You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

she has people bring her free stuff. or so she says. I think she's lying and possibly mean-spirited.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

My taunty dance brings all the boys to the yard. There's some wiggling, and just a little bit of grooving.

So what exactly is the source of taunting here?

It was directed specifically at msbelle, who was sad that no one was giving her free things, at which point I said that that was because *I* had all the free things in the world, and then I began to dance.

What is it you've got that we're being made to want?

Pffft. I think the real question should be, what DON'T I got that you want??? Oh, yeah.

re: landlords and snow.

We don't get significant snow often in Durham. I've been at my current apartment for almost 6 years now (and still don't have a couch), and the three times we had enough snow to need shoveling, the landlord got the parkinglot and sidewalks cleared long before the city got the street next to the apartment complex cleared.

This is one of the reasons I've been at my current apartment for almost 6 years.

Things I don't understand: Bush's Middle-East policies. The appeal of carob coated anything. UNC's fondness for Faulkner.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Half my job is taking messages. It's always so funny to say "Would you like to leave a message?" and have the caller say yes and then wait for a beep.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I don't understand why I have to do homework instead of being able to waste the entire day.

Wait, yes, I do. I'm just bitter.

I truly don't understand the appeal of The Apprentice. Or how dust bunnies multiply so fast.

I don't understand why I'm suffering from a relapse of The Ick.

I don't understand why people in my office building don't think I won't notice when they whisper to each other and point at me.

I don't understand why I can't find good-quality black & white striped satin that isn't acetate.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I think we should play Things I just don't understand.

WASHINGTON – The White House has eliminated funding for a mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope from its 2006 budget request and directed NASA to focus solely on de-orbiting the popular spacecraft at the end of its life, according to government and industry sources.

Is there anyway we could reorient it to sit directly between the sun and the earth in such a way as to focus the light into a giant laser beam aimed at W's head?
