Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You know, when I remember that there's street-sweeping today, and move my car well in advance of the metermaid, I find myself saying "Take that, The Man!"

At least in my neighborhood, street sweeping is the same days each month. (Most of Chicago that's not so.)

When I was in Minneapolis, they had "snow emergencies." Also, about once a year they'd sweep for leaves, leading me to refer to that as a "leaf emergency." So to this day I think of street sweeping as leaf emergencies....

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

When I was in Minneapolis, they had "snow emergencies."

We get those in MA in a lot of different towns (in fact, part of my lease is that I can park my car - when I have one - in the driveway when there's a snow emergency signaled by flashing blue lights on some light poles around town).

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

I know I'm late, but HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! to Megan & B. Congratulations!

I managed to only get lightly rained on on the way to work. Sounds like the trip home will be considerably wetter.

Ouise! I have to run to TA so I can't post with you, but it's good to "see" you!

Please, all of you, make sure your feet are warm and dry. Wet feet bring out my inner-Jewish-mommy, and, well, nobody wants that.

For those rain-soaked today, NC's experience suggests that tomorrow will be better. It's gorgeous here today (if still very humid).

The New York Times today has an article about liposuction of the "back fat" that hangs over your low-rider jeans; also "bra flab." This is in young, obsessively thin women. To which I say, if you bought pants that FIT YOU, there wouldn't be anything hanging over the waistband! Ditto bras. Geez. I was glad one surgeon refused to do liposuction over the pubic bone of the woman who felt she had flab hanging over the edges of her brazilian bikini bottom...

My boss's mother had fat liposuctioned from her ass and injected into her hands. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

How much fat? I am now picturing your boss's mother with giant hands like a Mummenschanz puppet.

Hee. Actually, for all I scoff, her hands look amazing. How old my hands look doesn't exactly keep me up at night, but if that's the kind of thing that matters to you, it does work.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm not interested in lipo myself (because I'm pretty wary of unnecessary surgery, even minor surgery), but I can see the appeal.

And I can't be the only one who'd love to see Nilly's inner Jewish mommy.
