Hah! That's like a typical day at work for me, with Wikipedia. :D

Most dangerous website ever.

Wait, wait. There's really no such thing as a canola?

Damn. A whole economy just fell to pieces.

[yendi]

I can't imagine why they just didn't call it "rapeseed." I mean, talk about a name that just sells itself.

Aw, and here I thought that'd get the chickendancin'-Bluths icon out of you...

Wait! Wait! I got the perfect thing!

[mgrasso.livejournal.com]

Ask and ye shall receive. I need to make a new one where George Sr., Lucille and Lindsay are all doing their version and G.O.B. can't make it over in time because he's putting on the chicken mask. ;)

"Have any of you ever seen a chicken?"

I love that show.

Re: Wait! Wait! I got the perfect thing!

[mgrasso.livejournal.com]

Just the fact that it eventually just became assumed that they all had their own chicken dance... that's why these writers are genius.

Double episode tonight! Glee!

Re: Wait! Wait! I got the perfect thing!

[yendi]

Back-to-back episodes tonight, love.

Yay!

Oh my god that's my life ...

I think it might describe everyone I know. Or at least everyone I enjoy knowing.

That's some good research junkie crack.
Not detailed, but great for the "what was happening in x when y major event was going on elsewhere?" conversations.
Of course you guys probably have it already.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

No. No, we do not. *adds to wishlist*

[caulay.livejournal.com]

And the wishlist grows longer....

[yendi]

The wishlist is perpetually growing. It's like The Blob, only without eating people. Mostly.

I hacked mine back to 12 screens recently, but I think it's gotten out of control again. . . .

So far I don't think it's actually consumed anyone. But I could be mistaken. . . .

So familiar, it's eerie.

And then, of course, the boss has to interrupt for something work-related. Like that's more important than me researching Wonder Woman's mythology and connecting that to the larger arc of mythology and the human psyche. Plus, Wonder Woman.

*snort*

Yup, I've actually snapped at co-workers and bosses when they've interupted "important" research.

Been there, done that.

Oh yeah, BTDT. Someone makes an offhand mention of Jimmy Carter's views on "intelligent design", and before you know it I'm reading about the USN's 1975 ship reclassification and the "cruiser gap".

[phinnia.livejournal.com]

That's so me. :-D My dad used to enable it, too. I'd ask him something and five minutes later we'd be neck-deep in books.

Welcome to my job.

[rowancat.livejournal.com]

That is so me! The net is like one of those rpgs where there
are teleporters every few feet :)
I always wind up following links ending up galaxies away from
my original destination. I do get to my destination *eventually* but not without a lot of very interesting side trips...
Like a conversation on pot in the sixties (grin)

I used have issues with that in school. I'd get the encylopedia out to look up one thing, and get distracted by a million others...

[terminusvox.livejournal.com]

My siblings and I get that from our Father. We all read the dictionary for fun.
