Clean diamonds, I'm assuming, lest the irony kill one.

I was figuring they were blood diamonds, and a product of the evil capitalist machine that spits on irony.

If I only had a brain...

  • Are* there clean diamonds nowadays?

Damn. I was planning on replacing my grandmother's diamond pendant that was stolen, and I clean forgot that issue.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Hi! and I live 2 blocks due North of the Art Institute

Hey, quester! So you're close to all the cool stuff. And probably have lots of people passing thru the neighborhood. Sorry some of them messed with your car.

PB: I'm having issues with the toe thing. Someone remind me that I shouldn't try to apply logic or realism.

There are Canadian diamonds, Betsy. But I think DeBeers has control of most of the mines here too, so if your issue is with the company, they're harder to find.

There's always those cremation diamonds. Anybody pissing you off lately?

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

There are also synthetic diamonds, which should make bloody ones totally obsolete. Unless deBeers has also bought up all of that technology.

Which I would do, if I were an evil monopolistic corporation, and then I would chuckle while dry-washing my hands.

You know what the problem with the world is? The villains will not admit that they are villains, despite our all knowing it. If only they would all grow mustaches, so that we may know them by their twirl!

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

Oh my.

(CNN) -- Add geography to the growing list of FEMA fumbles.

A South Carolina health official said his colleagues scrambled Tuesday when FEMA gave only a half-hour notice to prepare for the arrival of a plane carrying as many as 180 evacuees to Charleston.

But the plane, instead, landed in Charleston, West Virginia, 400 miles away.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

And probably have lots of people passing thru the neighborhood.

Hey, aurelia! Yes, many people passing through. Many new people moving in all the time and there is a sort of half-way house or something for people who have no where else to go. They tend to wander around, go through garbage or beg in front of the Wild Oats on Main.

And we get more tag/graffiti all the time.

Our wings are not tired.

Mayor Nagin has given the order to force evacuation of the city. My heart just aches so much for all of them. [link]
