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.

A cardinal just attacked the window.

Huh. A crow just attacked a window at my office about 10 minutes ago. I hope things aren't going all Hitchcockian.

Any Chicagoistas about? I'm meant to shove some boxes in my car and drive to Chicago in a few hours (argh), and I know there's construction on the Dan Ryan.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

From one of tommyrot's Colbert links:

In fact, some aides crowed over reports that the president easily bested Colbert in the reviews of both comedy acts.

Yeah, uh -- I don't think *comedy* was Colbert's top goal.

A cardinal just attacked the window. It was pissed.

Their chief weapon is surprise. Surprise and fear. Their two weapons are fear and surprise....and a ruthless efficiency. Their three weapons are....

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I hope things aren't going all Hitchcockian.

Hmm. A bird was trying to attack my window last night, too. Do they also celebrate May Day and mobilize?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh and once, at summer camp, a nun did an interpretive dance on the altar to Day by Day.

Come on, haven't we all done that?

I mean, given how insanely repetitive the song is, what else is there to do?

Could be - I doubt any of those birds have green cards.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Now I want to add "and a fanatical devotion to the Pope" to the end of every sentence.

While eating olives.

But not locusts. My coffee fueled impressionability will only go so far.

Shrift, my cow-orker's wife drives the Dan Ryan every day, and hasn't really had a big problem, especially if you hit it before the heart of rush hour.
