This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

move out and draw fire

Also, Raq, if you're still around.... I tagged you

I'm back, and I'm It!

I was just debating whether to ask for some health~ma in Press, and it occurred to me that the Buffista "-ma" tradition is tantamount to prayer.

I received the most annoying of all bill hammocks today: Handed the tollbooth guy € 3 for the € 2.50 toll. He handed me my change all wadded up in the receipt. Seriously, he'd crumpled the receipt around the change, so I couldn't just drop it into the change cup without looking while accelerating away and trying to not ram anyone. I dropped the whole thing into the passenger seat to deal with later, and the change promptly escaped the wadded paper and headed for the upholstery crease.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I saw a commercial for that last night. Were my tired eyes deceiving me or was the tagline for the chicken fries, Coq Roq?

On investigation, mine eyes were right: CoqRoq.com.

Dude, if there were CoqRoq t-shirts, I would SO buy one.

I'm feeling out of the family loop. I found out that my cousin got a divorce just because my mom mentioned his divorce in passing.

What'ca doing in Detroit Steph?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I get my change handed to me on tio of the stack of bill(s) pretty often, and it doesn't bother me. Making it into a hammock by holding the ends I haven't seen and think is weird.

My favorite way to get change is when the little auxiliary change machine spits it into a metal cup. I just think it's neat.

I found out my brother had gotten married the same way. From him.

But my brother is just WEIRD.

Oh wait, I just realized my good association with "Have a blessed day" --- in DC, can you still call that crazy cafeteria menu line with the lady who loves you so much and sings and whatnot? Man, she got me through many a bad day when I lived down there. I think she ended with "Have a blessed day." Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

The menu lady! Yes, I remember her. I enjoyed listening to her from time to time.

what, the Bible hasn't aired on the West Coast yet?

You even have to ask?

In three days, I am leaving for a week at the beach, and I am very, very happy about that.

I found out my brother had been in rehab for three weeks from my mother -- who mentioned it in passing.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I think we're from the same family, Theodosia.
