On teh Gay front, for some reason, this really irritates me
OTOH, gay oldest brothers find it amusing.

it's just that I truly blow at the "in a timely fashion" part of the whole deal.
I just love you, JZ. I sent out my nieces' Christmas presents about March. Their birthdays were in March, but I did not include birthday presents then. No, the birthday presents are sitting in my living room. I would say that I am such a bad aunt, but they are really pretty cool prezzies, both Christmas and birthday.

Personally, I would rather get a totally awesome present a week late than a lame one on my actual birthday.
Yes this.
Okay, actually, I don't care one bit about the timing of presents. I just like getting them.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh my God, I've been on hold for over half an hour being transferred back and forth between people who apparently have no idea how to hell to get me to talk to someone in the goddamn ortho clinic. I'm just going to assume my shoulder is healing fine and then invent my own freaking physical therapy.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Yarg. Halfway through a small bowl of ziti with goat cheese, fresh basil and cherry tomatoes from the cafeteria, I encountered a ziti covered with what looks not at all like pepper or any other known spice, but in fact like a dusting of black mold. Or possibly kitchen-floor grit. In either case, lunch is over.

Eww. Are you going to take it back to the cafeteria?

In Pittsburgh, where my dad was doing a residency, I was eating some macaroni in the hospital cafeteria when I bit into something hard. I thought it was uncooked macaroni, but it turned out my first tooth had fallen out. It was small and white and looked like a tooth, and I almost ate it.

I just spat it out and threw it away and I'll go rinse my mouth in a second. If I were more civic-minded I'd take it back down to the caf because the lunch rush is just starting and they really shouldn't have the EW FUCKING GROSS out there poisoning staff and students and patients' families, but I just feel disgruntled and disinclined to scoop it back up out of the trash, trundle back down four flights of stairs, argue with the cashiers over $1.50 worth of pasta, and then stand there for another 20 minutes while various staff and supervisors are called and they try to figure out whose responsibility it is to get it out of there (um, yes, I have alerted them to skeevy foods before, so unfortunately I know the procedure).
I really need to never eat there again.

So how the fucking fucking FUCK do you cat owners get a cat into a cat-carrying box? HOW?
Tail-end in first with the up-ended crate is easier.
Yes, this. This is what we used to do with Beastie. It prevents the kitty from bracing his back legs efficiently. Just make sure you get the door close the moment is head has dropped inside the carrier.

Tugboat. BWAH!

That's for sure.
