The Trouble With Polytheism
Nov. 20th, 2006 08:19 am(Tiny figure on horizon, crying to the cloudy heavens:)
Figure: Oh! Mighty god of potluck, what shall I bring to the Company Potluck on Tuesday?
(The clouds in the sky split, the sun appears, accenting tiny figure with a rogue ray of pure, brilliant light. A voice, ocean deep, star-hungry, rumbles forth from the earth:)
Voice: DUDE! Wings! And Brownies! Oh! Oh! AND FUNYUNS! LET THERE BE FUNYONS.
Figure: No. Dude, I said, "The god of POTLUCK."
Voice: Oh. Sorry. I'll go fetch Midge.
(I'm thinking chili, or pumpkin pie. Looking at the current sign-up sheet, everyone is bringing dessert, so it may be chili by default. I'll hit Traitor Joe's at lunchtime.)
Midge: You should put tiny little marshmallows in that chili, Duckie!
Figure: This is still the other guy isn't it?
(pause...)
Voice: Yeah, I'm covering. Midge is in Minneapolis-Saint Paul right now for a Kraft© Macaroni and Cheese bake off.

The internet at home is out. Comcast is sending a techie, because the modem, she be offline, (yarr. she be receivin, but she no be senden, tis a tradjedy, tis,) and when I "Renew DHCP Lease" with the router bypassed, I don't get a new IP, so apparantly, this is how you get the techie to come. The modem has been intermittant for some time, so I imagine that the modem is futzed. Techie, they will be here tomorrow morning.
