I do have a good thing for today: I have witchy feet! Or at least, I have stripey socks and pointy shoes.
Maybe I've always been here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The Stepfordification of Katie Holmes - it's a horror movie in plain sight.
The brothel creepers look a lot like Hec's flamey sneakers.
Brothel Creepers come in many styles - the main thing is the thick, crepe soles. My sneakers are just sneakers.
I thought winklepickers were on the cover of Joe Jackson's album Look Sharp but on further review they are merely pointy shoes.

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 am really curious where the terms 'brothel creepers' and 'winkle pickers' came from.
Is there any crossover? Can one get one's winkle picked in a brothel?

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
Maybe in Thailand.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Winkles are mussels, so a winkle picker is something pointy enough to pry open a mussel.

For $10 extra, sure.

If I only had a brain...
SO repealing today.
Woke up. Household tally: One son throwing up for second day, one daughter feeling malade for second day, me with migraine.
Today? So over it.

The only problem with repealing today is that I am going to be just as tired in a redo.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'm more than half through today. Tomorrow is car tune-up, so I leave work early (and cost of tune-up is covered by warranty).
Can I take a make-up repeal on Thursday?

Your tag here.
SO repealing today.
I read this as "Significant Other repealing today." and thought that that was an unusual way to describe a relationship breakup.
