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.

Wheee, I get to use vacation time to wait for the cable guy this afternoon.

Send us postcards!

That didn't come across as too snotty, did it?

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

Well, I was offended.

By which I mean, no.

Dear tommyrot,

Wish you were here! (to go down in the scary, damp basement with the cable guy instead of me.)

Yours until the US drinks Canada Dry, Sue

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

Yikes Sue. I was home this morning to wait for delivery men myself. Now they have come and gone. I have a new TV and A/C. Now I guess I should shower and go to work. Bah.

Yikes Sue.

I could have opted for service calls on Tuesday afternoon or next Friday evening, but then I thought, dammit, I'll miss the Grey's Anatomy finale.

And I can't find my rabbit ears anywhere. I'm afraid I loaned them to someone and forgot, or threw them out.

I have a new TV and A/C.

That's very exciting!

Did you check on your head? (That only applies if you're a rabbit.)

I'm kinda surprised that most Americans approve of the government examining their phone records.

Americans by nearly a 2-1 ratio call the surveillance of telephone records an acceptable way for the federal government to investigate possible terrorist threats, expressing broad unconcern even if their own calling patterns are scrutinized.

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

The intensity of sentiment on this issue is in the administration's favor as well: Substantially more people, 41 percent, feel "strongly" that the program is acceptable than the number who feel strongly that it's unacceptable, 24 percent.

I feel like such an utter fucking alien in my own country.
