Do you not have chains, Hec?
I don't think we do. We'll probably just buy them as we get into the mountains.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Any time someone mentions Ice, Ice Baby, it makes me think a guy I know who likes to perform it at karaoke and a bunch of his friends will get up and be his backup dancers. It's absolutely hilarious to watch.

They get a lot more expensive as you get into the mountains, so you might want to consider a more local place. A LOT.

I hope you have a good trip, Hec.
We might get some snow in my area this weekend, too. Well, for values of weekend that equal Monday. But since I have Monday off, I figure that counts.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I saw the strangest karaoke of "Summer Nights." Four or five girls who were really into it, plus two or three less-than-interested boys who'd been dragged up there by the girls.
Sounded like the original, played in stereo, with one speaker turned off.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yay, Lake Tahoe. Have fun, Hec.
It is threatening madly to snow here. In fact, I can see the snow coming down over there, but it still hasn't made it actually here. However, I have a fire going and a fresh load of wood both on the porch and in the house, so I say, bring it, sucker!
Oh, except that our buddy is traveling in today. Hmm. Oh, well.
Also, I have discovered that reading COMM before reading Natter is a healthy practice, thus allowing me not to have the disconcerting conversational segue from ice dancers to, erm, graphite reinforcements.
In related news, today we discovered one of our pencils was missing its lead altogether. While normally that would make me go, huh, today it is making me feel altogether queasy, what with the channel for distribution of fluids aspect of the conversation above.
Hm.
Also? Snowy.

I just ran across someone griping about Fox being so quick to cancel quality programming like Tru Calling, Fastlane, and Reunion. Hilarious that I can find common cause for discontent with someone whose tastes are so opposed to mine.

Okay, I never saw Reunion, but how could anyone call Fastlane "quality programming"? I can understand people enjoying it for the mindless women and fast cars angle, but even those folks would realize it's lacking in any real substance. Right? Uh, right?
ETA: I see Yahoo news has chosen to change one of their headlines. It originally said "Man Shot By Cheney Leaving Hospital" which gave me images of him lying in wait outside a hospital in his hunting gear. It's now "Hospital Discharges Man Shot by Cheney". I guess I wasn't the only one misinterpreting.

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
