All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Heh. Good title.

Crowded train on the way home tonight. Homeless woman passes thru the car asking for quarters. On her way back thru the car she chooses me to tell about this man she is in love with who she met because he was stalking her but he just doesn't have much to offer. Oh, and his name is Charles Barkley.

Even better... my SiL shared this story with me: At the bowling alley last night, M (my 6yr old nephew) turns to D (my brother) and says, "What's a tortoise?" The bowling alley being a loud place, D leans over and says, "Tortuous???" M, not hearing D, says, "Yeah." Well, this was the law firm bowling league, so there was a chance that M had heard that word and didn't know what it meant, so D proceeded to explain what tortuous meant, and of course the first chapter of tort law (that's my bro!). M stops D half way through, puts up his hand and says, "No, no, no...you're describing tortuous, I'm asking you 'What's a tortoise?'." D, a little stunned, says, "It's kinda like a turtle." M said, "Oh, ok," and skipped away.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

On her way back thru the car she chooses me to tell about this man she is in love with who she met because he was stalking her but he just doesn't have much to offer. Oh, and his name is Charles Barkley.
Oh! I like him too. I should fight her for him.

M stops D half way through, puts up his hand and says, "No, no, no...you're describing tortuous, I'm asking you 'What's a tortoise?'." D, a little stunned, says, "It's kinda like a turtle." M said, "Oh, ok," and skipped away.
Heh. That's a pretty cute nephew you have there.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Colbert Report is very Space Ghost tonight. It's freaky. Also freaky: I knew one of the new Apprentice contestants in law school. I'm scared of the day when she looks like a jackass...because they all do, eventually.

All is well that ends in pizza.

"No, no, no...you're describing tortuous, I'm asking you 'What's a tortoise?'."

I love thinking of a 6 year old saying this.

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

Feh. I walk away for a phone call, miss the turnover, and barely make it into the top fifty.

Rolling Stone take on Scientology

Not their first time, either. They did an expose a few years back, including the religion's effect and influence on Tom Cruise and John Travolta.

Someone posted a website in the last natter that provides a rough value for your house. Does anyone remember what that website is?
