Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Okay...so I saw this link elsewhere and I was so aghast, I had to share it with the buffistas:

Mary Kay Letourneau - the teacher who had a sexual relationship with her student and now has 1-2 kids with him - has been released from prison and married the young man (I think he is 19 or so now).

Here is their Macy's wedding registry:

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

I think he is 19 or so now

22, 2 kids

Ok, so I just got back from Dairy Queen (ice cream shop for the un-Americans). Here's the conversation I had with the DQ Associate:

Me: Hot fudge sundae with peanuts, please.

Him: Just peanuts?

Me (confused): Yes, just peanuts. Hot fudge sundae with peanuts.

Him: Ok.

female DQ Associate hands my order to him

Him: Oh, no! He just wants a hot fudge with only peanuts.

female DQ Associate has a confused look (mirrored by my own, I'm sure) and begins to make another

Me: No, no, that's fine, that's what I ordered!

Him: Oh-kay.

He hands me my order

Question I have: who the fuck orders a hot fudge sundae with only peanuts (i.e. sans hot fudge?!?).

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Now I want a hot fudge sundae with peanuts. Thanks a fucking lot, Eddie.

Also...hee.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'd think a person would say "ice cream with peanuts" if they didn't actually want the hot fudge on it. I mean, right?

I am trying trying to dig out of all the paper in my living room. There is a LOT. It's kind of sick.

Because books.

Now I want Dairy Queen of any kind.

I also just realized that DQ was in my dream last night, and the one near us had closed or burned down or something, and I was very upset. Like, in tears. Maybe I have stronger feelings about DQ than I thought.

I did the next best thing, I chopped up some fresh fruit and tossed it with yoghurt. It's almost as good as ice cream, isn't it? Please, let me believe this.

I have a plan.

Friend of mine in college once won a Big Mac on the Monopoly game. So he goes in to collect and orders: One Big Mac, no meat.

Counter Guy: No meat?

Friend: No meat.

Counter Guy (to the back): One Big Mac, no meat.

From back: No meat?

Counter Guy: No meat.

I've mopped the floors and cleaned my bathtub. What's a fella to do now when it's 108 outside?

Gus is right...Love child was not correct...spiritual descendant? But then, he had me convinced I was beautiful and brilliant yesterday...my rhetoric might have gotten away from me.
