I know it's only tangentially connected (and only connected via rage) to the topic at hand, but I must say that I saw the most mystifying(ly stupid) bootleg Calvin sticker on the back of a vehicle today. There were no other stickers on the back to identify if it was parodic, a serious political statement, or what. It's almost zen-like in its badness. Thankfully, the use of Arial means that it was actually fairly easy to GIS one and create a replica. Honestly, I'm just baffled. I just don't get it.



e: Oh, jesus, this had to be the first post on the page, didn't it? I'm sorry.

13 is the number of episodes in a series of Monty Python's Flying Circus. Dinsdale is the murderer. He can't afford a lawyer and will crack under tough questioning, so it's as good a reason as any to take a worthless unemployed off the streets.

It's Danish originally, although just now I found this info page where it says the author has lived in the US for 25 years, so who knows what's up really. My original theory was "repurposed art, new solutions" but translation issues seem more likely now, or just a bad grasp on English.

No, actually. This is just the UK spring bank holiday that used to be Whit monday but got fixed on the last Monday in May because Easter already moves too many around.

The big UK military memorial day is Remembrance Sunday in November.

You know, I looked into the business justification for huddles for the sake of hearing both sides and one of the reasons listed was to make sure employees were on the right track and not wasting a bunch of time doing the wrong thing and management didn't need to check up on them as often. So congrats to Norm Feuti for showing why this store could benefit from huddles. I wonder how much Amber's mistake just cost the store.
