Killing time before a meeting...

I first saw it in almus' LJ:

5. What are your plans for this weekend?

Possibly Scooby Doo afterwards

*Thus ending 10 years of continuous occupation of the apartment. Among other things, we found a "brown" stain on the carpet. In a _Odd Couple_ moment, we realize that's the original carpet color.

I heard about this on C|Net Radio this morning and isomeme's post reminded me.
