“We see the emerging opportunity to ‘snackify’ beverages and ‘drinkify’ snacks as the next frontier in food and beverage convenience,” Ms. Nooyi said.

I really want to ask the ridiculous question “But then how do you say DAWN” like it can be answered in text. Piff.

nice to see Wolverine and jubilee back together even if marvel decided on lets make her a vampire and then have wolverine have to be responsible for possibly curing her. instead of finding some other way to reunite her with the x-men like she develops new powers. or some one finds a way to reverse the Scarlet witche’s little no more mutants.

Van – That was gorgeous. Thank you for sharing.
I think I’ve gone blind trying to make sense of that map.
Morning, DP! I’m finally back to work today. I could probably use a sick day today because my cold still has me in it’s grips, but I’ll survive it.
Have a great day!
Lo – re:Dr. Who
I felt the same way about this last season as you did … but I loved loved loved the Xmas Special!
So don’t give up hope.
(Best line “Blinky lights and buttons!! It’s got my name written all over it ! … well, given a crayon and some time.”)
There’s always hope!
Nomad I love the whizz bang gee woo aspect of Who. Very much….when its written well. And when I dont feel like everything was for nothing. And when I dont feel I was being taken for granted as a fan. Again, we’ll see. Keep the faith I am I am!
I told a co-worker yesterday how I was really looking forward to Cowboys and Aliens and he asked why.
I said that it has Harrison Ford and that pretty girl from Tron and ALIENS and COWBOYS and DIRT!!!
and he responds with..
“So, it’s because YOU are a dirty dirty girl.”
o.O
Not only did I find a free Scrabble game for my Android phone.
I found someone who LOVES Scrabble as much as me who just got himself a fancy new Android phone.
This brings me joy.
On a less happy note.
I’m actually considering going to urgent care or at least making a dr. appt this morning. I already have one appt at 10, but if I can’t drive to it, it’s a bit of a moot point.
I have a pinched nerve in my neck that is causing me extreme pain. It’s shooting all the way down my right arm this time.
gah!
You should go. Fo sho.
Go, Cj, go!!
54 degrees F in my office this morning.
I have another appt at 10 already so depending how the pain is after that. I’d take a muscle relaxant if I didn’t have to drive.
Good lord, EssBee.
Right? I email the ops guy, who tells me “at this point, we’re out of options”. UGH! I’ve moved to a cubicle.
Out of options being paying the heating bill??
I have a space heater at my desk – when I’m at work.
Here at home, I just use the one that came with the house.
I don’t want to get dressed.
http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=478740586687
The cute.
Time to get creative EssBee.
Seal the vents closed with plastic and duct tape and then get a space heater… or better yet, get one of those empty 50 gallon oil drums and keep a fire going in it with old TPS reports and memos.
Sounds like a free PTO day to me, EssBee.
That would be pretty un-Evil, Jack. Don’t be silly!!
I like the hobo fire idea, JJ!
Ah, there’s nothing like the warmth of a good hobo.
…with a shotgun
May I be excused? My brain is full.
Finish your peas.
All the world…loves a lover…

Re: Pepsi skanifying beverages
Mehmood Khan… said in an interview that it’s outdated to think that snacks are dry and beverages are wet.
Say what you want about snacks being or not being dry, but considering the word “liquid” is in the definition for “beverage”, I don’t think that snakification will make it any less “wet”.
Beverage = Any one of various liquids for drinking, usually excluding water. (from the free online dictionary)
… and there it is.
Marion Nestle, a professor of nutrition at New York University, said that the fruit concentrates are simply sugar. “They start out with real food, so let’s give them credit for applesauce and mashed-up bananas,” but “the rest of it is sugar,” she said. “Kids would be better off eating an apple or a banana.”
So “Nutritious Convenience Foods” are really The Perception of Nutrition Convenience Foods.
And whats so damn inconvenient about an actual apple anyway?
SO Naked CJ going to the doctor? hmmmm
And shame on you if you read UsedHair’s comment and thought of iPads.
Well, JR – only if you are planning on getting your doctorate in the field in which I currently need assistance…
^^ poorly thought out and even more poorly worded, but you get the idea
nudge nudge wink :wink”
dammit
Wait, what? 0.o
Mandom. Sounds like condom. Probably more effective…

CP: Because I’m Awesome — The Dollyrots
I think my new smartphone is smarter than I am.
Jack – perhaps you should have softened up the area with mortar fire first.
Rhettro – Your phone believes only that there is no you, therefor it simply bends the world around itself.
My phone also believes that there is no charge left in its battery.
And then it is true.
Rhett’s phone is an iTheist.
CP: Tunnel of Love — Dire Straits
Finally fixed a problem due to my own dumb-assery. Sigh.
I find apples are hard on my teeth, I have to eat them using a knife.
Oh and I don’t have falsies.
Van, I alway cut my apples into slices too and I have very good teeth
I’m so excited (not). Tomorrow I get to tour the facilities of a private clinic. I was hoping to tour a second one also but now I figure they don’t really want my money since they never returned my call or my follow-up e-mail :evil:
Count me amongst the wedge-eaters.
… as long as we’re talking about apples …
Stupid word press
Well, I hope you’re pleased with what you see tomorrow, Bunny.

Nice one
And not to be confused with wedgie

Thinking about Jack eating wedges.
Wondering what kind of wedges he’s oppose to eating?

