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!

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

I just ate mashed potatos, and a little bit of turkey, which makes me happy even if it wasn't nearly as good as Allyson's and Lori's. Also, there's a new GA on soon, which is also happy making.

I did order it today. The magic of Burbank finally pays off. Also, weird.

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

My cable reception is for crap. So no GA for me.

Pfft.

oh sucky, ita. It's a pretty good one. Too bad you aren't here cause you could watch it on one the 6 TVs in the house.

I'm watching, but I wanna be watching in BB.

I'll watch it online tomorrow. I'm not irritated that I can't watch it now (I was asleep ten minutes ago), just that it means I have to stop pretending I don't need to get a cable guy out here.

Well, first stop is to reboot the cable box.

I'll look again in the morning.

Megan, for the word that connects to M*A*S*H, it's the specific place where the series was located.

What is even happening?

Don't feel you're alone in Dessert Disaster '07, Cindy. My mom destroyed 2 pumpkin pies (one homemade, one store-bought) that she was making for the family Thanksgiving, and my créme de menthe brownies ended up like pumice covered with mint pudding.

Oh Matt, how'd your poor mom destroy a store-bought? What happened with your brownies?

Dessert Disaster '07, though ... I ... Did you go see the Glitter Twins? Is this a prophecy? Is this our fate? Are all our desserts doomed???

Heh.

Aurelia, I just looked at the pertussis article in Wikipedia. Most adults get a milder version because of lingering immunity. However, if you get diagnosed early via blood test in the initial stages (pre-coughing) you can avoid most of the awfulness. So it's probably a good deal for you to talk to a health-care provider if you've been around the little germ factorieskids in New Trier.
