I wonder if it was raw milk cheese?
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I much prefer to read transcripts of the SotU speeches the next day. For one thing, I don't have to see his face or hear his voice. For another, I can read that stuff to myself in a lot less time than it would take to watch the actual broadcast. That way, I get the civic duty thing taken care of with half the stress and no damage to the TV.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I can't bear to watch the SotU. I will do an Elvis. I'm watching Discovery Channel instead.
Maybe MythBusters needs to get hold of some of Dubya's stories.

So not watching the SotU. Instead I'll work a little more and then go home and watch Bleak House or walk the dog.
Yay Tivo and iPod!

I burnt out on listening to politician pontificate around the time I was old enough to vote. I'll read it, but I won't listen to it because usually even when I agree with it, it makes me queasy. Mostly. I caved for the Obama speech, but that was unique. Oh, and there was that incident where I had to listen to Hyde during impeachment because I couldn't get to the radio to shut it off, but it resulted in me making a holy mess of the kitchen. I started slamming shit around.
I think I'll go call my brother instead.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I haven't watched the SotU since Smirky McChimpface took office, and I don't intend to start now. I already know the gist of it: "Bend over, kiss more of your civil liberties goodbye, and take it like a man, America! Women, please check your uterus at the door. It will be returned at the end of the night, with a zygote implanted -- enjoy the next nine months! Now let's roll! Who brought the blow?"

Ann, that's a ferret.
Saw 2001: A Space Travesty earlier this evening. (Thumbnail review: An hour and a half of silly fun for fans of Airplane and Police Squad. Apropos of the conversation, a couple of lines from the movie.
("Bill Clinton" is on stage, playing a saxophone.)
"Madonna": I love the way he blows his horn.
"George Herbert Walker Bush": My son likes to toot, too.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I called my mom at the second the SoTU started and when I picked up the phone to dial, there she was. She had called me at the exact same second, which makes sense, since NEITHER of us are gonna watch the speech. I am watching one of my favorite shows that no one but me likes, Dirty Jobs on Discovery.
