Doesn't matter if your mom and MIL wear identical puce dresses, or lavender pantsuits with giant hats, or nothing but their birthday suits and matching ostrich-feather cootch curtains.

BWAH! I love it when you become indignant; it leads to an unmatched eloquence.

Block it out or delegate it or I'm'a kick your ass.

Really, I'm through with it. It's not just SEP, it is THEIR problem. Not mine. Theirs. But you can still kick my ass if you wanna. You're in a mood; I can tell.

I can't remember HDT's outfit. And no, I don't think we ever do. Somebody should be getting very angry about that.

BTW, I liked the missing person's Tarot Deck. Did anyone recognize what sort it was?

My top and bottom lip are stuck together,

Monkey See, Monkey Do
A South African zoo is trying to persuade its star chimpanzee to kick a bad smoking habit. Charlie, a grown male chimp and the Bloemfontein Zoo, has been picking up cigarettes thrown to him by visitors and smoking them -- a habit he probably picked up by observing humans, zoo officials told the SAPA news agency on Thursday. "Baby chimps pick up habits by mimicking adults and we think he started mimicking smokers at his enclosure which probably led to smokers throwing him cigarettes," spokesman Daryl Barnes said. Barnes said Charlie was already showing the signs of a true nicotine addict. "He even acts like a naughty schoolboy by hiding the cigarette when staff approach the area."

No, you're lucky. Because he was wearing a blue track suit with white stripes, and a light blue old man's cap. Hideous.

Sumi, wasn't it the Rider deck?

No, I don't think so -- the images were a little different. Although I am sure that it was a RW-based deck.

My top and bottom lip are stuck together, and I'm trying to work out how to gently get them apart without opening the wound again.

Ouch. Perhaps revisiting some droolworthy sites would help.

Sumi -- the only card I remember was the Emperor, and my memory matched Rider. But I was kinda dozing.

WHERE CAN I FIND THOSE????

Dear lord. It seems like you ought to apply some sort of blood-dissolving substance to assist in this. However, I can't think of anything that wouldn't hurt a lot. Maybe tea?

It wasn't this deck, was it:

At least no one will try to mess with her at the Lost party. The intimidation factor has gone up by 10.
