There are dogs in a couple of bars in my hood occasionally. Not often enough for me to feel comfortable bringing my own.

Although the expression probably began in the specific sense in which I used it -- offer up a sacrifical victim in your own stead --, it has been generalized to mean "wash your hands of so-and-so, usually for not a good enough reason."

I've heard it and used it, more in the first sense than the second. Or rather, I'd say it's always getting someone busted or exposing their part in a screw up, but whether your own ass was on the line or not is more variable.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I wonder if there are cool podcasts for kids. Like...Dr. Demento or something.

I'd be willing to bet that there is. If there isn't I think there should be.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'm still trying to figure out why Jose Canseco was at the Serenity thing. So weird.

I asked SM's publicist about her client's musculature. She smiled and said "He does yoga." A lot, I'm thinking. Mmm.

So what she's saying is that in addition to looking like that, he's reeeeally flexible too?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

He's totally stalking me.

Makes your mind wander, doesn't it?

Speaking of that, why was NPH there, and was the cutie from Numb3rs there?

Lastname-czewski. "czew" being pronounced "shef", god bless the Poles.

We have a friend who's name ends in "wicz" which is pronounced "vitch". I'm not certain, but I'm guessing it's Polish.

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.

Speaking of that, why was NPH there,

I was wondering that too.

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

I met him once (David Krumholz). Not tall, but gots the soulful soulful eyes.
