It's like a hurricane outside. Seriously. I wouldn't be surprised if they report 100mph wind gusts.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
It's the second crazy-ass storm today.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Gronk. I stayed home sick from work, so taking a three hour nap is completely appropriate. And yet, I am now filled with gronk that I was not quite feeling, earlier...

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So frigging weird to be in LA and be aware of a freak storm on the East Coast.
Anyway, back to Pierre, Franny learned the song because it is on the Really Rosie CD, and I am a child of the 70s so I play Really Rosie to her. But also because when she gets very worked up, Pierre is one of the few things that can reliably calm her down.

Lash yourselves to the doorframes.
My coworkers.... OK, so we're outside and there is a squirrel scouring the patio for crumbs.
" Oh man, look at the nuts on that squirrel! They're huge!"
me: ponders for a moment if I really want to be a part of this conversation. Figures it is unavoidable. Looks at squirrel .
"Um, y'all? Those are boobs. It's a girl squirrel. With babies somewhere."

I'm loving the thunder. Possibly because I worked from home today and so am assured that I won't have to try to get home in this mess.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Phooey. kat perez beat me to the ocelot limerick (by Eve Merriam, not Nash), which is one of my favorites.
(Side note: it's entirely likely that Hec will come barging in and insist that it is in fact not a limerick because it's not dirty, that proper limericity depends equally upon both meter and filthiness. Which I think is quite wrong, but he gets very entertainingly ranty about it once you get him all wound up.)
