Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

so this eating thing. I have eaten a banana, a slice of toast and half an apple in the last hour. My stomach is making terrifing noises, which I am going to assume means it was empty and happy to have some food. The other side of that is big nasty loud belches. So not office friendly, I hope this settles down quickly.

Heh. You're on the BRAT diet. You need some rice now.

Always Anti-fascist!

My favorite Woody Allen Big Question quote is "Dad, why were there Nazis?
"How the hell should I know? I don't even know why the can opener works."
Don't really know where I stand on ID, except opposed to the whacked-out "Throw out all the biology and replace it with THE LORD." kind. But do I think there's a Creator? Not sure. Although I say "Please, God, this." Or "Thank you, God." But I'm not always sure if they are metaphors or if I really expect Someone to be listening.

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

Phrase that makes me laugh:

just another weapon of craxy.

Once upon a time, in fact in Newton's day, there were metaphors in use of "Exactly what kind of god is this??" when attempting to reconcile scientific discovery to received doctrine. I find the "clockmaker god" particularly elegant, because, okay, clocks are just cool, and it's one of those theories where no proof is ever necessary either way. Basically, god built a clock, and every once in a while he winds it up quietly, and if we ever caught him at it he'd be a pretty lame god.

I mean, not that I believe in god, but if I had to, I'd tend to choose the elegant, reality-based metaphor over the one that is craxy-flavored.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just got outed as a kravver in the training class. At least two people knew what it was an volunteered that is was more hardcore than the instructor's kempo.

Now I have to pitch the school in the next break to the woman next to me. I can't turn this off.

Trust my rage

Today's new horror is they're upping the child-teacher ratio in my daughter's classroom, unannounced, in a week

I'm surprised they can do that without telling the parents. Even if the ration thing weren't an issue (and it should be) don't you get to know if someone *new* is coming in to watch your child/ren?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Me, I'm just waiting for the ID head honchos to successfully replace the fields of physics, chemistry, and engineering with more biblically-compatible disciplines and then embark on the maiden voyage of their prayer-powered flying machine.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Aaaaaaaand earwormed.

What she said.

I keep staring at my to do list for the day, which is all about stuff I need to do so I can go on vacation, and thinking, "why should I care? I'll be on vacation."
