Snow in Seattle: Pic O’ The Day!

December 22, 2008 – 9:10 am

Beaver Movie Goes On the Down Low to Come Out On Top

December 11, 2008 – 1:29 pm

Beaver shots are, indeed, one of our evergreen subjects around these parts, although if yours is green I’d recommend that Monistat stuff or maybe some nutritious, low-cal cranberry and yogurt smoothies.
Ahem.
And so it is that, once again, we are posting about beaver. Well, everybody loves beaver, right? Why, it’s the national animal of Canada! But [...]

Eavesdropping at the Ovaltine

December 1, 2008 – 5:25 pm

See, this is why I need a laptop. So I don’t have to snarf the last half of my meal and RUN home, desperately trying not to jostle my brain and let all the golden eavesdrops fall out.
More or less verbatim, heard from my perch on the highly prestigious “booth side” of the Ovaltine, coming [...]

At Your Service

November 16, 2008 – 6:55 am

Ever wondered how those swanky hotels manage to be so irritatingly perfect all the time? It takes people like this, and if you think this is exaggerated, you’ve spent your work life in places with lower standards.
