It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

I don't have the link, but Cookie Monster is going health food. The PTBs have decided that he needs to eat more veggies to be a good role model.
Feh.
Oh, sheeesh.

Cracking me up. Is Captain Vegetable on Sesame Street anymore?

I'm in the honors' computer lab right now, and we have cookies too. And candy. The coordinator loves us.

Is the marijuana plant technically a vegetable? 'Cause, well, cookies...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Yay for the good coordinator.

Because books.

Timelies. It's Monday. Ugh.

What should I buy my friend for a wedding gift?

I just got a friend an engraved frame on RedEnvelope for her shower. It's silver, it's classy, and it was only $40. You can put their names on one line, and the wedding date beneath. That might work for you.

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

They need a glaucoma muppet. That way they can introduce pot use, as it's strictly medicinal.

Kate, something I've done for weddings, wedding showers, graduation gifts is different things from this basic concept (boy, I'm wordy today!). Buy a bucket and fill it with cleaning supplies. Or, buy laundry basket and fill it with detergent, fabric softener, towels, etc. Those are things that everyone needs, and it can be a fairly inexpensive gift.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yeah, Nationals does sound like the kind of name chosen because nobody hated it, as opposed to anyone liking it.

It was also a traditional nickname for the Senators. They were often referred to as the Nationals or Nats in the forties and fifties.

Whereas, last night's game was on Channel 14 broadcast in Boston, as well as ESPN2, while the cable channel NESN did everything but re-enact the play by play, in absence of having the actual game.

Really? It was blacked out on ESPN2 here, but we got the NESN broadcast. Unless Cox stuck the local channel into NESN's slot for the night.

My league awareness has been kinda poor -- the only person I can name on the D-Rays is Carl Crawford.

Only one I remember is Alex Sanchez, and that's just because he was suspended for 'roids this morning.

Sanchez has got to be the dumbest player in baseball.
