A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

The status is NOT quo.

msbelle, if you are overwhelmed with friend requests, no worries, but if not I'm pix_kristin and would love to see Mac too.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Frak! Is Gud around? The ass-hole former attorney general of Kansas, just got elected to fill the local county attorney general office of the guy that beat him!

Oh, I forgot to mention, I clicked on msbelle's link for someone else, to see the picture of Mac!cutiehead.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

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

And msbelle thought people wouldn't want to read about this. This is like, the most amazing thing ever. I mean, babies are great and all, but this is like this new human come into our lives with no experience of his new world, you know, and yet can communicate to us. Also, such an incredibly gorgeous child.

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

Oh, and about the vegan using cows to plough--if you're the sort of vegan that thinks honey and yeast are crossing a line, labour seems a bit much to ask of the creatures out there.
Fair point. Of course now I have to go find out why yeast is mean. I get that honey is stealing foods from bees. And I guess that yeast is just being mean to the wee yeasties themselves? Hmm. Leisure cows!

MAGIC PIZZA that arrives AT YOUR DOOR when you just click on the weird flat thing.
I want magic pizza. Why won't / don't / can't I order pizza when I am alone? I mean, sure I hate calling for it but that's why I have the internet, yes? So I don't have to actually ever talk to people.

Every desk had a metal pica stick (a ruler in picas)
I miss my pica pole. No use for it now, but I do miss it.

Mac is just stunning. Every day, I drive past the hotel where msbelle stayed when she swung through Seattle last year (it's near Lillian's daycare), and I smile because of Mac. This week, the smiles have been all-out grins.

Back to the conversation last week about the Hitchens article (Why Women Aren't Funny) I came across this comment by Andy Kindler on another board:

Tried to take the Hitchens article from the top, but was defeated again by the horrible quality of the writing, and could smell his rotting soul in every line. Also he seems horny or something creepy like that. He likes the ladies, and somehow he ties that into nothing. There's a lot of innuendo and such, enough to make everyone sick.
Christopher Hitchens wouldn't know comedy if it was served to him on a bed of ice berg lettuce, with a fat free Eyetalian dressing on the side.
He wouldn't know comedy if comedy was his room mate, and each morning upon rising, proclaimed in a loud voice, "I am comedy."
He wouldn't know comedy if it fell on his head. If it fell on his head, and he in turn fell down, he wouldn't fall in a funny way. He would collapse under the weight of his own hideousness, and even though that would be enjoyable to watch, it would not be funny.

I've swung over to the dark side. Actually cooking my own. Boboli Pizza makes good crusts and great sauce. Add your own cheese and toppings, done in like 8-10 minutes. Faster than most deliveries, and no talking to people (except in here... with us! :)
