I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I want to get married. I love paper. I want personalised notecards, hell, I even like laser printer paper.

I was writing out my first batch of thank you notes last night and realized i need even MORE paper. Love paper. I also love Pantone color books.

I love paper, too. Pantone color books are fun (plus, I get a 12-year-old giggle out of specifying "pms" colors for 2-color jobs). I'm pretty sure you could translate a paper anniversary to mean "books". And a fella who buys me books, especially books I really like, well, after a year of marriage to me he'd know it's a way to my heart. Or other parts.

I cannot shoot myself as I have no opposable thumbs.

Cows will need a really big keyboard or to type only with the point of the hoof. Circus cows are the secretaries of the cows. They'll have to know how to balance themselves gracefully on three legs, while leaning forward to read what they just typed.

OK, I can see this image too clearly. Somebody remind me that it's late and I need to go home and stop teaching cows to type, please? I don't have any pretty paper here for a thankyou card for anybody in gratitude for reminding me, but at least I won't be printing one with my hooves.

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

Someone do something for me, so I can thank them, stat!

I'd send you some treats if I had your address.

I want to know what the horses used to type with when they ordered it over the Internet.

Maybe they just dictated the orders to Wilbur?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Google has to many options, I need the hivemind - what are notecards?

You know greeting cards? Like birthday cards or whatever? They are often like that, only blank on the inside. It's a heavy paper, folded in half (usually), for writing notes on. They come in all shapes and sizes.

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

jz -- what a wonderful restaurant. Sounds perfect.

Best puttanesca I ever had. I made the mistake of getting the extra goat cheese on top, which it didn't need. It was all perfectly homey Italian food. Pasta was fresh and properly al dente. Hearty, tons of flavor, filling without overstuffing.

Thanks, Jesse. I join you and ita and everybody in loving those, then, now that I know what they are.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Blockbuster screwed?

Notecards!

I had lovely sushi lunch but now my stomach is hurty.

Any time, Nilly. That all made sense, then?

Now I want puttanesca. mmmmm.... salty.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Defamer is saying Arrested Development got picked up. I only recently fell for it, but I fell pretty hard, so-- yay.
