Our fearless leader, the inimitable TiaRachel, is down for the count with Ye Olde Creeping Crud...so you're stuck with me. I'm not as good at this as she is, so bear with me.
Below the fold you'll find some entertaining stuff to get you through your WGA-strike-induced stupor. My comment thread is your playground. And Rachel, if you're out there, may the antibodies be with you!
GAMES!
This was all the rage at work last Friday (get it? rage at work?), so I thought I'd share it with all y'all. I actually have a really cool boss now, but until recently my boss was the Evil Hosebeast from the Ninth Bolgia of the Eighth Circle of Hell. Oh, the things I dreamt of doing...
Anyway, can you find all sixteen ways to Whack Your Boss?

I've also been spending an inordinate amount of time this week playing SplashBack and Virus 2. I'm particularly amused by the social ramifications of Virus 2. Do you remember from high school sex ed the whole speech about how when you sleep with someone, you're not really just sleeping with them, but also subjecting yourself to the diseases and critters carried by everyone they've ever slept with?

RANDOM STUFF!
Star Trek Neckties! I have a friend who would get a kick out of these. But I think subjecting anyone to neckties is cruel and unusual punishment...

Books That Make You Dumb! (via BoingBoing) Someone actually went through and plotted popular books at various schools versus the average SAT and ACT scores at those schools in an attempt to arrive at a correlation between certain books and above-average intelligence. I'm proud to say that the most interesting book I read in college was Lolita*, which is near the top of the intelligence totem pole.
*Before I get flamed, NO, I'm not a pedophile. I think the book was just extremely well-written. You can actually pinpoint the exact page number whereon Humbert totally loses his shit and becomes unglued.

RANDOM YOUTUBERY!
NUMA NUMA! For some reason this came up at work the other day (random, I know). I had totally forgotten about the Great Numa Numa Craze of 2006, but here you go. Welcome to Earworm City!
In memory of my favorite dearly-departed Jack Russell Terrier, Wolfgang, I give you a Jack Russell Terrier doing what Jack Russell Terriers do...tearing shit up.

BONUS LOL...um...THING!
Extra points to anyone who can tell me just exactly what the hell this thing is. And yeah, the caption isn't that great...
That's all I got. Take the poll and hang out in the comments. And remember, NO PRIMARY TALK ALLOWED (unless it's Hillary-bashing. (I KID! I KID! OWW! Don't hit me!))
IMPORTANT UPDATE!: Ten minutes ago nhcd asked me, "Are you still in charge tonight?" My response? "Of COURSE I'm in charge, and don't you forget it." And don't YOU forget it either, ya troll hide-rate-worthy-comment-posting nincompoop!
