Call them and ask maybe?
Book: Where's the doctor? Not back yet?
Zoe: (beat) We don't make him hurry for the little stuff. He'll be along.
Book: He could hurry... a little.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Another patch of good news: Algiers and Jefferson Parish are being reopened. My grandparents and great-aunt will be able to go home by Sunday, if they want.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
When they were doing the whatsit, voir dire?--the thingy where the attorneys chose the jury--for my group, they let a breast-feeding woman leave. Which seems quite reasonable, but I've never been quite that desperate to get out of jury duty.

Because books.
Pssst, Cindy, there's no link in your post.

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

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I can be disqualified for not being a citizen, being over 70 or under 18, not speaking English, not living in the county, convicted of a felony, having already served, being physically or mentally incapable, or a primary care-giver for a permanently disabled perosn.
Ha! When I was in college, in Hampshire county, they called me despite my not being a citizen of the state. (I legally resided in Connecticut.) There was no "I don't live here" exemption, then. Of course, they also reoutinely called foreign students too, and they had to go in person to the courthouse to prove they were not citizens.
Knock wood that I am not called any time soon.
I don't think Karl Rove being on his back maoning in agony would have made disorganized people over their heads act any less disorganized. There would just have been more lying and adroit reality-denial, which would haev obscured the problem. So, really, we're all better off that ole Karl was peeing rocks, because I for one am a fan of reality.

Anyone know why Bush calls him "Turd Blossom"? Is it because he can make shit look good?

Karl Rove being on his back moaning in agony
A phrase that bears repeating and contemplation. A noble soul--especially one who knows what kidney stones can do--would have some sympathy, but I seem to be all tapped out at the sympathy bank.

Now tagless for your comfort.

In my reality, they are Pop!Rocks. Cause I think it would be funnier.

I think it's because he looks like a turd but makes Bush smell like a rose.
Yeah, I'm feeling slightly mean and spiteful today. The boy waited until DH left town on business to get up at 2:30, 3:30 and 5 a.m. Exhaustion makes me bitter.

Is that not just a Doonesbury joke?
