And, in something I never thought I'd say, Billytea said what I was planning to say about shaved beaver.
We shall call it 'sheaver'.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

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
But unless someone's got something like schizophrenia, which is clearly related to nature vs. nurture
I don't think that's true, since the cause of it is unknown. There are theories about viruses, and genetic disposition to it, but nothing about nature v. nurture.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Sorry, I knew I should have edited that for clarity. What I meant is that schizophrenia has biological causes, not causes that have to do with one's upbringing (which psychotherapy could help with).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Argh. It's another one of those Monday things. Didn't we decide to ban them from ever happening?

Nope. May Day ain't really special here....

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
No, no particular May Day celebration here, we're having Memorial Day at the end of the month which fulfills some of the same excuse.
But this is the day when some of the immigrant workers (legal and less-than) are going to skip work in protest, which gives it a good "workers of the world unite" flavor to me, as well as a necessary heads up in some of the areas where they're a significant labor force. I also heard that a Spanish-language version of the Star-Spangled Banner is supposed to be aired over a number of stations, which has some of the rightwingers foaming at the mouth over the "desecration" (as if any of them can remember any of the verses beyond the first).
There was a straight-faced comment in the NYT about how having a national anthem in another language was risking turning us somehow into Canadians. Personally, I think I'd like that.

Perhaps it works as some kind of transmogrification frequency. Hey, it's science.

I have to admit that I'm not sure what the translation is about( seriously, just confused) but that statement makes no sense.
It is 5am . That's what I get for going to bed early. I am actually ready to do things.
