You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I have named the new iPod mini "Bob".

Inspired by your dance moves?

I woke up with one live spider and one dead millipede- in pieces- on me. I have the feeling I should just write this day off.

No, I've seen this movie, you've been sucked into a nefarious web (heh) of deceit and betrayal, and it's up to you to discover who wanted teh millipede dead and whether the spider's being framed. Good luck. I expect that when you confront the Big Bad (drawn in like a moth to a flame) you'll find he knows all your plans, as your apartment has been bugged.

No, not buggered, bugged. I may be Australian, but I still have a modicum of self-control.

I love the Eighties is making me want a Tears for Fears cd. In much the same way that The Amazing Race makes me want to visit Switzerland.

My brother has Songs From The Big Chair. But has never been to Switzerland. Thus nature balances itself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, remember the talk of tv-"swears" for dubbing? On Cold Case just now, they used two in a row, all on purpose -- first "same shed, different tool," then "back the truck up." Made me laff.

I am still full from brunch. That can't be right.

Also, you yourself don't suck, Allbelle.

That's Teppy's job.

Oh, Perkins. I retired from that job LONG ago, since you do SUCH a good job at it!

Cafe Press helps me make my monkey shirt a reality.

I need a life.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Poor, delusional Teppy. How are you feeling, and how was the shindig?

I can't remember what interview and where, or even who it was (though I suspect it was someone involved with NYPD Blue on NPR), but they said not swearing actually made them be more vulgar because they had to be more explicit with the words surrounding the non-curse. He was saying something like you substitute any nonsense word for the actual offensive word, but surround it with more descriptive words.

Hey, we have less than 200 posts left. Do you think we can kill the thread tonight, before the naming debate has time to happen?

Yay!

What shall we talk about?

What did you do this weekend?

I got my haircut, and cleaned, and even made some progress with my clothing storage issues.
