I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Although you have to wonder about a guy who doesn't tell his overprotective mom about his considerable promotion for more than two years, and only tells her because he lands in the hospital.

I don't know - there's that key word, overprotective, plus going from a high-paying, sciency job to this...think P-C and his mother's reaction to his change of direction, if his change had also involved criminals and guns. Which I assume it does not.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I just realized I have enough birthday money to buy a Roomba.

Squee!

[eta: Roomba owners - how does it do with rugs? Will it choke on the fringe?]

A great story well-told, that ends well, and proof that crymaking drama is as effective on the small scale as in any epic.

Nice. Reminds me of my friend's family - their house burned down on Christmas day (though actually due to a menorah candle incident), and his mother ended up breaking her leg jumping naked from the second story - she'd taken off her nightgown to lower the kids to the ground. (Everyone's fine now, btw.)

Allyson, congrats!

Also, fwiw, I have a Buddhist friend who's used JDate to meet nice Jewish guys. Many of the people on there are far from observant.

Edited because I can differentiate between there/their/they're.

Yeah, I mean how difficult could it be to find a furry with a deer costume on Craigslist and avoid all the ickiness?

Exactly! And there must be someplace on the internets that sells sex toys that cater to, um, game rather than games. Not that I'm going to Google for that while at work.

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

Funny....

WICHITA, Kan. -- A botched kidnapping ended with one of the assailants shooting himself in the groin, police said.

The man had just stuck the gun in his waistband when it fired, shooting him in the left testicle, authorities said. He cringed, causing the gun to fire again and strike him in the left calf, they said.

The 23-year-old man managed to walk into a hospital for treatment. He and his two alleged accomplices, ages 18 and 20, were arrested on attempted kidnapping charges. They were accused of trying to kidnap a teenager in a dispute over stereo speakers.
