I'm home!

Jim_t of squoogy fame, quoted during last week's Denver blizzard as saying, "Eh. I could use another foot of snow" is ironically the poster boy for The Consumerist's article headlined "Avoid Denver!"
That's him, making a snow angel, and presumably celebrating having all the snow to himself. Enjoy, jim_t!
PS. Kimberly and I are both blogging this. Yes, we're geeks, but that's why you love us so much.
PSS. My return flight on Saturday is still on. Go Frontier Airlines, go!
Alternate title: What did I think was going to happen?
Denver is under a winter storm watch. We're expecting 7-14 additional inches of snow. Fortunately, we're on our way to happy hour, so there's that. Send warm thoughts.
So Kimberly & jim_t and I have a longstanding tradition of collecting drunken quotes from our world-famous happy hours. I give you a selection from our (ongoing) Christmas 2006 celebration:
So this is Christmas.
This is Christmas at the House of Squoogy.
If it weren't for the fucking blizzard, that would have been my welcome to the Denver Airport. Have I mentioned lately that I have the best friends ever?
I'm off to visit the land of squoogy! Hope everyone has a happy
Think warm toasty thoughts for me!
My baby comes home today! Home again, home again jiggidy-jig!
I was all set to fly out to Denver today to visit the house of Squoogy. Mother Nature apparently has other plans. At least I'm still going, but damn!

Dear Progressive Insurance:
I was involved in a felony hit & run on 11/11/06. My claim number is 0602xxxxx. My claims representative, Caitlan at the Sherman Oaks office (818-461-xxxx) has been unresponsive and does not return my calls in a timely manner. When she does reluctantly return calls, she is unhelpful and dismissive.
To date, (12/12/06) my car remains at XXXX Auto Body. My contact is Jose at 818/506-xxxx. He contends the delay is Progressive's fault, because the claims inspector will not come out to inspect the damage to the car; yet Caitlan at Progressive claims the delay is caused by the fact that Progressive does not work directly with XXXX Auto Body. Neither of these in-house administrative issues should delay the repair of my car, or impact my experience as a (former) paying client of Progressive.
Due to the multiple delays in processing this claim, my car will not be returned to me until December 15, 2006. Meanwhile, I have made two payments on the car while it sits neglected in the repair shop.
To say I am dissatisfied with Progressive's service would be a severe understatement. Needless to say, I will be taking my business elsewhere and will take every opportunity to discuss Progressive's failings as an insurance company.
The refuge of lazy bloggers everywhere. Here's a good one - NSFW or right-wingers. Enjoy!
you have to think about it all day too.
You're welcome.
Is AWESOME! Now who knows how to build electronics?
I thought I've seen scary before, but this is terrifying.
