Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Argh, ita. Your this week is Dead To Me. Next week? On Notice.

And you were alerted to all this by a store clerk?

I think not a clerk, a back-office employee. Not sure why they flagged it, but the account was opened in January, and they called in April.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I deserve sex, alcohol, and gifts to make up for this week. Instead I have a pain in my shoulder.

I have a pain in my shoulder too. We're pain buddies!

when "they" say something like "this wine has a fruity taste of cherries, with an oaky undertone"-- are there cherries in the wine?

All of that stuff Hec said, plus wine can sometimes pick up flavor qualities from the wood in the casks that the wine was stored in.

Oh, BTW, in TAR - what was the

sumi, that thing was called a palanquin.

The guy who ended up telling it to me stressed he didn't think it was funny.

If a joke just isn't all that funny, does it still get to be called a joke?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Why not? I'm not that funny and my Uncle calls *me* a joke.

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

The week? She remains the same. At best.

However, there is jasmine soap awaiting its journey to you. I just have to check with Perkins as to your mailing address. I'll also be extra-vigilant about not letting her sneak anything extra into the package, 'cause I'd hate for you to open a package from me expecting jasmine soap and find jasmine soap plus, like, Carrot Top wrapped in bacon or some such. 'Cause Perkins is just that way.

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

I am saddened to report that I heard ita's gross joke when I was in Jr. High.

I am 5 hours away from getting to an airport to start my trip home. The next 5 hours I have to entertain myself. Thank goodness for free wireless in public libraries.

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

Nice public library! The ones I've been to around here have internet terminals you can sign up for, but no free wireless.

Re: Robertson's idiotic weather predictions....

There was a poll connected to MSNBC's story on Robertson. The question was "Do you believe Pat Robertson received warnings from God about storms and tsunamis?"

Responses to the totally unscientific poll? 77% NO, 12% NOT SURE, 11%YES.

If you want to believe that God speaks directly to some people, fine. I disagree with you, but fine. However, that 23% that can't tell that Robertson is a blowhard idiot, and God would never waste his time with such a moron.... That's way too many.
