This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Oh, that movie where those people kill everyone who comes over for dinner except for Ron Perlman.

Last Supper.

Ding ding ding! Dana and juliana split the prize -- Dana for answering correctly first, but since she didn't name the movie, juliana also wins for being the first to actually name the movie.

Gold stars all around!

(Note: gold stars have no cash value. Do not eat gold stars, put gold stars in eyes or open wounds, and do not feed gold stars after midnight. See your doctor if you experience any of the following: testicles growing in stranges places, the uncontrollable urge to sing that song John Ashcroft wrote, or a deep and abiding love for Zamfir and his pan flute.)

Sigh. Annoying!coworker was warned about excessive socializing at work. And he was good about it for about two weeks, but today he fell off the wagon, and is going around and striking up conversations with everyone in our area.

My brother is also up your way, so I think we'd be set if we need to evacuate, but I'll keep you in mind.

Please do so. I don't know if any other Buffistae are in Houston or the affected Gulf Coast environs, but we're willing to help those in need.

Oh, and I suspect that the ACL Fest is going to be a bit of a bummer this year, what with the gale force winds and tornadoes.

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

I have a deep and abiding love for Zamfir and his pan flute - for all values of "love" equaling "fantasize about buying and playing for my enemies from some hidden location so they can't turn it off."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

"fantasize about buying and playing for my enemies from some hidden location so they can't turn it off."

Funny, I have the exact same love for Jingle Cats.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I knew that one, Teppy. And not that this frustrated liberal would *think* of planting conservatives in the back yard!! *cough*

It'd never work, anyway, considering I have two dogs.

I will post regular updates, unless the power goes out. But you have my cell phone.

If all else fails, we shall text message.

Silence means security silence means approval

My best friend in the world I haven't heard from. I figure they'll either ride it out or drive up to Tulsa tomorrow.

Hopefully they'll get out. They're NW of the Loop, and while they're on high ground (house didn't flood during Allison), that part of Houston would be in the infamous NE quadrant.

Hmmm....

LOS ANGELES -- A woman is suing ABC's reality show "Extreme Makeover" for unspecified damages, alleging its decision to cancel her appearance contributed to her sister's suicide.

In a lawsuit filed Sept. 9 in Los Angeles Superior Court, Deleese Williams, 30, of Conroe, Texas, claimed the producers subjected her to needless humiliation and goaded her sister, Kellie McGee, into insulting her appearance.

IANAL, but it seems to me this woman would have a hard time proving that her association with the show led to her sister's suicide.
