It's 3:30 and I have to go to bed, so I can't read this whole thing, but, dude:
Oh, whoever's cornflakes I pissed on today.

I said something like that in a staff meeting the other day, about a tech support person who hollered at me on the phone: "God knows who peed in his Wheaties." It was a conversation stopper, and caused much merriment, once everyone got over their shock. Somebody followed it up with something about people getting in line to pee in his Wheaties, and everyone laughed, and then I said, "Well, that was a charming visual." Which caused much consternation, because apparently the rest of the people in the room hadn't, as yet, visualized it. *snerk*

*sigh* I seem to have lost my ability to style-flex when needed, which is going to cause me some trouble, I'm sure. I at least need to cut down on the swearing at work....

I hope the show rocked--I was/am really disappointed that I couldn't be there.
