There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Needing to suppress the urge to strangle multiple people at work and on the Cruel Internets, I was pleased to see [link] baby panda belly.

There is in fact, a Tiki Dog (Female) and a Tiki Dog (Male). Though I suppose you can have a cross-dressing pooch if you feel like it.

Christopher really wants to be a skunk for Halloween, but this is the largest one I can find. [link] He's about 50 pounds and I disremember how tall. *sigh*

That's too much money for a Halloween costume for a five year old, anyhow.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Dear Travelocity: Stop giving me itineraries that involve 31-minute layovers in O'Hare. YOU AREN'T FOOLING ME!

Grr.

Dear Travelocity:
Totally read that as "Travolta".

John Travolta has his own damn plane, and would be expected to bend his itinerary to my needs.

Seriously, this is the worst I've ever seen it. I'm starting to feel tempted to just not go home for Thanksgiving this year, between the ridiculous itineraries and the cost. (Though I could get a reasonable flight if I were willing to spend $1100...)

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Each company uses different data to determine your rates. As sucky as it is, it's not some guy who has an issue with the fact that you had to fight with the insurance company to get them to pay for your repairs. It's a cold, calculated system that is raising your rates. Property casualty actuaries don't have vendettas. Maybe you could talk to an actuary at your new company and they could explain the factors going into your pricing. If you call the company and ask for the personal lines pricing department (and whoever handles your state's auto lines) they might be able to explain it better to you.

I'm just trying to figure out how only one at-fault accident in my entire driving history results in a major insurance carrier choosing to decline me for coverage, especially since they're citing this mysterious reporting agency as their reason. (I mean, if someone had gotten hurt or it was due to negligence or DUI or something, I could totally understand. This just seems strange, and the fact that I have to get a report from an outside agency to find out why only exasperates it.)
