Happy furlough Friday! Most of my state worker readers are home today, I think, taking an unpaid day off. A few people work in departments that got exemptions. BB is working unpaid today at EDD. He has to bank his days off and take them later this year in one block. At his office's discretion. Nice, huh?
I think I mentioned, my tiny office also got an exemption and is doing business today. But as one of their few hourly employees, I still take the normal furlough days. So here I am, in my pajamas, on the computer at home, sharing the funnies. Let's see ...
Carrie Fisher reveals exactly what it was like to film the now-famous metal bikini scenes in Return of the Jedi.
The ignore tee. The Christian Bale tee. Also rock paper scissors zombie Spock? Looks like it was from a teevee show.
I want a fish dog! [YouTube] Isn't he adorable? He'd need flotation-style chew toys and a very, very long leash for walks along the lake bottom.
Q-fold puzzles. These are cool-looking but (for me, at least) visually maddening puzzles. I was going to save this for an It's Saturday post, but after printing one to solve, I decided to spare you, as well as spare your time, your energy, and most crucially, your eyesight.
And for Jo and (non-blogging) Jackie: The mud flap girl goes literate, and other cool bumper stickers from the Wyoming Public Library.
All dogs probably have an internal picture of themselves as a German Shepherd dog.

Or else as a fish dog!

Is it just me, or does the word(s) "Christian Bale" sound like a born-again farm supply concern?
This time, I think it is just me...
I think CB and Russell Crowe should do a movie together, just to see who makes it out of filming alive!

I'm picturing an espionage-type movie with an ensemble cast known individually for their spectacular, f-bomb filled diatribes. How about Christian Bale, Russell Crowe, Lily Tomlin, Alec Baldwin and Sean Young? I think we could promote the movie this way. It'd be the only movie that people attended just to see the blooper reel during the credits.
In fact, we could tell the actors they were filming a movie, and then just assemble 98 minutes of blooper reels for the box office.
And for the DVD, a special features section containing the actors' reactions to the knowledge their espionage movie was nothing but blooper reels.
