This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Uh, for the slow on the uptake, where did the "I'M IN YUR NOUN, VERBING YUR NOUN" phrasing come from. I saw it on those cat photos posted a while back, and Two Lumps did a strip using it about a month back. Help?

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

It evolved from the long weird lineage of All Your Base. I, um, saw something about it a few days ago on some blog or other.

Cute nephew post alert!

So they've told D about the pregnancy. He's really thrilled with the whole concept of a baby and of being a brother. Lots of his friends have siblings, and one just had one recently, so it's not a foreign concept.

My SIL works at the same Petite Acadamie that D attends. She's picking him up from his class and one of the other moms comes in with a teeny newborn. D is fawns all over it. Then asks SIL "Is this our baby? We can take it home now?" SIL explained she has to get fat first.

So: clear on the concept, not so much on the execution. I forsee the next few months filled with "Where's our baby? Why isn't it here yet?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Is this our baby? We can take it home now?"

Aw!

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

I think my nephew would be a wreck. Good on D, sara.

He's always loved other kids and really gets a kick out of babies.

We'll see how he feels in high school. Heh.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

yay for new baby and D's wonderful reaction!

I forgot - the hardest thing about the time change is that on Mondays it will be almost dark when I go into work.

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

Thanks, flea. The cats are killing me.

Is it wrong if I just don't like Heroes? I'm just now watching last week's, and... eh. It's complicated, and I just don't care.
