Apparently I value my very, very expensive Aeron chair more than my aunt's day of wedded bliss. But I was at her first wedding, at least! When I was five.
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.
I found my local precinct! And called the detective bureau! And talked to a very nice man who told me to just come in with all my paperwork and whatnot. The policeman is my friend.

With a starting offer of just one cent, brisk bidding for the prime chunk of South Pacific real estate quickly boosted the price to 3,000 Australian dollars (US$2,330) before eBay pulled the plug on the auction this week.
"Clearly New Zealand is not for sale," eBay Australia spokesman Daniel Feiler told the New Zealand Press Association, adding that 22 bids had been made before the company acted.
