Good Friday is a day for remembering the sacrifice of the lord and quiet reflection. Unless, apparently, you work for an American company, in which case he can go to heck (he did, you know) and you can go to work.

So YHB is sitting his arse in the office, slowly going mad and listening to the Rankin Family on the intertubes.

Game last night was good, although it stopped part way through because of a player's desire to talk things over with the GM.

Out of songs on the Rankin's website, so I've turned on Pandora. Yay for lax enforcement of web usage regulations!

The name dropping was kind of cool yesterday. If you missed it, I suggest you go back and enjoy.

So, it's so busy today we just had a team building exercise of five hands of poker. I swear, some days. They could just let me go home, you know. I'm kind of dying for a massage. Or maybe an epsom bath instead.

The City Desk is a neat humour blog about a fictional newspaper in a fictional city. Today's installment of Friday Facts includes this little nibblet:

The “Photon Torpedo Pranksters” make an annual one-night event of painting Star Trek uniforms on statues around the city (don’t worry, the Pranksters make sure to use washable paint). This year, targets included painting the statue of Pinnochio at Mabel Tripp Gardens’ Wonderland Walk to resemble Enterprise engineer Geordi LaForge, tinting the fiberglass cow outside of City Hall in the colors of an original series medical officer, and - as usual - the bronze statue of President William Taft in Mabel Tripp Gardens painted to resemble James T.Kirk’s Starfleet Academy tormentor, Finnegan.

Man. That's an AWESOME idea.

When they did the cows in TO, Toronto Trek should have bought one and painted it like Kirk.
