Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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

Ah, yes. King Booker. The obsessive amount of detail about wrestling on wikipedia always cracks my shit up. I can be entertained for hours by something I don't even watch.

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

Stapler, stapler, make me a match....

I'm not sure if I'm more disturbed by the earworm, or the fact that someone else got the same earworm at the same time I did.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

Ow. In the last twelve hours or so, I have hit myself really hard in the mouth with a box fan, and gotten upset enough (for various reasons) to bring my fist down hard on the top of the back of my office chair, fucking up my wrist on the solid piece of wood that give the back its shape.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You don't just say that without linking.

I saw them on [link] and elsewhere. They're all over the internets!

Ann, that's a ferret.

Yeowtch, Sean!

Is S at least doing better?

And, unlike Lizzie Borden, Nicole Simpson, et al., they're genuinely unsolved as opposed to "the one we're sure is the real killer got off."

Is that true with Lizzie? I'd always taken that case to be more, "we think the real killer probably got off."

I don't get the distinction.

What is even happening?

Ow. In the last twelve hours or so, I have hit myself really hard in the mouth with a box fan,

OUCH! Poor baby.

and gotten upset enough (for various reasons) to bring my fist down hard on the top of the back of my office chair, fucking up my wrist on the solid piece of wood that give the back its shape.

Also poor baby. Is work bringing on the upset, or is this related to S? How is she doing?

(Anyone else want to get Sean and Daisy Jane liquored up, lock 'em in a room and do experiments on them see who comes out? Just me then. My money's on Daisy, fwiw.)

Frank, nobody was ever convicted of the Borden murders -- Lizzie was tried and found not guilty.

Right, but a lot of people still thought she had done it. If I remember correctly, the gist of the defense was "a woman wouldn't be capable of this" even though the evidence pretty much pointed right at her. While a number of people bought the premise of the defense, a lot of people didn't as well.

ETA: Actually, that doesn't look satisfying.

There are other theories as to who killed the Bordens. But I think it's safe to say that most people believe Lizzie did it.
