"Won't somebody think of the cocker spaniels?"
Obviously a liberal plot to bring refugee animals to San Francisco so they can gay-marry.
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

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

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Speaking of gay marriage, did I mention that the Mass. state constitutional convention is expected to be unable to pass the resolution that puts "no to gay marriage" on the ballot for a constitutional amendment?
Okay, forgive the tortured elocution. The upshot is, everybody realized that married gay people were no big whoop, except to the small minority of people to whom it is a huge whoop, and that kind of whoop is not exactly bringin' in the votes. Kind of funny. (There's still talk of "No, we meant civil unions," but the outright ban amendment is DOA.)
Anyway, marriage has been a universal right in this state for 17 months, and it pleases me no end how quickly the "no big whoop" status has come about.

But I have no idea if the trains are running yet.
I know the street lights in the area are all blinking red.

Silence means security silence means approval
Useless fact I learned from the magazine section of the Sunday Seattle Times:
The Japanese word katsu (as in tonkatsu or the signs in the U District advertising "chicken katsu") is a corruption of the word cutlet.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Will someone tell me to stop compusively checking ebay to see if more people have bid on my tickets?

OK, traffic will be a bitch and I'm sure it freaked a lot of people out (and probably caused some injuries) but
Lee Sapaden, a spokesman for the county Office of Emergency Management, said the massive power failure was caused after an employee "inadvertenly cut a power cable" at a DWP substation in West Los Angeles.
excuse me while I go wipe the tears from my eyes.
So ....classic.
Some days I'm surprised we as a species make it out of bed without maiming ourselves.

Yeah, I heard that on the radio.
So, just so everyobdy knows, especially any terrorists -- cutting one wire brings it all down! And that wire is in the West LA substation.

Well, we already knew that a dude with a backhoe on the Eastern seaboard can take out half the Internet...

The evil is this way?

See, this is why backhoes should be banned. And don't give me any of that "if backhoes are banned, only construction workers will have backhoes." I don't care. Darn things are a menace.
