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

Everybody needs to now assure me that they already own Odessey and Oracle, now.

Nope. Sorry.

I'm trying to figure out why I feel as if I've been kicked in the ribs. Actually, it's more confounding than painful.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Did you slip and catch yourself? I had a sore trapezius a few weeks ago and we think that's how I did it. Big and little muscles seized up when the ice tripped me and I grabbed a railing, and one of the little ones got yanked but good.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I need to invoke the full power of the hive mind.

I have a dozen beautiful tiki god candle holders for the LOST Tiki Lounge. I love them. I must use them.

The problem is that the candles inside are citronella, and it reaks something AWFUL.

We have a chicken satay station with peanut and plum sauces and coconut shrimp and the room is going to smell so yummy...but then the citronella will just make people throw up.

I tried freezing them. I tried melting them with boiling water. Nothing will make the candles inside pop out.

Please. Please help.

I was going to suggest boiling water.

Have you tried pouring boiling water over the outside of the candle-holders?

Can't you just burn them down outside or something, or will that mess up the holders? Heat up a knife blade, get a good oven mitt and cut them out?

I soaked the whole holders in boiling water, and then when that didnt work, got a hammer and chisel, and busted through the ceramic. Hot knife could work!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Hot knife could work!

Just make sure you use a knife with a wooden handle. An all-metal one will be too hot for you to hold once the blade is sufficiently warm.

I don't think so. I've wrenched my back that way before. This feels like a bruise from some kind of pressure or impact. I know how I got the bruises on my shins. This one just confuses me.

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