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

In the House episode, the brain worms were from eating ham, which TOTALLY made me flip out like a ham-eating mammal, because I was all, "OMG! I have ham in MY fridge! I could have the brain worms, too, and I wouldn't know it! I EAT HAM!!!!"
Yep, it was "OMG, the cook-induced pork brain worms!" As opposed to "OMG, the cock-induced porking brain worms" of earlier today in misread Natter.

This is why I missed much of the first season of House.

"OMG horror movies every week!" is why I missed much of the first season of Supernatural.

Both of these facts are why I now let Buffistas tell me what to watch instead of listening to my own brain.

Ruby is welcome too, though our cats would probably bed to differ.

Oh dear. BEG. Beg to differ. No seduction as both cats are most definitely incapable of it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Happy Birthday, msbelle! I hope the day has improved.

My entire extended family in SW Missouri is without power.

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

There's a lot of fog out there.

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

Can't I just take the period out of what ita said, and go buy all new clothes?

Actually, no. If you remove the period, you have to have sex with clothing. Sorry!

Not enough cock?

Okay, really, now's time to get stuff done. Honest.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Jane Smiley has written a really excellent essay on W's psychology.

How do you build yourself a madman? Well, first you flatter him, and then you try never to make him angry, and then you feed him ideas that flatter him even more by making him seem to himself sentimentally visionary and powerful and righteous. You appeal to his already evident mean streak and his hot temper by reminding him all the time that he has enemies, and you cultivate his religious side so that the sense of righteous victimization inherent in extreme religion comes out. If he were not already an ignorant, dependant, fragile, and rigid person, he would not be susceptible to this sort of conditioning, but by temperament and practice, he has nothing of his own to counter your efforts. Then you hire a few shyster-sycophants like John Yoo to tell him (ignorant as he is, with no actual understanding of the Constitution), that as president he can do whatever he wants.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I felt really insulted last night at W's "educator-in-chief" comment. If it's one thing that pisses me off to no end that ridiculously condescending tone of his where he repeats his talking point lines to us as if we're retarded and just. don't. get. it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I wonder if Bush has any idea of any deeper meaning behind his talking points. Maybe he gives no explanations because he doesn't know any. Maybe he thinks the talking points ARE the argument.

Watching and listening to him just gives me the creeps.

Maybe he thinks the talking points ARE the argument.

Yes. Just as he thinks, "victory" is a plan. Um, nope. Victory is the goal. There is no plan.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Actually, no. If you remove the period, you have to have sex with clothing. Sorry!

But at least then I wouldn't have to do laundry!

Actually, I was good, and started three of the 6 loads I want to get done today, but I had to wait until someone else's clothes were done in the washer. I waiited an extra 15 minutes, but they were still in the washers, so I took them out and put them neatly on the dryers, but now I know I'm going to have to wait forever to get the dryers.
