But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

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

Um. Excuse me while I xpost this...

Apparently, my book is available for preorder at Walmart and Books-a-million.

Which is odd, because I'm still editing it.

Um. I wrote a book. And it's for sale. At Walmart.

I need to go have a heart attack.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Very, very exciting Allyson! Congratulations!

Cool cover too.

Frankenbuddha - So the Sox signed Matsuzaka. What's that sound I hear? George Steinbrenner wailing and gnashing his teeth? Sweet.

Now now, I know I'm new and all... but as a Yankee fan, I feel the need to defend..... eh. Nah, who am I kidding, even I like to razz GS. (although it would have been nice to get Matsuzaka).

GO YANKEES!

Consuela - Welcome to the new guys Sonus and Omnis!

Thanks!

OMG! Allyson! You're an author!

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

That dolphin story is freaky shit.

The Allyson story much less so. About bleeding time.

Kathy A - A great idea for those looking to spend some of their end-of-year money on a charity or two: Kiva.org, an online lending platform for microfinancing (like the new Nobel Peace Prize winner started, only virtual). For $25, you can help finance a small entrepreneur.

Thanks Kathy! I heard about this site on NPR, but alas, I was driving, and it was the weekend, and couldn't remember which show talked about it.

Another charity that I like to give for the holidays are: Charity Checks a way to give charity and the your friend/relative gets to choose which charity gets the money; and Heifer.org an organization that donates livestock so families can fend for themselves.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

In other weird animal news, did everyone hear about the 7-legged hermaphroditic deer that a hunter ran over?
