Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I love the name "Homer Babbidge Library". Enough so that even without having been there, I'm sorry to hear that it's a piece of shit.

If I only had a brain...

Oh, the happy. Rivka posted a list of UU jokes on Making Light, and some of them I hadn't heard before. My favorite is the last.

UU Bible Study will be held after church today. Please bring your own Bible and a pair of scissors.

Q. What do UUs have in common with Dracula? A. Both originated in Transylvania, and both shy away from the cross.

Q. Have you heard about the new UU evangelists? A. They knock on your door and say, "Would you like to tell me about your religion?"

Q. What do you call the corpse at a Unitarian funeral? A. All dressed up with no place to go.

Q. What happens when you get the UUs really mad at you? A. They show up and burn a question mark on your lawn.

Q. Why do UUs make such lousy congregational singers? A. Everyone is reading ahead to see whether they agree with the next line. (Note: this one is SO true that it hardly qualifies as a joke.)

You can tell you're in a UU church if the only time the minister says "Jesus Christ" is when she spills her coffee.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Chantico would be fine if it had about half the amount of sugar. It's way too sweet.

I love Gatorade. Especially the clear ones.

However, for L&D, I think we're stocking up on Fruitwater, which has various electrolytes, but no sodium. It's also kind of tasty.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This, right here, is why I won't be trying it any time soon. (And yes, I know that most people will respond with, "No it isn't!" but the fact is that if it's too sweet for anyone, it will be too sweet for me.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.

FMOE, drink as much water as you can before you get to the hospital. The instant you feel the first pain, start drinking cause if your hospital is anything like mine was, the instant you get there, no more liquid or food. Ice chips only.

This is me, too. I can't stand oversweet stuff, and it's everywhere -- even things that aren't supposed to be sweet at all. Bleh.

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

Heh. In LA they're sanding the Disney building and in Chicago the bean is being polished to a shine.

Yeah, what a difference concave vs. convex makes. Some pesky physics thing about focusing light beams. What's a melted traffic cone or two between friends?

We're allowed clear liquids, according to our birth class teacher. I'll have to check the list of stuff we can have/do.

this is also me. I water down OJ, ferchrissake, and I find chatico really good. although it's almost too sweet by the end.
