I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

JZ, which thread is She Who Shall... ranting in? I might want to add my two cents and I don't want to have to read that whole site.

Up with the sun

JZ, which thread is She Who Shall... ranting in?

It's in the Table Talk thread under Blogosphere, but several regular posters have already stepped in on Hec's behalf, so you might as well spare yourself the increased blood pressure.

Trust my rage

Coming way late to the pet conversation, but here are some pictures of my two dogs, Toby (black) and Sebastian (black, brown, & white).

ETA: Also, feel free to ignore the semi-goofy Christmas pics - those are there mainly so Joe could see what he was missing.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

David, I meant to say earlier that I'm throwing rotten fruit (mentally) at anyone who would dare spread horrible lies about you.

Thanks, I really do appreciate it, and all the other support as well.

Nobody else needs to go over and kerfuffle, however. It is so not worth it. Fiona kindly corrected the many lies and distortions and my friend Nancy basically told people to quit pulling shit out of their respective asses.

JZ's advice on the matter is best. Ptui! We shall speak of it no more.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I couldn't kerfuffle. I don't know what it's all about, and I don't care- they're wrong. (Unfortunately, on the internet when you put a period behind the last word, you don't get the full effect of saying "period"- they need another symbol)

I shall be guided by the lovely and wise JZ.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I read this and thought, "that's not the meaning of irony!" But maybe I'm wrong. Have we discussed irony? I honestly can't remember.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

My loathing for she-who-shall-not-be-named knows no bounds, but ptui! Let us speak of her no more.

Particularly sage advice since, while the urge to defend one of our own is admirable, I'd just as soon avoid a scenario that results in Satan's Bride backtracking someone to here and becoming the board's next Schmoker.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Bon, as long as Alannis is still wrong, I'm okay. He did make my head hurt, and he dissed Merriam Webster. Or does m-w.com have different content from the printed version? Is Merriam Webster a decent dictionary?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Wait, that's not irony. Is it?
