But, I can hear you saying "Because Daredevil" is why he shouldn't be allowed to be in another comic book movie. Affleck gets a bad rap for being in some cruddy movies. Part of me is thinking it's inspired casting. My response to the news was and is, "Oh, really?" (insert yawn here) Ying_ko_4So, the INTERNETS are going ape-shit-ZOMG!-crazy-crazy over Ben Affleck being cast as Batman in the next Superman movie. Why anyone would want to steal the TP from here is beyond me, as I'm sure it's at least 47 grit. That we didn't have to go to DEFCON 11 is a minor miracle.Īnd yes, they use great big Master Locks to lock the TP dispenser down here. This brought forth some amusing emails, somebody getting into their Secret TP Stash, and a bemused custodial floater/flunky to actually bring us more TP, unlock to lock and replace said TP. What REALLY happened was our regular custodian called her supervisor, alerted him to the possible loss of her keys and that we were about out of TOILET PAPER! This I figured out when I was ensconced on the throne doing my throne-ly business and realized that there was damned little paper with which to do my paper work with. It seems that he'd gotten a call from the regular custodian alerting him to the possible loss of her keys and as a result we may be running low or almost out of paper towels.
