Is the page kid safe, Jilli? My daughter keeps flitting in and out of the room. I don't care if she sees unusual piercings or modifications.

Photo-wise, yes. There's swearing and pervy language, but the pictures are kid safe.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

A solution was the invention of massage devices

Good Vibrations has an antique vibrator museum, with a wide array of these venerable "medical" devices.

In Western medicine, female hysteria was an incorrectly diagnosed medical condition that is not currently acknowledged by the medical community.

Well, that exact word is no longer used, but everyone knows that the diagnoses of conversion disorder, somatization disorder, and histrionic personality disorder cover different parts of the old hysteria diagnosis.

The diagnosis of hysteria itself goes back to good old Hippocrates. It gets it's name from his theory that the symptoms were cause by a "wandering uterus" that had lodged somwhere in the body where it did not belong.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh thank god -- I got that 01:02:03 04/05/06 thing from my father. I was wondering why no one had emailed it to me yet. Also luckily, it had the "once in a lifetime" caveat, not the NEVER BEFORE, NEVER AGAIN!!!!11!!

Jesse, I got that e-mail from my uncle just now.

But -- how can it be "once in a lifetime"? What about 01:02:03 PM?

That's 13 hundred hours, sailor.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

What about 01:02:03 PM?

I suspect that the timestamp prescriptivists would say it doesn't count because it's really 13:02:03. Feel free to be all handwavey and @@ at them.

Oh, you know what? Whenever I see a time with a colon in it (01:02, for instance), I assume it's non-military time. It has to be colon-free for me to even grasp that it's military time.

Well, that makes sense, then.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

This just in: I learned during the Institute seminar today that there exists a Human Foamy Virus.

I leave the symptoms of infection to the Buffistas' collective imagination.
