Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

floating noodles are the BEST because they require little effort on the lounger to stay afloat.
Use two and they are effort-free. Unless there are waves and they try to go different ways.

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

The most interesting thing I've learned today:

...the eccentricity of the Earth's orbit (how elliptical it is) also changes over very long periods of time, from almost zero (circular orbit) to about three times its current value. The eccentricity of the orbit varies periodically with a time scale of about 100,000 years.

Cass, if you are really flush, you can use three and put one beneath your head.

I do better with the single noodle though.

Kat is my noodle Idol...

Do you solo noodle mid-body or kinda sitting? With two I hook one under my neck and one under my knees.

Oh good - recently I haven't had a chance myself to worry about it.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Jon Stewart and his writers were on fire tonight--amazing what good conflict at the White House will do for TDS. Best line of the evening (and possibly of the year so far):

We've secretly replaced the White House press corps with real journalists. Let's see if anyone notices!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

There is really going to be a reality show to replace Michael Hutchence? Because I can kinda hear the catchy tunes but mostly my brain is repeating autoerotic asphyxiation over and over, and I think I am kinda on the more accepting edge of the fetish charts.

Yep. It's been planned for some time now.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Jessica, the "And that's how Season 8 was going to start" one?

Ha! No, actually -- the Monkey Batman one.
