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.

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

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

I skimmed.

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."

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

Also not right : "Steve, don't eat it!"

Too much funny. G*d bless the internet.

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

I was thinking you were made of some stern stuff, -t.

Jesse, I think it's because they killed things, and then productised it. It's a perversion of life.

Not even slightly wrong.

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

I was wrong.

(Hey, I can admit it. On the internet. Where I might be me or I might be a fluffy kitten. Because I have plausible deniability.)

From the bad!food site: Regarding Red Prison Wine

Anthony: "I would drink this in prison."

Steve: "I would drink this in high school!"

That cracked me up, Cass. I couldn't read some of them. They were too yucky for me to contemplate. I'm wondering about the potted meat though, and how very different it is on toast, from Bovril on toast, which my Brit friends do eat.

Poking head - no, I'm not really here, it can't be a head. Can somebody poke the tips of their hair? Anyway, whatever it is I'm disturbing the conversation with, it's terribly late and I'm such a mess, but! According to the Buffista Calendar it's Deena's birthday today. Happy birthday, Deena! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year.

I've skipped around 3000 posts, so I have no idea what's been mentioned and what wasn't - Sheryl and her DH's anniversary the day before yesterday and Aimée and miracleman's yesterday, for example. So lots of (alas, belated) wishes for them, as well.

And in case I'm just as lame and postingless the following days, the 5th will be Fred Pete's birthday, and the 6th will be Robin's, so lots of early wishes for the both of them, as well.

The tips of my hair should go join the rest of my not-here head now. It will be a bit strange for hairs to run along all alone on the ground, and I'll probably have to wash them a lot, but at least they were strong enough to click on the keyboard and type this post. Me, not being here, just misses you guys lots.

Wasn't Bovril just uberthick stock?
