"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Ah, the old meaning of liberal. I'd almost forgotten it.

Heh, I was just talking to a friend yesterday about the stunning contradiction of Massachusetts being such a hotbed of commie-pinko-liberalism, and, yet, the phrase "banned in Boston" was well known OUaT for a reason. Gay marriage! And blue laws! Puritans! And Kennedy's! Busing riots in Southie! And the People's Republik of Cambridge!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Weirdly, or perhaps not, Seattle is much the same way: blue to the point of pink, but with a ridiculous number of blue laws.

Coding and Sleeping

The cure for hiccups I know about is to get a glass of water and straw, stick your fingers in your ears, and blow through the straw into the water. This comes from a Subaru repair manual so you know it has to work.

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

Old Atari vidoe games on a keychain! [link]

Each keychain has a secret - they contain real games. Plug in the included 6 foot cable (on a battery powered reel) into the keychain and your TV , and you really can enjoy the games of yesteryear. Yes, you read that right: these keychains contain real Atari games, and are fully playable!

Speaking of Cambridge, Chris Schlesinger of East Coast Grill and cookbook fame has opened a sandwich shop (with beer and wine available!): [link]

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

Is it possible for an old break in a leg to start hurting years later? There are two screws in my leg bone at that point, if that makes any difference.

What Laura said. As I have recently learned, osteoarthritis gets old joints, and joints can be made prematurely old by trauma.

Boo! I don't wanna have to drive to work every day.

Think of how much I want to punch people in the face, and you have a sense of my own frustration.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I don't wanna have to drive to work every day.

You don't want to stop the walking. Arthritis is a use-it-or-lose-it disease. At this point, you probably just need to up your NSAID consumption to keep down the inflammation, and take them before you exercise, not later when it starts to hurt.

Yes, I have arthritis in both knees and my hands. It's the family curse.

brillig

other contender for Bluest-State-of-All

We recognize no such competition here in Utah, where there is much hangwringing over the fact that approval for the president is only at around 50%. Jesus cries when the good Utah children don't love the President.
