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

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Our church did a Taize service just this past weekend:

On Sunday, August 14, during the 10:30 am Festival Service, we will convene Taizé -style. What is Taizé (pronounced by many Americans as tih-ZAY)? Taizé is an Ecumenical Christian community based in the village of that name in southeastern France. Founded in 1940 by Swiss theologian Roger Schutz, it has been a communal centre for young Christians since the 1960s. Its community of monks is made up of members from the various Christian denominations all over the world. The Taizé community also works around the world among the poor.
A Taizé -style service is full of chants and songs which are repeated many times in a meditative fashion. Scripture is recited, prayers are said, and often candles are lit, but the music takes on power as it is repeated and varied and interspersed with silence.

Kat, I saw a cute wee townhouse rental thing I can afford, and it's close to you guys and is a one bedroom.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

The church I used to work at dabbled in bringing Taize elements into the service. The serious liturgists went into various degrees of apoplecty.

Lunch today: I had some chicken salad salad, and then a chicken kabob pita sandwich.

Ideal work lunch: Hmm, I think that an Anna's Tacqueria carnitas burrito is the ideal lunch. Which is why I have it practically every day.

Because books.

I'd never heard of his community before.

Me either. What a horrible thing.

Epicurean pleasures should be for every time!

I can get behind that.

My favorite lunch when I was working in the city was this amazing chunky chicken salad from the deli across the street, on pumpernickel bread, with fresh brewed iced tea and an orange.

"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

Here is a fun one: what are you having/did you have for lunch? What is your ideal workday lunch?

Today I had 3 slices of leftover veggie pizza and some tortilla chips. Curent ideal workday lunch is take-out teppanyaki shrimp w/fried rice and vegetables, though if I had my druthers the lady who used to run Country Boy Bakery would still be making steamed roast beef and swiss sandwiches on croissants.

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

No, they'd figure out the advantages of combining the talents. They're clever enough for that. And then they'd rule the world, or at least invent a time machine or a personalized perfect-lunch generetor.
