Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Also Allyson was very good to talk to about serious family stuff and philosophy and like that for me, I must say.

You know, your story about the patients with different illnesses thanking god that they didn't have whatever was doing across the hall was very helpful to me in a meeting, today. It's a grass is greener over here sort of story that went really well with some negative stuff that otherwise would have soaked into my skin all day, except I then channeled the bullshit into gratitude for not having to deal with what I saw as worse bullshit, which I think was what that was all about.

Bestest purple hair evah.

MWAH!

I can go to bed all warm and smily.

The bastard who loudly huffed (with obvious impatience) "THE GGGUUUUUUUKKKEEE!", was, um, me.

Bwah! I do seem to remember Kidman—who said "the Duke" like 90% of all the times it was said in the movie—pronouncing it in a reedy squeal that seemed to have a couple of j's and an h.

Which is weird, because she doesn't normally talk that way. Maybe consumption makes people sound as if they've swallowed a kazoo?

All is well that ends in pizza.

Phonetically "Jyook"?

You know, Kat, I had cake. It was at my church for all July birthdays. And since they didn't specify, just July birthdays of church members, I think it was your birthday cake! Except it was cheap Sam's Club cake I bought, so probably not as good as your actual cake.

Art Crawl!!!

No, Kat's cake (in my imagination) would in no way resemble a cake from Sam's club -- which I think must be very much like a cake from Walmart.

Heather -- sadly, pretend cake is just not the same thing. However, dark chocolate Hershey kisses?-- Make a pretty good distraction from the lack of cake.

Yes, except cheaper! And in more massive quantities! It was bad, but it was still cake.

Now I am eating oatmeal. It is not like cake.

Sadly no. I'm having more cake.

I'm going to the size of a smallish house if I keep this up. Yet CAKE!

God, if I knew where I could find a piece of cake right now. All I have is bitterish coffee.
