Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"You Don't Know Dick": VP Shooting Action Figure Launched...
JUST when Dick Cheney thought it was safe to rear his "aimless" head, someone goes and immortalizes the veep's quail-hunting mishap in an action figure. HeroBuilders.com yesterday launched a "You Don't Know Dick" doll, complete with shotgun, scowl and "retractable-spike kick shoes" - just like the pair 007 villain Rosa Klebb sported in "From Russia with Love."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Tim Gunn stuff confuses me.
I have achieved donuts--one jelly filled, one chocolate glazed. But I can't eat them until my tea has finished brewing.
I IM very sporadically, which means when I sign on I'm immediately in five conversations and I feel bad leaving the computer ever.
I remember talk from UNIX days. I think I even pulled it off across systems with my sister. Not sure how, though.

But maybe he and Andrae can have dinner at the Red Lobster and work things out.
For real! I thought Andrae might be a little woo-woo for Tim Gunn but maybe not.

The Tim Gunn stuff confuses me.
I didn't get even as far as reading the quote, the name itself confused me already. I wanted to correct it to "Charles Gunn" and "Tim Minear", and then I was all confused.
I feel bad leaving the computer ever.
Considering I have to leave the computer now myself, I think I have that guilt, too.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Nilly, my gmail address is sathinks, so if you get an invite, that's me.
Just got back from golf class, which was two hours of confirming that no, I can't actually hit the little ball with the big stick.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Is $100 a lot to pay for a full leg/bikini wax?
According to the salon menu on my bulletin board (what? doesn't everyone keep one handy?), my local place does bikini waxes for $20 and full leg waxes for $60. So, $100 is a bit high, but not excessively so. The place I go is a nail/waxing salon--nice but not chi chi. (brenda, it's the Nail Bar by your place!)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Q. Didn't someone post who is the current voice of the Geico gecko in here recently? Google is giving me no love, but it occurred to me this morning he sounds like Marc Warren from "Hustle."

Let's hope he doesn't make a bad swing and rip a big divot out of the hull of the International Space Station.
If the space station's fragile enough that a golfer's drive can damage it, I don't have too much hope for it being able to withstand collisions from all the assorted debris other spaceflights have left in orbit. Did Acme get the contract to build it?

All this talk about donuts reminds me that today is Paczki Day, and I didn't get any. I've been wanting to try the rose-jelly version from a Polish bakery near Milwaukee Avenue; guess I'll have to go there another day (at least they carry them year-round).
