- Tell me how this is legal… But not until I am done watching Kung-fu Panda.

The Switzer Twins Have Been Liberated!
Those of you who have followed my blog at all over the years will know Kat and Brian back from the Podcasting days. They have been trying for years to have a baby and finally resorted to an Indian Surrogate.
They have been doubly blessed with twin girls Kelsey and Riley. After finally seeing her lifelong dream of being a mother realized Kat was all alone in India and found herself dealing with a pair of asshat bureaucrats at a hospital they were forced to move the surrogate to for delivery after some serious complications and preterm birth. Just for the record I would like to say there is a special hell for people like those two who heartlessly screwed with Kat and Brian at a time when they were already concerned about the health of their babies.
At last things have finally been set right by some amazing effort and dedication on the part of the US Embassy in India and the babies are out of the NICU and in a room with mom and dad. Thank God, Brian (who is like me; i.e. Fuck with my babies and things are going to get ugly, bloody, and handled quickly) did not have to bash heads to make it happen. I know if someone was trying to limit my access to my girls, my first inclination would be cause extreme bodily harm and ask questions later. God Bless the American Embassy in India.
Brian and Kat have appeared on the Today show and NBC Nightly news as well as the subject of a documentary being released at some point next year I think. The highlights and tribulations over the last month in India are talked about a bit at their blog as well as some pictures of their two little miracles. Go have a read and congratulate the new parents at Switzertwins Weblog.
I would like it known for the record I predicted two girls when no one else thought it would happen. My XX juujuu hormones and stuff effect people in my orbit! My kung-fu is strong.
Cannot wait to see the girls, Kat and Brian. Congratulations again and I love you both. Get home safe and soon.

Some Funniness: 50 Office Phrases You Love To Hate
Let’s see with BBC says and we may add a few of our own.
“My employers (top half of FTSE 100) recently informed staff that we are no longer allowed to use the phrase brain storm because it might have negative connotations associated with fits. We must now take idea showers . I think that says it all really.”
Anonymous, England
Idea showers? Well, here in the US of A in this age of Political Correctness are not allowd to use the word “Shower” or any word denoting an act that one does nekkid. Imagine what would happen if the person was making eye contact at the same time! Dear God, the HR manager would be in a lather.
“Business speak even supersedes itself and does so with silliness, the shorthand for quick win is now low hanging fruit .”
Paul, Formby, UK
Ah, yes. The Low Hanging Fruit phrase. This one is like a big giant sign that says, “Mock Me Jennifer! You know you have to do it!” Management at work must have gone to a seminar about six months ago, because I was in no less than 5 meetings with several different folks all who used the term Low Hanging Fruit at least once. If you use the term Low Hanging Fruit, you should stop. Why do I always think of rotting figs when I hear the phrase?
“Working for an American corporation, this year’s favourite word seems to be granularity , meaning detail. As in ‘down to that level of granularity’.”
Chris Daniel, Anaco, Venezuela
Oh yes, this one is infecting our workplace too. I think I have a granularity stuck in my throat. I need a soda.
I would like to add to the following:
- Open a dialog: I would like to split open the face of the next person who says it.
- Could you send me a soft copy of that data? What is that you ask? It is a silly way of asking for a pdf or a word document.
- Key Performance Indicators: KPIs and Dashboards will be the end of the civilized world as we know it.
- Let’s take this to the whiteboard: I would like to take a sledgehammer to the whiteboard.
I shall begin to collect these and add to it.

Ok, Enough With The $5 Foot Long Commercials…
Ok, I love a good tongue in cheek commercial as much as the next person. That said, this disturbing woman with the bad bob hairdo looking like a porn star with a 12 inch cock in her hand is a bit over the top for me.
Really, I am not a prude but this activates my nearly non-existent gag reflex so it must be bad.
