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

If that includes amps, electric guitars and whatnot do they have to take back Stryper?

Heh.

Didn't Stryper abandon Christian rock for, um... secular rock? Or am I thinking of some other Christian band?

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

I only found Joyti because the articles about her arrest mention her mother by name. So weird.

Her name being Joyti couldn't have hurt.

Was St Augustine using the same definition of "mathematician" that I am?

IIRC, "mathematician" and "astrologer" were pretty much interchangeable for a (fairly long) time in Europe. Possibly St. Augustine's time, but I'm fuzzy on when that was.

Aww... sad....

MARSHALL, Texas -- A truck transporting zoo animals overturned early Tuesday, spilling about two dozen penguins, an octopus and tropical fish along a highway north of Marshall, authorities said.

"We had a penguin wreck," said Department of Public Safety Trooper Richard Buchanan. "They were thrown out into a ditch and in the roadway."

Three penguins that landed in the highway were killed by oncoming traffic and one died in the crash, authorities said. Another penguin suffered a broken wing.

The driver, Kelly Hodge, 34, and passenger Tammy Root both sustained minor scratches and bruises, police said. Root was taken to a local hospital for treatment and released, authorities said.

Most of the fish lived and the octopus appeared unharmed, officials said. The octopus and fish were traveling in plastic bags, and some fish died when the bags burst, Buchanan said.

...

The penguins were traveling in heavy tubs which broke open the truck's trailer. Troopers succeeded in corralling most of the penguins in a roadside ditch, Buchanan said.

Workers from the Caldwell Zoo in nearby Tyler assisted officers in chasing down the penguins and rescuing endangered fish.

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

AND eat one bite from every single donut given to my family upon my grandfather's death.

What the hell? Sophia, how do you meet these people?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Me: "Emmett, do you want some pie?"
Emmett: "Pie! Apple, please."
Me: "Do you want a big slice or a little slice?"
Emmett: "I like big pie and I cannot lie, you other brothers can't deny."
Me: ::hands him slice::
Emmett: "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh. It's like....a quarter of the pie.
Me: "It is exactly a quarter of the pie."
Emmett: "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

Aimee, what's an OBC?

I think I'm going to have to save that big pie line and use it later.

My ten year HS reunion will be next year. I don't know if I'm going to go or not. Like Strega, most of the people I hung with were in other grades. Maybe I'll crash the one in '08 and confuse everyone.

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

In case Aimée isn't around to answer, OBC=Other Biological Contributor. Used for them that don't rate the term "parent".

AHHHH. It's a term that I like. From the tone, I guessed, but I couldn't figure out what it could stand for. The B kept being "bastard."

Which probably isn't too far off the mark.
