Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Opened my scanner in order to scan some CD artwork, but my kitty got there first.
I LOVE my kitties' toes and paws!Too cute...kitty toes!
I missed it too. I must have been in a gas line. Remember those?
Went to see "Skyfall" on the big screen. You can tell that they're not even trying to introduce James Bond to a new generation. I guess they figure us geezer ticket-buyers are good for another 25 years of the franchise.
I was the only customer for the Tuesday 1:10PM matinee.
At one point Bond was forced to revert to Sean Connery's old car, which (according to the movie plot) has apparently been safely stored in a London garage for decades. As they drove away, M was complaining snarkily from its passenger seat. Bond flipped up the top of the (manual) gearshift and poised his thumb over the big red button.Wow. I remember being mesmerized by "Goldfinger" when I was a kid. To me, Connery is Bond. James Bond.
Feelin' fine on cloud nine....So, I did and believe me, I am feeling no pain..... I plan to spend the rest of the day at home in my easy chair, surfing the internet and playing video games.
(Mild spoiler alert for Bond fanatics.)

I don't think anyone born after 1970 would have recognized that homage...
Would that be a human cadaver? How would you know?They use sterilized, irradiated cadaver bone, which I thought was interesting.
The Aston Martin's machine guns had a much higher bodycount in the 2012 movie!Oh man, that Aston Martin! Ejector seat, oil slick, smoke screen, bulletproof shield, machine guns, hub knives, and tracking device.
Time for me to watch it again.
This morning I went to the oral surgeon for my dental implant surgery. He removed the remnants of the old tooth, and then decided to do a bone graft to "beef up" the bone before doing the implant. They use sterilized, irradiated cadaver bone, which I thought was interesting. Then he sutured it up. Since he had to do the bone graft, the implant itself cannot be done until late March.
Today's procedure was 100%, completely painless due to much Novacaine plus laughing gas, which is new for me. He prescribed some heavy prescription pain meds and told me to take them after I got home, before the Novacaine wore off.

...Costco's executive membership program...

What part of the skeleton is the bone taken from? I bet Louis C.K. or Ray Romano could get three standup minutes out of these questions...
Irradiated cadaver bone. Egads! Good luck in your recovery. I thought I had it rough - I'm going in tomorrow to have my temp crown replaced by the permanent one - there was some mention of a root canal if I have pain, but ok so far. The only pain I've had is while I was still getting drilled when the Novacaine started to wear off.
I resented being stereotyped by my attire, and interrupted at the worst possible moment during my trip. I thought he was with the fraud or "loss prevention" staff, and in all the years I've been in Costco I've never been accosted like this. But then I don't usually visit Costco in my aloha business attire, and maybe I shouldn't do that anymore.As a former nuke, you'll need to spreadsheet this one. For $100/yr v. $50/yr, you get 2% back on purchases v. 1%. Another opportunity for arbitrage!
