making literally hundreds of dollars a week! Also, I grabbed Ben Bernanke's toupee and sold it on eBay.

Tonight on Comcast

A show called "Modern Marvels" about the history of bricks.
It's an hour long.

Juh-zee-zus!

Everybody give it up for Jesus!
Way to not be dead!
We're all really impressed down here.
Although technically it isn't a resurrection if you don't return to the world of the living. In fact, according to basic Christianity you're basically dead, in so much as you're not on Earth. So stop going on about "Oh I'm not dead, look at me!" You're dead like everyone else - so shutup!
