If I only had a brain...

Aren't there Mexican tear-out-my-heart songs?

Totally. There's one with a chorus of "Quisiera llorar, quisiera morir de sentimiento."

I'd rather cry, I'd rather die of strong emotion. (The older meaning of "sentiment", not the new one.)

Why does lj hate me?

Does lj hate free-users only? Or does it hate some paid-journalers too?

If I only had a brain...

Hey! You raided my closet, didn't you.

Yes. But our closets adjourn in the Great Buffista Closet In The Sky. In fact, I think you may have borrowed my peacock-feather boa.

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

Guess who's trying to make gay penguins straight? No, not American Christian Fundamentalists - they like to deny that gay penguins even exist. It's the Germans. They've imported some gay Swedish penguins....

A German zoo has imported four female penguins from Sweden in an effort to tempt its gay penguins to go straight.

The four Swedish females were dispatched to the Bremerhaven Zoo in Bremen after it was found that three of the zoo's five penguin pairs were homosexual.

Keepers at the zoo ordered DNA tests to be carried out on the penguins after they had been mating for years without producing any chicks.

It was only then they realised that six of the birds were living in homosexual partnerships.

Director Heike Kueck said that the zoo hoped to see some baby penguins in the coming months.

She said that the birds had been mating for years and one couple even adopted a stone that they protected like an egg.

Kueck said that the project has the support of the European Endangered Species Programme because the penguins, which are native to South America, are an endangered species.

A biologist will be on hand to monitor the experiment.

But introducing the Bremerhaven penguins to their new Swedish friends may not be as successful as hoped after earlier experiments revealed great difficulties in separating homosexual couples.

In case they show no interest, the zoo has also flown in two new male penguins "so that the ladies don't miss out altogether", Kueck add

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

ita, that outfit is pretty similar to what I wear. I'll take care of it. Today: white collared shirt with darts, big buttons & 3/4 sleeves. B/w check trousers and loafers.

Safety pins!

ita, what about asking about depth of the topic(s) covered specifically? Also, too fast/too slow, what parts did they not find relevent, what they found confusing.

You want to word it so they give you specifics, as opposed to being too open ended (because then they have to think harder to make up their own words.) Also, ask stuff about the audience. Even if they won't tell you that perhaps you should do more X, you might see from their demographics that gee, they use a lot of things that X would help them with.

(no idea the scope or type of the presentation, I'm basing this off a survey we just closed.)

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I was kidding about what I'm wearing. I am so not ruffle girl. Pink boots, on the other hand, I would love to have.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Because they just haven't met the right gull yet....
