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!

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

Cassie, did you get my text? So relieved is me.

I was away from home 'til too late to watch TAR!!! Who won the leg??? I hear that it was a non-elim leg -- really???!!! So, who is now "marked for elimination" ?

Thanks!

Oh, and congrats to Lyra Jane on the baby!

And lots of love and strength to Pleides and her family.

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

Sumi, the blonde girls won. It was a non-elim leg, and the coal miner/wife were last AGAIN.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Cassie, did you get my text? So relieved is me.
Ah, yes. I got all sleepy and snoozed for a while. Now I am going back to sleep so we will have to do the rah-rah later. But? Glad you are relieved.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

TAR: BJ and Tyler were also last in non-elim rounds twice and ended up winning, albeit with absolutely no clothes since they were mugged by Phil both times, as per the rules. Kentucky were damned lucky (again!), but they just don't race effectively enough to make it to the final four, let alone three. They might suck it up enough to make it through the next leg if there's another "oops, we got lost!" team (ala Peter/Sarah), but I wouldn't bet on it.

Timelies. I've skimmed, since I was away this weekend. Pretty exciting weekend - Saturday I went up to Maine in a Gale and also spent a good four hours chatting with mom by oil-lamp-light due to a power outage; yesterday, while taking a stroll downtown where I grew up, I was about a half block shy of being killed by a falling air condtioner. Good times, good times.

::thinks about Jesse's air conditioner secured with BubbleYum and dental floss::

I was a half block shy of being bisected by a runaway bulldozer once. I always point out the chipped brick wall when I walk by it with people.

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

It's funny, my first thought wasn't "Wow if I'd been walking a little bit faster, I'd either be dead or very seriously hurting", it was "huh, someone just lost several hundred dollars in two seconds."
