I am struggling not to eat another cupcake.
I blame ita, and it makes me want to call her roast beef sandwich a cake.
Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Call it a cake if you will. You can't erase the delicious taste from my mouth. You'll just brand yourself craxxy, and lord knows there isn't enough Blue Mountain in the world to start giving any of it to craxxy people.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Oh, he looks very tarted up.
It's the lips. And the dyed hair.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And the eyeliner?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Damn. I meant to tape PB - I think my bartender may be in it.
I've got it, brenda. You're welcome to come over and watch. (You have your own personal bartender?!)
Maybe they can do a big 24/PB crossover event.
I'm waiting for it to become The Fugitive, buddy pic style ( which doesn't preclude a crossover now that I think about it). Tommy Lee Jones can guest star.
What part of town do you live in, quester?

I do think it would have been better to see Roddick as his own cowboy-geared mojo rather than someone else.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Two weeks ago my uncle found a kitten huddled up against the foundation of his house. No idea if he was lost, misplaced, abandoned, or dropped off. They can't keep him because their cat in residence won't tolerate competition. Fortunately they found him a good home without having to resort to the local pound. My aunt finally sent me pictures. The first one is from two weeks ago--he looks to me like he couldn't have been more than six weeks old. The second and third photos are from last Saturday. He goes to his new home tomorrow.

[T]he government reaction the last time an American city was destroyed - San Francisco, April 18, 1906.
The earthquake struck at 5:13 AM.
By 7 AM federal troops had reported to the mayor.
By 8 AM they were patrolling the entire downtown area and searching for survivors.
The second quake struck at 8:14 AM.
By 10:05 AM the USS Chicago was on its way from San Diego to San Francisco; by 10:30 the USS Preble had landed a medical team and set up an emergency hospital.
By 11 AM large parts of the city were on fire; troops continued to arrive throughout the day, evacuating people from the areas threatened by fire to emergency shelters and Golden Gate Park.
St. Mary's hospital was destroyed by the fire at 1 PM, with no loss of life, the staff and patients having already been evacuated across the bay to Oakland.
By 3 PM troops had shot several looters, and dynamited buildings to make a firebreak; by five they had buried dozens of corpses, the morgue and the police pistol range being unable to hold any more.
At 8:40 PM General Funston requested emergency housing - tents and shelters - from the War Department in Washington; all of the tents in the U.S. Army were on their way to San Francisco by 4:55 AM the next morning.
Prisoners were evacuated to Alcatraz, and by April 20 (two days after the earthquake) the USS Chicago had reached San Francisco, where it evacuated 20,000 refugees.
