Ski Event, Website Postponed Due To Snow
"Men's ski events delayed due to snow." IDK? Related! We are taking the rest of the day off in sympathy. (And due to extremely poor server performance.)
Well, there's always curling to watch.
Don't even try to sass curling. I have it on at work right now. It's the one time every 4 years that my beloved curling is on tv and I will not have it mocked.
My apologies to you, curling enthusiast.
As a mea culpa, I will provide these fun facts on curling:
Curling apears to have started in Scotland in the late medieval period. The Scots believe the best round stones used in the sport (?) are made of a special granite found on a tiny island off the Aryshire coast. The granite, called Ailsite, has special properties which slows down water absorption, which helps prevent freezing and melting water from damaging the stone. However, the island has been turned into a wildlife preserve, so no more quarrying for the special granite.
This development makes the Scots, sad.
I am stuck in an airport and SO BORED.
Whatever. You're out buying rubbers.

Maybe this is okay. I always tune in out of objective curiosity, and then I start seeing all the sexy foreign names, and then I start picturing in my head what they all look like, and then the Barry White starts up, and everything's in slo-mo, and I'm waiting and waiting because now I NEED to see them unmask, and then all of a sudden the event ends and they take off their giant David Cronenberg goggles and it's like scrrrreeeeeeech!
What I'm saying is, they really need to either weed out the urgly ones, or show you a picture way in advance so you don't waste all that time.
I would like you to recap the entire Olympics in this manner, please.
The server's been slower than a {generic equatorian} bobsledder.
I'm stuck at work.
On my birthday.
With strep throat.
And no Awl for the rest of the day.
I haz sad.
That sucks, The Superbowl ruined my birthday and I had a migraine, also no Awl cos it were Sunday.
Happy B-Day anyway!
Thanks, I'm going to Odeon with friends for dinner and I will force feed my self French food sore throat be damned!
Happy Birthday! Feel better!
Happy Birthday!
Buy a trashy magazine on your way home, wrap yourself in a Snuggie and pour yourself a glass of wine.
Hope you feel better soon.
Happy birthday, snifflebunny.
My best gay shares your birthday. Kudos!
Remember, as signified by my STD Pet thug name, you can transmit strep sexually. Cepacol chased with bourbon is my script. Two kudos!
@ garge: oh yes, I told my boyfriend: "Hey, I have strep! Which means you do too."
Happy birthday!!
On account of the strep, I am now relieved that I couldn't make it on Saturday? (Aw, who am I kidding. Still sad!)
Happy Birthday! Although the circumstances suck.
@Mantooth: Oh and it was a TIME. We'll do another one soon – email me your availability. (That goes for the rest of you too! We're really friendly! Email me and come meet us for drinks!)
@jolie: I am not so much friendly as amenable.
@HG: sssssshhhhh, you have to let them think we're friendly.
Goons, darlin', I will totally take amenable!
I am SO IN next time.
Happy birthday! Unironically!
Happy BD Goons.
Booooo!
(But have fun not skiiing…)
It's okay to tell us you're shutting down early to snuggle up under the afghan Balk's gramma made for him for some romantic time. We'll understand.
YAY!!! Happy B'day HG!! Feel better.
(please note I did not mention my birthday for any kind of attention, but thanks everyone!)
You all cheered me up a little!
I was just opening a bottle of wine, I will now say I'm doing so in your honor!
"HIPY PAPY BTHUTHDTH THUTHDA BTHUTHDY", Hired! Hopefully you will recover soon (and you & the BF don't keep re-infecting each other.)
(As one who has suffered often from strep and eventually had her tonsils removed, I can heartily assure you that strep throat is a picnic compared to an adult tonsillectomy.)
