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

Oh hey, I learned something funny at lunch today: My coworker is on the same hockey team as Mike Meyers! Apparently he is prone to not bringing his own water and using up other peoples'.

I still laugh that Gawker "spiked" all Myers sightings with a hockey stick...until the day the editors saw him with a hockey stick.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that was funny. But don't you mean "spindled"??

How can kids not like tacos or spagetti?

Yeah, that's weird. Anyone who doesn't like tacos in some variation is just not right to me anyway.

My god, that's awesome.

The BF and I have taken to barking out "Swengin" Wu-style at each other at odd moments. We both find this way more amusing than it has any right to be.

I love this.

Erika: see you in the funny pictures! Or the Movies thread, as need be.

Do they dislike tomatoes? I remember eating buttered noodles as spaghetti for a while. And picking the tomato-bits out of tacos.

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

Tacos seemed like so much work to me as a kid. Plus the hard shell would break while I was biting it and it'd spill its innards all over or else I'd get taco stuff all over my face.

The hard shell always put me right off tacos as a kid. Now burritos, I could get down with.

Matilda Azalea Smay is a beauteous name. And nice initials, too.

Our wings are not tired.

My boys don't like tacos or spaghetti. They eat about 3 things. Very annoying. I suppose I should have been more of a bitch about it when they are younger. They are eating fewer things than they did just a couple years ago. They don't seem to like things that are combined. They will eat cold cuts and they will eat bread, but not a sandwich. Annoying. I don't know how they got so big with their limited food list.

The trick with hard tacos is to mix cheese, sour cream and/or beans in with the other ingredients to glue everything together and then let it sit in the shell a bit so that it softens.

Or make your own shells so they have just enough give not to shatter.

My trick was once the ingredients were in the taco, I'd snap the taco along the spine so there were two half shells on each side of the filling. You'd still spill stuff, but not nearly as much as if you just bit into it as is.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

My trick was to take over all the cooking on taco night and switch us to soft tacos.

Also, I'm deeply suspicious of this sneaking-in-a-little-sauce manoeuvre.
