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

So when does Em start krav? Seems like a handy sort of skill for an up and coming queen of the world.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

All is well that ends in pizza.

if there's a Creator, why didn't He redesign us with a separate passage for air and food?

I seem to recall that all/some of us are born with separate passages, and that the passages merge in the first few months. I recall it coming up as one of the various causes of SIDS, as the merging of the two channels doesn't always go smoothly.

Can anyone corroborate this? I seem to recall the separate channels make it easier for babies to breathe while nursing.

I'm also willing to believe it's all a delusion on my part...

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

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

I just got a call from BigBossMan in NY telling me that it was against the US code and the Code of Regulations to import blue footed booby guano.

I told him he was making me rethink all of my ideas for presents.

Allyson, I like these.

Hey! Those are almost identical to my glasses. Mine are bronze. And they're Nine West. I've had them for a couple of years now and still love them and get a ton of compliments on them.

I seem to recall the separate channels make it easier for babies to breathe while nursing.

I don't know about the merging part, but could you be confusing the pharynx and the larynx? Because they're rhyme-y. The pharynx is the single passage. The larynx allows babies (and many animals) to swallow and breathe at the same time. In humans it soon moves lower into the throat, where it's slightly less effective.
