I just got back from errands in a car in the crazy snow. we were slipping and sliding all over the roads. Somewhere in the midst of doing the errands I becaome 16 again and wanted to spin donuts in a big parking lot. MAD FUN.

but now I have a decaf hazelnut latte and things are back to normal.

Wouldn't the "or both" be counterproductive?

There'll be a lot of bouncing up and down. There'll be production, never you fear.

I get called away to a meeting and I miss all the line-dancing genitalia.

Ha-ha!

ION:

SANTA MARIA, Calif. - A boy who testified that Michael Jackson molested his brother acknowledged under cross-examination Tuesday that the pop star didn't show him a sex magazine that the prosecution introduced into evidence. The witness also said he lied under oath in a separate civil lawsuit.

Does the prosecution have any evidence besides the testimony of this family? 'Cuz if not, I don't see how they're gonna get a conviction.

The only time I've ever been in a car doing donuts in the parking lot was when I was about 10, and my dad starting having fun after picking us up at swimming lessons. All the kids are shrieking with glee, and my mom's all "Karl, will you STOP THAT!!" while my dad was chuckling like a madman.

Oh, god, I'm weeping with laughter. What happens when you terrorize cats with a Roomba?

Isn't that hysterical, Dana? I desperately want a Roomba now.

I am not sure I ever did them. I wanted to do them though - most certainly. My highschool driving years were all about how fast I could go and how to make driving fun (thus the 2 wrecks and speeding tickets). I did spin off the road twice because of black ice and that was fun. Well it was fun because the road was empty and I was fine. basically spinning is fun and I didn't quite grasp the whole mortality thing while a teenager.

It's amazing anyone makes it to adulthood.

My fat cat would sit on one, I think.

Speaking of Pinky and the brain [link]

My grandpa taught his kids to drive on snow and ice by taking them out to the middle of a frozen lake and leaving them there in the car with a cheerful "Don't come home until you quit slipping!"

It worked. I got parking lot practice in the mountains.

best line from the roomba story

"Hobey is treed on top of the microwave, which is on top of the fridge, and is hiding, hilariously, behind…an avocado."
