This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Cindy, I just edited my prev. post. None of these are traditional Caesar salads.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Healthma galore to Mr. Mejia. Hope your healthy soon, Jeff.

My eyeball hurts. This is undoubtedly due to me wearing my previous prescription on my backup glasses for more than a year. My eyeball is basically saying, "Fuck you, lazybones. Get a new prescription." It says this with shooting stabby pain in my right eye, and sudden, profluent watering.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It was really hard not to get a burger, and I'm surprisingly full. I'm sure it's a more meal-sized number of calories with the dressing, I just happened to get one that had an ingredient I can't eat (they don't automatically give you Caesar dressing, weird).

(eta: Ouch! Poor Hec eyes)

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Y'all are making me hungry. I'm thinking Subway for a turkey wrap.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

It's right up there with squirrels terrified into incontinence

Does that relate to the Peruvian Squirrel Pimps?

It does. Those were related discussions.

Everything comes back to the Peruvian Squirrel Pimps.

Or dogs in Elk.

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

Has the research into farting herring been posted here? It's been honored at the 2005 Ig™ Nobel Tour of the UK, along with the gay duck necrophilia research.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

I'm thinking Subway

That's what I had for lunch. I ate it outside, too. (Here in the land of "the winter" I was excited... Lunch! Outside! when it's warm!)

I really need to move somewhere where it's warm year round.

I don't know how many people remember Elizabeth Smart, the girl who was kidnapped from her home in 2002 and was found with two people nearly a year later. The woman involved has been repeatedly found mentally incompetent, and she refused drugs and treatment because she says she's not crazy, everyone else is evil. Prosecutors want to force the drugs on her so she'll become competent so they can try her.

This disturbs me. It smacks of "We'll drug you into the condition we want you in so we can do what we want to you." She says God gives her messages through movies and has told her to keep silent. Nobody claims the Prophet of the LDS Church is crazy, and he says he hears from God all the time.

Taking a girl from her home and turning her into a man's second "wife" is wrong. But drugging someone into conformity against their will also feels wrong. Why not just say, "OK, she's nuts, lock the door"?
