Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Cooking for Engineers has a pumpkin pie recipe with photographs here.

Linkeat Emptor. I have not made this recipe myself - the only pumpkin pie I have ever baked was a long time ago when I lived in the UK and had only the vaguest idea what the final product was supposed to be like. You may insert your own humorous conclusion to this story and you will probably be correct.

Canned pumpkin = pumpkin in a can (although the pumpkin is often cut with butternut squash, since today's pumpkins are bred for good looks more than good taste).

Canned pumpkin pie filling = pumpkin pie filling in a can. May legally contain up to 5% pure(*) evil.

  • Note: Legally, "Pure" evil can contain as little as 65% evil.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Oddly, The Snow Queen is one of my least favorites. But I think that is bacause thrall is one of those things that indicates strength of mind.

But all that stuff only works if your recipient has the same software, no? Well, except the delayed send.

That is so.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Tom, what's that tag from? I know it but my brain won't give me the id jackpot.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Eek, flea! Careful!

So, here's a question: I recently re-subscribed to Lucky. I just today got in the mail the October, November AND December issues, and they say my subscription expires in September. Can I call bullshit?

It's from Dr. Katz, sweety:

Ben: "I'm saying, Dad, that it's lonely at the top. So if you wanna ride my gravy train, you better hop on, now."

Dr. Katz: "Why do you think this is the top? I mean, you could be lonely for any number of reasons."

Ben: "What are you trying to say?"

Dr. Katz: "I'm saying, you're a lonely guy. ... Don't blame it on being at the top."

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

I use them to remind people to vote when I am at the library.

Yeah, that makes sense, and I don't mind seeing other people wear them in the same way I feel icky for wearing one myself. I just have a powerful knee-jerk reaction to having gotten a fair bit of busybody "And why haven't YOU voted? Don't you believe in democracy?" during the years when I worked more in the public eye. Even though I'd never say anything of the sort even when I do wear a sticker, I'm completely allergic to even seeming to give the faintest hint of an impression that I'm like that.

eta: flea, dayum! I had no idea! Do be careful.

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 just don't feel like voting today. I just dont wanna.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I intend to vote, but I can't figure out who's running, or why I should vote for or against any of them! It's city council and school board, which means they're probably various flavors of liberal democrat environmentalists, but how can I know what flavors?

You might want to try the League of Women Voters website for info on local and statewide races--I needed to find the text for a Cincinatti ballot issue for work, and the smartvoter.org was the only place that had it online (also info on other Ohio and California races).
