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 that's crispy.

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

Aha. One would need batter, then.

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

Has anyone ever used Stormpay --- it's like paypal or bid pay.

It looks sleazy. After a cursory view of their website, it appears that you can setup an account for free, but any payments you make are going to include a 3% service fee. So you'll pay more as a buyer to use stormpay as opposed to paypal where it's the seller who incurs the cost.

Also their purchaser protection plan is total bullshit. For example:

2. Eligibility. Purchaser complaints must be filed within 45 days of the payment. Even if the purchaser’s claim is justified, the purchaser will receive a recovery only if there are funds in the seller’s account. RECOVERY OF YOUR CLAIM IS NOT GUARANTEED.

Yes, crispy not crunchy

Also, you know what's embarassing? Having to have a lorakeet pulled out of your cleavage. In front of a bunch of strangers. On a busy Saturday at the Aquaruim of the Pacific. BUT this is not as bad as being pooped on by a lorakeet as you attempt to leave the cage. The worst part? Being mocked and laughed at by your brother, your husband and your children. Suffice it to say that I won't be returning to the lorakeet cages any time soon.

KAT! Next time you guys are paddling around MdR, you need to stop by! You can't miss the boat - we're on the end of the next to last dock - diagonally from the Chart House.

Edited for spelling dur!

Whoa. That organic plum I just finished might have been the sweetest fruit I've ever eaten. Certainly beat the chocolate and the cupcake I've also had today.

My experimentation with organic fruit continues...

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Hello, peeps. flea is back, and so am I. (I gave up and skipped like a demented marathoner, so I have no idea what you all have been talking about.)

The only place I know the "crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside" line from is the Far Side, when one polar bear says it to another, while they are slurping up the contents of an igloo. But I bet Gary Larson is riffing on something I just don't remember.

Work! Why do people have to do work? Why can't we all just play all day? I mean, and not get fired?

Thanks Wolfram!

I'll pass that on to my friend.

DAWN! Next time I'll email you before we go. I don't know where the Chart House is... but it would be fun to paddle over to you.
