Woe to the fucking wicked.

The question is, do you start with the comic book or the tv show? Because I can see it going huge.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I think in our fifties you and I should merge in some super hero fashion into a Big Momma entity. We'll bake pies, share wigs, and fight crime.

And tell dirty jokes! Though I suppose you already have that part covered.

Freebietude might be my new favorite word.

I was also thinking about freebieosity and freebieness and bear free and free beer and free verse and free will and free enterprise and FREEBIRD and the word has lost all meaning.

Wow, I'm drugged to my nonexistent gills.

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

Well, we can try ...

Random Jewish question: is it allowed to knit on the Sabbath? Or is that considered work?

It's one of the 39 categories of work:

This includes all crocheting, knitting, and braiding activities.

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

This includes all crocheting, knitting, and braiding activities.

Can you braid hair?

Not only can you not braid hair, you can't comb hair. Because you might pull some out, and that is considered shearing.

If I only had a brain...

Does everybody look scruffy Saturday morning?

It's can be a sign of piety to look a little scruffy on the Sabbath. When DH was going to the Orthodox synagogue fairly frequently, he would sometimes apologize for being whiskery, and the rabbi would always tell him that it was better that he didn't break the sabbath by shaving. Of course, he'd drive to service because we didn't live nearby, but he'd park around the corner to preserve appearances.

I imagine if it's a part of your weekly routine you can manage to look more presentable.
