A board meeting of WIG

The board of directors of We Is Genius celebrate the successful running of the Boston Marathon by their own Tim.

We is evisceration!

Steve told us about these things, and sells them on his site if you want one. How did I live without one of these before?

God knows what they'd do with the quiche

In November the Food and Drug Administration told Smiling Hill Farm of Westbrook, Maine, that it would have to recall all of its egg nog because it did not list "egg" as an ingredient on the label. Federal law requires the listing to protect people with egg allergies from inadvertently consuming foods that they might not have realized contain egg (even products called "egg nog").

Hat tip, NOTW.

Holiday tips

Been a month with nothing, so a few pieces of holiday weirdness.

First, I see Steve putting these on the tree at the office.

Second, we should see if Mark can use this sound with Allison when she buys him a bad tie for Christmas.

Should we send these to Eric and Beth? Will they catch on? Do they ever read here? (BTW, the shorter post thing doesn't work, as you see here. But shorter paragraphs help.)

I guess I should have gone to his open house; now Ron wants me to help around the garage.

And remember, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Even that new spouse.

Our northern neighbors: Killjoys

The CBC is issuing ten things you should know for Halloween safety. No masks, jack-o'-lanterns, or darkness (hard to do that in Canada, unless you start at 3 in the afternoon.) This is my favorite, though:

6. Build a spooky but safe and well-wired haunted house
With spooky smoke machines, lights and screeching soundtracks, Halloween enthusiasts can put on a haunting good show. Secure extension cords so trick-or-treaters can easily pass by without stumbling. When buying lights, check for certification from the Canadian Standards Association or the Underwriters' Laboratory of Canada. Also, check for frayed wires and be sure not to overload outlets.

I'm pretty sure they made a Red Green episode out of this, eh?

Today's movie quote

At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

-- Billy Madison

This may have applied to Eric's football picks. Two?
