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

"If you don't care about your health, quit for vanity!"

There was an anti-steriod campaign in high schools that targeted teenage girls along those lines. "See these zits? See how she looks like a guy?" I was impressed.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I hate everyone who ever raved about Zappos.

I may be getting these: [link]

Or...oh, my god, I found the exact same shoe I currently own which is falling apart as we speak. I take it back. I love you all.

Yeah, just as long as the commercials aren't trying to convince me that I'll blow my best friend's head off with my dad's gun if we smoke some weed.

Dude, I don't know what kind of weed those boys were smoking, but in my experience it should have involved a lot more loopy conversations about existentialism and trips to Jimmy John's.

Not in stock! Back to hating you.

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

The hate won't last Dana. Don't fight it. Zappo's like nicotine that way.

Too late now!

Check the network's web site. There may still be episodes available online.

Happy birthday, Emeline!

My sister could use any ID she's had since about age 15 or whenever she cut off her straightened hair. She's pretty much pulled a Dorian Gray. Which is creepy. I might look younger than my actual age--but at least my appearance has changed over the years.

trips to Jimmy John's

I had dinner there two nights ago AIWasFG!

Contrary to popular opinion, I wasn't stoned.

Punishingly Intricate

Speaking of Zappos, I was just looking at handbags over there and they have a category of bags called "North/South." ??? I've never heard that term before. And it's not defined in their glossary. Anybody know what it means?

What is even happening?

I worked with a woman who sent her mother flowers every year on her own birthday--to thank her for a job well done. I thought it was a cute gesture.

I worked with a woman whose son-in-law sent her a dozen roses, every year, on his wife's birthday. Smart son-in-law.

I saw a tv show once with before and after pics of meth users that was pretty convincing. They should do a time-lapse of someone's teeth and skin after smoking for a few years.

I think they do in Europe. There was a thing in the Carmen and Dave reality show where Dave Navarro was looking at his pack of cigarettes and was all, "PREMATURE AGING?!?"
