Eeek, flea -- the kind of reference case they don't tell you about in library school, I bet.
Buffy: Where are the burgers? Riley: Yeah man, I'm starving. Cow me. Xander: I'd love to make with the moo but the fire's not cooperating.

What is even happening?
Don't make me break out the domestication conversation all afresh, when the first run hasn't quite tapered off.

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
so, a building collapsed on 100 & Bway? anyone know of this?
That's three blocks from me and I heard neither sirens nor booms. Dallas and I shall take a stroll over and investigate.

Ha! The fact that it's frowning makes my day. Electricity is grouchy!
I love that!
There are some weird heavy construction trucks around here that are tall enough to expose big spinny grindy axle (power take-off) bits underneath, and those have the best warning signs. Poor little silhouette guy getting twisted and chewed up by the axle.

One of the little-known hazards of parenting. I limit Annabel's PBS to Sesame Street and Between the Lions just because the earworms are a tad less obnoxious than with Teletubbies, Barney, etc.

That's awesome. My dad got falling-rock signs that involved a car with a smushed roof for the road up to the observatory. They kept getting stolen, though.

There's a warning sticker on our overhead cabinets in our cubicles warning about the door on it. The stick figure guy is supposed to look like he's being hit int he head by a falling door, but looks like he's being impaled with a pole.

Damn cats! Why do we bring wild animals into the house, anyway?!??!
Because they have cute snores when they're curled up next to you, holding your wrist between their front paws.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am earwormed with "Oooh Child." I think my friendslist is somehow at fault, but I'm scared to go back.
I am in total fog this morning. I may need to go back to my car and lie down. And come back with coffee.
