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

Now can you tell my why Aspercreme doesn't actually contain aspirin?

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 always figured it was along the lines of "It feels like rubbing asprin directly on the ouchy-- if that actually worked."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And actually, when I typed that, I was really thinking about AsperGUM, which my grandmother used to give me when I had a headache.

That's because they had you so drugged up.

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

Happy Dictionary Day!

Part of my job is to do data entry in legacy software developed in 1987. I keep waiting for the screen that tells me:
