I love me some kerfuffle

Oh man. Coming home from dinner tonight there was some kind of altercation happening between a taxi driver and a couple of our redneck neighbors. In the middle of the street. That's some good Friday night entertainment right there. We ran into a bunch of people we know at the restaurant - my husband's parents and grandparents, one of his co-workers, and one of my co-workers (the one that calls me "sport"), who was having dinner with his wife. Then we got seated in the booth behind them. So there was no venting about work over dinner, which made my husband a happy man indeed. There was this rather large family having dinner at the table next to us. By large, I don't mean there were a lot of them. Bear in mind that this restaurant has their "bottomless seafood" thing going on, so it's like all you can eat. And these people could eat. In the end the mom was still eating while her two kids and her husband just kind of sat there watching. They were eating when we arrived, and she had a full plate in front of her when we were leaving - an hour and a half later. Some days I feel like a beached elephant seal, but at least I have the self-control and common sense to not try to consume my own weight in cheesy biscuits and seafood pasta.

We should all move to France, they have legislated 35 hour work weeks. Zut alors!
As a result, next weeks work motto will be:




Oh, and just because this totally grosses M out - our office flies are full of punch.
I am the death bringer, smoosher of bugs...There can be only one!
But, to appease her and get back in her good graces, here's the video to go along with Marilyn Manson's re-do of This Is Halloween from the 3-D re-release of The Nightmare Before Christmas in select theaters:

He blew his nose at the table and you should have seen the look on my husband's face. Uck. I think you commented before I linked the vid that's there now.

the redo actually isnt that bad, for Marilyn Manson!! and the end is great, when Jack rises from the acidic fountain.

I'm so sad I can't see it in 3-d.
:( but the music video is nice.
