Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Film is just about always fine in the carry-on scanners. If you want to be totally paranoid about it, you can put the film in a lead bag inside a carry-on -- the security people get a bit annoyed at that, but you can be totally sure that it's safe.

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

If you're going to hand carry, I'd recommend a ziploc bag with all your film in it. New film is best in the original boxes, and spent film in neither a box nor the opaque plastic canisters, since they'll probably open anything not still factory sealed. If you have the transparent canisters you should be okay.

hip deep in pie

Bon, I was going to say I've gotten pictures like that when the batteries were dying but two whole rolls is a bit much. It sounds like Hil may have diagnosed it.

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

Was it an autofocus camera, Bon?

Uhhh...what do you mean? (I don't know.)

I meant an automatic camera. And I just edited to make you look crazy.

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

An escaped chimpanzee at the Little Rock Zoo raided a kitchen cupboard and did a little cleaning with a toilet brush before sedatives knocked her out on top of a refrigerator.

As keepers tried to woo Judy back into her cage, she rummaged through a refrigerator where chimp snacks are stored. She opened kitchen cupboards, pulled out juice and soft drinks and took a swig from bottles she managed to open.

Keeper Ann Rademacher says Judy went into the bathroom, picked up a toilet brush and cleaned the toilet. Rademacher says the 37-year-old Judy was a house pet before the zoo acquired her in 1988, so she may have been familiar with housekeeping chores. Judy wrung out a sponge and scrubbed down the fridge.

It took a couple of tries, but the zoo sedated the chimp, who fell asleep on top of the refrigerator with half a loaf of cinnamon-raisin bread she had pulled out of the freezer.

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

Can Judy come to my house for a while?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Locally I usually get Gloria Ferrer for a good champagne in that range

I got this specific Gloria Ferrer sparkling wine (brut, NV) for New Year's Eve this year, and it was really outstanding. I highly recommend it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Are any of the Raleigh-Durhamites around?

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