Oh yeah...

I forgot to mention, while on the home leg of my CA trip, I saw not one but two men with big sticks. They were in LAX and JFK, and both of them held their big sticks in a slow, thoughtful manner as they poked and/or rubbed said sticks across the floor.

After some study I was able to guess that perhaps what they were doing was removing scuff marks. At least I hope they were removing scuff marks. I'm not certain I want to know why they were pushing the floor down with sticks otherwise. Walking is hard enough without having to carry a weapon to defend yourself against the floor rising up to take over the universe.

So to answer wesleysgirl's question: yes, yes I did see them.

In other news, why did no one tell me that Tim from the Office is playing Arthur in the Hitchhiker's movie? Now I may actually have to see the damn thing. (I originally wasn't going to as I have high doubts that it'll be any good. OTOH I really can't argue that casting choice at all.) This is right up there with Hugh Laurie playing Perry White in the new Superman flick. Damn you, casting agents, Damn you!!!!

And I still hate anniesj for enabling the House plotbunnies in my head, however inadvertently.
