Oh my. My brain is going dead. Someone help me develop an official sounding definition for "~ma."
Willow: Yikes. Imagine the things...Buffy: No! Stop imagining! All of you! Xander: Already got the visual.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
"~ma, short for karma. Used in lieu of a prayer request or a request for good luck/good wishes."

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
~ma: A wish for good fortune, originally derived from the concept of karma. People with damaged cars are wished car~ma; people going into surgery are wished surgery~ma or health~ma.

Always Anti-fascist!
OK, resent, Victor. Hope you don't hate it. EM(Edie, not Emmett's Mom) was an obnoxious car rental clerk in "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles". She and Steve Martin have a fight. It'd be weird to have your career based on being irritating, I think.

Thanks guys. I may have a few more if I can't come up with stuff on my own.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I have a plan.
First it was thunder and lightning and now a slab of water just fell onto the city. I love rainy season in the desert.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Happy Birthday, Beverly!!!
Happy Anniversary, lori and Kat!!!

Happy Birthday, Benno! 3 - what a big boy.
Emmett's still sick, but I bought him the earlier Marx Brothers box set with Duck Soup and Horse Feathers. He also wanted more Calvin and Hobbes books. When he's conscious he's laughing. Otherwise he's zonking on the couch in a Tylenol Cold and Cough induced haze.

Happy Birthday, Benno and Beverly!
Happy Anniversary, Kat and Lori!
Feel better soon, Emmett!
Now that I'm awake, after sleeping the day away (and I wonder why I have such a hard time getting up on Monday mornings?), I'll get around to answering Alibelle's question from 100+ posts ago:
Neil is still going to have my loyalty, since he's coming all this way and everything. But I have room in my heart for Buzz, too. I already think he has a super cool name, and is nifty. But yeah... what? Is a flat-earther someone who thinks the Earth is flat? And Buzz punched him?
Actually, I first read about it linked from here (I think DXM was the first one to report it)--apparently, a few years ago, Buzz was at some kind of honorary dinner thing, and he was accosted on the street outside by an honest-to-God flat-earther, someone who is convinced that the Apollo landings were filmed on a Hollywood soundstage. Buzz decked him. Yay, Buzz!