Hahaha. Talk about overstating your case.

I actually did not know that he’d been a member of Stealers Wheel. I only ever knew Baker Street.
If you have 110 minutes to spare, this guy is twistedly funny:

I’ve only watched the 1st part, so far.
The Social Network is upon us. Now what?

Well, in case you had any hopes, they now appear to be dashed:

Grief counselors will, of course, be made available.
Christmas Card (from ditto) and letter from Amy (to family and friends) arrived today, thank you.
Hey Pan. morning is here again.
Van, I sent you a card too
Work is being stupid today. I can’t seem to access my files.
My hubby says the Dr. Who story is a very geek friendly bit of gossip.
I can’t decide if this is ingenious or warped

Good morning to my beautiful Bunny and everyone else too!
It’s already Wednesday again?
Morning!
CP: Wander Radio E56
and working
CP: All Said and Done — Evidence
I watched last night’s V this morning before work. I enjoyed it! Anybody else still watching?
Yup TEB, got it before Xmas and thanked you on here.
It had a bear on the front..
Marc Singer?
Boo
CD – Bottling my “Midnight Beatdown Wheaton Porter”
Marc who boo now now?
Speaking of big pecs, this would appear to be the site for Captain America film info:
http://splashpage.mtv.com/tag/captain-america/
Speaking of films, did I mention that I really enjoyed the new Harry Potter?
So the new Potter is good? Cool. :)
As a rule we never see any of the Harry Potter movies in the theater, but buy the DVD. Just watched the Half Blood Prince over Christmas. I’ve always liked the Harry Potter movies, although I’m starting to find the location of Hogwarts as a bit tired now. How many times do we need to see the floating candles and a game of Quiddich? LOL
Also, speaking of films, we saw Tron over the weekend. Overall I would say that I enjoyed it. I do have a few quibbles with it. The first would be that the tone Legacy is somewhat downbeat from the original, with the first being sort of campy fantasy adventure but this one taking itself a little to seriously. The second quibble would be the long slow stretch in the middle with little action and lastly the 3D didn’t really add anything to the experience the way that Avatar did.
I did like the updated visuals of all the vehicles, but I also agree that it looked more like a Matrix than a Tron sequel. The video game “Tron 2.0″ did a better job in my opinion of creating an updated look.
*REBOOTS RHETT*
Rhettro, I think you’ll like this new film.
I’ve been a fan of the HP flicks and the books, and two separate things.
-and, +as
CP: Halloween Americana — Everclear
Paperwork – ugh
Rhettro: I also enjoyed the new Tron flick. After all the negative criticisms, I was able to lower my expectations to the point where I could enjoy the pretty pictures.
I guess I shouldn’t have been expecting a great story. I really wanted one, but what was I thinking? It’s a Disney flick.
I loved the music, updated visuals, and Olivia is very, very easy on the eyes. I won’t go into the bad. That’s too easy.
EssBee: I’m looking forward to it.
Ditto: ditto.
Youre welcome, ditto… heh
I should be watching the new Tron tonight. I’ll let everyone know what I thought. I really, really, really liked the first one.
The Way Back was pleasant enough and the scenery was impressive.
Maybe I just don’t get the Canadian sense of humour, but InSecurity was painfully unfunny.
EssBee we still watch V, although we haven’t seen the new episode yet
Never saw InSecurity but, as a Canadian, I can tell you Canadians have no sense of humour
It’s a new spy spoof series from CBC.
Not one 3-D movie I’ve seen has been worth the extra ticket $$$, with the exception of Avatar. (sorry, Lo Pan)
UH, I’m curious to get your take on Tron: Legacy, since you “really, really, really” liked the first one. We rented that DVD over the summer, and my kids loved Legacy.
I liked it significantly less.
The one other movie besides Avatar where the 3D improved the movie was “Monsters VS Aliens”.
Oh and “Megamind” LOL.
Lo: Thank you. You have my sympathy for your suffering.

I have a new scrabble opponent.
Life is good.
He just played the word deixis
I shall swoon before his vocabulary goodness!
I need Nomad to hold me
Who doesn’t?
Decided I haven’t just sat down and read in a while (relatively speaking). So that’s how I’ve decided to spend my afternoon
CR: Man With The Golden Toric – Simon Green
Was looking at my e-reader. Apparently I’ve read 35 books (not counting the one I’m currently reading) since I bought it in late April/early May. While I knew I devoured books, I never realize my addiction was that bad

Where is kenect sex? During the year I saw a report on that too
Did you guys see the promo for Falling Skies?
CP: If — House of Heroes
Yeah, where is that Kinect sex?
I haven’t seen anything about “Falling Skies” but I like the premiss. Although the other TNT series I got excited about with Noah was “The Librarian” and that was an absolute snooze fest.
Could be interesting, Rhett
I have my fingers crossed.
Jack, I’m deeply disappointed in you. You post a link on here with “top-five-wildes” in the title and Olivia is nowhere to be found when I click.
Nor Oscar
Nor Kim
Nor beast.
The names for the Russkie subs got rather strange.
Yes, the “U.S.S.R. Kerplunk” was going a little far.
Seriously? I killed te Deadpan with that?
Here’s another story.

The anti-immunization hysteria was never about science in the first place.
Wow EssBee … that was …
so much work for sooo much … wrongness !
Not so important:
I felt that Coraline was improved by being in 3D. Not much, mind, but better with it than without.
