Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Father issues. IJS. ( had to google to get the correct spelling of "father"... this is what drunk is like)

oh yeah. he makes Joss Whedon look like... um... well... like someone who famously likes his father

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

Woudldn't they be more likely to say 'square'? Or is there not much overlap in the dork/square Venn diagram?

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

From wordorigins.org:

Dork

Popular etymology would have it that this American slang term comes from a term meaning a whale's penis. That is half right.

The term did originally mean a penis, but human not cetacean. This slang sense dates to at least 1961 and is probably a variant on dick or dirk (another name sometimes used to personalize the phallus). The sense meaning a stupid or obnoxious person follows a few years later, 1967.

When did the suffix 'wad' begin to be applied to 'dork'? Actually, when did the suffix 'wad' begin to be applied to anything?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was out last night with a woman who just started my program, moving here from Oakland, and her feet are falling APART. I guess she's not used to all the walking.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

The Left Coasters all seem to have posts about how cool they are. The Right Coasters all have things to say about an issue.

The Middle of the States people are unilaterally amused.

Except when drunk.

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

Good good weekend. Saw Casanova with Polgara, followed by buying a new book and coffee.

Then! Got a cut and color, met Kat n' Lori for lunch, got a new shower curtain at Bed Bath & Beyond, had cafe ole and a fruit tart at a yummy pastry shop, saw cutiecowboys on Oprah, and am now off to put up the new shower curtain and take a much needed hot bath.

Nice!

Allyson, I forgot to give you the book which is stupid becuase it was right next to the couch. AM dumb.

I guess she's not used to all the walking.

That's not really my issue. The skin on both of my big toes are shredding. They aren't bleeding, but they are peeling and falling off in a scary sense.
