Going down in a ball of fire... or a cloud of smoke
In an article about Broadcom co-founder Henry T. Nicholas III and the creative ways in which he criminally indulged himself, there is this passage:
In 2001, Nicholas smoked so much marijuana during a flight on a private jet between Orange County and Las Vegas that the pilot had to put on an oxygen mask, the indictment states.
Hey, if you’re gonna go down, go down in style.
Hedy Lamarr (That's Hedley!) has died
MSNBC reports that Harvey Korman has passed away. I only knew him from his work with Mel Brooks, particularly in Blazing Saddles, but he was clearly a very talented man, and he made me laugh. It’s sad to see him go.
RIP, Hedy Hedley.

There are precious few people in this world for whom I will wake at 4am and try to comfort them back to sleep. You are one of the few.

Shake it, baby
As I was finishing up at the urinal in the men’s room this morning, a coworker walked in and took the stall next to me. As he walked by, he admonished, “Hey, shake it more than twice, and you’re playing with it!”
Had I been thinking clearly at the time, I would have said, “Shake it more than five times, and you’re on vacation. My next vacation is over two months away. Coincidence? I think not.”
