Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Hi everyone! Thanks for the birthday wishes. And Happy Birthday, Calli!

Nilly, I'm so glad you are still around. I love your explanation of Jewish traditions and services. I was hoping you could explain to me what it means when someone dies between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. That's when my father passed away. I know it's propitious, but I don't really know why.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I copy-check my email better than this woman copy-checks an application to the US Senate to become one of the most powerful people in the world.

Yep. Me, too. Suddenly Miers's assessment of Dubya's brilliance is coming into focus.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

When they put up the "please don't wet the toilet paper rolls" sign in the bathroom -- lo, they stopped getting randomly wet.

This is really really gross.

Working fine for me, Kevin.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Ta, JenP. I was just being too impatient for the page to load.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Dept. of Random Shallowness:

I recently stumbled on this TomKat article from way back in June: [link] and I am so baffled at never having come across it before. Was this discussed? Did I just completely skip over the hivemind's @@ and squickage over the tremendous creepiness of the missing 16 days? Did I in fact participate, and have I completely forgotten because the laryngitis caused the bottom half of my brain to fall out my ass?

Dept. of Random Vindictiveness:

Tom DeLay possibly getting arrested, even for just a minute before instantly making bail and going back about his shady business, is just so beautiful. I can't wait to see Jon Stewart bounce and squee about it tonight.

The grossest part to me, LeN, is the fact that they started getting wet again as soon as the signs came down. Like *that's* supposed to be business as usual.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

The grossest part to me, LeN, is the fact that they started getting wet again as soon as the signs came down. Like *that's* supposed to be business as usual.

Or like people won't know NOT to do it without a sign expressly saying not to. Maybe there should be "Don't stab yourself in the eye with a fork" signs. And "Don't set fire to your cube-mate's hair."

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That is seriously freaky.

So is that TP thing. Do I even want to know?

Burrell! It's been forever since I posted with you! I'm so glad I can get to wish you a happy birthday to your face screen.

what it means when someone dies between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. That's when my father passed away. I know it's propitious, but I don't really know why.

I need to check it out to give you a definite answer, I don't want to make some unbased assumptions. Is that OK?
