I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

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.

Jilli and Ple - she sat at your table at the wedding

Jilli's table. My table had Kim and other weirdos.

(Who all sat at my table? We were pretty rowdy.)

Always Anti-fascist!

What a great story.(Although a different sort of great story from Sedaris getting kicked out of guitar lessons for using his Holiday voice on "I Wish I Was An Oscar Mayer Weiner") So glad you all are having such a great time.

Phil-the-Gambler, and Gary, and Kim's cool arty friend Cathy.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Oh! I forgot to post yesterday that I'm now the proud owner of a new white 2005 Chevy Cobalt sedan. Finally traded in the Cavalier after 175,000 miles. Goodbye, greater-than-recommended-amount 401K contribution!

In other news, David Cross is currently dressed like Phil on Celebrity Poker.

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

Cool. The Cobalt is supposed to be much better than the Cavalier, which was getting rather long in the tooth.

See, I *thought* Phil and Gary were at the table, but I wasn't sure. I do remember thinking, "Hey, I'm at Hec's Storytime Table!"

Hmmm, well I do tell stories about you all the time.

eta: For example, at our lunch with the columnist Jon Carroll we talked about you. Which prompted him to talk about Susannah McCorkle (the jazz/caberet singer who committed suicide) - who he was friends with in college.

Of course, it strikes me funny that Matt's cobalt is white.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And, there's my case for cremation.

In my mother's family, they bury the cremains (favorite word!) under the family headstone, so you can have both.

at our lunch with the columnist Jon Carroll

You had lunch with Jon Carroll? Cool.

I need to scare up the link to his "don't hate what you love" column, which was marvelous.
