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

I would tend to be skeptical about this, but I am tall so it must be true: Taller people are smarter: study

NEW YORK (Reuters) - While researchers have long shown that tall people earn more than their shorter counterparts, it's not only social discrimination that accounts for this inequality -- tall people are just smarter than their height-challenged peers, a new study finds.

But seriously, I think that last sentence is poorly-written - it implies that all tall people are smarter than all non-tall people.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Twisted is good.

Yep. Do you like Sark? If so, you should like S3.

Ooh. I had to relist something on ebay since the original buyer disappeared into the ether, and with 5 hours to go on the second auction, I'm already going to make more money than I would have last time. YAY.

eta: time to sign off, since we will be boarding soon.

What is even happening?

How short-sighted of them.

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

With the implication that men are smarter than women, since they tend to be taller than women.

Seriously, I'll kick those reserachers' asses in Scrabble.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

The "My Name is Earl" talk has reminded me that I need a couple of Joy icons.

And "Scrubs" is filming again. It's nice that I can stalk ZB on my home from my therapist.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Do you like Sark?

I don't find him ohmygawdHAWT like some do, but he is entertaining.

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

I'll kick those reserachers' asses in Scrabble.

But then I'll kick yours, because I am taller. So there.

The Grevioux guy was pretty attractive in person. Tall, with a commanding presence.

Okay, two down, two to go. I really need to put on a swimsuit and go to krav beach day.

Really.

Also, tired.

Why do I keep getting troubleshooting phone calls from students at a college I haven't worked at in over a year? I need to start billing them.

ita, take a blanket and sleep on the beach.

You just answered your own question. You provide free support - what's not to like from their point of view. I'll your number is passed from student to student, and possibly also given out by the people who would othewise have to do what you do as part of their job.

TB is right, aurelia.

I have no beach towel. How is that possible? How is that right? It's just not.

But I'm in the swimsuit now, and I just have to finish this chocolate cupcake and head out. Really.

Tired.
