If I remember correctly, ND once gave directions to some tourists when he was in Hollywood.
They wanted to get to DisneyWorld. He pointed down Highland and said, take that street and follow the signs.
Maybe I've always been here.

Chances are you are grabbing onto something much more sinister than popsicle sticky.
I remember seeing little old ladies in prague wearing white gloves to avoid this. At first I thought it was just lols being lols and...white gloves. Then I noticed them only putting them on before climbing aboard a tram or subway...

When was the last time you had fun on New Year's Eve?
I started having fun when I realized that going out on NYE was not fun for me but staying in and playing games with friends WAS fun.

Most of the people who've been asking me for directions have kids in tow, and although I don't like children, I try not to be actively cruel to them.
Right now I have no plans for NYE, because I want to sit at home in my pajamas, drink Mimosas, and read fic all weekend.

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
I've been known to give cheerful little lessons to tourist clusters. Like, if they have the big map open and are looking at it in the middle of the sidewalk I (nicely, honestly) stick out my arms and herd them to the side while saying "if you stand over here, you won't be in peoples' way"
They usually get this "ah hah!" look and thank me.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I want to sit at home in my pajamas, drink Mimosas, and read fic all weekend.
This is pretty much exactly my plan. Which reminds me, I have some more printing to do.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ranks right up there with telling annoying single women to head to Dupont Circle because they can find many attractive unmarried men there.
Now that's just mean.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hey Beej - are you in Bitches? Because I wanted to respond to something you posted, um... last week Friday, I think.
