'Dirty Girls'
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.
Will it pass the Senate?
But this quote gets me:
"Ask the men and women who stood on top of the (World) Trade Center," said Rep. Randy (Duke) Cunningham, R-Calif. "Ask them and they will tell you: pass this amendment."
Bullshit. And stop using the people who died on 9/11 as the new "In the name of Jesus...."
Aha! Since I was wondering:
In the UK (and probably most other Commonwealth countries) sherbet is a white powder commonly found in various sweets and confectionery. Its main properties are an acidic, tingly taste and it quickly dissolves in water.

Also,
Sylvar says In the US, sherbet is very bad sorbet. The only thing similar to UK sherbet, as far as I know, is "Lik-m-Aid" (Wonka's Fun Dip). The powder doesn't have its own name here, though.
Heh. Also, there's a recipe for sherbet powder, which seems to be made of icing sugar, citric acid, and bicarbonate of soda. Which I've never seen outside of 40s books and movies.
Kenyan, 73, kills leopard with bare hands
NAIROBI - A 73-year-old Kenyan grandfather reached into the mouth of an attacking leopard and tore out its tongue to kill it, authorities said Wednesday.
Peasant farmer Daniel M’Mburugu was tending to his potato and bean crops in a rural area near Mount Kenya when the leopard charged out of the long grass and leapt on him.
M’Mburugu had a machete in one hand but dropped that to thrust his fist down the leopard’s mouth. He gradually managed to pull out the animal’s tongue, leaving it in its death-throes.
I can't even let myself process that, because it will send me into a blind rage.
But the next line in the article is a thing of beauty:
But Rep. Jerrold Nadler (news, bio, voting record), D-N.Y., said, "If the flag needs protection at all, it needs protection from members of Congress who value the symbol more than the freedoms that the flag represents."
Right the fuck ON.
Mr. Nadler is going to get some American Flag cookies, I tell ya.
One can get chicken fried steak at redbones. as well as chicken fried chicken and pulled pork
OMG I WANT A PULLED PORK SANDWICH RIGHT NOW.
We eat at Redbones *all* the time now- like we're trying to get our fix before moving away from it,
He gradually managed to pull out the animal’s tongue, leaving it in its death-throes.
Ew. Also... didn't it bite down?
Suddenly I'm a bit more scared about the Kenyan shit-flingers.
Yay! My reluctantly adopted practice of cc-ing higher-ups on e-mails to uncooperative higher-ups may be paying off.
The buck is totally not stopping here.

Wow, I can hear my mother's head exploding from here.
(She can't cope with "nukyular" either.)
