I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ooh, it's available in the Borders in downtown Evanston, and also the one in my neighborhood. I'll have to pick it up to add to my holiday weekend fun....

Best way to observe Cephalopodmas: Calamari linguini for lunch? or teriyaki squid for dinner?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Nothing that far back. But they do have really great clips of him on TV doing "Space Oddity" and such.

Does it have him and Bing singing "Little Drummer Boy"? I could have sworn that was from a TV special.

So I'm bored enough that I'm watching the Panda Cam. And I see the panda. But I can't figure out which end is up. Seriously, it's like a panda blob. Maybe better known as a blanda.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I just got done flding 40 brazillion t-shirts.

OH! I used the term "brazillion" to a customer at the Saturday job. He spent 10 mintes expaining to me that the correct term was "bazillion", how many zeros it has, and where in the "illions" scale it came. He just didn't get it when I told him, "It's a made up quantity."

Bazillion isn't made up itself? Huh.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I think I might see ears on the panda. But I am not sure.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Congratulations to the Mr. and Mrs. Corwood Industries and Li'l Sphere!

Happy birthday Strega!

This pisses me off to the point where all I see is red: [link]

What's completely ironic about the whole thing is that the soldier is from Perry County, and the funeral and burial will be in Perry County. It is not a bastion of liberal thinking by any stretch of the imagination. 98% of the county is registered Republican. They support the war, and most other conservative ideals. Yet these idiots from Westboro Baptist are going to protest. Let the family bury their son and mourn in peace.

Phelps-Roper said she has no sympathy for Dunkleberger's family, which she said "is in full rebellion against God."

"They did that to themselves," she said. "They are the ones who turned that child, who they were responsible for, over to be raised for the devil."

On its Web site, the church attributes ills that befall America -- including the Sept. 11 attacks, war and natural disasters -- to what it considers to be the country's acceptance of homosexuality, adultery, fornication and idolatry, among other "mighty sins."

Since the start of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the church has protested at service members' funerals. "God is killing these soldiers for the sins of America," the church says on its Web site.

Whatever happened to love thy neighbor as thyself? Do unto others as they would do unto you? Forgiveness? Tolerance? Acceptance? Right, they've been replaced by fear and the appropriation of faith as a tool of hatred.
