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

Grand Canyon FAQ at the National Park Service website: [link]

How old is the Canyon?

That's a tricky question. Although rocks exposed in the walls of the canyon are geologically quite old, the Canyon itself is a fairly young feature. The oldest rocks at the canyon bottom are close to 2000 million years old. The Canyon itself - an erosional feature - has formed only in the past five or six million years. Geologically speaking, Grand Canyon is very young.

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

Apparently, Saddam is dead.
It's over then. And quietly, for what it was.

Does this mean it was done before the start of Eid?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

And quietly, for what it was.

The less quiet part starts tomorrow.

Am I callous to be glad that the less quiet part happens after he is already dead and gone? Because I don't know if I wanted to see that before the fact. I don't even know if I want to see it now actually.

Never mind -- I think we're thinking of different less quiets. I'm assuming we'll see a doubling and redoubling of the hostilities, which I don't want to see at any time. But I wasn't clear.

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

I wonder if it's up on YouTube yet? not really!

Oh! We were on different less quiets.

I was thinking of celebrating his death. Which I don't think I want to see.

Not more hostility which I am quite clear on not wanting. Whether I see it or not.

Vaguery, it's not just for the internets. Because you will be having the wrong conversation and not know it at first.

I getcha, Cass - we were both all oblique and shit. Plus, I'm way too tired and generally icky-feeling tonight to make sense of news that makes me more tired and icky. I think that's a sign that it's time for sleep, and not for the discussing of world affairs.

So much for being fucking demure.

Go and get some sleep. It'll all be a new day on the calendar, if not actually new, tomorrow.

Just saw Inherit the Wind for the first time. Boy howdy, that's a hell of a movie.
