Natter .44 Magnum: Do You Feel Chatty, Punk?  

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.

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?

You guys don't have a bank holiday today, I take it?

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.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

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.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

But unless someone's got something like schizophrenia, which is clearly related to nature vs. nurture, I'd never recommend meds without psychotherapy.

Works just fine for me. Depression is brain chemistry, not just unexamined Issues.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

So 3 workers are at my coffee place this morning. As opposed to the normal 10 or so. long line needless to say. I was so surprised that several people were asking why workers were out. Then my boss said he didn't know anything about the Boycott.

???!!???

I don't watch the news or read newspapers and I knew all about it. Where are these people living?
