Nielson ratings, what they base what's hot on , so that advertising can be rated and adjusted. Keep up the good work SR!

A woman I work with watches zombie movies. She made a reference yesterday to The 5th element.
I am bringing in Serenity today.
BWAHAHAHAHAAA!!!
I'll probably have to watch Shaun of The Dead to balance the act, but she assures me it's funny.

Oh the 5th Element references. Do you remember what it was?
Muahahahahahaha another convert in the making :D
Shaun of the Dead is funny, but I still don't think it's as funny as Hot Fuzz :P (that's just me)

Hey bread pudding is good... HUGS Neko:)
Doing ok so far... though I will say I can't really recommend having your abdomen sliced open so deep it takes 8 layers of stitches plus a layer of titanium staples to close it ( though a 9 inch scar is kind cool)
Baby is doing well and sleeping decently ..pics have been posted:)

(Drags sorry self into the bar, shambles onto a stool, puts head down and hand out, cupped to receive the next bevvie which is proffered.)
"So there I was, going out to grab a Coke before tonight's meeting, since nobody was there and I hadn't had any caffeine since 7am and it's about 6:30...."
I was patiently waiting well out of the intersection for a chance to make a left (the way you do), when I saw two cars approaching from that direction. One of them had flashing lights and they were both moving pretty quickly. The other car seemed to be pulling over to let the police car pass (the way you do). Only he wasn't pulling over or slowing down. So he passes in front of me (just barely clipping my bumper and doing what feels like pushing me back about 3 feet or so) and up onto the curbHOLYSHIT!!!
I was a speed bump in a high-speed car chase.
Have you ever noticed how time seems to slow down and your thoughts become very clear when this sort of thing happens? I really do hope you never have the opportunity for empirical analysis if you can avoid it.
It went something like this:
"Hmm.. that was an accident. I think the police usually want to speak to you after an accident. Pity I was involved because I'm NEVER going to get that Coke now. I'll just turn off the car and sit patiently here until they want to speak to me. Oh look! They have the passenger side door of the car that hit me open, they're pointing a lot of guns into it and yelling. I think I'll just duck down in case they start shooting. Hm.. that's really not much protection. I think I'll just get out of the car and walk quickly to a safer distance. Oh look, now they have him on the groundDIE YOU FUCKING BALDING BASTARD!! Why won't someone kick him for me? Can I kick him? Please? Yes that is my car. No I do not wish to speak to you, nosy rubbernecking jackasses, I am waiting to speak to the police. Yes, I'm fine. I'm a nurse and I know I shouldn't have moved or gotten out of the car, but I considered it a better option to possibly getting caught in crossfire. No I would not like to go inside your store, I am just going to wait for the police to come ask me questions because I KNOW that's what's coming next. Poor car. Poor, poor car. Well, at least we're all getting new license plates soon 'cause that one's kissed. Yes, yes rubbernecker it's all very exciting, go away."
And so it went until the police asked me if that was my car. A nice young man took my statement, but had the unfortunate luck to be talking to me when I was hungry, tired, thirsty, in serious caffeine deficit, angry, frightened, hyped on adrenaline, and had reached the point where I was about to start giggling hysterically as a coping mechanism. So he's paraphrasing me, got something wrong (a couple somethings, actually), went to correct it, and then I could not stop myself.
He had written "I seen two police cars.."
I had most definitely NOT said that, so I said "I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude but I think (pointing) that should be saw, not seen". (Poor, poor duckling.. do you think they saw me coming?)
Yes, I grammar policed a cop trying to take a statement about an accident I'd just been in.
Wow.
Just wow.
My English major/teacher friends were impressed when I told them at dinner. "That is awesome." said one.
So this will be our third time talking to the insurance company in about a year, and the body shop gets to meet our other car! 
It had been such a nice, uneventful day up until then.

I am very glad to hear that you're safe SR. (Can I get a kick in too for what he did to you? I promise to make it a hard kick and in some very sensitive spots...
)
Dunno how the insurance works in your state (where I am, we've got no-fault car insurance -- it's the car that's insured, not the driver...nit picks I know). Hopefully this one won't be causing your rates to rise (you've got proof that you were not at fault) -- though I have a feeling that your insurance rep is going to wonder about your luck lately...
And I disagree...getting out of the car that just became the newest decoration on the curb next to police officers aiming guns at the car that hit you is a perfect reason to get out of the car and outta the way. (No extra preforations in SR!! Especially the kind where metallic projectiles are spewed out of a cylinder fueled by gunpowder!!!)
I'm pretty sure that the police officer who took your statement figured it out that with the excitement, you'd be a little punchy and focused on minor things...
*places stash of dark chocolates, liquor filled chocolates, hershey's kisses, and assorted other "I can't believe this just happend" treats next to SR*

OMG! I'm very glad you're okay SR!
Although there's part of me that knows it's wrong, there's another part of me that thinks we should at least be able to get in one good kick while they have the guy on the ground...
Do you know what they were chasing him for? It might help to know that he's going away to prison for a billion years...
