Also not right : "Steve, don't eat it!"
The prison wine part of that might be the funniest thing I've read this week. Too bad the janitor came in while I was reading it, simultaneously covering my mouth in horror and laughing out loud.
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My friend Rachel's response to the pot of meat? "So what? He's a picky eater."
Don't show that to Lori, please.

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
In other words he thinks it's silly that people would think an 11 year old wouldn't understand that throwing a rock at someone's head might be dangerous.
Sure, dangerous. But fleony dangerous? Assault with a deadly weapon dangerous? Ask him if he sees a difference between what she did and if she'd pulled a gun on the kid-- because that's essentially what she was charged with.

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine
But there are points at which you figure they've been presented with enough information and have the wiring that they could be expected to get 4 from 2+2.
Like the 2004 elections?
5 x 3 isn't THAT big a rock.
It's a softball. Except it's not soft.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh, come on! It's not just wrong. It's also hysterical. In a very wrong way, but it's a victimless crime.Tell that to the pig:
While I cannot endorse the eating of Pickled Pork Rinds, I do endorse playing with it like a puzzle. I did have some fun trying to put the pig back together, but eventually that got boring as I lost the will to live.
Actually, totally victimless. Just I was thinking of grabbing something to eat in a few minutes and now I am thinking no.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I"m not finding the foods described by Steve to be that disgusting, but the desriptions are priceless.
And some guy eating Beggin' Strips in a BLT? Hi-larious.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The corn smut didn't make your hair wiggle, even a little? The wine with the socks?

I'm currently trying to figure out why meat food product seems so nasty, when I'm perfectly willing to eat cheese food product.

What is even happening?
Am I indoctrinating my children?
We have this little hand held quiz game toy: Turbo Twist Brain quest. It asks trivia questions. Christopher (age 5) is playing it. He must be answering social studies questions right now.
The game just asked him something like, "In a Democracy, how do leaders get into office?"
The choices were: get elected; win the lottery; seize power. Chris answered, "Seize Power--that's right, right Mommy."
