What is even happening?
I heard about that on NPR this morning. Nuts! And makes me wonder what exactly perfect conditions are, given all those years dad used to mountainclimb wearing wool sweaters and a nylon parka.
I know. I think the commercial carpeting, must have been the final spark. What season is it in Australia right now--late Winter, headed toward Spring?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
He's not the drummer for Spinal Tap, is he?
I was thinking "latent member of the X-Men."

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
He's not the drummer for Spinal Tap, is he?
Not anymore.

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
$1.24 million? Jesus.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It's not really a Bugatti though. Just in name. Though unstable at high speeds and a rumored 250 mph top speed seem unmixy too.
Huh. If I had $1 million to spend on a car, it would be a McLaren F1 [link]

From msbelle's new boyfriend, Brian Williams:
I am duty-bound to report the talk of the New Orleans warehouse district last night: there was rejoicing (well, there would have been without the curfew, but the few people I saw on the streets were excited) when the power came back on for blocks on end. Kevin Tibbles was positively jubilant on the live update edition of Nightly News that we fed to the West Coast. The mini-mart, long ago cleaned out by looters, was nonetheless bathed in light, including the empty, roped-off gas pumps. The motorcade route through the district was partially lit no more than 30 minutes before POTUS drove through. And yet last night, no more than an hour after the President departed, the lights went out. The entire area was plunged into total darkness again, to audible groans. It's enough to make some of the folks here who witnessed it... jump to certain conclusions.
No jumping required to reach those conclusions.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
The Welshman who cut off his testicle? My understanding is that he was developmentally disabled and drunk. So the story has a sad and even-more-fucked-up vibe to it.
