Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

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.

I've given some thoughts to trying to hook up a battery pack and lights to have things happen when the switches are flipped, but I'm just going to concentrate on getting everything together before getting fancy.

Edit: I might be asking for some advice on this at some point in the future.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

In my book, a personal assistant job might involve picking up dry-cleaning or store items for the boss, maybe even picking up kids from school once in a while. But manicurists and nurses/orderlies are the only people who should be clipping nails for someone over the age of 10.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I vote we have the 2006 F2F in Gud's backyard, because once that spaceship is done his backyard will without question be the single coolest location in the country. If you add an espresso bar and a corset boutique, make that the entire continent.

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

I envision an espresso-fueled spaceship trip to Planet Corset.

You know, it's really not that exciting. There's the spaceship, the playset, a deck, a patio, a huge pile of yard waste, a metal shed, and some grass and weeds battling it out.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

Oh man. Didn't we do this 80 freaking years ago?
The Kansas Board of Education has scheduled six days of courtroom-style hearings to begin Thursday in Topeka. More than two dozen witnesses will give testimony and be subject to cross-examination, with the majority expected to argue against teaching evolution.

I saw this in local news, Gud. Don't know what purpose it's supposed to serve except to make the rest of the country go, "Yep, that's about what I expected from Kansas." The Scopes trial at least had a purpose, even though it was staged--it was a dry run to see how people would react to the idea of evolution being taught. This time around, there's no reason for it except maybe to further galvanize the Christian Right's support for the GOP.

You know those adhesive heat pads? They don't last even close to 8 hours.

The thing about playgrounds is even the simplest things make them fantastic. I mean, I used to have fun making obstacle courses out of red limestone chunks and 2x6s yanked from a demolition site. If something actually resembled something? Whoa cool.
