And now I know what's going to be on all radio and TV stations for at least a week...
-
@remi well, you could go on vacation.
-
@Gribnit I'm just back from some. I know I'm in France and that we have tons of vacations (funnily some people seem to think it's something that should be mocked, whereas I'm actually quite enjoying it!), but there is a limit.
(that is, a limit to how much you'll enjoy holidays if you don't work a bit between them, not a limit on how much vacation I could actually take)

Like the 3 weeks that felt like 2 months*?

@PJH I kind of remembered something about it, but I'm guessing you linked the wrong post? Isn't this one and the sub-thread that follows better?
(also, if we're being ic about keeping lounge info safe, aren't you leaking the thread's title?)

Er - indeed; that was the post I thought I was linking to...

Fixed my link with what you posted, so not any more.

@PJH See, you're tired and making all sort of errors. You need to take more holidays.

I never watched that show. I recognize him as the doctor on season one of Bosch whose dog finds the dead kid's bones.

@boomzilla Wow, no zombie jokes. Slow week, I guess

For those who, like me, didn't know who this Rander-Perhrson random person is:
7 March 1995
Glenn Randers-Pehrson posts the very first PNG images to the Web,
followed a couple of weeks later by Lee Daniel Crocker.Indeed, Glenn was at the forefront of producing the first draft
implementations and test images, back in 1995. Then, in 1998, he took
over the PNG Reference Library, or "libpng". He took good care of it,
too, all across the last two decades.

@PJH As a fellow corgi owner, I'm saddened, too.

Sir Humphrey is dead, long live Sir Humphry.
-
May he be a Watcher over all.
-
@e4tmyl33t But will he keep on doing cameos in movies?
-
@dkf Maybe if they Carrie Fisher him in, I guess.

I mentioned this to my mom, and she said "he'll come back in a sequel."

It's coming to something when they're ghost-writing the obituaries...

Obits are basically written while people are still alive. Press organisations have people whose job it is to keep a file on every notable person so that if they die unexpectedly, an obit can be churned out rapidly. (And sometimes the people who do that die ahead of their subjects.)

This is one of my favorite SNL skits:

See also: Dick Cheney...
[CNN leaks half-written obits, wherein lazy reporters are exposed as using existing ones as templates] .. as a result of which Vice President Dick Cheney was gushingly referred to as the 'UK's Favourite Grandmother.' Readers could click through to sections of his love of horse racing and his life as Queen Consort.
