A Very Special Holiday Gambit
As one of the few non-public/federal employees to have today off, I feel entitled to say: ha-ha! As such, I wasn\’t intending to file a Gambit today, but this is just too good to resist. I present you with: footage of the infamous Charles Barkley vs. Dick Bavetta footrace. Ok, so it\’s not very notable,…

Death Warmed Over
I\’b thick… Ahhhchoooo… *hack*…. Ptooey Sorry…let\’s try that again. I\’m sick… and I know who gave it to me. Some a-hole at work who showed up on Tuesday looking like death warmed over. By Friday morning I too felt like death, and I too went in to work. Now why would I do such a…

It\’s radiation! And a skull! Run!
Exciting news today from the world of science! They\’ve changed the international symbol for radiation.

Just what we needed!
More one-dollar coins are on the way! Blech. If more vending machines accepted them that\’d be one thing, but they\’d still be heavy coins. You know what I\’d rather see? More two-dollar bills. Seriously. If I\’ve got four dollars in change coming to me, give me two twos. Right now my wallet is clogged with…

In The News
Just a few assorted links for your perusal today. This article is an interesting read to me, as someone who feels it\’s perfectly valid to believe in BOTH evolution AND God, if you so choose. The Governator is making nose that he envisions California may become some sort of nation-state, which is fascinating on several…

donna martin graduates!
and then… apparently… gets knocked up. ok, first, tori was never my preferred 90 girl. that easily was jennie garth, followed by tiffani amber-theissen and joe e. tata (not in that order). so, there\’s that. second, i\’m aware that being pregnant does weird things to a person\’s body. i appreciate this. i, myself, have done…
