A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Yeah, I opened up the styrofoam, saw that there was no eggroll, and shouted, "INJUSTICE!"

and you know that it's a huge pain to go back. IF they give it to you, then your food will be cold by the time you get back, aside from the effort of going again . . .

Silence means security silence means approval

So I called about biodiesel heating oil today. Right now the "bio" part is $2.87, the "diesel" part is $2.89-$2.95, so we're looking at $2.90 a gallon to fill up the tank.

I thought that was great... until I discovered that regular ol' heating oil has fallen by 20 cents. It was running $2.90; now it's $2.70.

Hmm. Decisions, decisions. I'm leaning toward biodiesel.

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 check craigslist everyday for a cheaper apartment. Or at least something bigger for what I'm paying now.

And some of the listings ask for references, which I get for me, but how the fuck do I get a reference for my cat?

Seriously. A pet reference?

I'm guessing they just want an assurance from your current landperson that the cat didn't trash the place.

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

Just get your current landlord to say the that the cat hasn't trashed the place.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

but how the fuck do I get a reference for my cat?

Your vet, maybe?

I've seen a couple of listings where there is a "pet interview" as well.

After Ruby has been in the car, in her carrier, hauled into a strange place, and then have a complete stranger reach in to the carrier and try and touch her?

Oy.

Do cats really trash an apartment? Do they mean like, spraying?

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

but how the fuck do I get a reference for my cat?

Has your cat ever attended school or had a job? If so, you should be able to get references there. Otherwise, you might want to consult with experts in the fields of string or small mammals.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Hello, all. We heard about Miers withdrawing at a business lunch, and spent the rest of the hour feeling kind of sorry for her. We wondered if the whole thing had been a really mean high school joke, like Dick Cheney said, "Hey, let's nominate the ugly girl. "

Perhaps my mind is stuck on Veronica Mars.

At least poor Harriet saw the writing on the wall, and did not put herself through an in-person humiliation. But the person who comes across most poorly in all this is GWB -- I can just see C.J. Cregg beating him on the head with her handbag.

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

The tenant in the place before us had a cat and she scratched a hole through the vinyl floor in the kitchen and they had to replace the entire thing.
