See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

I am to math as Hec is to cats.

How do you feel about hairless math?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

How do you feel about hairless math?

I feel as though any and all math is beyond the scope of my understanding, and I think it has little to do with my plumbing.

Always Anti-fascist!

I'm Allyson in this. I have dyscalculia, Allyson. Have you ever been tested? Many people that have it are highly verbal, creative and poetic.

I've got all the photos of the CowParade in Boston from my MooTour this weekend up in a Yahoo photo album for those who are unafraid of 134 or so pictures. Later I'll post my favorites in my LJ, if you want to wait for fewer with more commentary....

HOLY ASS

I just got an email about my 15 year high school reunion.

Why the hell would anyone go to something like that?

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

So I go in early Thursday morning for a lithotripsy procedure.

ION: yay, percocet.

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

Lithotripsy attempts to break up the stone with minimal collateral damage by using an externally-applied, focused high-intensity acoustic pulse.

Cool - that sounds so sci-fi....

The kidney tissue jiggles harmlessly with the sound waves and the stone itself crumbles, right?

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

Why the hell would anyone go to something like that?

I wish I had one.

Thursday! Tom, ouch. I hope Percocet continues to be your friend.

Yes, but only if you reverse the polarity of the deflector dish.

Gawd, we make that joke so often we should acronym it....
